Paradox BBC 1

[Deckerd]

I've searched for a Bob thread on this in vain.

What did we all think? Where is it going? On the whole I was entertained and not too irritated although her getting out the car at the end and running towards an out-of-control petrol tanker shouting 'stop stop' was a tad ludicrous.

The Scot boyfriend looks like he's got a short run from the trailers for next week. The Enigmatic Dark Scot's accent sounds dodgy. I'm going to have to look at the cast list now.

Bob's thread

Who knew God had a digital camera? Or is someone taking deliberately obscure photos in the future and sending them to the past using a Feynman radio?

 

[Deckerd]

It all downloads in one transmission, so I think more earthly sources are in the offing myself. What's a Feynman radio?

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Used as a plot device in Stephen Baxter's novel "Time" (http://www.ansible.co.uk/writing/time.html), a Feynman radio takes advantage of the advanced wave solution of Maxwell's Equations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorber_theory)
to transmit information into the past.

Second episode was slooooooooooowwwwww. I got to the stage when I was longing for it to end. They have real problems building up any tension because in the 'us against them' scenario, the suits give absolutely no reason for any of their decisions. This is a problem because if the viewer is left to draw their own conclusions about it there IS no reason for their actions. Only two eps and I have a Primeval vibe already.

I received a message from the future telling me to turn off the TV before the episode came on. So I did.

I had that message last week.

You're lucky. That's an hour I won't get back.

ok episode 3, and I think im done.

I may watch the final two episodes, but any second season would require a major retooling of the show, to tempt me to watch
