Currently watching 4x5. I dunno, it's disjointed.
Not enjoying the Matt character at all, too busy with his own agenda. He's definitely no Cutter or Quinn. He's crap at his job.
Siddig's character is too 'evil businessman', very two dimensional. He neuters Lester waaaayyy too much.
The Emily thing is, right now, a distraction. She's two dimensional as well.
Why is Abby looking so sick?
The creatures don't seem to be any kind of recognisable thing from our past.
Using these pulse weapons is stupid - sometime lead is what you need to blast through a door or similar.
Looking back at prevous eps this season,
-- 4x1 was a good comeback.
-- 4x2 was a good callback to Connor's flatmates from the old days, though the Jess's flat thing was left up in the air.
-- 4x3, Burton and his agenda are too, well, uninteresting, and the guys from elsewhere too self-obsessed to be interesting.
-- 4x4, the school story line was okay, especially letting the pretty girl get eaten (not something you'd normally see), but the other story was dull, though it shouldn't have been.
I finally figured out the thing I'm disliking - it's not a team any more. They all go off on solo jaunts, rather than banding together, which was what worked before.
For all that, I'll keep watching, it's still worthwhile.
Anyone else have thoughts?

They didn't even get to the standard half season (12EP's) limit. Terrible, utterly terrible...
