    NSFW Trailer.

    What the hell did I just watch?

    That was AWESOME! :D

    The gore effects weren't great but it was very adult, lots of bad language, interesting characters and it was a hell of a lot of fun.

    13 weeks of this? Hell yeah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    It was totally amazing :)

    SyFy really are on a great run at the moment.

    Fun show. Could be another Z Nation.

    Though what happens when she needs to refuel. I mean everyone else refueled before the race but she didn't.
    Nice memorable way to cross the finish line.

    One review I read said it may be better suited to somewhere like cinemax where they can just let go. No need for the black boxes then. Though I'm pretty sure Chris was on full display.
    US tv regulations are confusing me. I mean this had swearing and violence, yet a cable channel like AMC can't have swearing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I think the black box worked to be honest and made it more funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Yeah I think they were intentional. Fits with the Grindhouse theme. I don't think you'd see an erection on SyFy (or any TV network for that matter). :)

    Oh yeah, I'm not saying they didn't work. Just the regulations are strange


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,637 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    well the first episode is a lot of fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    That looks very entertaining with a decent cast. Wish that the SyFy UK channel would air their shows closer to the US airings.

    Perfect replacement for Banshee! Chicks and cars,whats not to like? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Episode 2 continued right on from where episode 1 finished so so so fun.

    Good first episode, very entertaining. Plenty of gore for the Rob Zombie fan in all of us :)

    The only thing I find irritating was how bloody stupid that cop is. What part of "They'll explode your brain" does he not understand? Anyway, there was always bound to be something stupid like this in it, so I'll forgive it. I just hope he cops on now (unintentional cop pun :) ) and gets on with the race.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Only 3 episodes in and I have some serious love for this show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The black box is back :)



    SyFy aren't being subtle with any of their shows at the moment and that's a good thing!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    That first episode was brilliant. Pure b-movie garbage, delivered in the best possible way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The weakest episode of the season so far and still a good episode at progressing the series as a whole.


    Really enjoying this summer series.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,548 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Poor Arthur. So much suffering yet very little of the pleasure the others got.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Ninthlife


    Have watched the first 4 episodes so far and it is extremely enjoyable.. so many nods to old sci fi, b and horror movies.

    Very refreshing show!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,007 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    It starts on Syfy UK on Thursday August 10th at 10pm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Ninthlife


    6 episodes in and hopefully there is a second season.

    Just switch off your brain and enjoy the carnage and comedy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Damm this show is just so fun and over the top some the gore this week was just great.

    I found out last night that Slink is played by Colin Cunningham.

    He played Pope in Falling Skies. How could I watch 8 episodes and not realise that? He looks (and acts) completely different. :)

    Best character in the show by far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Major Davis from SG1 as well.

    Loving the blood and guts and gore and twists.


    I wondering with the go with a follow up season or will they go the route of anthology series if it gets renewed.

    Is it wrong that I want that board game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I wanted the action figures :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,548 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Was sure they were going to reveal Arthur was the Primo before. It did look like him when Grace met him at the club. Though that was probably just to trick people, since how would she forget him.

    Really like Aki. Not just the outfits, but her exaggerated walk.
    Surprised Grace didn't mention she looked like the Chinese woman's daughter

    This show is just the perfect summer entertainment.

    That's annoying. Still watching at FX UK's pace. Hopefully there is a decent wrap up to the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That was a great fun finale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Cancelled due to poor ratings the showrunner said after the finale ...Gutted love the show

    God damnit, this was one of the best shows I've seen in ages.

    I thought that wrapped everything up and did leave it open but not too much.
    eally enjoyed the finale and the season overall.
    Expected Aki to attack them after finding Christopher.

    Grace has her new CW show, Valor, and Arthur has been cast in the Titans series.

    And again, I loved how Aki even managed to get her hip popping walk in just walking a few feet to Slink.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 18,001 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    Just finished this. What a damn shame it was cancelled - unashamedly nuts but clearly a work of passion.
    Julian Slink is one of the best characters I've seen in a long time - I imagine he'll make a few cosplay appearances. From reading up afterwards, Colin Cunningham was very much into the role and put a lot of heart into it. Damn shame we're not getting more.
