Does anyone have any actual comments on the show? I enjoyed the first
season quite a bit and was looking forward to last night's second
season
premiere. However, I was disappointed by the lack of comedy in the
episode.
It was played as much more of a straight sci fi show, and I think I
appreciate the humor more than the drama. I was also disappointed at
the
apparent intention to make Henry a bad guy for this season. That
doesn't
ring true for me. He strikes me as one of those good-to-the-core kind
of
guys.

Not that I'll stop watching, of course. It was just, in certain ways,
not
what I was expecting.
I was just glad they didn't completely push the Reset Button on the
alternate-timeline memories.

they did!

No, they dealt with it. They just made it so that they could move on.

It was a cop out. And the cop-out they used was a magical device that can
wipe a strain of memory in a flash, with no permanent harm to the victim. A
strain of memory that the user has no way of ever identifying. And if this
sort of lazy writing is any indication, Henry will promptly forget that he
has this dohickey and never use it again.
