I think that's why they need aliens, fighting corporations is boring overall and that leaves them with having to focus on the immediate cast too much and their is barely anything there. More Stargate and less Battlestar Galactica.

I thought they were speaking pretty good French then I remembered they're Canadian. Makes perfect sense and they should do it more.

So is the guy who played one still a cast member? What a strange way to deal with the main character.

They wrote him out and the show is better for it.

I agree I just figured they would pull him from alternate reality and let him have a personality. Just strange they would get rid of him when he had such a major role.

I always feel like for a show that starts without aliens, to add aliens would be a huge disappointment and signal that the writers are desperately making poo poo up as they go along because they used up all their ideas already.

Definitely can but the faceless corporations in this show are bad villains. If they had a compelling actor to play the head of one of them it might be alright. I don't think the writers of this show have the chops to write more than one or two decent characters so aliens should be added.

It's been meandering since the beginning. It definitely has its good moments but most of it is meaningless. Remember that really ominous cargo hold nobody could get into and when they did it had a frozen lady and a bunch of junk? What the gently caress? That's the easiest way to build an oh poo poo moment and they couldn't even come up with a bunch of deus ex machina to fuel future episodes. Cmon! Just copy Stargate!

At least th fight scenes are passable so far his season, I know that isn't a high bar to clear given the first two seasons.

I wish the guy who plays Ryo wouldn't speak. The girl samurai has a more threatening presence than he does.

It's probably their best option at this point, the whole corporate garbage is the worst part of the show.

They've been dressing her as more of an adult than a homeless teenager so that probably helps.

I do kinda wonder how many seasons this show will get. Taking three seasons to get its footing is crazy.

There is no way they had a full 5 seasons worth of story.

That sure is something someone would call a plan. My favorite part is the two random words that vaguely match some episodes.

I don't think the setting or characters would propel it into cult status.

Too bad they couldn't be this good a season ago, it'd probably be a lot more popular.

The show runner says he has had 5 seasons planned out from the beginning. I think you now have enough information to decide if he is full of poo poo.

Strange, guess even SYFY didn't believe they had a five year plan.

It kinda sucks cause it was finally starting to get good but really ill probably forget about the show within a month.

Oh don't worry they'll show up in the next sci-fi show. It's Canada's greatest export.

I think they should since the show probably doesn't cost them much to make.

Hell I thought it was bulletproof. Syfy doesn't really have that much going on.

I would generally side with the creators but this show took 3 seasons to get its feet. That's a little much to ask.

I mean it's a Canadian sci-fi show so they already had most of the actors from the other dead shows already.

I’m just going to assume he had no real idea where the story was going for a couple of seasons and he thought his previous success would keep it renewed cause there isn’t much else to turn to.
