Just got the season 1 box set, and am about to start watching. I heard good things and I got it super cheap. I know it's a couple of years old, but I don't really watch telly, so it's new to me.

Anyway - anybody seen this show? I remember the horror/scifi/western movie from my childhood and I liked it a lot.

I remember the movie and I've heard some good things about this series but I've never seen it.

I really liked the 1st season, but then I thought it went a little over the top in the 2nd season. By the end of the 2nd season, it had me thinking whether I care to check out the 3rd season, when it debuts.

I've watched 3 episodes now, but I'm still not sure what this show is about. We know what that place is, but what's the story here.

It will start making sense by the 2nd half of the 1st season.

Glad to hear it. I just finished watching episode 5, and this one and the last one had some dramatic character moments. Like the man in black sharing a whiskey with Ford. There's some nice scenes, but I'm still not sure where it's going, but I'll try and enjoy the ride.

It's an odd show. The setup is odd, but the characters are grounded, and I'm still waiting for the catch. The reason why all this story is worth telling. It can't just all be eye candy. And I'm not just talking about the boobs and vaginas. The photography is impressive. I love that western scenery.

I watched episode 7 and finally there's some JJ Abrams style plot twists. The first really good episode.
