NO. WHAT. NO.

DID HE JUST COUNT THE RIBS ON THE HUMAN SKELETON AND ANNOUNCE "NO, IT'S A MAN"?

*SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM*

I was told it was terrible but I thought that mostly meant the CGI!

He's meant to be an evolutionary biologist. In a show with dinosaurs.

Um um let's benefit of the doubt that he was looking at some other sign than ribcount? Or that it was a bit of idiot actor business. (Script: He checks the bones for signs that it is a woman. Actor: I will count ribs!) It's usually terrible but not that terrible.

[grey_bard]

No, no when I said cheesy and terrible, it was mostly not the CGI. It is like... 60's Batman, especially the first season - it only makes sense if the entire world is apparently 50 IQ points dumber, making our heroes brilliant by those standards. Except Helen, she is magically non-idiotic.

[jmtorres]

Well I am up to 201 and without even drinking. Though I am beginning to suspect drink might make it more entertaining--you know, drop 50 pts off the audience IQ, level the playing field.

Is it just me or did the Nick/Helen/Stephen thing read kind of queer?

[grey_bard]

Yes, yes it did. I suspect Helen would have been totally okay with them as her also sleeping with each other man-harem.

But no, seriously, Nick was fairly ready to move on from her, but to find out STEPHEN was possibly sleeping with her... It was not Helen he was upset about, that is pretty clear.

[jmtorres]

I am also slightly hilarified that the sequence went:

Helen: *drops cheating bombshell*
Claudia: *has apparently vanished from existence*
Nick: *is forced to talk about his feelings. WITH STEPHEN*

[niqaeli]

I can't even engage that, what the fuck.
