Revelations: Chapter One

I love From. Always have, always will. But the past few episodes have felt like absolute filler and the character development has stopped. It's only ten episodes a season so why is our time being wasted with stupid characters, dialogue, etc. Elgin is beyond annoying, and I'm worn out with his character and there is just absolutely nothing happening to progress the show. This literally feels like LOST, the good and the bad. Only thing that I can hope is the writers are better in season 4 and set an end date for this show instead of dragging things on and doing absolutely nothing with anything. I want this show to succeed and it's just not right now.

I still wonder why this episode was titled 'revelations'? If anyone could tell me what things have been revealed in this one-hour snooze fest of nothingness, please I'd be pleased to listen to you.

The characters are gradually becoming the caricatures of themselves, I don't know what has gone wrong from the very good first season to the total mess the 3rd season is, but the dramatization, the tension and feeling of impending doom lurking at every corner have completely vanished.

Having your actors constantly screaming, running aimlessly in the woods, violently arguing and bursting into tears like fearful toddlers REALLY doesn't help! It is absolutely utterly annoying, and it has nothing to do with building TENSION or DRAMATIZATION.

This show has lost its direction, and it has become more than obvious for any acute viewer to see.

Oh, man... what's up with the rating? I know the previous episodes were straight-up fillers, but people went and rated this episode like it was a masterpiece... Once again, yes, this episode was better than the fillers we've been having, but here we are, another hour went by with something that could have been done in 30 minutes or less. I don't fancy the chances of this show reaching five seasons like they said they would. Not like this. I loved the first season; it got me hooked instantly. I thought the second season was mostly boring compared to the first season, and only the final episode gave something good. So, obviously, the start of the third season delivered something new and exciting, only to later flood the season with fillers. Now, here we are again, reaching the end of another season, and things are building up again. But if this is the plan going forward, it's not good writing. It's bad and stretched out for more episodes and seasons.

This used to be a show I was hooked on. The first two sessions were no masterpiece, but the central mystery was intriguing enough to overlook the show's obvious faults. In season 3 however, it's become a hate watch: the scripts are absolute rubbish, the dialogue is laughably repetitive, no progress is made whatsoever... and yet here I sit, sighing and groaning and swearing all the way through.

I find it's best to watch this season on two screens: have the show running on one screen and do some simple administrative chore on the other one. A glance on the "From" screen every two minutes is all you need to be able to follow it.

I like mystery shows and I love slow-burn character-driven shows... but "From" is neither of those anymore. The writers have clearly lost control of the mystery, and despite the fact they've now had 29 episodes to flesh out the characters, everyone is still as one-dimensional as in the pilot episode. (Some, like Donna, have actually lost nuance. God knows how they've managed that.) It's just a sub-par soap series now. Every moment now, Joan Collins may step out of the woods and whip the town into shape with a few haughty zingers.

Frankly, I hope this show gets cancelled. It's insulting the intelligence of the viewer. Make it stop. Deliver us from (at least) this evil. Let it die in peace.

Why why why and again WHY is there SOOOO much filler now. What happened. You guys destroyed a fantastic series. Season 3 started out pretty good but nothing is happening anymore. Five episodes of pure filler now. If you don't have any material to work with, do five episodes with something actually happening in them than ten episodes with endless going back and forth with stuff we seen one thousand times already.

One episode left in this season and we haven't gotten anywhere at all. Zero progression.

*The fatima storyline has gotten so dragged out it has to be a record of some kind. Nothing we already knew has come to light and noone cares anymore.

*Victor has spent hours of whining about remembering and it leads to nothing we already didn't know.

*Tabitha confirms the number 1 theory out there and it's not interesting either.

*Jade is the only character that DOES something productive and his progression is shown like 30 seconds each episode or something.

So sad that they chose to wreck this series so bad. It was a good show and I'm skeptical that they will renew it. They obviously have no vision where to go with the story anymore. GIVE US SOME ANSWERS!
