Great show, great concept, well written and researched, I guess you're going to hit the odd bad guest and this was the first one in some 40 episodes that didn't go down well, and that was because Jessica Knappett was a terrible bore. If she came up to you at a party, you'd make plans to leave the party. She epitomises mindless stupidity on a show that is all intelligent word play and complex humour.
No she should not have been there, she was the wrong person for this show and she wasn't smart enough to know it or raise her game to meet the demands.

What a show, and also, What a Show.
Firstly massively big points for throwing such creativity on the screen. One couldn't guess what was going to happen next and if you did guess you were probably wrong. They threw so many things at us there was no point in trying to understand it all and you just roll along for the ride.
As far as trying to imagine what things the future might deliver for us it's wonderful to have shows like this and hard working minds imagining, inventing and rendering such stuff. The Star trek of our time, we can look forward to the next smartphone realisation from this show hopefully.
The downside to so much creativity and possibly why the show got canceled is it couldn't seem to focus, to be going somewhere, to have a solid something to say. It was so scattershot it lost us and its way.
Perhaps that was going to be bought together in a third season, but they lost the ball and we won't get to see that happen, if it ever was going to.
A confusing watch but you have to admire the style and energy with which it was delivered.

Ugh!!! The level this show works at is mind numbing. There's a bunch of half thought ideas mashed into a template that simply doesn't work.
"Hey Let's have the alien who is quite clearly a man in a costume rip a room full of people into chunks of meat".
Cool, let's do that.
"Hey let's have a spacecraft crash into a building. But the spacecraft will land beautifully intact and nothing will be damaged, except for a continuous stream of sparks coming from nowhere and a bunch of small fires bubbling in the background, cos that looks cool".
Cool, let's do that.
"Hey let's have a character do the Amélie hair cut and for no reason have a samurai sword strapped to her back".
Cool, Let's do that.
It makes no sense except on a children's cartoon level and the direction is obviously style over substance but there isn't much style to it either.
It's just distressingly flawed on so many levels.
