My sci-fi club went and saw it Saturday June 3rd. It was okay, not great but okay. The action and special effects were great but the plot was weak. The script or plot just never lived up to the concept (hype?) of the threat of a cure. The film glossed or sped over the decision of some

Why is that? I posted a negative initial review, based on maybe viewing one or two shows. I guess I had the gut-level reaction/thought that it was another show with Black characters who'd be second-fiddle to the white folk. But some people such as Tracey said it was actually good, well-written,

Whooa!!! I NEVER Said it was good. at least i can't see myself saying that. I said that the black roles were not secondary. The black guy is a lead and some of the shows have been around Baily the Black female, whose character I hated as a black female stereotype, but now has grown on me.

So it's entirely possible the Apocalypse has already come and gone. Indeed, Christians have declared several major events in history the End Times more than once. While a Christian, I do concede that much of what's taken as, well, gospel is open to interpretation. The KJ Bible, was, after all,
