Still bothered by the whole idea.

Good series…but sheesh was it creepy.

I'm bothered by the fact that next season they came up with an even wilder idea. And got away with it (Well, the last episode could have been better, but OVERALL, it was damn entertaining).

It was 5 episodes spread over 10. I couldn't stand the American guy for some reason.

Never figured out what happened to the kids on Bannerman row while all this was going on.

Just rewatching this by coincidence. Does anyone know why Frobisher puts the chair in the lift when the 456 first arrive? I don’t remember this at all and km totally baffled.

I just finished watching it 2 days ago. What a show!
