Almost Human

Last night was a good episode I felt. I really like this world they've developed so far.

Real question. Shouldn't we already have DNA bombs? If not, aren't we like within a few years minimum?

So maybe I missed it, but what is over the wall? Also Gina Carano ftw this week.

Supposedly Fox has been airing episodes out of order since the pilot. Apparently this one was supposed to be earlier in the season.

Well that's weird. I was wondering why you would wait so long to introduce that to the show.

They are now getting called out on it. I am shocked that Fox would do this. Someone on another site said they did the same thing with the now "cult classic" sci-fi show Firefly and is considered one of the reasons it lost ratings and got cancelled.

Fox Is Airing Episodes of ALMOST HUMAN Out of Order?!

Fox Is Airing Episodes of ALMOST HUMAN Out of Order?!

I've been on pins and needles week to week waiting on news that Almost Human, my new favorite sci-fi show, will be safe for a second season. The show, which has its flaws, has won a top spot in my heart due mainly to its setting and the awesome dynamic between Michael Ealy and Karl Urban. A couple months back I wrote an article talking about how much better the show would be if it had further pursued the long term story set up in the pilot episode from the get go as opposed to disregarding it and having "filler" episodes. Recently the show has revisited the original plot and things have gotten really good, but now I'm reading that this wasn't an issue with the show, BUT WITH FOX REARRANGING EPISODES.

Now, I know it happens occasionally that networks switch episodes around to tease viewers or to accommodate schedule changes, but these changes are insane. Below, check out the order that the episodes aired paired with their true episode numbers to the right in parenthesis.

1 Pilot (1)
2 Skin (5)
3 Are you Receiving?(6)
4 The Bends (7)
5 Blood Brothers (8)
6 Arrhythmia (3)
7 Simon Says (10)
8 You Are Here (2)
9 Unbound (9)
10 Perception (4)
11 Disrupt (11)
12 Beholder (12)
13 Straw Man (13)

This explains why there are inconsistencies with John Kennex's urgency to discover the truth of what happened in the pilot and almost seeming nonchalant on the issue almost immediately after. Showrunner J.J. Wyman came out and said that this rearranging wouldn't be an issue for the first seven episodes, but it clearly has had an impact on the quality of the show as the rearranging is happening at a far too excessive rate. It's stupid, and as fans of the show will notice, the show would've flowed much better if they had been aired in the originally intended order. Now the show is in limbo and there is no certainty that we will get another season of this great show! Thanks to Reddit for bringing this to my attention!

I watched the first two or three episodes and then lost interest this might explain why it didn't make a lot of sense to me.

For what it's worth I didn't notice it too much until they did the episode with the whole "wall" thing and everybody was like, what? It's a police procedural so in theory the order the episodes are played in wouldn't matter much as long as the audience didn't miss some sort of main character development.

As expected!!

Fox Drama ‘Almost Human’ Cancelled

Fox Drama ‘Almost Human’ Cancelled

EXCLUSIVE: I have learned that Fox has opted not to pick up a second season of Almost Human. The futuristic drama starring Karl Urban and Michael Ealy got off to a sluggish start in November but held enough ground to at least earn renewal consideration, often finishing on par with its Monday companion (the already-renewed drama The Following). In fact, the March season (and series) finale of Almost Human logged a 1.5 rating in 18-49, matching the Live+Same Day rating for last night’s finale of The Following. (The Following is a bigger DVR draw). Almost Human‘s chances started to slip once Fox’s drama pilots started to come in. All three of them — Gotham, The Red Band Society and Empire – are considered strong contenders for a series pickup. That didn’t bode well for Almost Human. Also, it is produced by an outside studio, Warner Bros TV, which also has The Following and the sure-to-be-picked-up Batman prequel Gotham. Almost Human, about a cop (Urban) paired with a lifelike combat-model android (Ealy), comes from the Fringe team of JJ Abrams and J.H. Wyman. Elsewhere in Fox bubble land, the renewal chances for Seth MacFarlane-produced freshman comedy Dads appear to have gone up in the past few days.
