This episode felt a bit off. I get why Joe is down, but to actually ruin the shipment for it? That seemed over the top, even for him. I mean, he was the one focused on getting the computer out at the show, even if it meant cutting out the 'cool' UI. So he saw the benefit of making something game changing when he saw the Mac, I still don't think he would have completely gone nutty. Course part of it is probably losing Cameron but still, felt like too much of a change in his character. Yeah I get he's always been big thinker guy, but he's also been the guy who has done whatever it takes to help the project or get it done. Taking a meaningless action against it at the end just felt weird.

And the whole episode felt disjointed.

That said, even if it was the weakest episode of the season, I still feel the show is great, and am looking forward to the finale.

Ya, that was the finale.

Not as good as I was hoping but am very intrigued to see what happens next.

Just caught the finale. I agree it seemed very disjointed and overall I'm a little disappointed. The last 4 episodes were pretty solid, and then they finished it with a thud.

I guess we'll see if there is a season 2.

I just finished up Season 2 and I really enjoyed it. It's as good as the first.

Considering how far I had to bump this thread I have a feeling not many people watched it. Hopefully with get a third season.

Season two was great, and the last two episodes were fantastic. Totally forgot there was a thread though.

I think it's picking up viewers, even if talk around here has decreased.

Still watching. I was on board first episode of season 1. Love the show. Haven't seen the last two episodes yet. Got them on the DRV and just waiting for a good time to watch them since my wife is not interested in the show at all.

I was ready to drop it after the first season, but then I read a bunch of reviews praising the changes made for season 2. I thought that season 2 was vastly superior to season 1.

Frikkin show is great! Wish it was a longer season, but they did this with Walking Dead too. Hopefully the increase the number of episodes soon.

Watching Humans now. Pretty good so far.

Why do wives hate good television? Character driven, well written television. So many guys here have trouble getting their mates in this show, GoT, Walking Dead (to be honest, I'm on the fence about WD) etc.

I thought women were supposed to be the artistic ones. But they want reality shows. Or CW dramas. There used to be an argument that TV was pandering to males, but I don't know how you can argue that anymore. Women like there shows. But they are the reality and talk shows. Companies know what women want.

Ratings are really bad:

http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/ha...ratings-37011/

AMC renewed Turn for a third season but even that had 40% higher 18-49 viewership over the season and was trending upwards.

Ohhhhhh noooooo!

Probably my second favorite show this year. Maybe third.

Hannibal has been crushing it this season (and much of season two). GoT actually took a step back for me for the first time ever. I'd put Halt neck and neck with it this year.

The show is simply too nerdy for her. She isn't into computers at all so the actual content of the show just does nothing for her.

I've watched the first three episodes of season 1, and am not really into it yet. There's not a single character that I care for, or am rooting for:

I find Cameron to be constantly angsty, with no other notes, and Gordon to be similarly pouty.

And Joe. . . . I would love nothing more than to see all of his schemes implode spectacularly, and for a whole herd of elephants to knock him over and parade, one by one, over his balls. I can't remember another main character in a show that has triggered such a strong, visceral hatred in me.

Do their characters turn around, become more fleshed out, or evolve in some way that makes the rest of the show significantly different? Or is it a situation where, if I'm not hooked now, I never will be?

All of the characters have significant change through the 2 seasons. Just Kerry Bishe is enough to keep me interested.

The third and probably final season of the show is starting this Sunday. You can watch the first episode online right now: http://www.amc.com/shows/halt-and-ca...hearts-delight

This is show is great and doesn't really get the recognition it deserves.

The finale happened this week. This season was great. There was a bunch of time-jumps to progress the story and keep up with the technology changes of the time.

The series could end at this point and I'd be happy.
