Review of Extant

Extant (2014–2015)
7/10
How Extant became Extinct in Two Seasons
20 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Starting out wonderful in Season 1. Gorgeous Halle Berry having mutant "mirage" sex in lonely outer space! Terrible (first season) ending though, as the boy bursts out of his dead body then hitchhikes out into the sunset like an alien "Fugitive". Season 2 started off with "alien boy" grown into his hormonal 20's and having sex and babies with every hot chick at the "Swingers Club". Then they killed off husband John? How could they? The two part mid-season (2015) "special" was too long and very predictable, although it did tie up a lot of loose ends. Now we had an "evil" and a "saintly" Hybrid leader. Why did only some of them regenerate? It had been "leaked" that "Ethan" died in episode 9. So what? Just heat up a new unit! Molly died in Episode 8? Another fake "cliffhanger". Of course "Catwoman" has 9 lives and came back as a full-blooded "Extant". I liked the "PI" character. He's was lot like Chris Kristopherson. I wished they had a good finish for Season 2. I predicted that her "alien son" returned although he seems quite dead, at the moment. Were they setting him up as the next Intergalactic "Jesus"? (Didn't happen.) "Lucy" sure was a great evil Humanic, however. They "mucked" it up like previous bombs like: "The Gates", "Invasion" and "Resurrection". All those shows had stupid and terrible endings, didn't they? Halle Berry deserved better! Addendum: Well, they turned it into another TV disaster in Season 2. The aliens became "good" and peaceful after all the carnage that "happened" between Humans, "Extants", and "Humanics" is just forgotten and forgiven? Sure, the aliens became good little "E.T's" and now everybody applauded them? Give me a break! No where to go with this plot line. "Alien Nation" has already been done. Well, At least little Ethan got jump-started with new programming and better batteries. A new Humanic race? Not gonna happen with an eerie computer-hybrid, left over from old "Battlestar Galactica", that frequents "Starbucks"! CBS pulled the plug just in time, don't ya' think?
