OK. I just saw the double "first" episode of the 4th season. And it was a snooze fest, despite the fact that, in terms of plot progression, so much happened.
The main problem is ...pace. (pun intended for Lee Pace/Joe who is now a shadow of himself) but also for the narration and the rhythm of the show, which now lacks punch and inspiration.
Joe and his pals, in this episode they pretty much invented, PCs, the ...Internet, the ...web browsers, the ISPs flat rate and the search engines all at once! Not to mention ...affordable GPS ! Yet in this double episode nothing really happens in terms of action and viewer's interest.
The second part/episode is pretty much a loooong phone call between Cameron and Joe, which makes obvious that the chemistry between the 2 characters is long gone.
Honestly I don't know what to expect of the next episode. I watched 90 minutes of this and I don't actually remember anything. The interest is what? If the company of Joe and Gordon will succeed? The fast forward of time in such abrupt fashion ruined any shred of interest for that. Will Joe and Cameron be together again? With such lukewarm dynamic I don't really care.
HACF used to be a very interesting show, and episodes like the one at COMDEX (S01E09) were magnificent. Now is boring as hell. Maybe they need to rename it in something like ...Yawn and Catch Sleep.
