US TV: Touch

[greyzie]

yes, finally!

All the while I thought Amelia is dead kasi parang nagmumulto na lang siya kay Jake at Professor Arthur Teller yun pala buhay siya.

Mukhang Martin would have an ally in Calvin Norburg, a disgrunted Aster employee.  Naguguluhan na rin ako sa story na ito.  Parang may conspiracy theory eklavu na naman eh -- yung Aster Corporation.

At sino naman itong Lost alumni Guillermo Ortiz na Tree of Life advocate na ine-eradicate ang mga gifted souls ?  Ano ang connect niya kaya sa Aster or in the entire scheme of things.

my goodness, latest episode of touch pinaiyak ako ng todo... as in mugto ang mata ko.
reunion of lucy and amelia ilang hours lang, so sad talaga.
as a mother ganun din ang gagawin ko, haysss... mother's unconditional love talaga for her child....

[cheezecake]

to the viewers...Touch will be cancelled it did not reach the required rating only 1.5-2.5M viewers only.

[heavensent]

^i've heard, sayang I like this show pa naman

[cheezecake]

^^oo nga e, nasanay lang siguro mga viewers na si Sutherland e nasa super action TV series

[sima]

Or maybe because Touch jumped in the conspiracy theory bandwagon instead of just focusing on how our lives are interlinked with one another.  Anyway, time to look for another TV series na susubaybayan...

[greyzie]

so, so sad... i really like this show... haist. yup, i agree, they should have focused on the interlink between lives. season 1 was really good...

According to Touchpedia, the Righteous 36 are a group of 36 people, who some say are picked by God, who see the world in numbers.

Throughout the series, only 16 of the 36 have been mentioned. 7 of them are unnamed. A total of 5 are deceased.

Hay, sayang at ika-cancel na nila ang show na ito -- interesting pa naman ang premise.  I loved that they were able to explain the Amelia sequence kaya lang nahaluan na kasi ng conspiracy...

[greyzie]

^ sayang talaga but [textspeak!] nawalan na ng gana mga viewers. i really like the tone nung first season. they have different story arc per episode aside from the big arc. and very intelligent yun pag-weave ng stories nila. and i'm really curious, what happened to the two japanese cosplayers? all the while, i thought they signify something pero bigla na lang sila nawala.

[sima]

^oo nawala na lang talaga yung dalawang Japanese na yun...  I too wonder what happened to them and how they relate sa story ng buhay ng mag-ama.

[sima]

Amelia can't see numbers anymore.  Does this mean she is "normal" na?   So this is how they pull the plug.  I am very disappointed.  It's very anti-climactic for me to know na kaya lang ginagamit ng Aster Corps yung "36" ay dahil the company is in ruins, that it wants to get back on its feet and stay on top of its game.  In the first place, how did they learn who are those 36s?  Just because they cannot sleep and they get the correct answers in one single test sheet?  At paano nila nalalaman na yun ang sagot doon sa paper unless someone in Aster Corps is "gifted"?

Ang dami kong tanong hahaha -- paano nakakasurvive ang mag-ama sa Los Angeles eh walang trabaho si Martin?  Hindi ko gets ang role ni Avram maliban na lang na he informed Martin of the 36.  Sana man lang they ended it with Jake uttering a word or something heart warming ... but NO!!!!!

I guess I should be wary of Tim Kring then.  He starts off good and ends sloppy.  Creative decline talaga -- maryosep!  It's Heroes all over again.

[greyzie]

^correct me if i'm wrong.. parang loaded ata yun wife niya as explained by their big apartment in new york?
i agree! tim kring is a first-season-creator lang hahaha! nakakahinayang lang. bihira lang kasi yung shows na you feel fulfilled after each episode but you still want more. di bitin but you are looking forward pa sa mga next episodes.

[sima]

^I see.  Thanks for the info that Sarah Bohm's family is loaded.

Sayang no?  Ang ganda na sana ng first season kaso pinasukan na ng conspiracy at religious angle.  Season 2 ended flat for me.  Ang laki kasi ng shift sa plot between the two seasons.  Nawala sa season 2 yung multicultural magic ng numbers.  There are loose threads naman in season 1 like -- ano ang relevance noong dalawang Korean girls sa mga natulungan nila Jake at Martin?  They appeared in more than one number sequence so I thought they would be playing a significant role but it never happened .

Ang sabi nga ng ibang commenters -- Amelia and Jake knew way ahead that their show is only good for two pathetic seasons
