Most of Cameron's plots have never been all that complex (Robots from the future! Underwater aliens!), but his execution of those ideas is usually awesome. After combing through some of the extended trailer stuff and a few pre-screening opinions I'm moving up to "cautiously optimistic."
I've seen the complaint about "sneaking an entire army across the globe" a few times, and while it's not the most plausible thing ever, it's not as ridiculous as some people may think. During the course of the invasion levels you see that the entire initial attack seems to have been...
Yeah, a Soldier could use the sniper rifles all he wants, but he'll never be as good as a very adept Hunter with them. He can still kick a ton of ass with them though, his upper limit of performance with them is just lower than it is with a Hunter (due to all the skill points a hunter can dump...

I'll throw my two cents into the ring and say that the second episode (Air: Part 3) really impressed the hell out of me. John Scalzi is one of my favorite authors, and he's the creative consultant on Stargate Universe, and I see his fingerprints all over this show.
I was not really a fan of...
I've been kind of wondering if JJ Abrams read Anathem at some point and created Fringe as a way to mash up some of the ideas from that and a successor to the X-files. There are enough literary nods here and there to the work of Poe, Lovecraft, Philip K Dick, and Ray Bradbury (amongst others) to...
