There better be another season already planned and approved for this because
if not, the way they ended it was ridiculous. No resolution to the story
whatsoever.

It's a decent enough sci-fi mystery show but it turned out to be absolutely
nothing like Robert McCammon's book STINGER, upon which it is allegedly based.
I mean, we're talking LAWNMOWER MAN-level departure from the book's storyline.
And it's all the more puzzling in this case because McCammon is one of the
producers of the show. You'd think with his involvement, they'd have made a
show about the actual story in the book. Too bad, because I think a show based
on the book would have been kick-ass.

Have not got to this show yet but did finish up this season of FROM
where in the strangeness goes on but much like I expected. I had a
discussion with a friend of mine last week and we came to a few
conclusions on what we thought was going on and sure enough it turned
out as expected.

The search for Fatima goes on but now with Boyd and group trying to
force the young black guy from the bus to tell them where she is.
Turning to torture to get the answer but Boyd doesn't go far enough so
Sarah takes over gets the answer for an eye.  So they rush off to get
Fatima to find that she's already delivered the not-a-baby. Turns out
it was a monster (which is what we speculated) but not just any
monster.. It's the one that Boyd killed.

Also Jade and Fatima figure out what the numbers mean. It turns out
they were a musical code that forms a song which Jade performs out at
the bottle tree. That song brings forth the strange kids and leads to
a new revelation (which we had thought might be the case) that Tabitha
was a reincarnated version of Vincent's mom. Only it turns that Jade
and Tabitha have been reincarnated many times to end up back in the
FROM place to try and free the kids.

Oh and Julie figures out that she is time traveling when she enters
the ruins and apparently does it again in the future. After getting a
bad hair cut and apparently causing a really bad end to the story and
the season.

What did you watch?
