[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to love it - I really did. But it's a mess. It's like Misfits (UK) meets X-Men but with the worse parts of both.

No team unity, everyone getting in everyone else's way. Barely any high level powers (the kind you need CGI for) and there were at least 3 subplots that weakly tied together into the main plot and were just useless.[/quote]

The whole no one has a strong powers and no team unity is pretty key to the plot.  And actually made it more interesting.  All the subplots were explaining why they had all grown apart and how they got to where they were.  [i]I cannot think of any subplot that did not help explain something or was not tied to the main story.[b] Unless you only watched a few episodes.  That would explain why it seemed this way.  It is a show for the patient.  I do not mind when writers take  awhile to tell a story.  [/quote]

Useless (long running) sub-plots -

Hazel and Cha-cha
Hazel and Donut Lady
Allison and her daughter
Diego and murder mystery mom

I also think a lot of the arguements and rejection of the musician was overblown.

I like TUA - I just wanted more action like the bank scene or the house fight. [/quote]
