Huuuge deep dive on the show and awesome nostalgia fest for lovers of this (probably underrated) show!

Yea, it was about the characters not the sci fi. The appeal for those who like the show was watching Walter be Walter and piecing together where he was coming from and what ~~part~~ past was behind his behaviours.

Not for every one. But the bit you disliked is I think the quirky charm that attracts others.

I really didn't like how they disrespected Walter most of the time. If you weren't interested in his opinions, why do you ask him?

It just got super tiresome super quickly. I never finished the first season.

It gets much better starting in Season 2. I had the same experience as you during season 1 and just watched episodes I caught randomly. Season 2+ had me watching everything.

Totally agree. When I rewatch the show I often cherrypick a few episodes from the first season and go into Season 2.
