I think I just find the world they've set up to be jarring and inconsistent. I don't mind being derivative, certainly not of genre tropes in a genre show, but they've got to help the viewers a bit. If you want to make a campy sci-fi/horror show, then do it. If you want a scary, serious thriller, then do that. There is no sense of humour in this show as far as I can tell, unless the cow thing was meant to be funny.
Kerm OTM, but at least Whedon seemed to have a sense of humour. He would willingly acknowledge from the get-go that the Hellmouth and Willow's hacking abilities was just an easy out for the writers, who were more interested in character anyway. I was hoping for a quality X-files deal, and I'll take a campy paranoid fantasy in its stead, but I can't be bothered with some inconsistent series aiming for somewhere in the middle, especially when it's as dull as this one.
like would it reset back to the time he was in the machine - which i don't think would happen because it would make everything that's going on right now moot - or would they just suddenly start remembering him again? Feel like they're getting into dangerous territory with this whole "he never existed" thing.
I'm not one for "I've seen this done elsewhere", nor do I think calling back upon Wild Wild West is anyway anyone can consider themselves hot shit. The point is really that a writer (or writers) should do well enough for someone not to notice. The eye thing has been done many, many times before, and it is usually a pretty cheap trick when someone's written themselves into a hole/can't be bothered to come up with something better. And the Aliens gag was weak.

Newgod
Newgod is offline
Bring on the hell I will still say bring on some More
You have no damn idea how many people like you I have Tore
And it was bloody messy and with unimaginable Gore
You will make a fine adition in my victims Galore
I am new god you are just a weak pig iron Ore
Fighting me is not like a walk on the Shore
And it will be annihilation when I walk in from that Door
People will dig their own graves in the god dawn Floor
All your bullshit and abilities are useless and I get Bore
Calculate the odds in a war between dark dragon and a wild Boar
You have no damn idea what I have got in my Store
Live your life with honor and pride rather than living like an attention W.h.o.r.e
I am the champion like john cena that’s C.E.N.A
I don’t participate in a parade meant for the Gay
You are just a small candle flame man I am a laser Ray
I don’t play with pussycat dolls I am not here to Play
But you should, you should go back home tonight and Pray
That you never cross my line, get my attention and become my Prey
Because I will instantly turn to you black blue and Grey
Leave you down the road lying cold and Stray
Or just send you back home in the back of a box wagons Tray
One of my favorite songs How to save a life- from the Fray
My birthday is in June that’s comes after the month of May
Mess with me and it will be huge price you will have to Pay
I am evil, I can turn into forever night the brightest of the Day
Its more true than gods word what ever I ever Say
And prepare for the worst time of your life because I am here to Stay
I am a super demolition unit you are just a weak stack of Hay
Annihilation it will be when I start dropping bombs from my bombs Bay
You cant win from me friend because there is simply just no Way
Newgod won you lost just like that now scream Hurray
There are people in the world who are fools who think I am Eight
Well they are the ones who is wasting time in this world like dead Weight
But here is the truth and mind you I am saying this dead Straight
That you have no idea how many people like you I have Ate
And you think you can change me now well no its too Late
I will drag you to hell with me from my hell’s Gate
I don’t believe in good, bad, boon, curse, karma or Fate
You think you can win from me sorry you are wrong Mate
Anger, evil, destruction are child splay for me my fuel is Hate
I will erase you out of this world, wipe you clean like a clean Plate
The day you mess with me will be your last so remember that Date
Newgod , I am a living god you are just a dumb damn Surrogate
I don’t care what you damn think about me or Blame
Hate makes me stronger so just keep on bringing the Flame
And you think that will work on me such fools you are such a Shame
Women wealth wine was just never my Aim
Nor I do anything anywhere to get any kind of Fame
I am born perfect so I never had to make any false Claim
Now its mine time to rule and this place never gonna be the Same
Because the god himself is here the god who created this Game
And you are just civilized breat get ready to get Tame
Newgod I am, everyone in the world knows that’s my Name
I wont leave untill i am banned from this place that my friends is just absolutely sure, rest its on to your mods, if they ban me nice and easy then its good or i will hav to do some things her which are not in accordance with forum laws but then its them who force me to do this i mean why cant they ban me now its not a big deal
