CBS’s Extant was justly cut down in the prime of its measly existence. ADTV’s Joey Moser pays his lack of respects.

Extant: Feeding Frenzy
Last week, CBS “treated” us to a 2 hour Extant special. It was so special that they felt the need to pull a double feature on us again this week. Yay? I expressed my desire to see this freshman season come to a close, but it appears it just keeps going and going. At the …
Extant: Not Without My (Alien) Baby!
There are two, count ‘em TWO, episodes of Extant this week, so let’s get down to brass tacks, shall we? Molly plans on getting in Sparks’ face. She sends Sam on a mission to go through the Aruna crew’s medical files to see if there are any anomalies. “I want to see him sweat,” she …
Extant: Sleep Perchance to Scream
‘Nightmares’ is the title of this week’s episode of Extant for 2 reasons. Ethan wakes up screaming at the very top of the episode, and John is concerned since Ethan isn’t programmed to dream at all. The baby that was extracted from Molly’s stomach last week feels like something out of a nightmare as well. …
Extant: Earth Is Awesome!

Nah, just a menacing message in childish, colorful letters. Ah, Extant. You know how to weird me out in the first few moments of each episode. This …

Extant: Secrets and Lies
You smell that? The paranoia is starting to kick in. Right when the characters start telling each other the truth, it appears something bigger is looming over all of these characters. Other questions also arise. Will Ethan fit in at his first day of school? Will Molly ever tell John that’s expecting? Will Camryn Manheim …
Extant Episode 2: I See Dead Space People
If you thought last week’s episode of CBS’ ambitious Immaculate-Conception-in-space was too much set-up, I am happy to report that this week begins the payoff. The Halle Berry-headed mystery dives right back in, and Extant gives us more to mull over.
