there really is no plot...just people standing around arguing?

i do enjoy this show but watching the most recent ep. (ep.9) it really hit home just how little has happened this season and how it really does seem to be the characters just standing around, talking about random things (not completely but quite often) and arguing and being b!tchy/unpleasant to each other. lol.

even on Z-NATION there's a plot, a goal, an endgame the characters are working to get to but (like Z-NATION's "Murphy's blood is the cure/salvation to the zombies" storyline) Vanessa's blood/cure plot point doesn't even really seem to be an important thing to any of the characters. IT SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO EVERY CHARACTER ON THE SHOW WHO'S NOT A VAMPIRE!! lol.

Way to confuse plot with conflict.

what's the plot/plotline?

Don't get hung up on words. He means that the story is fairly stagnant, and I agree. They shuffle around from event to event each episode but never really progress through an overarching storyline that a show like this needs.

delerium, EXACTLY! i agree w/ you 100%. it's funny because Octavius has chosen not to come back and tell me what the plot is about on this show (or more that he/she CAN'T tell me the plot since there really isn't one. lol).

Answered in another thread. It's so friggin obvious I feel like I'm pointing it out to the blind.
