I argued with Nik once... once.
I don't want this to come off as dick-ish. Maybe I'm having a nikvoodoo moment but here goes.
I hate these "I'm disappointed" threads. I respect you have those feelings, and it's okay to express them. But I can't understand why ANYONE would be "disappointed". The show's quality has not dropped. Maybe the direction of the story is not what you expected, but regardless the quality HAS NOT DROPPED. There is NO other show like We're Alive. I know. I've looked. Because of that fact, I can NEVER be disappointed in this show. Even at its lowest, most boring moments (which this season has been anything but. In comparison, Season 2 at the beginning was much slower), I can never fault this show. It's Free, I enjoy it at the expense of others free time. The acting, direction, etc... is still amazing.
Until you can give me a show that has the same amount of quality direction, acting, writing, music, etc... We're Alive remains the best podcast you'll ever listen to. Regardless of if it's slow right now or not.
And quite frankly I'm shocked you're even complaining. The amount of story that KC is giving away right now is a breath of fresh air. Season 2 hardly revealed anything. Season 3 is now starting to answer our most critical questions.

well, i don't think anyone was saying the quality dropped. the general concensus here (in this particular thread) is that there is something in the writing of the show, or just the way the story is playing out that is not quite what they fell in love with in the begining. now that may be somewhat true i guess (every episode can't be a pulse pounding thriller, and the writing of every episode will not be the same across the board, that's just human nature) though i disagree. i think the show is off in a new direction that, any time now, will come full circle and the gang will be a it again. though new characters now, since the original crew has pretty much reached the end of their personal development arcs, for the most part.
I'm with others as in it's just life. There are ups and downs and this podcast is just going along like normal life. In life you don't always get a reason for why things changed or ended, they just did and you need to move on. (That bitch of a ex-girlfriend...)
I hear ya, and that's a good explanation of maybe what the OP is talking about. However, I'm still incredulous. We've been BEGGING for more information since Season 1 (those of us that started with Season 1). The community has done nothing but grow since Season 1 and now everyone is BEGGING for more information in Season 2, which KC played even closer to the chest than Season 1. However, NOW we are getting delicious morsels of information. We're reaching new people that have new information! I've never been more excited to gain more information. I can't believe others aren't excited to finally hear about some of this stuff.
Heck, we may be given an opportunity where Michael will be FORCED to explain what happened in the water works. That is perhaps the most ANNOYING secret in this whole story. Michael disappears, comes back with a broken arm and basically shrugs it off and calls it "horrific" in the same line. Then this zombie called "Randy!" shows up and we have NO CLUE who he is. This show is so addicting that it's annoying lol.
I know I am speaking up almost a month after the last post here about htis and a few episodes further along as well, but here it goes. I can understand the frustration of a very good story slowing down. But I have found this with Kc and this great story he has lured us into. When it slows down pay attention cause he is gonna fill you in on part of the story and may even add some new questions. But as always patience pays off and then we pick up great info in the story and see it take a leap into "HOLY SHIT" land. Keep it up I will take the slow and the fast paced.
