Storyline

- TriviaIn 1839, Ralph Waldo Emerson was credited with making the first known usage of the phrase "Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree" in the United States. However, an old German proverb inspired him, and its English translation would be, "As men say, the apple never falls far from the stem." Emerson's phrase is used to describe how children tend to inherit the characteristics of their parents. This saying usually points out the similarities between a parent and child, whether physical or personality traits. For example, if a child has the same eye color as their parent, it might be said that "the apple didn't fall far from the tree." So when Sam Velez tells Lucas Hayes a changed version as "sometimes, the apple does fall far from the tree", he is actually trying to assure Lucas that Lucas will have different personality traits than his criminal father, so there is hope for Lucas to live a meaningful life with Veronica.
- GoofsWhen Eve and Izzy are to go back 4 hours in time to warn Gavin about the danger in the cave, others want to use the portal to take them back home while Eve and Izzy were gone, but James tell them that portal cannot change space/ time location while someone has gone through it, otherwise they will not be able to return, thus everybody decided to wait for Eve and Izzy to return. Well, one Eve and Izzy have indeed gone back in time and had successfully warned Gavin and then Gavin could make himself and all other safe from cave reptile, then the time line would have changed, and Eve and Izzy would then not require to go back in time to warn Gavin of anything, thus the duo would not have been required to come back through the portal. The entire time line of Gavin getting hurt by the cave reptile would have been erased, and Eve and Izzy would have come with others in the normal single flow of time line. Thus, James needn't have kept the portal open to wait for Eve and Izzy's return through it. He could have immediately switched its time/ space location to start sending others to home.

Season Two Review
I watched the first season of "La Brea" mostly because someone else in my household wanted to, I thought it looked terrible and was proved to be correct. But, my stupid brain won't allow me to give up on something even if I know that it's both awful and keeping me away from watching something potentially good. So here we are with me having bitterly sat through a second season.
Normally I try and sum up the plot in this second paragraph, but it's all so silly and motivations change constantly so I'm not sure I can. Suffice it to say that the people that managed to get out of 10,000 BC end up coming back, various animals threaten the camp and then virtually every character tries to go to the tower, except for the ones that are never told that it exists. A thousand new portals are created, even though the first season had a plot point that each one was damaging the Earth.
It's really terrible. There's no two ways about it. The performances are bad from all involved but particularly from the Harris family, who remain disappointingly central to the plot. It still doesn't do any of the basics that you'd expect from a show like this - they've not found a way to establish any way of demonstrating time passing and the distance between places remains governed by the plot requirement. The CGI is generally pretty bad. The plot points sometimes don't even last an episode, let alone across the run and way more than just the idea that the portals are having a devastating effect on Earth is abandoned for the next shiny plot point.
It all has no consequence because it doesn't feel real. By which I mean not that I can't parse the high concept of it, but more that nobody seems to be struggling with the lack of running water for example, or getting enough to eat, or really anything, other than the occasional wild animal.
It's bad, if that's not come across in what I've written so far, and I'm both outraged that they get to keep making it, and happy that greenlighting a season of just six episodes has to mean that the show ends then...surely... please!
