This turkey reminds me of _Lost_ or _X Files_ or some kaka like that. Completely pointless, with all kindsa side tracks going nowhere and hints at Something Larger that never materializes. The Ex Machina of "the hole" is a plot device which is more irritatiing than stimulating, and the oily scientist trying to get at the "mineral" is a silly side character distraction. I simply don't have the patience to sit through another episode of junk like this, much less an entire season.
The attempts at artsy-fartsiness fall short. Goofus camera angles, music that confuses rather than accentuates, interlaced stories that are somehow supposed to relate but never really do except at the shallowest of levels, yada yada yada. This is just poor storytelling.
There is a reason I hate time travel stories. The stupid unresolved paradoxes always leave me cold.
