A.D: The Bible Continues - NBC

[Superman Earth1]

This was a fantastic episode. I really loved Saul's conversion it was well done.

 

[Human Torch]

Yeah, real high marks for Paul's conversion. It was very much what I hoped it would be. Paul's baptism was probably the highlight for me.

Peter & Simon's confrontation was handled very well. I never inferred Simon was about to be struck dead in the biblical account,though.

I have to admit,the guy playing Barnabas doesn't really strike me as what I expected him to look like in the bible. I'd actually have traded roles between he and Ananias.

The Roman/Mary Magdalene subplot continues to leave me cold. I really hope they eventually edit the show down to a 3 hr movie that focuses on the Apostles/Paul.I'd love to see that.

 

[Human Torch]

I also wanted to applaud the show for their depiction of miracles/healings. This is the way it's done. Not that naturalistic crap they try to push in other shows/films. When you see the Power of God at work there's no two ways about it.

It seems like there are not many of us following the show. I guess it doesn't have the appeal of a genocidal Noah or a brain damaged Moses to garner interest.

Here are some more gifs I made

 

[ShadowBoxer]

Yea this show is awesome! Any word on when the show will hit Blu Ray/ DVD?

 

[Human Torch]

Yea it got deleted because to many non religious people saw the thread as a place to debunk religion. But the good thing is I met some solid Christians here, like yourself, Apollo, Human Torch, and Tech.

Yeah, it's a shame that happened. I don't know why people can't help but try to "debunk religion". But I thought we did good a job showing bible based answers to their objections. The problem is,we're outnumbered 10 to 1 and I can't make this my life's work to continually answer ALL of people's objections.I'm sure that's true of all of us.

Yea got tiresome when people would try to debunk christian ideals in the thread. Also the science vs religion debates got old too. People that thought science automatically discredits the existence of God and his power to heal etc. Truth is christians can still accept some of the theories out there but it doesn't discredit God or the bible in our eyes, yet the non religious made it a mission to say otherwise.

He's been great. I look forward the the rest of his scenes.

Yes. That was wonderful

Yes, I really enjoy how they depict God's miracles as told in the Book of Acts.

And Yes, I am not a fan of the Noah 2014 movie or the Exodus 2014 movie. But This series is great. I wish it had more of a following here, so we can discuss it in more detail. The ratings seem pretty solid for Sunday nights. Plus all the people who watch it on demand like I do. I miss Sunday night airings sometimes, so I watch it on Comcast the next day. I hope the ratings though are enough for them to start season 2 which I read they wanted to do

I searched Amazon.com, but I couldn't find anything but the option to buy individual episodes. They also have a paperback/hardcover book, hehe. But I am guessing the Blu-ray/Dvd should be out by July or August. t:

Edit: I found this on WalMart

Apparently It won't be released on Blu-ray until December 22nd 2015. So that's a lot later than I thought.

Yea I didn't like the 2014 Noah movie because it added to many things to cater to the non religious crowd. I heard the same was true with the 2014 Exodus movie where the movie implies that Moses talking to God was all in his mind and the plagues were just acts of nature and nothing more.

I wouldn't waste my time. Both movies did not justice to the accounts given in the bible. Noah having rock monsters help him was a crying shame and to have his sons marry their brothers baby twins was wrong also. When according to the bible Noah's son's were grown and married by the time of the flood.

Exodus was just down right disrespectful. First off they had Mosses fighting the battles and not God and made all the plagues look like an act of nature and had God as a child. But it is expected because as polls are showing we (the United States) are becoming more and more a nation that doesn't believe in religion which is truly sad.

Yea I walked out of the theater really disappointed in Noah but the bright side is that the movie got more people to open up the bible and read Noah's story. I haven't seen Exodus for the reasons you mentioned. I agree it's sad that here in the U.S people are moving away from God. The world needs more light in the world instead of darkness. For example, this "game" that is going around on social media about summoning a Mexican demon called Charlie or whatever. I never mess around with crap like that because demons and evil spirits are very real. But it shocks me that people accept supernatural stuff like ghosts, demons, evil spirits but the exist of God is to absurd for them. I am like really?? I feel like we are drawing closer and closer to the day when Christ returns.

I feel the same way you do. However I think people are more open to spirits and demons and ghost and etc because they hate to acknowledge the fact that they have someone they will have to answer to for all their sins and want to feel like they're in control of everything.

Exactly. Also, people feel as though science as disproved the existence of God and that simply isn't the case.

 

[Apollo]

I got to see Noah for free.. but I went an paid for Exodus..

BTW the Ratings between the top 4 channcels )Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS) for A.D seem pretty good. But I don't think this includes DVR/on demand.

It came in fifth place out of 13 shows from 7 Pm to 10 PM on Sunday night
1. Nascar - 6.09 million
2. 60 minutes - 6.10 million
3. Battle Creek - 4.58 million
4. Dateline NBC - 4.37 million
5. A.D: The Bible - 4.30 million

and it came in first place at 9 Pm
1. A.D: The Bible - 4.30 million
2. Madam secretary - 3.64 million
3. Fresh off the boat - 1.82 million

I wonder if the ratings will be good enough for NBC to start season 2. I guess they also have to take into account production costs as well as ratings.

New clip from Episode 9: Saul asks Peter for forgiveness - Airs May 31st

[ShadowBoxer]

I have this weeks episode on my DVR list because I will be picking up a family member from the airport when the latest episode airs. Sadly, its down to just a few us who watch this show and are religious here on the hype Apollo. Hopefully, the tread will be around next season for us to discuss the show.

 

[Apollo]

I might miss it again tonight too.. Thankfully I got Comcast on Demand! They usually put the episode up in the TV section right after it airs.

 

[Superman Earth1]

You guys missed a good episode then. I like what they have done between Peter and Paul. The only thing I am not liking on the show is Mary. I really don't see the purpose of her when there is really so much more to cover and focus on.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I need to watch last night's episode. Is the one last night the season finale?

 

[Apollo]

Yes. I always need to catch it on Comcast on demand since I am usually busy on Sunday nights.. So I will be watching it later tonight.

and no it's not the last episode there is still a couple more. It goes to 12 episodes.

 

[Superman Earth1]

I'm wondering if next season will premiere around Easter time as well.

 

[Apollo]

^ Yeah I am hoping we get a second season too. It seems like the ratings are good enough. But it also depends of production costs. If it costs too much there may not be one even if there are good ratings. But I am hoping for one.

Personally I would prefer the show goes back to the history channel or comes to Netflix. However NBC allows more people to see it.
