SO i microdosed MDMA for a long period of time. In this time I made more money playing online poker then I had ever done so before. I also without trying, streamlining my daily routine. was up early. watered the lawn, looked at the news, read everything.

Instead of texting like normal, I used Siri more to text for me,

Instead of reading economics, i used audiobooks

Has anyone else found this happen?

i really like the concept of the movie/books, i liked the film alot, although it has some big flaws, plotwise too; i skipped the show for a long time on purpose because i couldnt imagine them doing anything meaningful, anyways now having finished a bunch of other shows, and having recently rewatched the movie i decided to give the show a try. first episodes seemed both interesting and lame, the early plot was a copy of the movie/characters, it dares borrowing many elements like music and even brings in cooper, the protagonist seemed okay enough for a tv show... by the end of the episode i was in the mood of "really, they just turn this into another sherlock consultant lighthearted crime show, damn this is why i never wanted to even give it a try", then forced myself through the second episode that confirmed that fear, now i am in the middle of episode 3 and im not sure wether i really want to watch another one of these... does the bradley cooper stuff get meaningful enough soon enough? will the be an actual storyline for the main character? i mean even the role of his father was almost like the bussiness-antagonist dad guy in the movie; and his girlfriend has the same hair as the woman in the movie... its fine to borrow/mirror elements this way to get things started, but im worried that this show just wont bring anything meaningful with it, no actual plot that isnt just an excuse to keep the daily chore running. i do think one could write decent plot for this, but compared to for example the spinoff better call saul, this one seems so generic and typical to me so far.

hopefully my position is somewhat understandable. maybe someone can give an honest opinion on this.

At the end of the movie Eddie says he is off NZT, so we'll go with that premise. Well basically what I learned from him reflecting on it at the end is that essentially anything is possible. I think he learned that there are patterns and ideas that no one connects, or thinks of. It doesn't take NZT to think of them, and the ideas and connections he was making weren't a super power in themselves. What he took away that I think it important for everyone to realize is that your mind is capable of many things, you just have to learn how to use it.

In other words: It's a mode of thinking. You don't need a pill to transform your life in a matter of seconds, you just have to get in the right mode of thinking, you have to always be asking "How else can I do this" and questioning everything, always looking for another way to do it, never closing off your mind to possibilities.

In a way that's the true meaning of Limitless. It's the realization that there are limitless possibilites. When you close yourself off, and ignore ideas and never think twice, you will miss countless connections you could have made, and ideas you could have came up with. Want to experience NZT? It's simple. Walk around as though nothing is certain, and there are limitless possibilities, limitless possibilites which is why you need to find them. There's an alternate answer and way to do everything, who's going to find it?

Flowers for Algernon. Great book, kinda sad... But the book was where the movie came from.

Every time I see Bradley Cooper in the TV show, it doesn't feel like him. In the movie, he seemed brighter and more alive. The guy in this TV show seems dark, strange, off. I actually had to play the 1st episode over a few times trying to see, was it actually him? The credits list Bradley Cooper, but it might be some kind of a body double. It just doesn't look like him, sorry. In episode six, they shaved off his scroungy beard, but I felt his eyes didn't look right. Maybe the actual actor is changing in some way and is fooling my eyes.

.

Is anyone else feeling this way, besides me? I'm usually quite good with faces and know almost any actor at a glance. The fact that there is some mystery here is what is setting off my alarm bells. My gut is telling me this isn't the real Bradley Cooper.

.

Does anyone know something about this for certain? Thanks.

Hey all,

My wife was talking to a support person on the netflix live chat and the representative was pretty definitive that CBS would not be renewing Limitless, unfortunately.

The less grim news is that this person said that Netflix was generally very open to the idea of picking up existing shows. Not sure it'll help, but if y'all could show your support to Netflix for this idea (picking up Limitless) we might get them to give it some serious consideration. Here's the chat url:

Since lsd is supposed to emulate schizophrenia, there are scenes in limitless where they imply he is acting schizophrenic. Like when they are discussing the formula to the stock market the guy says "delusions of grandeur". Schizophrenia is just a state of mind that sometimes is seen to have negative effects. Look up "Flow States" or simply take some LSD and observe the similarities as nzt. It's a clear way of thinking, kinda speedy and you sometimes even feel like you can predict the future. Some may have different experiences due to their own limiting beliefs.

Nobody would ever tell you this, so it's better to just assume that I'm daydreaming.

Because yet again, there are NO FRIKKEN episodes coming!!!! Another 2 weeks off, after the last time, after the last last time, after the one time before that. When is this show ever going to keep playing week by week again? Maybe that's why it's 24 episodes... not per year, only 12 per year at this point. So that means Season 1 is only 12 episodes and Season 2 is 12 episodes, and at this rate the 24 episodes are spread across 24 months not 12. Thanks for trying to trick us into thinking we would get 24 episodes in one season like Alias and some other cool shows. For a show about geniuses, this show is becoming retarded, even the Meta portions outside the show.

Enough said.

I just have to say OMFG Rachel mind your MF business. i legit got angry after watching recent episodes like what are peoples problem its not enough to know stuff but then tell people about it INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE PERSON WHO YOU ARE FUCKING WITH. Bitch u were told in confidence not to tell people shit, then what the fuck do u do tell mommy u snitchin ass bitch u have no idea the shit storm u are causing! If u wind up dead im going to laugh cause u brought this upon yourself. fucking bitch.... ok my rant is over im done i just had to get that out

I'm not gonna lie, when I first realized this show wasn't a continuation of Bradley Cooper heading to the presidency with NZT, I was disappointed. So much potential thrown away. That's why it wasnt renewed.

Not liking that it seems every episode the NZT seems to lose more and more of its "power". I'm not talking about intentionally, it's just that the NZT seems lesser and lesser like it was portrayed in the movie. I don't think it should become superhuman-like, otherwise it would turn in to "NZT Ex-Machina". I dislike however, that Brian spends so much screen time on NZT. Because he is on NZT majority of the time, it's starting to be portrayed as cartoonish, I can't think of the word, but comical in a sense. Like, he will take the NZT and I will be expecting him to make some connection, or figure out something while on it that isn't expected, because he's basically supposedly 10 steps ahead of everyone else. More and more though, he's doing lesser and lesser impressive things while on it. The first episode where he was in the FBI, like the first time he was trying to solve a crime, he took one NZT pill and did 50 things that no one else could do, and was visualizing 100x100 tables of variabilities in the crime case, when there was nothing but thin air in front of him. On last episode he took one, and all he did was point out that there was less deer the day after, and connected that meant the suspect must be close. I could have done that. It was very unimpressive given how hyped up and spectacular the effects of NZT are portrayed in general. The fact that later on, he also told the guy next to him "It's amazing" was kind of funny for me, because of how little he did while on it in comparison.

Sorry for rambling. Don't get me wrong, I liked the last episode, and the show in general. Just in my opinion, it feels as though the writers are running out of ideas for impressive things that Brian does on NZT that we've come to know, it's what we expect, him to do something that he couldnt possibly do without NZT. I mean in the first episode after just one dose of NZT alone he was able to calculate to the inch where a train in front of his face would stop while standing on a train track in only like 10 seconds total while running from the police.

What we got from the movie, is that the entire point of NZT was that if Eddie could just get that next pill, he could figure out a way around whatever was conflicting him. That's why when he was in withdrawal, without any pills, and being hunted by some gang with guns made it so intense of a scene. Because we knew that if he could just get a little bit of NZT, he could make it out somehow.

We just don't see that same "importance" of NZT throughout the show. It seems to be losing its "limitlessness" every episode, which is not a huge problem now, but if continued by the end of the season, that unique supernatural attribute will be lost, which is the only thing it has going for it at the moment. The story is nothing great without the variable of NZT in the equation.

From Season 1, Episode 7 of limitless. The Introduction was a complete homage to the Ferris Bueller film and here's a comparison of what they got right and how precise they were in the making of it.

so in the end of this whole shebang, I really would love if it would do the whole tropey "moral of the story" ending where "NZT isn't real its just a placebo effect, the power was inside you this whole time"

I know it won't and this whole post is meant to be sarcastic. if it doesn't belong here I understand.

Quick give me a new episode. I need my fix. I cannot handle these withdrawal symptoms. Bradley Cooper please save me!

I've watched quite a few shows in my life, some good and some not so much but Limitless is the first for me that makes me cringe almost all the time. Just now I had to turn it off because the cringe was too ridiculously strong, my stomach was getting weird, lol.

Did anyone else have the same experience? The show doesn't have that many episodes and I'm at 9th episode already. Should I continue watching- is there anything worthwhile and interesting to look forward? Does it get better towards the end?

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow, look at all those downvotes. I should have known better. Sorry for asking!

EDIT 2: If someone who cringes like me reads this thread I just wanted to add I finished the show and quite enjoyed it. It's definitely not the best show but it got better and less cringy for me the farther I watched.

I'm really into this show, but what keeps taking me out of it is the sound quality. Has anyone else noticed this? I have to turn my system way up just to catch the quiet parts, and even then the dialogue is often distorted. It's like the sound guy/girl has no idea what he/she is doing.

The show has been a bit rough so far, some good, some not so great. The humor isn't what I was hoping for, based on my expectations from the film, and it's not quite my bag. But I was with the show up until this week's episode.

An insult to all sensibility. I don't know what the producers were thinking, but this isn't the path toward a second season. I honestly believe they crashed their cart last night. Whatever jokey bullshit kid's stuff demographic they're after, I'm not part of it. Peace.

So im looking at the viewers for Quantico and Limitless and this is just surprising.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Quantico_episodes#Season_1_.282015.E2.80.9316.29

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limitless_(TV_series)#Episodes

Just how in the hell does CBS cancel this show and give the greenlight to Quantico?

Im not sure if any of you guys know about this but theres a movie thats pretty identical to the TV show. It has senator Morra (Bradley Cooper) and the same "Top Secret Drug" (NZT)

Heres the link m8s : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/

We know Sands has a son, who has Type 1 Diabetes. And through a bit of research, I found that Type 1 diabetes is hereditary, but the pattern is unknown. So, do yall think Sands is diabetic? Or is/was he just a bad person, and whether or not he had too much or not enough sugar wasn't apart of it?

I really like the show, but sometimes I have to roll my eyes when they go stupid. They wanted to looks for genetic traits, so they flip through thousands of pages of DNA sequencing that was printed into a book format. That's ridiculous, lol. Real world would just use the original digital files and parse the sequences using one of the many options available to anyone with any regular good old boring computer. Way to waste their brilliant minds, doing menial job that they could have solved in minutes. 😜

I want him dead. I know it sounds weird, but I think he should get killed. He's just a burden for Brian now. It would be so easy for Brian to ask sands to kill him. He doesn't have much left to live anyway.

Is there any similarity between kundalini awakening and the movie Limitless?? Does Bradley coopers character is showing symptoms of Kundalini awakening after taking the NZT drug? Because just after taking the drug he has this exceptional clarity, and same thing is experienced by people who experienced kundalini awakening...

At about 14:30 into episode 12, Rebecca is talking to Boyle about the diagram she made of the five longest recorded sniper kills. She says that the record is 2700 yards, and "he beat second place by a whole football field." She then says that the distance from the shooter to Senator Morra was 3315 yards, and that "she took a shot that would have beaten the old record by six football fields." So far, that all seems right. The papers are labelled with 2700 and 3315 yards, and that's 615 yards longer. A football field is technically 120 yards long, but if you don't count the end zones it's only 100 yards, which makes the math about right. The issue is that the "second place" kill is clearly labelled "2,475 yds" which would be 225 yards less than the 2700 yard kill, which isn't consistent with it being beaten by "a whole football field."

Edit: Tried to do the title twice and I can't get the formatting right. This will have to do.

So someone was given the 'privilege' of experiencing NZT in this episode.

Why he turns into a drivelling idiot is beyond me. "Yes'sum - ma'am you is so purdy" ~ or words to that effect.

So anyone on NZT does FBI's bidding?
