I meant to do this earlier...but did anyone else catch the series premiere of this show on Fox?
It was...ok...I dunno bout the show too much seems like it's been done before a few times and it might not work. But I'm gonna watch it again next week and see if it pans out, mostly cuz the end kinda left me wanting to, though most of the ep was kinda confusing TRYING to explain this premise.
Since it was the pilot, gotta give it benefit of the doubt since it is a complicated premise.
2.5 Stars, if you can catch a re-run of the pilot I would but hopefully next week will be better.

I was debating watching this or Monk..
In the end I chose Monk.. for a lot of reasons, but for one main one.
Every promo I saw for this show was intercut with a promo for the new Terminator episode, which didn't give nearly enough time to adequately explain this show to me. I'm not much for watching a show based simply on the cast or it's visual appearance, so the premise and plot are important to me. And to me, the promo failed to catch my interest. Thus, I was not interested in the possible wasting of an hour trying to get into a new show, when a show I enjoyed was on in the same time slot, with a new episode. The simple "From the mind of Joss Whedon" wasn't enough, because I rarely watched Angel or Buffy, or Firefly. And those shows are alright, nothing super special. (I'll wait over here for Angel and Spikes attempted crucifixion of me.)
So, if I catch the repeat and nothing else is on, fine. But if not, I won't lose any sleep over it. I'll just be content to watch Heroes and Burn Notice.

See, with me I tend to forget when things are on...like Heroes...I never got around to watching that (Shame on me, I know) and burn Notice I usually wind up doing homework or rps at that time of a thursday night so I usually have to try and catch up with reruns and marathons....or maybe I should invest in DVDs...something
Anyway I never do anything Friday Nights cuz I don't watch SD and it's on right before Adult Swim. So maybe...maybe it will work, if not, no loss I'll just have to use that time to chill to Comedy Central's reruns of Comedy Central Presents.

YEa... put me in the
I refuse to get over the name of Joss Whedon. Buffy and Angel was okay. I didnt even bother with Firefly. And the show just looked... meh, but so does every show on Fox, 'cept For House.
House owns your soul.

Well just finished ep 2...wow...really big improvement over the pilot. The writing, the camera work, the action, all were miles above the first episode which was so heavy into trying to explain the initial premise. Though...part of the ep wouldn't have made sense without ep 1 so...I am gonna remain optimistic bout the series for the time being. ANd hope they don't pull a Lost or Heroes on this thing and mid season or 2nd season pull some ****ed up ****. Right now the preview for next ep looks like it could be another good one. Looks like 2nd half of SD may miss me permanently
