Murr Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Going to watch this too, there's fuck all on UK TV at the moment now SGU, Fringe, Chuck, Warehouse 13, Eureka and Misfits have finished for now. Probably the wrong time to say Glee's on tonight then True Blood Season 3 on Friday too
ReZourceman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 I've just started watching this, seen the first 8 (? possibly 7) episodes and am starting to really enjoy it. Although both the kids are annoying cunts, really. Ah, J.J. is okay, and his heart is in the right place at least. Daphne however is truly a fucking evil little bitch.
The Mad Monkey Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Probably the wrong time to say Glee's on tonight then True Blood Season 3 on Friday too Glee is not my thing, and don't get FX so no True Blood, have the whole series downloaded to watch anyway.
Murr Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Well the first episode was certainly... a first episode let's put it that way. Wifey - "Don't use your powers" Husband - "okay" *husband uses powers* Wifey - "HUSBAND!!! DONT USE POWERS" Husband - "your right, no more powers" *Wifey uses powers* Husband - "WTF Wench... you said no powers, then you use powers!" Wife - "yeah my bad, okay this time we really mean it now powers" Husband - "Yeah agreed no powers" Generic Black Guy - "Hey Super Husband, i'm going to the bank, so cant make your family school day thing" Husband - "it's cool, your part of this family!" *later bank gets robbed, Generic black guy calls super husband* Wife - "OMG WTF BBQ.... use your powers!!!" And end! oh and of course throw in a nosey no good boss, and a annoying as fuck school teacher, and that's episode one! although I will continue watching to see how this develops.
ReZourceman Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 You know it was a double bill right?
The Mad Monkey Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Quite enjoyed both episodes, bit slow to get going, but there's obviously some potential there. Chiklis is fabulous, as always.
ReZourceman Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah if I had one criticism it'd probably be that it is reasonably slow throughout. The plus side to that is that there is a lot of character development. Its awesome. Last few episodes have been great, 11 had Rene from 24 and 12 introduced the ginger Australian/English one from Lost (assumably as a new main character due to what happens with her) HA! I love J.J. I loved when his friend goaded him into punching him and his Google Goggles showed him what the best punch for the task at hand would be....that was so cool. It means he'll be a bad ass fighter. Evil guy is becoming not evil anymore...BUT STILL A BAD ASS. I like him a lot, despite us not having seen toooo much of him, I like the understated performance he gives. And the "I know what you didddd" chant was brilliant...it was like...wow this guys a dude. Cool episode. Also the ending was cool. We need more villains though/development of the existing ones. Really getting to be a great show. I hope it is renewed. Be a real shame if it wasn't.
ReZourceman Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 YES. Last weeks episode was awesome. Sylar in this is so much better than Sylar in Heroes.
ReZourceman Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Plot has started to explode in the last 5 episodes or so. Uberly entertaining.
ReZourceman Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. SO the show faces probable cancellation. Except the latest episode was kind of amazing so pisses me off even more. Dude-from-The-OC seems like an awesome villain to me. Loads of twists and turns and plot development. God. So good. Hate how cancel possibly. And Daphne continues to be a fucking cunt. "I don't feel comfortable manipulating people, but I will quite happily steal from them"
ReZourceman Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 That finale was as fucking awesome as fuck. Everything you could possibly want to happen including my number one want happened, and it had twists and turns and oh my fucking god....THE ENDING. Double cliff hanger amazing. If they make season 2 it would be the best thing ever. I will be fucking RAGE if this is cancelled. RAGE AS FUCK.
Ashley Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Well the episode from last week (was that the latest or was there one this week?) had the highest ratings for 2 months...but with Chicklis and Benz both courting other shows and the ratings in general being rather meh I can't see it coming back.
ReZourceman Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 *Sad face* I've been reading that they put it on at the same time as Glee and NCIS. o__________________0
Ashley Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 A lot of shows are placed against tough competition (Chuck is typically against House, American Idol etc) just because something has to be shown.
The Mad Monkey Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Shame it's going to get cancelled, I've been really enjoying it.
Eddage Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Just saw the finale, was awesome! Will be gutted if it gets cancelled, but I'm not getting my hopes up
ReZourceman Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Just saw the finale, was awesome! Will be gutted if it gets cancelled, but I'm not getting my hopes up Yeah its gonna suck if it does. Its almost annoying that the finale was so good.
ReZourceman Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Totally agree! I wasn't expecting it. I'm actually a big fan of his (he's written Spider-man, writes for Image, peep who publish Vince) so I gushed a bit after that as well. :p
Agent Gibbs Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I'm really disappointed that they cancelled this show, it was great and got better and better the problem with TV shows these days seem to be they decide if they are renewing after the first half of the eipisodes or earlier, and more often than not the season picks up and improves in the second half for example, Flash Forward, it was pitted against the likes of 24 and lost and failed, then they ended, the season continued and got better and better, but by this point they hadn't renewed and the cast had moved on Now the sames happened to No Ordinary Family And Stargate Universe, although thats more to do with other issues as well
Ashley Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 for example, Flash Forward, it was pitted against the likes of 24 and lost and failed, then they ended, the season continued and got better and better, but by this point they hadn't renewed and the cast had moved on Now the sames happened to No Ordinary Family And Stargate Universe, although thats more to do with other issues as well This works on the idea that television shows are renewed on quality though, which they're really not. It's all about the numbers (or you have to be a huge fan/critical darling which explains why 30 Rock, Chuck and others are still on the air). Looking at FF's numbers you can see why the network were disappointed:
