New TV Season Pilots (4 Viewers)

[pete]

Reaper: Our slacker hero turns 21; discovers parents sold his soul to the devil & now must work as satan's bounty hunter. Funny. Ray Wise as Satan = genius. Kevin Smith directed...

Chuck: Nerd inadvertently learns all CIA & NSA secrets & now must work for them. Funny, but more for the background context than the content.

Bionic Woman: Grown up Slater kid is in car crash & is fixed up by moonlighting government scientist boyfriend & now must work for the government. Not bad.

The Kill Point: Bank robbery gone wrong / siege / ex-NKOTB & easy company chap as grammar nazi negotiator. Good stuff, this.

Californication: Spooky Mulder as troubled writer in absolute filth fest. Entertaining smut.

Geico Cavemen?

bad?

 

[HMD]

where did you see them?

edit: it's ok, i see them on demonoid

 

[pete]

another one:

Damages - Glenn Close / Ted Danson legal type show. Pretty good, if a little bit... woman-y?

Watched the second episode tonight. It's a keeper.

I watched this last night. Oh jesus. If the show was centered around Ray Wise it could have been good, but the rest of the cast made me want to gouge out my eyes. Painful!

Totally...

Kevin Smith Lite.

 

[RSJ]

I liked it. Looking forward to the next episode. The dude with the hair = kevin smith = funny.

Watched the first Masters of Science Fiction last night. Was pretty good, but I'm a total sucker for that sort of thing.

Sam Waterston (Jack McCoy from Law & Order) was in this one; the next one has Terry O'Quinn & Elizabeth Rohm; the one after that has Anne Heche & Malcolm McDowell and the next one has Brian Dennehy & John Hurt.

Californication: Spooky Mulder as troubled writer in absolute filth fest. Entertaining smut.

Just watched the second episode of this. More smut - and damn funny smut at that. Gets extra points for mentioning a "Cradle of Filth Jesus Was A C Word" tshirt. This is possibly my new favourite TV show, and not just because of the smut.

ive downloaded the two episodes of californication but i havent watched them yet..i have however been watching the two coreys...about coreys haim and feldman..its kinda sad..

Bionic Woman: Grown up Slater kid is in car crash & is fixed up by moonlighting government scientist boyfriend & now must work for the government. Not bad.

Finally got around to watching this. First half wasn't bad, especially the bit with the lorry, but as soon as she gets the bionic shit it goes incredibly bad - special effects, dialog, acting... Terrible. Won't be watching any more of this.

most of the special effects are just placeholders & chunks of it are being redone for the "proper" pilot - the sister won't be deaf any more, for starters.

 

[RSJ]

That explains the running through the forest bit then.

all very road runner, wasn't it?

 

[RSJ]

To be fair, the CGI in road runner was very much ahead of it's time.

 

[aoboa]

Flash Gordon (2007) - new Sci-Fi channel series. Supposed to be terrible but im gonna give it a look.

 

[RSJ]

i have however been watching the two coreys...about coreys haim and feldman..its kinda sad..

just watched the first ten minutes of this, horrifically bad. Dunno if i'll bother watching the end of the episode. It's so scripted and the cutaway commentary things are like the war at home.

 

[pete]

Californication. Trust me. Scientology sex jokes.
