Did anyone watch this the other night?? I missed it and just want to know if it's worth my time to download and watch it.

 

[digitalbabe]

Not yet had a chance to catch up with this, but it is in DVR, so I'll give it a chance...

Watched the first 2 episodes the other night and thought it was not too bad at all and I am looking forward to watching the 3rd episode from last night within the next couple of days.

There are a few storyline issues and I thought his, The Cape's, development to being a "super-hero" went way to fast, although he does get the crap kicked out of him on a regular basis

Hope it lasts

Cheers

watching the first episode, about an hour in right now and it's just terrible IMO.

I wanna wait a few seasons. I'm still pissed how Heroes started out good and then went to crap and cut mid season.

 

[Glen-BoB]

i really dont see this one lasting as long as heroes.

 

[Wreck]

I agree. But will time will play out.

It it makes it past the first season I'll be really surprised.

I think what happened with Heroes was that the writers didn't expect it to continue as long as it did. I know the writer's strike during season 2 didn't help, but they kind of killed themselves when they kept writing stuff that negated what was previously established. I still watched it until the end, but the best of the show ended halfway through season 2 (and that's being generous).

I've actually been enjoying this show so far.

lol

Exactly why I didn't want to start watching it

 

[Sixteenvolt420]

What do they expect. They switched the nights from sunday, to monday, trying to compete with cbs's comedy line-up.

 

[Glen-BoB]

they usually switch nights when the show starts to tank and they still have episodes to run. then they can give the slot to something else more promising.

If anything, i'm hoping if it doesn't work out on NBC, they move it to SYFY, like they did with Merlin.

if SyFy pics it up, 100 dollars says SyFy will say is a SyFy original, bunch of lying turds
and its really pissing me off they claim this on everything, for instance, did anyone watch Being Human when it it was on? got canned, SyFy picks it up and guess what? thats right, tthey say, another SyFy original series, i was thinking of calling Law and Order and see if they would take this case lol

Never knew that being human was on another channel. I never saw any adverts for it until syfy.

 

[BurntPopcorn]

i believe it was on the CW a year ago, my point about it not being new

 

[digitalbabe]

Oh wow, I had no idea "Being Human" was elsewhere (aside from the original in UK, of course) either....interesting....
