BIRDS OF PREY! 1.2!!
A liquidy wupervillain goes after the host of “Soul Train”!
Here’s what we said in Coax’s July 21 “Birds of Prey” spoilers:
* It’s common knowledge that the pilot’s villain-of-the-week is a fellow with a Scarecrow-like flair for exploiting one’s worst fear; what’s less known is the nature of Harleen’s subsequent evildoing minions. We’ve learned she’ll be using a mutant assassin named Slick, who can transform himself into water and back. He also likes to drown people with his own body.
* One draft of the pilot script established that Barbara taught a computer lab. Though that scene isn't expected to air, it will be established in the Slick episode that Barbara does indeed oversee a classroom at New Gotham High School.
* "Prey" producers also seem keen on generating lots of sexual tension between Helena "Huntress" Kyle and Reese, the quasi-adversarial police detective she keeps bumping into as they investigate the same supercrimes.
9 p.m. Wednesday. The WB.

Birds of Prey is one of the worst TV shows ever. It is filled with terrible writing, terrible directing, horrible sets and effects, ugly customes, and unlikable characters. Unbelievably bad. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. And Fettatstic thinks its really good, and Lynxpro is an Andromeda fan.

Well, I sat through another yawner BOP. Freak of the week... ahh sounds like WB familar fodder.
At least the girly in a bra in a steam room scene was nice -
Yes, in this brave new world, I still exist.
But enough about me, I like Birds Of Prey, and I liked Episode 2. I really caon't find anything wrong with this series. Just because it don't fit every fanboys pre-conceived notions of a superheroic series, dont mean you have to ream this great series a new rectum. I'm getting into the characters, and their development is coming along nicely. This is the only new series this season that has grabbed my attention. Well, the only non anime series that has grabbed my attention.
Welcome to Zone Zero, the Alpha and Omega of fandom. -
As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad this talkback has been so short thus far. Most of you talkbackers are annoying brats that wouldn't know the first thing about putting on a tv series anyway, so do your homework before making silly statements like "this show bites", etc. Those of us who care enough to watch the show and write about it can say we were there from the beginning and not be bandwagoners like 99% of those who visit this site. Does the show have problems? Sure, but name one show that doesn't. Birds of Prey has unlimited potential. I can say that, and I'm a longtime Batman fan, comic books included.

BoP is good...but i didnt watch the second episode, not because i didnt want to, but simply because i had better things to do. if u havent figured out that im not a fan by now, then u r realy really slow. Now, im not up for dissing a show i never saw, but i have seen this, and heres what i think. The huntress should hook up with that muscled up black cop she keeps running into, or better yet, a dark tormented champion of justice with an uncanny characteritic...that would be a soul. That should bring the 'necessary' romance to the show, moreover, Oracle and batgirl should become a lesbian couple, then one of them should die, preferably oracle, sending Batgirl into an endless spiral of torment down into the depths of insanity, and ultimately, witchcraft. Then she will becaome the big bad, which huntress and her undead...I mean black cop boyfriend must take down in a glorious battle in the end. Now if viewers like my ideas, we will know when the show comes back on next season, however if they don't, Huntress, I'll miss ur tiny boobs :) --Genome out

That I have been with a crappy, blackhole of talent show, like Birds of Prey. Oh, wait, no I don't. I wish I could say I was involved with a good show from the start. But then, if you like Birds of Prey, you probably won't ever know the difference, so good luck.
-
I agree that every show could be seen to have some problems, but the difference with BOP is that it is nothing but problems. The only potential BOP has is that it could be scrapped in order for something of intelligence and substance to be made. Also, the TB is short because of a site error, it used to be longer. And I've worked in TV and Movies, so I'd say I have knowledge of the process and you know what? This show bites.
-
That they're from the same cesspool, is definately been established.
-
1) The show relies almost exclusively on indoor sets and greenscreen CGI exteriors, which gives it a very claustrophobic feeling. 2) The fight scenes are poorly edited, even for TV. I know they have to cover for the use of stuntpeople/professional martial artists, but this is worse than either "Buffy" or "Angel."
-
Ep 2 was a vast improvement, although we're still talking sub-Charmed here. Oracle's love interest stinks (too early!). I hate the music during the lame fight scenes. I suppose one ray of hope is the prospect of a middle-aged, "Dark Knight Returns" style Batman. Considering he must have been at least 25 when he fathered Huntress (assuming he has a doctorate in chemical engineering), and that she must be at least 21 to serve liquor, then we are talking a Bats who is in his late forties at least. I liked Harley's mention of "Mr. J." Cheers!
