Network Sci-Fi Still Hot!!
BIONIC WOMAN Autumn's
Highest-Rated New Show Yet!!

Fourth! No...yes? Yes! by PaperHe4rt	Sep 27th, 2007 04:29:48 PM
Hey...so, I used to watch the lead in Eastenders, something that's making her new character not sit too well. However, I think she'll shake that off and make some damn good US telly. LD
Too bad it was the weakest of NBC's new dramas... by Triceratops on Fire	Sep 27th, 2007 04:32:11 PM
Chuck and Journeyman are FAR more entertaining and potentially better shows than bionic. And I can guarantee I'm not alone in thinking that.
That's interesting, because it sucks. by epitone	Sep 27th, 2007 04:33:42 PM
Getting rid of the deaf sister was such an idiot move; it took away the one interesting part of the show. Now it's even more clear that Bionic Woman is just Alias with the balls cut off. Yawn.

They couuuuld rebuild her, if it wasnt for her HMO by vanfan	Sep 27th, 2007 04:36:53 PM
Not going to watch this. It's innacurate.
Chuck and Journeyman will not see a second season by fiester strikes back	Sep 27th, 2007 04:41:55 PM
This show will.
week two drop will be huge by Rupee88	Sep 27th, 2007 04:43:29 PM
they promoted the hell out of this show and it's a remake, so hence the ratings. Check back next week or in week 5.
Rupee88 by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 27th, 2007 04:47:09 PM
maybe, but the response to Private practice has been very very negative. i think that will dive harder and faster.
Will give it three episodes.... by hansello	Sep 27th, 2007 04:52:57 PM
Entertain me, or lose my viewershipidness. Also, Journeyman was pretty cool. Patiently waiting for Sarah Conner.
uhh..shuttlepod... by Mixiboi	Sep 27th, 2007 05:14:13 PM
Private Practice averaged 14.2 million viewers, Bionic Woman's averaged 13.6 million. It came in a close second to Bionic in the 18-49 demographic. So Killed?, not really...but lets see what happen next week.
Clobbered Private Practice??? by artisone	Sep 27th, 2007 05:16:56 PM
Are you on crack? Bionic got a 5.5 with A18-49 while Private got a 5.1. I wouldn't call that "clobbered." Besides, of all the televisions turned on last night, Private got a 15% share while Bionic got 13%.
Where's Lyndsey Wagner? Lee Majors? by kevinwillis.net	Sep 27th, 2007 05:31:42 PM
Why should I be interested in this without any stuntcasting. Come on, peoples.
explanation by mattgreene	Sep 27th, 2007 05:49:15 PM
can some look at these and tell me how bionic woman beat private practice at anything? http://www.tiny.cc/tbKHT http://www.tiny.cc/fzICa
Not the weakest, and did NOT Suck! by skydemon	Sep 27th, 2007 05:50:56 PM
Bionic Rocks!!
How in Gods Green earth Did BIONIC CHIN do that by Eh Nam1313	Sep 27th, 2007 05:53:11 PM
This show is a turd what the hell. Lets just hope its turns out like the WB Birds of Prey. Super start then crash!
It won the demographic by fiester strikes back	Sep 27th, 2007 05:55:22 PM
"Going head-to-head in the 9 p.m. hour, Private Practice averaged 14.2 million viewers to Bionic Woman's 13.6 million. Private Practice was a close second to the Jamie Somers display of amazing arm strength in the 18-49 demographic." And hey Herc, you fat bastard, when are you gonna unfreeze my main account? Just because someone razzed you for your undying love of reality TV and your admission that you'd never even seen the original UK run of "The Office" is no reason to delete all their posts and free their handle. Lame.
more idiots who like more shit by tme2nsb	Sep 27th, 2007 06:09:35 PM
It doesn't suprise me that this shit is popular..it's like fucking ass Heroes. If it smells like shit...
By episode six... by LordEnigma	Sep 27th, 2007 06:14:49 PM
this show will be one of the best on TV. Give it a chance. It will prove the worth of your investment.
This is a pilot, and a retooled one, at that by Thick McRunFast	Sep 27th, 2007 06:15:20 PM
Every show needs a few episodes to get its bionic legs, so to speak - I'll give this a few more eps. It'll be interesting to see if Eick put out good material without Moore; I'm a little pessismistic about that.
Ghost of Nixon by CaptainBitchway	Sep 27th, 2007 06:29:02 PM
Her fighting abilities are programmed into her or some other "techno-babble" explanation so that they are instinctual, like how she was able to disarm the guy in the alley without even thinking about it. In any case, she doesn't really have to learn how to fight, just how to control her bionics better, which I guess in the span of the episode, she did.
The premiere of LIFE, right afterwards by ewokstew	Sep 27th, 2007 06:30:09 PM
was better than the Bionic Woman. "Chuck" was spectacularly mediocre and Journeyman was actually pretty good. Reaper was the most fun of the new shows for me. I can see that sticking around for a bit.
Despite its tepid first showing by ewokstew	Sep 27th, 2007 06:32:30 PM
I will be giving the Bionic Woman a chance because there is something there. Whatever that is they better capitalize and expand on it. Quick.
Herc has no taste.. by MacFaux	Sep 27th, 2007 06:32:51 PM
Look at his picks to pans..Herc, while humourous, is a TV snob. He picked..Sarah Silverman's show as good and plenty C'MON! man..even Jimmy Kimmel doesn't think Sarah Silverman is funny. If she didn't have Posehn and that other thing there would be a bounty on her head. He panned...“Life,” which earned a strong 4.1 rating to win the 10 p.m. hour and rank as the third best-rated new show. “Life” topped the season premiere of “CSI: NY” (3.7, down 26 percent from last year) and the debut of ABC’s “Dirty Sexy Money” (3.6, down 22 percent from the premiere of “The Nine” last year""
yeah, it was pretty goddamn awful by Toe Jam	Sep 27th, 2007 06:33:15 PM
so many laugh-out-loud moments, and it wasn't even a comedy. first bionic woman's "timeout" bit was hysterical, really. i'll give it a few more episodes, though, as even the first episode of the american version of "the office" was absolutely horrid.
Just hope that NBC... by I Own You	Sep 27th, 2007 06:36:17 PM
... doesn't blow the good will of the ratings and gives Ryan some meatier scripts to work with. She's a better actress that the pilot allowed.
Don't discount Criminal Minds and Private Practice by chrth	Sep 27th, 2007 06:42:46 PM
Both were labelled by Marc Berman (www.mediaweek.com) as 'Winners'. Wednesday at 9pm might become the primo network matchup this season. Not that I watched any of these shows, but my wife watches Criminal Minds, with Fat Tony joining the cast!
Why do I get the feeling that half the naysayers by Yeti	Sep 27th, 2007 06:45:40 PM
Are the same loneley pathetic wannabe with multiple usernames trying to be a shit disturber?
Oh, and one more thing: Herc is wrong by chrth	Sep 27th, 2007 06:45:52 PM
It's Adults 18-49, not overall ratings. Private Practice had more viewers than Bionic Woman (source: http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/ne ws/recent_display.jsp?vnu_cont ent_id=1003648085 remove all spaces as always)
Hate by NudeandAroused	Sep 27th, 2007 06:58:02 PM
You guys are going to have to explain to me why it sucks so bad.
what does it really mean? by punto	Sep 27th, 2007 06:58:17 PM
the pilot sucked, but it looks like half of the people who worked on it got fired (including some of the cast; why do they hate deaf people?).. So the new episodes might actually be entirely different (as in: actually good). at least they got people's attention.
It'll drop like a rock next week by vich1	Sep 27th, 2007 07:02:09 PM
Just you wait and see. It sucked royally.
I hope they fired the blonde gov't chick. by Triceratops on Fire	Sep 27th, 2007 07:19:49 PM
I'm talking about the one who looks like a man, not the one who looks like Katee. Very scary.
Kitchen Nightmares was way fucking better last night. by Uncle Stan	Sep 27th, 2007 07:21:09 PM
Bionic DONKEYS!
Kitchen Nightmares is the best show on T.V. by Kirbymanly	Sep 27th, 2007 07:44:15 PM
Also, the person who wrote Bionic Woman was a co-writer on "Alexander". That explains a lot.
whining bitchy little turds by Blood T Cat	Sep 27th, 2007 07:48:11 PM
"I hate everything cus I'm an unhappy little troll with back acne who lives with my parents. Girls hate me and eventually I'll turn to the lonely man-love of other little bitter boys while continuing to say everything sucks in a pathetic attempt to hide my own self hatred and overwhelming insecurity. Eventually I'll accidentally hang myself while masturbating. My ashamed parents will find my bloated urine stained corpse then drink heavily to hide their shame."
The Bionic Woman & her sister are Frakken Hot! by The Outlander	Sep 27th, 2007 07:48:18 PM
And so is Katee Sackhoff. That reason enough for me to check it out again next week. I hope episode two will show improvement.
Clobbered Private Practice??? by snowpuff	Sep 27th, 2007 07:50:56 PM
Right. It didn't clobber it. But Herc jumps up and down and dances like a monkey for any showrunner that sends him an email. We will have to endure Bionic Woman posts this season whether the show has good ratings, has bad ratings, has good writing, bad writing....
I still think... by DirkD13"	Sep 27th, 2007 07:52:17 PM
That Journeyman is the best new show. But I have to hand it to Chuck, for a tv show it had some genuinely kick-ass action in it. Reaper was good but not great (oh but it so could be). This didn't impress too much, but it could quite easily become great. I think that UK viewers will have a problem with Zoe, sorry Michelle. I guess we just have to wait and see.
BW's ratings will drop sharply next week by odysseus	Sep 27th, 2007 07:56:42 PM
Every single person I talked to that watched the pilot (at least 5 people) pretty much said they hated it.
top 10 reasons to watch BW by harrys_site_sucks	Sep 27th, 2007 08:13:36 PM

Most people I talked to liked the pilot (6 people)... by Paul T. Ryan	Sep 27th, 2007 08:14:30 PM
That said, my girlfriend didn't like it. And that's equal to about 5 opinions of course. Still, here's hoping it lasts the distance.
What's with the Bionic haters??? by xannibal	Sep 27th, 2007 08:15:31 PM
Show wasn't great, but I think it had promise. I just don't think it has a chance on NBC.
XFL got good raitings too when it started by INWOsuxRED	Sep 27th, 2007 08:59:27 PM
I doubt this show will get a 2nd season to resolve whatever cliffhanger they screw their audience over with. My wife made me watch some of Bionic Woman, and I thought it was pretty laughable. Pilots are rarely indicative of the show's quality though, so I would be willing to give it a 2nd chance at some point. Doesn't seem like much is on during the timeslot.
Chuck is better by underscore_only	Sep 27th, 2007 09:50:23 PM
Fancy a crappy show getting good ratings. I don't care if it's a step forward for network sci-fi, it's a step back for good shit being on a network again.
Best news about this show ? by Itchy	Sep 27th, 2007 09:51:56 PM
I just found out the chick who plays Jamie Sommers little sister is 18. Woo hoo ! Now I don't have to feel guilty that I really want to eat my dinner out of her ass. http://imdb.com/name/nm1423955 /
NBC did promo the hell out of this show by Boondock Devil	Sep 27th, 2007 10:31:41 PM
So it's not too surprising it did well. It'll be interesting to see how much of that holds up next week. Of course, of all the new shows I still enjoyed Reaper the most.
Itchy by Turd Furgeson	Sep 27th, 2007 10:46:01 PM
hahahaha holy shit thats funny! I'm glad too because that little girl is hot.. I supressed my wood for her cause I thought she was BW's daughter, not sister, making her about 13.. Awesome! This show was OK for a first episode, a little too like "ALIAS" for my tastes.. Too much gov't conspiracy shit already.. This will be back for more and I think Journeyman was cool, not so sure about "Life" though.. Way too much overacting in that show.
Bucky did a great job... by Billyeveryteen	Sep 27th, 2007 10:49:49 PM
I'll watch more.
Reaper -- then Chuck -- then anything else. by jimbojones123	Sep 28th, 2007 12:33:56 AM

I hate all the new network shows by INWOsuxRED	Sep 28th, 2007 01:14:04 AM
unless Mad Men is still considered new.
For 18-34 bracket, yes. However... by Lenny Nero	Sep 28th, 2007 01:56:53 AM
..."Private Practice" still got better ratings overall. Don't know if anybody else on the board has said this already, but "BW" did NOT clobber "Private Practice."
Cockfag critics eat there own shit: by wowsah156	Sep 28th, 2007 04:28:36 AM
I am just glad that all the whiny cockfag bitchy tv critics got slapped. I am starting to think that a lot of these critics are women haters. Get over it , Michelle Ryan is going to be big , once they give her decent scripts to work with. And for all the Sackhoff militia out there, she was so one-dimensional it was tragic. So dont bitch. Give the show a chance.
Why Bionic Woman won't last by JakeW	Sep 28th, 2007 05:44:16 AM
The reason that B.W. got the ratings it did was simply because of the massive advertising campaign that NBC had for the show (Who hasnt seen the trailer a million times)? Most viewers are not going to turn in the second week because their expectations were for a nostalgic recreation of what they grew up with in the 70's (or for something along the lines of what BSG turned out to be). Bionic woman is neither. Beyond the fact that the writing sucks, Bionic Woman has been plagued by huge problems throughout production. Glen Morgan walked off the show after a huge fight with Eick over the shows "direction". NBC pushed thru a consultant (Katims) whose suggestions are pretty much ignored, not to mention Smilovic coming in to try to redirect the horrific writing and problems NBC continues to have with it. I won't even go into all of the personality problems with people on the set or the fact alot of the gay people working with the show are upset over the addition of Isaiah Washington, who according to one person high up in the show isnt homophobic because ??!! he once dressed up as a woman for an acting part??!! The potential bionic woman had was great, but the reality of it is whats going to tank it quickly. No one wants to eat in an empty restaurant, and for all the advertising, special effects, great actors (Sackhoff, Ferrar, even Ryan) its pretty much empty.
Loved it by caerlas	Sep 28th, 2007 05:57:58 AM
Saw it, loved it. My new favorite show! Funny, I figured more people at AICN would dig it. I'm curious what the Popcandy comments will say. Anyway I didn't have a problem with the pilot at all. I like the lead actress, never seen BSG but I liked the other bionic character too. Fun show!
To Any and All TV Exec's: by redtom	Sep 28th, 2007 06:15:58 AM
See??? There IS a market for all this superhero, bionic fantasy sci-fi hooey - just make a fucking decent one now while you're at it... the reason your veiwers tail off and the ratings go down is because most of them are fucking crap because you make them fucking crap...
MIchelle Ryan by SpiderD	Sep 28th, 2007 06:38:04 AM
Its a shame they chose Michelle Ryan to lead this show because she is a poor actress indeed. She used to be in a show called Eastenders which is renowned for its god awful acting here in the UK. I find it laugh out loud hilarious that some idiot thought she could actually lead a show (did they not research her previous work), I find it even funnier that someone on this TB said Katee Sackhoff could not of acted her roles in the UK, trust me anything but Michelle Ryan is an improvement! ...and please people stop saying she's gonna be the next BIG thing, i wouldn't kick her out of bed but she sucks at acting
Sakoff's character seems too much like by Dingbatty	Sep 28th, 2007 06:44:11 AM
Romijn's rendition of Mystique, but with The Joker's mouth.
Private Practice Won The Night by OB1KNBI	Sep 28th, 2007 06:45:19 AM
True, Bionic Woman won as far as the 18-49 year old crowd, which is what advertisers crave, but the truth is Private Practice had a 9.7/15 share where as Bionic Woman got a 8.4/13 share. So, with the "Actual" numbers, Private Practice is the highest rated new show of the year so far. Go to Zap2it.com if you want the truth.
DarkHawke by Dingbatty	Sep 28th, 2007 06:59:58 AM
Now and Again was cool. Ridiculous that it got canned so soon.
Pilot is not a indicator of the show... by wowsah156	Sep 28th, 2007 07:02:42 AM
We cant all diss a show on a pilot. Think people. If we did would Buffy have survived in its first season? Give Ryan and the writers a chance.
Too bad it blew goats by Losers_Game	Sep 28th, 2007 07:23:06 AM
The dropoff is probably going to be HUGE - and deservedly so. I'd hoped it was going to be better, but now I know not to waste my time.
The bad bionic women by Series7	Sep 28th, 2007 07:24:41 AM
LOOKS like a clown? I don't know why you people are into clown porn so much. That or weird dream sequence women from David Lynch movies??? And I can't wait for McBlacky to be on this show as the Bionic Man with a homophobia chip... kind of like Data.
Show was kinda meh... by Kid Z	Sep 28th, 2007 07:30:22 AM
... but premiere eps are always problematic, especially for high concept shows. Maybe it'll get better. Michele Ryan looks great, but if she really wants to pull off playing an American, she needs to get to a tanning booth...stat! English women have beautiful complexions, but now Americans (with the possible exception of goths) are that damn white.
BIONIC WOMAN was okay for a pilot episode by SpyGuy	Sep 28th, 2007 08:09:54 AM
Now, did it blow you away like the LOST, TWIN PEAKS and ALIAS pilots? No, but I saw enough potential there to hang in for a few episodes to see if things click. Shows like STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, ANGEL and BUFFY had shitty pilot episodes and then went on to decent runs, so all of you instant-gratification junkies need to pop a valium and relax a bit. Oh, and Katee Sackhoff DOES look like the Joker, especially in that bar scene when she's wearing dark lipstick. And Series 7, don't knock clown porn if you've never tried it.
good but not great by VoodooV	Sep 28th, 2007 08:18:30 AM
I thought the pilot was pretty good, but ditching the deaf sister was funny. The reason I forsee that the series is going to tank is that while the episode was good, it left me with a definite "been there, done that" feeling. standard episodic action series. limited multi-episode arcs and yeah, the dependence on BSG characters. The show has potential, so I hope I'm proven wrong, but its the network we're talking about here, they already tanked the deaf sister, probably just because the new one was hot. Oh and I noticed that they're portraying the sister as some sort of wannabe hacker. Any bets that a future episode will involve her hacking skills "saving" the day? It's stuff like that that make me think that as a continuing series, it's got nowhere to go but down.
Ghost Of Nixon by Blood T Cat	Sep 28th, 2007 08:46:26 AM
You're allright. Look, I didn't think it was great but in the scheme of things, it was good enough. I'm not expecting much and it was no worse than the other crap on tv. A hot chick, some fighting, a younger hot chick. It certainly beats the various reality shows or Jeff Foxworthy's "Cout Yer Polecats". But the bigger question is, why are so many young people watching tv anyway? Go out, chase some pussy or whatever makes you happy.You can watch tv when you get older.Trust me.

Journeyman Sucked... by TVGuy Returns	Sep 28th, 2007 09:15:27 AM

Katee Sackhoff as Harley Quinn by KryptonOne	Sep 28th, 2007 09:16:59 AM
Someone said she looks like the Joker. No...But she would make a good Harley Quinn in the next Batman movie! And I want to see Hugh Laurie in a Sherlock Holmes movie. :)
Top 3 season starts by lostbat	Sep 28th, 2007 09:47:17 AM
1. the Unit 3.1.(GREAT GREAT) 2. Journeyman 3. Bionic Woman (Lets see and wait) the rest soooo dissapointing. Heroes 2.1. - Boring Premiere Prison Break 3.1, 3.2 - Fox!! this one you can canceln now , and nobody will complain CSI Miami 6.1 - CSI Coincidence. The script writers looked too much Prison Break...... Criminal Minds 3.1.- the Departure of "traitor" Mandy Patinkin. The unaired episode from last year slashed!!This is gonna be the last season. Whats next?
Three Problems by aufdemKiez	Sep 28th, 2007 10:03:37 AM
I haven't watched the premiere episode yet, but I did watch the pilot and I think there are three major problems with the show that I don't think they will be able to fix. 1. Michelle Ryan - She just doesn't have the sex appeal of a Jennifer Garner or Alba. If your going to have a show with weak writing you need a sexy lead and she just can't cut it. 2. Having a fiance - I mean where's the sexual tension. If you want to attract the female audience to a show like this you need some sexual tension between the main character and a potential partner. 3. Making her a bartender - What is she going to do, pour bionic bourbon and cokes. I had hope for this show and will hope they can salvage it, but it could have been so much better.
Why are so many people watching TV? by Kid Z	Sep 28th, 2007 10:21:54 AM
Because most people seldom GET out... most of us (hey, I admit it) have no lives... what else are we gonna do after work? Going out clubbing and partying just doesn't work on weeknights if you have a full-time job. Also, let's face it, as Seinfeld once famously said, only about 5-10 percent of people out there are dateable, and I guarantee most of the regulars here on AICN are in that other 90-95 percent. All we want is some decent, cheap entertainment on the tube or in the theatres.
MacFaux, herc never said he liked BW by slusho the vampire slayer	Sep 28th, 2007 10:36:18 AM
He was just pointing out that a sci-fi show did well in viewership ratings, which is true (would have been odd if it didn't, considering how much it was promoted). Herc even posted a couple days ago saying that he didn't like the premiere overall (except for Katee Sackhoff, who was great as always).
lostbat by Series7	Sep 28th, 2007 12:09:06 PM
Prison Break is the tits. I love that show! Never get rid of it, its probably the most Ridiculous show on TV. BUT ITS AWESOME! At least there is no other show that is a just like it on TV. ALSO worst fucking preimere episode of the season CSI:VAGAS oh my fucking god what a horribly boring episode I thought I was watching Gerry again. Worst cliffhanger resolution ever. Also I dated a girl that looks just like the miniture killer, which was werid.
Kid Z by Series7	Sep 28th, 2007 12:19:11 PM
I am glad that TV is really good right now, because after blowing my money on seeing Halloween (i know stupid me) I am afraid to waste any more fall movies. Like I've been wanting to see Superbad, but after the over hyped super boring Knocked up couldn't bring myself to go. And i was going to go this week but then TV had much better appeal. Now its out of theaters. This weeked I will have to decide to see The Kingdom or Nip/Tuck reruns i've missed??? And I agree about the full time job thing, what the fuck else do I have time for? I come home at 5 sleep wake up work out eat and then its like 8 or 9? Gotta be up by 7. So i watch tv till 3 in the morning.

... But it revels in it's own stupidity and hence is great, mindless fun. So far it's the new show I've enjoyed most.
Its Aiiiight by skoobyx	Sep 28th, 2007 07:08:26 PM
Katee would have made a better lead than Michelle but the real reason she stands out is that the Sarah character is more interesting than the Lindsey character. Which might be a problem down the line. It does have potential but for some reason I can't imagine this AND 'Heroes' on the same network at the same time. Of course there are ten cop shows on at once.....
Poor Script by criticalbliss	Sep 29th, 2007 01:50:20 AM
Bionic suffered from a poor script that had no sense of subtext, theme, or nuance. It was paint-by-numbers. It felt like the hack, Goyer wrote it. My biggest problem was the lack of a sense of trauma from her injury. There should have been a much longer period invested in her recovery and sense of powerlessness. Then, the added kick afterward of the sudden influx of bionics. Still, I see potential in the series if they can bring some good writers aboard. I fail to see the interest in the "bad" bionic woman, by the way. She was blander than the lead (who I think has a sense of vulnerability that might make for an interesting juxtaposition). Reaper was actually a fun show. Well written in a Buffy sort of way.
BSG sucks. by criticalbliss	Sep 29th, 2007 01:52:29 AM

will buffy or sandra bullock make a cameo?? by theonecalledshoe	Sep 29th, 2007 01:54:08 PM
or better yet wonder woman.. no.. wrong show otay.
Networks should get the message.. by Ironmuskrat	Sep 29th, 2007 03:45:10 PM
The Bionic Women pilot was a mixed bag at best. But the fact that it still won its time slot should tell network exec's that there is a large audience out there waiting for quality Sci-Fi shows. I hope network TV takes the hint. Lord knows the Sci-Fi channel seems satisfied will only a couple of original quality shows. Strange for a network that is suppose to be dedicated to the science fiction genre.

As remakes go it was a vast improvement over Wagner's parachute jump accident pilot. Just what brand of rose-tinted glasses are some of you viewing the old series through? The old show sucked balls and the new one is 1000x better and has a superior story structure. I like the idea of an ordinary woman being made bionic who has to not only deal with her new-found strength but also has a highly-trained military bionic prototype who's also psychotic and after her ordinary ass. It'll make for a much better showdown when the newbie earns her stripes. Trust me, this show will get better.
1 season at best by kadayi	Sep 30th, 2007 06:13:39 PM
Poor throughout. I kind of expected more from the BSG guys (which is generally stellar), the only decent aspect was the scene stealing performance of Katie Sackoff who clearly enjoyed being the baddie. It made me wish that the producers had waited until BSG wrapped up and cast her in the main role as she definitely has the chops to carry a show like this. Michelle Ryan was pretty vacant (to borrow a line from the Sex Pistols) the (replacement) super web hacker sister looks like an opportunity for product placement (was that an Ibook she had stashed away?...jesus writers do you even know a thing about hackers?), the scientist/boyfriend insipid and lackluster, the Asian ponytail in need of cutting, Eddie Izzard looking his scariest in drag (the likeness is uncanny no?) and Miguel Ferrer clearly happy to get a paycheck. The only reason to watch the show further might be to watch Sackoff eat the scenery when she makes her infrequent returns as a guest star. Doomed to failure unless there is a major turnaround.
TOO SOON!!! by Pageiv	Sep 30th, 2007 08:24:11 PM
Wow, how do you all know how this series is going to be after one episode? And to say, "It's not good" is one thing but what's with the hate?
you can't blame shit pilots on viewers by INWOsuxRED	Sep 30th, 2007 09:51:29 PM
viewers shouldn't have to stick around for 5 episodes, just to figure out if a show is worth their time or not. Executives, creators and writers get paid a shitload to do pilots and there are plenty of people that don't get those opportunities that would likely do great. Authors need to hook readers on the first page, even the first sentence. People that make TV shows need to get that through their heads. It is almost as insulting as those poor movie executives blaming poor box office results on downloading and DVD and everything else but the quality of their product. If you can't entertain me out of the gate, somebody else can, and you lose. I don't owe you a bunch of do-overs.
The deaf tard had to go...... by Sour_Toejam	Oct 1st, 2007 09:50:13 AM
Come on, the deaf retarded chick had to go! If she stayed, Jaime would have had to get the cretin a bionic ear! Jaime got one for free, so why not her deaf goth sister/daughter/whatever the fuck she was. It would have been cool to see Jaime throw her bad attitude through some sheet-rock walls into the next building. Also, no one likes to watch handicappers on TV....and who would date one? I would have preferred they killed her off in the first episode....like this, Jaime yells "duck!" and the deaf tard eats a bullet, in and out, cause she can't hear shit. Hence, the emotional breakdown and a reason for Jaime to go after "the other side". Cool, now we got a hot chick playing the part, which oughta be good to rub off to.
Oh, forgot to say.... by Sour_Toejam	Oct 1st, 2007 09:52:41 AM
It would have been better if she tore a phonebook and they used the "dur dur dur dur dur" bionic sound.
