Supernatural spin off? by theycallmemrglass	Apr 9th, 2008 11:47:36 AM

Its Fox by Dignan666	Apr 9th, 2008 11:47:42 AM
I hope we get more than 5 episodes before Fox cancels it.
Or X-files reboot by theycallmemrglass	Apr 9th, 2008 11:49:26 AM

a ahole's thoughts... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 9th, 2008 11:52:17 AM
...I kinda had no interest in this show until I saw...PACEY'S IN IT!...that is my mofo Capeside guy...unless Joshua Jackson is somebody else...that would suck... PS: GO DUCKS! QUACK QUACK QUACK...
True, I will wait 2 years by theycallmemrglass	Apr 9th, 2008 11:52:44 AM
before deciding wether to see if it has a direction and is worth watching or if it gets cancelled I wont bother at all.
Yea, god knows I love JJ, but.... by TheSeeker7	Apr 9th, 2008 12:03:52 PM
Seriously, how is this NOT the closest thing we've ever had to an X-Files ripoff since the show went off the air?
Is "hot FBI girl" from the press release? by tonagan	Apr 9th, 2008 12:05:39 PM
Remember that show "The Inside"? I just thought of that for some reason.
minge? by ironic_name	Apr 9th, 2008 12:27:07 PM

At least they have something to run with Dollhouse. by silentbobfan	Apr 9th, 2008 12:41:13 PM
Instead of sticking it on a shit night like Firefly.
My money's on 4 episodes... by Kid Z	Apr 9th, 2008 12:41:57 PM
... airing before Fox cancells it. But then, I'm in an optimistic mood today.
Joshua Jackson bugs me by snowpuff	Apr 9th, 2008 12:46:24 PM
Not sure why...
Where's the cheap Buffy's? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 9th, 2008 12:47:19 PM
the link leads to this big sci-fi sale where the buffy seasons are 29-34 bucks each and the complete series is $169. Where's the $19 and $99 versions he mentions?
Hope he remembered the "no cut, no trade".... by Aloy	Apr 9th, 2008 12:48:57 PM
when he signed those contracts. Otherwise I'll wait for a few eps before buying in. (Don't worry, I'll make lots of noise like I watch every show and buy all the sponsors products...)
re: snowpuff on JJ by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 9th, 2008 01:02:52 PM
...Joshie boy bugged me in Cursed...actually, that whole movie bugged me...heh, Peter Petrelli was gay in it...
HOW ABOUT A PICTURE OF ANNA TORV, HERC??? by AdrianVeidt	Apr 9th, 2008 01:03:55 PM
I mean, give us some eye candy for crying out loud.
From the pictures I have seen of Anna Torv, by TVguy4566	Apr 9th, 2008 01:06:39 PM
Calling here a "hot" FBI agent might be a bit of overmarketing spin. Maybe cute FBI agent, but that might be stretching it. Maybe I just seen bad pictures of her, but I get no funny sensation down there when I look at her pictures.
Here is a "hot" picture of Anna Torv by TVguy4566	Apr 9th, 2008 01:09:04 PM
http://tinyurl.com/566nf9 They better make the demons damn ugly or Joshua Jackson will be hitting on them instead of Anna.
Fuck Joshua Jackson by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 9th, 2008 01:10:27 PM
Hes a prick. Cocky. I cant tell if hes over acting or just not acting at all. Met him a couple times being an extra for the Creek down at Willmington NC. Hes just...shit? And now he has a movie with the hot Aussie from Transformers and gets a great gig with Abrams. This is a bad day. I thought his career had already been triple deaked. Fudge.
Another "hot" picture of Anna Torv by TVguy4566	Apr 9th, 2008 01:10:52 PM
http://tinyurl.com/5m233t Sure she wasn't cast as the smart, but unattractive best friend.
"hot" by oisin5199	Apr 9th, 2008 01:19:07 PM
Most talkbackers would kill to have a girlfriend that attractive. The standards here are warped.
oisin5199 by TVguy4566	Apr 9th, 2008 01:37:14 PM
Real world and TV world are two different things. She may be real world attractive, but she is TV so-so.
So....will they be mking this up as they go along too by Jugdish	Apr 9th, 2008 01:49:04 PM
lets be honest- lost was never planned this way..they just keeping make shit up and up and up and up
not attractive... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 9th, 2008 01:50:56 PM
...shes not attractive at all...even so-so in the real world...but maybe her character would be attractive kinda like Starbuck...
sounds like by palooka_boy	Apr 9th, 2008 01:53:36 PM
x-files meets supernatural? eh, I trust JJ. He hasn't failed me yet
anna torv was the model for by logicalnoise01	Apr 9th, 2008 01:59:54 PM
the chick the heavenly sword PS3 game.....kind of interesting I guess.
X-Files with a LOST "vibe" to it... by Yeti	Apr 9th, 2008 02:21:25 PM
I'm looking forward to seeing what they've come up with.
sounds like gold by Mr_X	Apr 9th, 2008 02:47:07 PM
double j it seems can do no wrong. but remember if its on fox and if no one watches the previews it'll be canned before the first ad break. If it makes it to season 3 I might give it a shot. Fool me once and all that jazz
"Shit About Vampires" by tonagan	Apr 9th, 2008 03:04:05 PM
gotham_night, I want that show greenlit immediately!
Meh by quadrupletree	Apr 9th, 2008 03:10:11 PM
sounds like Alias meets X-files. Fail!
genre show by johnnysunshine	Apr 9th, 2008 03:35:36 PM
a new genre show on Fox. Should we start the save our show internet campaign now?
ShiftyEyedDog2 by Bouncy X	Apr 9th, 2008 03:43:59 PM
the sale ended.
What this show needs is a GAY AGENDA!!! by spud mcspud	Apr 9th, 2008 04:29:09 PM
And having seen Joshua Jackson in CRUEL INTENTIONS, I'd say it has a head start on the competition. Seriously, Abrams - this is a fucking X-FILES ripoff in all but name. Do you or your backers have no fucking shame whatsoever?
The Anna Torv Issue by spud mcspud	Apr 9th, 2008 04:31:19 PM
No, I wouldn't. Though Captain Jack Harkness might. And doubtless Joshua Jackson's character will. Eww.
Is David Duchovny in this? by Ashok0	Apr 9th, 2008 04:46:27 PM
Someone please sign DD and Gillian on board, please!
Will this be filmed by handheld videocam? by JeffManSixtyFo	Apr 9th, 2008 05:57:00 PM
Gonna need lots of bayer.
My Lost theory... by rutgersjaffo	Apr 9th, 2008 06:07:03 PM
I believe that the Island travels in time. I think this is why 'the bad guys' want it. I think the numbers are Jacob's 'safety person' just like Desmond was for that new scientist guy. That's why they are everywhere. No matter what time the island appears in, they make sure the numbers are somewhere so he can maintain. That is also why he is there and yet not there. I think he has been on the island for so long that his 'temporalness' is a bit sketchy and only the numbers keep him focused in one time. I think that's how the Black Rock got onto the island--it just appeared right under it. I think the Darma Project was probably trying to control or steer the island. Just an idea though. any thoughts?
Come on people by password.swordfish	Apr 9th, 2008 08:51:04 PM
Nothing Abrams does gets canceled, even when it really really really deserves it (cough - Alias after the first two seasons - cough). And is he actually involved, or is he just getting credit for other people's work... again. Barely involved in Lost if at all, didn't direct or write Cloverfield (which still wasn't great, but it was good). When was the last time this guys was creatively involved in anything, and why does he continue to get credit for stuff he doesn't do? Sorry, just really feel like he's overrated. And this sounds like unimaginative tripe. Hopefully it's better than its pitch.
Bouncy X by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 9th, 2008 09:31:29 PM
yeah, i see he's changed it now. But it was still there when I posted, and for a good half a day or more after it apparently ended. grrrr...
Yes, I am waiting for a show to be cancelled by I am_NOTREAL	Apr 10th, 2008 06:57:52 AM
before the first episode is even over. That's surely next. Just fill in the last twenty minutes with a Family Guy rerun. How is this not X-Files 2? Has anyone alerted Chris Carter's lawyers?
Sounds lame by Dazzler69	Apr 10th, 2008 06:58:43 AM

....again with the weird hot-FBI-chick-cop-Hollywood-fant asy... by Bill Brasky	Apr 10th, 2008 08:12:00 AM
Or, simply put, most of the female Federal Agents that I have had the mild misfortune to work with look more like Rosie O'Donell or Ellen then they do Anna Torv or Gillian Andersen. Sorry.
regarding Abrams involvement by Bouncy X	Apr 10th, 2008 12:09:54 PM
he continually has his name attached regardless of actual day to day involvement because its his production company, Bad Robot. its no different than all those shows with Bruckheimer's name attached, i doubt hes much involved in any.
BouncyX by password.swordfish	Apr 10th, 2008 06:03:06 PM
Yeah, I get that, but I don't understand why people overlook the writers and directors, who are actually creating the final product, and focus on Abrams. Think I'd be a little pissed if he got credit for my work just because he has a big name. I feel the same way about Bruckheimer, so that works out.
RIP Fringe by JacksParasites	Apr 10th, 2008 07:18:16 PM
Honestly, does anyone still think a new sci-fi show on Fox even has a chance at making more than 13 episodes before being canceled? If Sarah Conner survives, it'll only be because its tied to such a strong franchise. I think think the show is pretty good, but even excellent sci-fi shows on Fox have been canceled quickly.
If it gets cancelled maybe they'll bring it back by CrichtonAstronut	Apr 11th, 2008 12:53:59 PM
recast the FBI chick with Kristin Bell and have Rob Thomas as the new show runner. And they'll call anything but Veronica Mars
they should make a show by krycek08	Apr 11th, 2008 11:26:21 PM
xfiles in space they go to different planets and investigate weird stuff no shemp(doggett) though
