I took a survey at the NBC website last night. They asked which networks you watched, how often, and which shows, and how often.
They already have
Drive
listed on the page where they ask which FOX shows you watch, so I ticked the "Regularly" box for
Drive.
So uh, Drive. First ep's pretty damn good.
Still not a Fillion fan, but he's much better cast here than in Firefly.
The rest of the cast, I like a lot. I thought the pacing was a little rushed, but I'm not sure how to fix that AND introduce the ginormous cast AND get through all the exposition about the race. Now that the introductions are out of the way, I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
Dude! I haven't seen it yet. I've read 4000 versions of it.
I win at watching!
Or, uh, something.
I also should mention that the effects are very snazzy. Not just the greenscreen work for the car interiors, but some of the transitions from one car to another are pretty cool. Not flashy, but cool. I approve.
(Still wish Fox had sent out the full 3 hours, unfinished effects or not. If BSG waited until the final vfx and audio mix was done to send out a screener, nobody would ever review the show at all.)
I gotta admit, when I saw the original pilot, I thought the effects at the end were cool. Then I was informed they were place-holders. I felt like the biggest moron. No taste!
sarameg, I totally didn't like the effects at the end of the original pilot -- it threw me out of the moment as the trees looked computer gamey. Had no idea they were placeholders, so that's cool.
11 days..
I just read an awesome review from US Weekly.
So proud of Tim. I think I'll make the long drive to give him cookies.
(He moved far away from me, sob)
Ooh, it's the guy from "The Magic Bullet"! I met him. He was cool.
Eleven more days!
That be an awesome trailer.
