Yes, I thought that the slow start was because of the number of characters and they haven't even introduced everyone. (I was wondering where Greg Grunberg went.)
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I was underwhelmed by the screener, except for Hiro, and for a twist I really didn't see coming at the end.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They fucked up the ending twist in the broadcast version by extending it a few seconds and adding an unnecessary cliffhanger. Grr.

I really liked the twist. I still hate Milo Venwhateverlia, he needs to shower and get a haircut.

But it was a two hour pilot that got chopped right? And Grunberg got sent to the back half for time - so that might explain some of the pacing isseus I had. But I liked it.
And I love that idea.
Loved the Japanese guy. He's my new hero.
I wanted more wide angles though. Wide angles of the plains with one small person in some corner. Alright, I wanted a superman homage. Fine, I said it. But I still wanted some better visual for one small person against the world. Alone. Maybe it's a comic book thing.
It better perform. Word is they're a million over on EVERY episode so far. 5 deep or so.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think that NBC/Universal is really banking on future DVD sales.

Alright, I wanted a superman homage. Fine, I said it.
Maybe it's because I know what Colin's voice sounds like, but that was almost water all over the keyboard.
Must find time to actually watch Heroes tonight...

Okay, it totally makes sense that it was a two hour pilot cut to one hour.
It felt like that.
