Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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 quite like the idea of Tin Man myself. I mean, I'm rather a sucker for retellings/reimaginings/revisions of folk tales and fairytales, however well or badly executed they may be, and althought Baum's books aren't technically that - well, in effect they are. Um. Plus - Alan Cumming! Always delightful.
I hope it doesn't suck beyond the telling of it.
The one review I read said that "Tin Man" was inappropriately named. That is, the "tin man" isn't even close to being a major character in this mini-series and the reviewer couldn't quite understand why this was named such.
lalala I'm not reading the reviews because I would like to enjoy it. If it can not suck enough that I can mock it while still having fun watching, that would be enough.

but, but! I wants lots of Neal McDonough!

I watched one of the behind-the-scenes on SciFi Pulse and they were saying that the essence of the story could be found in the Tin Man, and they didn't elaborate, but I took that to mean that "heart" was the main theme.

Either that or "rust."
I broke down and read one review. And it was good! [link]
But in Zooey Deschanel, who plays D.G., it has a heroine who's almost as winsome and likable as Judy Garland's original Dorothy, and even when it gets carried away with its special effects, it always scurries back to the characters, who are the best reason to keep watching.
My #1 concern is not liking the characters. I can forgive lots if I like the characters. I'll be able to watch tonight, but the rest of it will be delayed. How long it is delayed determined by tonight.
Yeah, I've got the TiVo set to watch the 11PM showing, and if I like it enough, I'll set it to watch the next night's.
Damn, apparently the December 12th episode of Pushing Daisies is the last one they shot.
