So, who watched No Ordinary Family?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
quester, I'm sure that the fickle gods of network programming will take care of that problem soon enough.
I liked Chiklis and Benz quite a lot in No Ordinary Family and was kind of surprised that the plot didn't go through a section where they hid their powers from each other and the kids, et cetera. But the kid characters were from Painful Cliché Central Casting.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The kid who played Dash was particularly awful, though the Violet actress at least has potential.
I like the principal characters and their sidekicks, but I feel the animated film did a much better job of introducing the villains than this live action prequel.
And I can't wait to see if they get Linda Hunt as Edna Mode.

Art Crawl!!!
That would rock.
I thought it was fun but not earthshattering.

I'm content to keep referring to the kids as Violet and Dash.
(Who played The Thing in the Fantastic Four movies -- it wasn't Chiklis, was it?)

Compassionately intolerant
Yes. Yes, it was.
The Incredibles comparison made it hard for me to enjoy NOF. It will need to diverge more before I can commit. I love the original too much to be loyal to an also ran. Even IF they get Linda Hunt to be Enda Mode.
