Oooooh.

I am unsure how I feel about this random First People development. I mean, alternate universes weren't enough?

I'd lie to see a Walternate and a Fauxlivia, etc from a THIRD alternate universe step in...

It could be like that episode with Worf returning from the bat'leth tournament on Forcas III.

I just caught "Red: Werewolf Hunter" (I don't recall discussion of the movie here, but maybe I missed it).

This was an entertaining movie, but it wasn't very good in terms of quality. No surprise, it was a Syfy movie, but I thought it would at least be decent. I thought it was pretty choppy (like additional scenes were left on the cutting room floor or whole pages of the script were tossed out). It seems like the movie's budget was very limited.

I am not sure how to interpret the ending. On the one hand, the ending could explain why the characters behaved so stupidly throughout. For example, what was the point of arming the roof of a house if you are not going to turn the home into a fortress and make sure no one could enter from the ground floor?

If there are several werewolf attackers, shouldn't there be a more effective set of weapons than a long distance gun that shoots spears and needs reloading after each shot? Technologically, I thought we handled this issue post-Civil War.

Why couldn't there be landmines? Or a tall silver fence? Or lob explosives that might slow them down if it doesn't kill?

We both agreed that if Felicia Day hadn't been in it, we'd have turned it off within the first 20 minutes.

Like the scene where they explain why the eldest daughter is called "Red"? They never explained that! (I know why, but only because it was explained in the promo material)

can you explain it to me? I was left wondering that as well!

I won't promise I would have turned it off if Day hadn't been in it. I love werewolf fighting.

I'm into it; it's weird. I know that as a JJ Abrams product it will probably lead to nothing sensical, but I've been waiting for them to show up ever since they started having "First People" in the list of stuff in the opening (which I think it only is on the Red Side?).

And I can't wait for the Olivia/Faux-livia throw-down. I am especially wondering if Faux-livia is going to go off the reservation; she seems to be developing sympathy toward our world.

I'll watch pretty much anything with werewolves in it, so I probably would have stuck around until the end even if Kavan Smith hadn't been the male lead. But as I said on TwoP, I'd really like to see that movie remade with the same cast and maybe the same premise, if not full script, but about 5x the budget, Greg Cannom doing practical creature effects instead of their video game-esque CGI, and Todd Holland directing.

One thing I'll actually give them kudos for (though it may be a matter of Felicia Day having to do her own stunts because they couldn't afford stunt doubles), the fight scenes where Red was hand-to-hand with werewolves actually seemed realistic. She was getting thrown around by stronger opponents, didn't recover instantly, and her wins looked like they came from skill and craftiness rather than her being some Xena-esque figure who could defy physics.
