That's true; I'd forgotten that. Cylon blood, Hera's special, her blood cells project. Eh, why not. I survived Summers' blood, I can survive this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
NBC.com says March 15th at 8/7c.
Which I just realized puts it opposite TAR, ugh. (My DVR can record 2 channels at once, but I'd hate for anyone to have to choose!)

Yeah, she did. Though... really? How'd she know?
You know, I didn't realize I was mystified by this until you mentioned this. I had just sort of assumed that she was hearing the communications between Boomer and the CiC, but it was confusing as to where she actually was and if the information we were hearing was just being overlaid onto her scene, or if she was hearing it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the ads for "Kings" are really bad.
I'm interested because I recognize a couple of the actors in the ads, but NBC fucked UP the promotion of the show unlike any I've seen in awhile.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Roslin shared the visions with Caprica, Athena and Hera and she did have Hera blood, but it has been quite awhile.
I think she was just tuned in enough to Hera and maybe still taking the vision inducing juice to sense when something was wrong.

I'm really intrigued by the concept for Kings, what with the alternate-universe/modern setting and the Shakespearean story-devices. I was flashing on Baz Lurhman's Romeo + Juliet.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
The worldbuilding in this show is astonishingly strong. The writing is solid, the characters well-drawn, and the acting is good across the board. And there's really nothing else like it on TV right now.
Huh. I saw a note somewhere talking about it--I wonder if it was on John Rogers' blog, since ita saw it too.
That Ian McShane is on the cast speaks well for it, but the marketing is exactly not the sort of thing to get me to tune in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Suela, that's where I saw the rec.

Richard III with Ian McKellen, for me, once I found out the premise.

Do you think explaining the alternate universe thing would turn off more people than on? Because it piqued my interest mightily. Before knowing that, I thought it was a story of an American soldier earning the indebtedness of a European monarch. And that wasn't doing the show many favours.

Art Crawl!!!
I could tell it was an AU America thing from the ads.
I must be the market!

From those one or two NBC spots? How?
