Oh, that's right. Thanks.
They should just have him speaking in his native accent. I bet it would help.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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.

What, David isn't American either? I probably shouldn't be surprised.
Speaking of casting, I loved that Wes Studi is the general!! I actually didn't recognize him at first--I just kept thinking, "Hey, I know that guy" and then it finally occurred to me who it was. Oh, and Weasel BIL Corporate Guy is suffering from some serious typecasting; I see him, I immediately think he's nefarious.

I remember him as the Dad in the father/daughter racing team in Drive.
I think that David is Australian.

Oh, that's right. I forgot he was in Drive (he was good there, too).
TWOP forum people are complaining about how over-the-top the butterfly crown was at the end, but I thought it fit with the whole Biblical signs and portents thing--the Bible is never subtle when it comes to portents.

Wes Studi and Ian McShane? That's some fairly awesome casting.
Ah, well. I'll probably follow P-C's lead here: I currently have way too many shows to watch.

The thing about Kings is that it was a bit TOO faithful to the Biblical referent. I mean down to the naming of Silas' kids! It was just a bit too on the nose for me.
I think the pilot dragged in spots. I'm interested, but I think they need to slow down a bit because I didn't expect Goliath to be a non-entity this quickly.

Is Kings available online somewhere now?

Our wings are not tired.
I think I'll wait and see how the ratings are and how many of my friends are watching and talking about it.
We got home too late to watch, but it seemed a good plan to wait and see what the thoughts were about it first anyway. I can't say I need another show to watch.
