So, I caught the 2006 Aquaman pilot. I'm a little behind the times. You know although it is more or less a Smallville remake it's too bad it didn't make it past the pilot. I kind of liked it. I guess Lou Diamond Phillips was a big enough name.
I though it was kind of funny that it was Justin Hartley playing AC but relieved. I didn't like Alan Richson. He was just too over the top for me.
Anyway, I guess Justin got in good with AlMiles because now he's a regular on Smallville. Poor guy is stuck dating Lois. They must not have liked him to much.
My apologies I digress. I was talking Aquaman. I really liked the story they were going for. I think they could have fixed the problems Smallville has now. But then again we're talking about AlMiles those two think Lana Lang is the perfect woman...I cringe at the thought!
I liked all the characters including AC. Hartley is definately a better actor than Richman. I liked the siren attack even though she reminded me Raya (Pascale Hutton) another Smallville character. I liked the watch guard on the lighthouse. The story followed pretty well with the story theyt had for him on Aqua (Smallville 504) If they could have shown Atlantis it might have been cool.
However, you can't ignore the obvious.
Authur Curry is Orin last son of Atlantis. Clark Kent is Kal El last son of Krypton.
The bad guys of the homeworld are looking for said last sons.
Eva AC's non-girlfirend type girlfriend. Chloe Clark's non-girlfirend type girlfriend. The non-girlfriends know the secret.
Was that Annette O'Toole's voiceover? If so she's the mother of both heroes. Coincidence I think not. It might not have been her but it certainly sounded like her.
Teenagers learning how to be heroes after finding out their true identity.
Fighting their destiny. Identity crisis at it's finest.
AC's McCaffery is his source of knowledge. Clark's Jor El is his source of knowledge.
Then there are the recycled extras:
Kenny Johnson AC's sheriff and Clark's bad guy of the week Lee (Smallville 502).
Adrianne Palicki AC's Siren and Clark's girlfriend of the week Kara (Smallville 322)
Denise Quiñones pilot AC saved. She wasn't Clark's anything but she was in the Vengence Chronicle with Chloe.
Amber McDonald AC's non-girlfirend type girlfriend. She played a woman named Gloria with the Green Arrow (Smallville 603).
Okay I think I'm done. I hope I wasn't too critical. I have a tendancy to do that. Enjoy!
