A Month in and What Do I think of What I've Seen - Sci-Fi/Thriller
by cokebeard on Comments
can't have this and not start with Lost. it had crazy cliffhangers and not the what have you been doing for the last 3 month garbage you tend to have to sift through. it picked right back up by adding a couple new cast members. and having another group of survivors on the other side of the island. i really like hurley and it was nice to see his back story built up more after waiting 2/3 to 3/4 of last season to learn anything about him. i really have no idea where there going to go with this bunker plot line. especially with that computer. i did think it was a little out there that the guy in the bunker was from jack's past or anyones past for that matter. it's an interesting ride, but i am less interested now than last year. thus far i give it a 8.5 out of 10. and now a whole slew of newbies. i'll start with the remake. which one is that, you ask? yeah they're all pretty much remakes. i was referring to Night Stalker. i don't know much about the original series so there will be no comparisons here. it's so x-filesish that i have a tough time getting by it. the believer and the unbeliever left to coincide with the crazy world around them. if i can get past that, the show is pretty entertaining. until last night that is. would have been better suited for a 2 parter than trying to stuff all that into 45 minutes. it came across as pushed on you instead of letting it develop. like perry and the whole i figure it out that it's a secret society and i might be in one. like a wise man once told me "any sci-fi on tv is better than none". but that doesn't fit here since this is good. but is will fit one soon. thus far i give it a 8 out of 10. don't be afraid to go in the water, but do be afraid of poor acting and writing in Surface. i wanted this to be good, but the cgi just can't blind me to the plot holes and absolutely terrible acting. lake bell was terrific in boston legal, but left her s.a.g. card at home when she showed up the set of this steamy pile. it doesn't stop there. the 2 boys hiding the lizard ard horrible, but a crap ton better than the hacks they got to play the sister and her cronies. the crazy guy who lost his brother started good, but took a nice little nose dive himself. on a side note it is nice to see Boris "The Bullet Dodger" in something new since batman begins. i still watch it because there's nothing else on and also for the "twins". i give this a curve saving 5.5 out of 10. now with the first of 2 aliens attack shows, Invasion. i've been getting ripped up and down for liking this. some people think it is too slow. well they're wrong. i like a good story to develop. i don't need a bunch of cgi garbage poured into my eyes like some. the only thing i'm worried about is this build up and the delivery sucks. then all the critics would be right. i don't like that, cause i want to be right. here there is low cgi but good acting. the little girl that plays rose is wonderful. eddie cibrian does a fine job being a ranger and most importantly a father. and really can you think of anyone other than christopher walkin that naturally looks as creepy as william fichtner. this is a good show that has to contend with l&o and csi:ny for its ratings. thus far i give it a 8 out of 10. and it's buddy Threshold. i caught this late. i actually only saw the last 30 minutes of the 2 hour premiere and subsequent episodes. i am very intrigued by this and love the cast. i'm not a trekkie but i was a star trek fan and am happy to see brent spiner in this. my favorite character is ramsey. i can't believe his name is peter dinklage, how f&%#ing cruel. this seems to be a close ended idea. i can't wait to see how they plan to get around this. i hope this isn't just going to be them hunting a different guy down every week. it probably won't. thus far i give it a 8 out of 10.
