Again, I think it was a differnece in intial expectations (I had none).<BR/><BR/>Anyrate, this week's episode is still sitting there on my Tivo list, and if I'm really bored this weekend, I might fire it up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-50527523424945902812007-10-03T15:34:00.000-05:002007-10-03T15:34:00.000-05:00The first thing that I came away with after whatch...The first thing that I came away with after whatching this (DVR, just yesterday) was the tell not show aspect. Good God, don't TELL me she's special, SHOW me what an evil bastard his controlling Daddy is and how refreshing her zest for life is, and I'll think "huh, that's why he digs a bartender".<BR/><BR/>I would have liked a bit more to the character, but I wouldn't forgive them taking too damn long to get to the bionics, so, as you say, I'm giving this two or three more espisodes before my mind is made up.Michael Corleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441107947600810769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-38105915740580619722007-10-03T14:33:00.000-05:002007-10-03T14:33:00.000-05:00I actually felt I went fairly easy on the episode ...I actually felt I went fairly easy on the episode as I understand that exposition was necessary, especially when talking cyborgs. I felt they tried to cram two or three episodes worth of action into a single hour of TV. <BR/><BR/>I will be watching a few more episodes, so lets check in again after the next episode.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-43679083612373484272007-10-03T00:09:00.000-05:002007-10-03T00:09:00.000-05:00I have a habit of Tivo-ing premiers, and I did it ...I have a habit of Tivo-ing premiers, and I did it with this one. So, to make a long story short, I watched it this morning while waiting for an emergency locksmith to show up because I had f'd up the latch on the front door by accidently trying to slam it shut without noticing that one of the twin's hot wheels was in the door jam.<BR/><BR/>I have to preface any review with my general theory that initial expectations greatly effect how you rate something. (I remember Roger Ebert's column a long time ago on that subject about why he had rated Revenge of the Nerds higher than some flick that ended up getting alot of Academy Award nominations.) Suffice it to say that my expectations were medium at best, and probably low.<BR/><BR/>But I liked it.<BR/><BR/>And I'm not sure I can agree with you on the anti "in medias res" philosophy. Exposition is difficult, but neccesary. Overall, it worked decently for me.<BR/><BR/>I only Tivo'd the premiere, but I'll record a couple more and give it a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
