D.J. said: The painter dealt with it the only way he knew how, by drugs (or said something to that effect)

But the drugs actualy made him (or at least allowed him to) use his ability. Remember, he said, "I don't remember painting any of these things" which in itself doesn't mean anything, after all, the Blonde girl doesn't remember using her uber-destroy effect. However, he admittied that he was drug induced when he did it.

I thought I would like the show better than I did (maybe I had too high of hopes for it). I think they showed too much. I feel like I've got the whole set-up now (mysterious science guys, next stage in the evolution, girl adopted by the "bad guy" who freaked out the cab driver, who knows all these people and got the apartment that already had the information in it all set up, but the mysterious previous tennent was not mentioned, etc., etc., etc., Man you could have had six episodes to do all that! It would be less muttled (confusing) and more dramatic, slowly letting it out. It would also allow for a little more (not too much, though...save some for later) character development. Allow the audience just a little more time to get to familiarize. But that's just me. We'll see how it progresses. I was a little dizzy from information overload.

My internet is at work, did anyone go online and talk to the producers after the show??
 
You guys got me interested in seeing this TV show now... I'm going to have to torrent the thing to view later...

You must not have been paying that much attention then... The previous 'tennant' was his father, who was apparently killed by the mysterious 'bad guy'. And the cab driver doesn't know anybody. He just knows that somebody is in New York, and that somebody is supposed to be the genesis person. He now suspects the 'fly boy' as being that person.

It seems like there was some brief pain. She seemed to wince a bit once she jumped into the fire, but then again, that could have been her looking around and trying to focus.

I got the impression she was adapting to the smoke inhalation.


I'm a little worried that they are going too overboard with the destiny thing. I like how they're slowly coming together, and I like how they are linking the characters in odd ways (the "fly boy" that is the nurse to the fortune telling artists girlfriend type thing) but did you see the previews for next week? There's a comic book about Hiro already out? Unless its done by the art guy, I'm afraid they may be makeing too much destiny in the mix and that can start to get dull if you ask me.

If the guy has no other job but painting, then it's a good bet he would have to do something like comic work to facilitate a place to live. Or it could be another guy, altogether.




I don't know if anyone caught this. But did anyone notice how they spoiled the premier, but nto the series as a whole? Generally, when you see that many cool clips piled together in a bunch of previews, it's a long drawn process before we ever get around to seeing any of it. But we got to see all of it in the premier. Which means, we can only speculate on the rest of the series.

I don't know about you, but I think that's a good thing. I mean, even with all the spoiler previews, we really had no idea how the overall plot was going to come together. Even with all those cools scenes, it could have been strung together really badly. But the plot was engaging even though we knew a handful of scenes, and they still managed to totally head fake us with the ending. It was actually a very satisfying premier.

Just a side note. I noticed they re-edited the painter scene where his girlfriend comes to see him. In the actual episode, he shows here a picture of the burning bus, then the newspaper pic of the same incident and the she puts here hand over her mouth, In the trailers, he shows here the picture of the bus, then the paper, but she tries to rationalize it for a second. Then he shows her a picture he painted that morning of her walking in through the front door in the exact same dress, boots and hairstyle she's in now. Then she puts her hand over her mouth. Thinking it over, that was probably a wise edit, not just in the way of time compression.

It's a little thing, but little things like that impress me. It shows me that they are paying attention to detail.
 
I forgot to bump this Monday. Did anyone catch the second episode. They threw us yet another curve ball ending. If you missed it you can see it again here: Don't Look Back




EPISODE 2 SPOILER WARNING: (Highlight to read)

Hiro is apparently more powerful then we realized. And the buck apparently doesn't stop with just these characters from the first episode. I completely forgot about the Policeman from the trailers. And I'm not sure I want to know who's doing the Freezing/Brainapping thing! :eek:ldeek

Ole' girl with the reflection problem is going to need some serious therapy after this is all over. I don't think gangsters should be her primary concern at the moment. Except maybe to keep from slaughtering them. (Anyone notice her son is the genius boy from My Wife and Kids and the interpreter from Lady in the Water? This kid can't ever get into a normal family.)

Oh, I soooo don't trust this broad with short haircut in the Indian professor's apartment. Looks like a setup to me.

And yes, being a Cheerleader is hard tortuous work: [ame]http://www.metacafe.com/watch/235946/stunt_gone_wrong/[/ame] Don't worry, she's fine. ... Hmmm.....

OH MY DEAR SWEET LORD!

Hey, no fair commenting on how cool an episode is when the west coast hasn't even seen it yet...
one more hour...........
 
Gaaah! Why didn't I check this forum before? I had seen the trailers, but I try to avoid getting hooked on some of these shows. Shows about the supernatural rarely come off well on network TV. Now I have to try and TiVo it and play catch-up.

It would have been nice if I caught this thread yesterday instead of tonight at 930p.

Heheh. At least I didn't blurt out the ending. :D

but now I'm a bit confused. oh well, we'll see what happens.

Thanks. Checking now.


AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Deal or No Deal! I looked right at Howie's head. (Sorry. That show really bugs me for some reason.)

Whoops. I am getting firewalled. Guess I will have to wait until I get home. Are they replaying this episode? I can't find it on the NBC website.



edited for grammer and intelligence.
 
You know, I have a feeling this episode is going to be darker then the last ones. Their touting another shocking ending. I don't know what could top that last one. Well, anyway, less then ten minutes to go!
 
Wow. Just wow. It's not so much that the endings are shocking. It's that they are never what you expect. Remember....
