Because I demanded it, a post about Joss's newest show...

It's not bad. The acting was generally good and the production values were strong and it was well paced. But there was not much here to hook me, and it didn't really feel like a Joss Whedon script 90% of the time. The Plot of the Week was weak and pedestrian. If anyone else were in charge, I might not watch again. Then again, if anyone else where in charge, I wouldn't have tried it at all. The premise could get stronger, or it could crash and burn.

But as pilots go, it's not the pilot for Lost. Or Buffy. It's not even the pilot for Smallville. And while I know you can't judge a series on its pilot, sometimes it hints at the future. The hint I got was "work in progress - check again later."

I'm really very curious what the pilot would have looked like had Fox not made him rewrite it.

Part of me hopes that maybe we'll see/hear some of it on the dvd.

Speaking of Lost, I am still not seeing any commentary from the Alex front!

*g* And admittedly Matthew Fox has had his show stealing moments. Right now I think it's just a cast of show stealers.

Perrineau is a good actor, but he's a little too...theatrical to pass off as that character. I mean, some times his performance came off as genuine and sometimes....not so much.

At least that episode was full of canon fodder for her! Thanks for throwing me a bone even though...you just killed off one of my rp characters. :|

I thought it was good. But not thrilling? Not really Joss, either. I will give it more time, though, because that's the kind of gal I am. I have to say that I am enjoying Fringe much more as the rookie creepy mythology show.
