jokemaster Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 I dunno if anyone watches this show, but it's FREAKIN' AWESOME! It takes place in real-time so it's boring in parts, but it's exciting, the episodes usually have this awesome cliffhanger. Like one ended in mid-car crash b/c the hour was up! recmmended to anyone who likes thrillers, suspense, dramas, and are fans of Kiefer Sutherland.
--ZeeMan-- Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 definitely the director's a genius. i haven't watched too many of the episodes, but i do like the layout and design of a 'season'
Leper Messiah Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 i always find it a tad strange that in these scenarios something dramatic and cliffhanger-esque happens on the hour every hour
jon_hill987 Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 never watched it coz i figured it would make no sense to come in half way through, I will watch any re-runs though (uk terestrial, no sky)

Captain Wilson Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 1st seasion was astouningaly good 2nd crap 3rd i didnt bother with
BLG Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Great show! keeps u begging for the next episode. Always ends with a cliffhanger:D man i got so angry when each episode where over But i actually hope they dont make a 4th. It would be to much...
LightNinja Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 not bad not bad, i've seen the first 12 ours so i wont read this thread bcuz of guys who say the final of the serie
Leper Messiah Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Originally posted by jokemaster Actually, it does feel very erm, what's the word I'm looking for....believable, since it feels natural. in your opinion, in mine its a little odd
jokemaster Posted November 14, 2004 Author Posted November 14, 2004 Originally posted by Leper Messiah in your opinion, in mine its a little odd Unlike, say, the princess being held in the same space station the Falcon lands on? And R2 finding her there.
toms Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 The idea is great. The exectution is patchy. On the whole i liked the first series, but it went through definate peaks and troughs. It started great, then got really dull in th middle. Then got really good. Then lost it a bit. then ended well. They also have a hard time finding things to occupy characters while the other characters are up to things (Mom stopped by police for half an hour so that kiefer can have some adventure, then he gets delayed while she has her adventure.). The second series had lost a bit of the originality factor, but they had definately improved the "flow" of the whole thing, with less "stop-start" sections and a more even flow thoughout. The daughter running around pointlessly for the whole series got a bit dull though. In their wisdom BBC decided not to go with the third series, so i haven't seen it... but i'll probably pick it up on dvd if i see it cheap. ------------- I was thinking a few nights ago that they should go with a Memento meets 24 type series.... have each episode be set BEFORE the last one, so that you trace the downfall of jack bauer or something.
Sivy Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Originally posted by --ZeeMan-- the director's a genius filming in real-time isn't new. anyone remember the film 'nick of time' starring johnny depp? that was filmed in real-time. still its a very good premise for a TV show. the first one was good, although slow at times. i haven't seen the 2nd or 3rd one yet.
jokemaster Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 I'm starting to think this show is a love it or hate it thing.
Leper Messiah Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Originally posted by jokemaster Unlike, say, the princess being held in the same space station the Falcon lands on? And R2 finding her there. i didnt say it was bad, just odd
jokemaster Posted November 15, 2004 Author Posted November 15, 2004 Originally posted by Leper Messiah i didnt say it was bad, just odd I'm not saying you said it was bad, I'm saying that without coincidences there would be almost no fiction action-adventure, hell even comedy, movies/books/etc.
