The Black Donnellys
Yes, Zee, you read it right... I caved and... I watched the damn thing. And all because of this. It's amaizing what big of a part can one song have in a TVshow nowadays.
After watching that I cave and watched the whole episode, which was pretty good, actually, and exactly what I expected it to be after reading about it online for almost 3 months now. Don't have any preferences, not even sure if I'm gonna watch more then 3-4 episodes of it, but, yeah Olivia Wilde and Jonathan Tucker might have a say in that one. :P Seriously, I can't and don't want to commit myself to another TVshow and from what I see, this one might not have a long life after all. But, my god, how much influence can the music have in my TVshow preferences!?! *coughLexandmecough*
The song you heard in that preview and in the original TBD pilot is "Rebellion (Lies, Lies)" by The Arcade Fire, but since the band didn't agree to licence the song to the producers, they had to re-use the overplayed "Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol. Which, in this case, totally sucked. Rebellion pwns in that scene. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the biggest SP fans out there, but my opinion, as of many, is: "Open Your Eyes" should've been ours in the first place - OTH crowd - and used as the 401 coda for which it would've been a perfect fit, but the TBD people took the OTH road and recycled music - which is kinda bad for a pilot show to do nowadays - and look what they got. If I was to watch the episode that aired on NBC, I would've totally bitched by now about the how fast this show has got itself a fanbase to begin with, for nothing. But, I didn't. And others - the main target did. Hence, a premature death of it, IMO.
Well, okey, I'm not an autority in this... so maybe this review might help too.

ETA: I'm still on my JLs high (imagine the speculations now)... and on hiatus. :P
ETA 2: my Joy links to SendSpace are all gone. :( IDK why, but they're gone. Do they like expire or something? Eh, SS sucks right now. I think I need to take my business elsewhere.
ETA 3: Does FF work for anyone?
ETA 4: Yeah, joined the crowd, sorry. But it is kinda fun, though, I sucked at everyone's tests.
