So far the powers that be have shared a few different trailers with us for the show. The main trailer came out a while back and since then there have been two others released as well, the Feel promo and the Partners promo
( Read more... )
I really want to say both! I went Partners because I love the dynamic it shows between them. I hadn't seen Feel before! It's a great promo and makes me even more excited!!
Predictably I've gone for Partners too - although I love them both. I just like the potential for buddy cop funtimes and them getting all close and 'us against the world'. *happy sigh*
I've read through the comments first and it seems I'm going to appear shallow here, not that that's a problem, it's fandom after all :D
So I loved the original trailer and it was what got me salivating both for Karl in his tac gear and thigh holster, but also for the sheer delight of having a show of this genre back on our screens. SGA is my all time favourite show and that will never change, but I need something and Almost Human is going to take care of me in the best ways. Two intense characters with well explored backstories, action, futuristic/sci fi setting and lots of room for the show to expand and keep it's audience hooked.
Out of these two trailers, definitely the Partners one, it gives a sense of how it's going to be for the guys, how they will follow each other anywhere and how they're likely to become the most important thing in each other's lives, giving them a solid base to heal and grow from as the series unfolds.
That was a tough choice because I loved them both - and damn, way to make "I was made to feel" sound like a damned engraved invitation - but had to go with Partners for the glimpse of the character dynamics I'm hoping we have in store. Two flawed, rejected men banding together in reluctantly snarky fashion and going up against the world is like fucking catnip to me. *rolls around in it*
One of the things I like best about the developing dynamic is that it's mutual. Dorian isn't just there to help John adjust to his machine side, and John isn't just there to teach Dorian how to be human. If anything, Dorian seems a lot more confident than John at the outset. (I heard an interview with Karl where he said, intriguingly, that Kennex isn't really "himself" at the outset, so that will be interesting to see develop.
Absolutely, they have each other's backs and that connection will be tested I'm sure, but will only get stronger as they learn how the other works.
*licks her lips* Just what I need, another TDH on the fringes of society, who doesn't know where he fits, is loyal, strong yet broken and emotionally reclusive. Sounds like someone else I know :)
Let's hope the writers know what they're doing and ignore what the fans want so that the character is given his chance to tell his story...
Yes, I so agree with this. John is damaged and a bit stressed out, whereas Dorian *seems* like he's so much chilled out. I wonder what his defects are going to be. lol

It does have some great dynamic and glad I could share something you had not seen before.

Well, I went for "feel", someone had to I suppose. :D
Also, I couldn't help responding to "I was made to feel" with "is that an invitation?"
Double entendre will be my downfall, yes, thanks for pointing it out.

"I was made to feel" with "is that an invitation?"
*laughs* and I say hell yes it is an invite.

As you say the potential just shines through in that one.
