New Abrams/Kripke Show Preview

[penfold_x]

NBC has released a promo for the new J.J. Abrams/Eric Kripke sci-fi drama, Revolution:



Is it September yet? I'm trying really hard to keep my expectations reasonable, but I'm not sure there could be a show more finely calibrated to mash all my fannish buttons.

that might be a reason not to completely dump my cable!

Don't suppose your rabbit ears work out there?

It looks fantastic. But can I trust them to actually finish a show? They got me on Alcatraz.

[chevronsha]

well, pray there's no writers' strike and we may have some hope (Heroes)

Yes, I watched all of Alcatraz, The River, and Terra Nova. I'm a three-time loser this season.

Given this promo though... I'm inclined to go for it. I figure I should do what I can to promote good sci-fi, and hope the network doesn't bail out.

[brate7]

Mine were Alcatraz, Terra Nova, Missing, and The Finder...

Better luck next year.

I must admit; after been burned about shows I liked getting prematurely pulled, I know I'll be slow to love a show until I know it'll stick around. But I love the concept. A bunch of us were just talking about it yesterday: a mix of Dark Angel and Battlestar.

I'm putting a tiny bit of faith in Kripke and Abrams. They both came out with stuff I liked.

(fingers crossed)

for me it was shades of The Stand, Hancock and Book of Eli

[goldiebug]

can anyone say... JERICHO? But yeah, this looks great! And my losers this year were Missing, Terra Nova, Alcatraz, and not apropos of any of these shows, but darn it, I loved Pan Am! ;-)
