Teek posted:Designated Survivor looks good, but I have to question why the government would keep the "designated survivor" in the same city as everyone else, surely they should be in a completely different state. It doesn't matter either way I'm guessing within the context of the show, but it still seems dumb. Guess they just really want him to look at the window and see the destroyed capital building. Since 9/11 the actual designated survivors tapped have to be close to the White House. Before that it was just whatever you normally did keep doing it.

Time After Time seems to be a bit of a mess. If it was up to me, the line, "Can you really shoot me?" would always be followed up with a shot to the forehead. Of the writer.

For a second there I thought it was Aaron Ashmore in Conviction. But then it's Shawn Ashmore? I didn't know he decided to come slum it on TV like his brother.

Conviction looks pretty bad. They cancelled Carter for that? Designated Survivor looks better than expected, though it seems like it would be a short-run series. Speachless actually looks really good. Like possibly Modern Family's first 4ish seasons good. I might actually give this one a try. Notorious looks like it'll devolve into stupid relationship drama. The Imaginary Mary part of Imaginary Mary looks terrible. Shame because Jenna Elfman should be in something good. The rest of it looks pretty poopy.

The Lobotomy Kid posted:If they recast Time After Time to star Paul F Tompkins it would be the greatest TV show ever. I wonder if they'll get David Warner and Malcolm McDowell to cameo, it's not like either of them is hard to get. Actually watching the trailer now it looks like Sleepy Hollow only without the batshit mythology that made that series so surprisingly good for the first season.

Designated Survivor looks really good. Time After Time not so much, but the original movie was so good I have a hard time comparing any remake to it without the remake falling up short.

Did they change the first name of Atwell's character in Conviction? Previously in the summary and on IMDB, it was "Carter Morrison", now it's "Hayes Morrison". (Actually, it's still "Carter Morrison" on IMDB.)

It's definitely Hayes in the trailer.

I am not saying there isn't anything wrong with that, as Buffy the Vampire Slayer was way better then the movie it was based on, but I dunno how well a Lethal Weapon or Time After Time movie are going to be compared to the original. Look how quickly the Rush Hour tv show lasted!

Yeah, it's apparently 8 episodes in, I could've sworn it was only 4 or 5. Still on the air as on tonight, according to TV Guide, and is surprisingly not terrible, but I won't miss it and I don't think anyone else will either.

So, have some crimes of the week but have an arc throughout about something big, like a drug ring or something like that. A homicide here, a robbery there, busting a drug lab, eventually relating them all together to the mayor or something by the end.

Downward Dog sounds like the craziest and stupidest drat premise, but if anyone can save it Tolman can. Designated Survivor could be fun, no real hope for the rest.

It's a sad state of affairs for a "plus size" actress if you follow up Fargo Season 1 with Downward Dog. I'm not sure what's worse--talking dog or talking CGI hallucination. Time travel looks stupid, President Bauer looks like another pretentious sandbox for Kiefer, and Atwell deserves better than a whacky procedural where her character learns to fly straight. American Housewife is going to be a slam dunk if it stays paint-by-numbers. The rest looks pretty forgettable. Only stand-out is Speechless. The disability community is pretty stoked for it, and based on the trailer, I'm hopeful. Pixelante fucked around with this message at 05:04 on May 20, 2016 |

I watched the Conviction trailer and was completely distracted by the guy playing the "sexy nemesis District Attorney", in a 'who the gently caress IS that guy?' way. Turns out I remember him as the guy who played Tag, Rachel's lightweight assistant for a season or so of Friends.

I would much rather watch Atwell tear it up as an adventuring, out of control, somehow not British, former first daughter. The setup is much more interesting than the payoff. Pixelante posted:Only stand-out is Speechless. The disability community is pretty stoked for it, and based on the trailer, I'm hopeful. Agree with this.

The only one that interests me is Still Star-Crossed (bad title tho). I'm a sucker for period dramas with violence and evil families scheming and sex. I also like that they are moving on to the aftermath of Romeo & Juliet instead of just retelling it again. Designated Survivor looks like it could be good, but the genre isn't really my thing so I probably won't watch it. I am absolutely stunned at how lovely the Conviction trailer is compared to the synopsis.
