The only one that I saw was that horrid Flash Gordon let down. Not that I held much hope because hey, SciFi original series and they typically let me down. So I agree with you. It was absolutely terrible! A waste of money that should have gone to a second season of Dresden Files…bastards.

However, I have a soft spot for 10th Kingdom because it reminded me of everything I liked about being a kid with a vivid imagination…..minus some bitch trying to sing Queen, all though it could be argued that I was that bitch back then. 😉

My fiancee works for NBC, so I got to see all their pilot episodes like two or three months ago. I thought Bionic Woman was complete shit. Too cheesy to be taken seriously at all, but not cheesy in a way that would add camp value. Totally worthless.

I thought Chuck was a good pilot, but I’ll be impressed if they can keep it up for a whole season. The concept is one that really stretches the bounds of believability if it goes on for too long without any major changes.

One you didn’t mention was Journeyman, which looked to me like it had real promise. I thought the time travel thing was handled pretty well, and it’s one of the first TV shows I’ve seen in a while that wasn’t completely crammed full of cliches. They could have totally fucked up the whole wife not believing him bit, but they solved it quickly and smartly in the first episode. Awesome.

I haven’t seen Journeyman yet.

And Chuck, I think, can go the distance. The twist at the end gives it the long-running plotjuice the show needs, and there have been more ludicrous show concepts. (See: “Vampire Slayer, Buffy the.”)

Some of these I thought were just you being funny, and I’m horrified to find out they’re real shows.

The only good thing about the Flash Gordon series is that they released the Flash Gordon DVD. But seriously, how did Sci-Fi actually think they could go from near porn sensuality, a Queen Soundtrack and Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless to… whatever the hell this was.

Hmm.

I have high hopes for Bionic Woman. The trailer looks decent, esPECially when Starbuck shows up. I really hope it doesn’t suck. Seriously. I was planning my fall around it. (I reallyreallyreally miss Battlestar Galactica.)

Is Journeyman the one with the guy from Rome? That one looks interesting.

Hey, any way you could let us know what networks these shows are on? I’ve only heard of a couple of them.
