aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!I can’t wait!!!!
I’m not watching any more ABC dramas, no matter how good. Whenever I get hooked on an ABC show they cancel it after a year- or less.
I can’t help feeling this is going to suck and I hope they cancel it. I think ABC may be having second thoughts as Kenneth Johnson (the creator of V) has a V movie in the pipeline. Marc Singer and Jane Badler are secured for the Kenneth Johnson movie V project.
Truthfully, what I saw reminded me instantly of a Gene Roddenberry TV series that ran from 1997 to 2002 called Earth: Final Conflict.
Hey, I saw the original series and I can’t understand why they’d remake it because seriously, there were some darned good actors in the original that they just won’t have in this episode.
No one can replace Marc Singer, Faye Grant, Robert Englund, or Jane Badler!
I really don’t understand this insane infatuation with remaking successful TV shows. It doesn’t work! Hollywood needs to stop remaking old stuff. No more Star Trek remakes, no more remakes! Enough already!
There are some really great books out there that could be turned into TV series, so I say Hollywood needs to pick up a book and start reading!
How about Kay Scarpetta? Make it a series, that way you can be truer to the books than a movie ever could!
There’s the In Death series by J.D. Robb, or what about Anne Perry’s Thomas Pitt series? There’s also Tad Williams too. There’s tons of great series of books out there waiting to be read that would make great original TV programming!
Hollywood and TV people need to pick up a book and read!
