Wow, from executive producers McG AND SimonWest!!! Two icons of quality productions. Let's hope that something good comes out of this union.

I managed to see a copy of the pilot a little while back and the show seems pretty interesting. They sort of just plop you right into the world and hope that you connect the dots as to who these people are, how they came about doing this 'job', and what their relationships are as well, so that leaves a little bit of mystery about what's going on (but not really in the best way though). Jackie Earl Haley's character is just odd... it feels like someone took the tough guy badass elements of Rorschach, and combined them with the geekiness a librarian. It's kind of like a very odd characterization of 'speak softly and cary a big stick.' The pilot also features Tricia Helfer, who I love seeing on screen, but it's still slightly awkward to see her as anyone other than Number Six.

Unfortunately, the show just has that type of feel that it's not going to make it. Like I said, it's an interesting concept, but it feels like it lacks a really strong hook. Hopefully the show can chug past the pilot and first few episodes and last into a full season at least, so that we can really figure out who these people are, instead of getting bogged down in the somewhat disposable serial and procedural elements of the show.

show will not last

Agreed, and why the fuck are they not up-playing the fact that they have Jack Earle Haley in their cast? For a show that seems as terrible as this, they should at least cater to the geek audience so that we may recommend this show (if it's any good) to everyone else. But whatevs, we'll see how this pans out.

i think cap american can't be e teenager or a young rookie soldier...
think about this...tony stark is in middle 30-40
bruce banner its the same...
now tell me ....how one little boy its going to comand a group were is: one genius of technology, one genius of biotechnology, one god of thunder, etc...?
besides when cap was freeze, he was a tons of missions in his back.
so....mark valley its perfect for the rol
PD: he was a real soldier (in middle east), and has the face and the charm to be the perfect soldier.

What the hell? Wrong topic?

Im a fan of the Comic. And this aint it. The Human Target becomes the person he is protecting. He mimics all of thier nuances, habits, and behaviors, to trick the would be killer into thinking he is thier target and when the killer shows up he kills them. He has reconstructed his face to look like the target so often that he forgot how he really looks. He is not a traditional bodyguard as that clip would lead you to believe.


This clip is wack. Ima check out the show because Im a fan but this clip is wack.

JEH and Emerson from Pushing Daises....im in

Ummmm...anybody else catch the Wilhelm scream in there? Happens at about 0:33. It never fails...

What the hell, Jackie Earl Haley looks like Geraldo Rivera in that awful photo. This promo is realy dissapointing and makes the show look like utter shit. Too bad, it looks like it's got some good actors in it too. Won't last more than a few episodes, I garauntee it.

Anyone remember when they tried to do this as a tv show back in the early 90s? They were hoping it would be the next MacGyver. Didn't last very long though.

And now I have to read the comic
