I may be going insane but I couldn't seem to find a thread for this so I thought I'd start one :unsure:


Just watched the first few episodes of this and I'm quite enjoying it so far :thumbsup: Thanks to Alex for supplying it for me :D

Trouble is I watched 3 episodes last night and now they are all mixed up in my head so I think I better watch them again before I can post anything more specific.

I didn't notice any Buffy references Alex, where were they?

Episode 1 - The New girl in Town

An FBI team specialising in Serial killers take on a new partner after the body of their former colleague is discovered.

Brilliant way to introduce the team, the way they w**k and the nightmare cases that they have to take on.

Gritty story with a great twist, you just know its too easy.

First impressions Rebecca is strong and vunerable at the same time and superbly played. Paul has the teams back - he is the conscience of the group which is quite necessary when w**king with Webb - evil boss.

Not much of Danny or Melody in this ep but we get an idea of how the team works.

Pretty gruesome in parts but fairly compulsive.

Angel Reference - The killer's badge on his overalls - Wolfram Security ;)

:thumbsup: Glad you enjoyed it by the way Karen :thumbsup:

Creepy stuff eh :fear:

Episode 2 - Old Wounds

I don't think I saw a reference in this one, I can't remember.

Rebecca putting herself in danger yet again, a pattern here and I did actually believe that it was Webb who engineered it until the end.

Not a team player this girl :lol: her performance again is amazing, I keep thinking I have seen her before but can't place her. Again it concentrates on Paul, Rebecca and Webb with a twisted storyline.

I knew it was the retired cop when they went back to the house but still very dark atmosphere to it.

Edit: I liked the way they eached pitched cases at the start too and that Paul automatically realised that Rebecca was trying to help him get his case.

Episode 3 - Pre-Filer

Really good episode, a serial killer who attacks potential serial killers.

Yuck at the father Roger Comack, defending a would be child molester/potential killer.

Adam Baldwin has a great moment with the kid and the demonstration of how hold an imaginary gun

:lol:

Rebecca has the right instincts again, because of her past?

The Buffy ref is the title of the show at the movies - Once More With Feeling ;)

Oh and the cat - Angel - where's Angel

Rebecca in danger yet again, :o at Roger driving past the girl at the end :no: showing that the killer had a point, the police wouldn't do anything until a crime had been commited and by then an innocent life may be taken.

Was it clear cut that he really was the bad guy, tough choice

Spoilers !!!!!!!!!!!









Episode 4 - Everything Nice

Good episode, not as frightening as the others but creepy girl or what.

When she first put on her act in interview room I felt, could she have really done it, a girl that age :o

The whole argument about are people born evil seems to be answered here, yes

:lol: @ Melody trying to climb the treehouse with her fear of heights and then being asked to go back up :lol:

Interesting how Webb pits them against each other as a means to get the best out of his team.

Rebecca's instincts on the button again. I don't know why I enjoyed this one but I did.

:ponder:

More Spoilers !!!!





Episode 5 - Loneliest Number

The team slowly bonding, Rebecca freaking out about being part of the group at the restaurant, sweet ending where she finally starts trusting them.

:tear: @ Danny over her in the bath - We are here for you :tear:

So sweet as they rush to her rescue.

Rebecca for once can't fight as paralysed by the drug, I was pretty much shouting at her, don't go alone, no-one knows where you are.

The team learn her secret and are visibly moved however she doesn't wanted to be treated as a victim.

Great stuff, more emotional than previous eps and I'm really starting to feel a lot for the team :)

Ooops edit - Onion Flower :lol:

That initial glimpse we get of the dead womans skinned face :x Even more so when you find out that she did it to herself :o I really wasn't expecting that :blink:

Special Agent Rebecca Locke is played by Rachel Nichols, here is her IMDB page, I don't recognise her from anything she's been in :unsure: Hope that helps jog your memory :D

:) thanks, haven't seen any of those.

:ponder: maybe its because she is similar to another actress :ponder: she is frelling good anyway :lol:

The Inside, its leading lady and Tim Minear got a rather bitchy mention in this week's Guardian Guide :

Ouch ! ;)

For those who have seen it does this sound fair ?

:no: Not at all, they are clutching at straws just because there is a strong female character in the team who happens to be blonde, thats where the similarity ends.

There can definitely be comparisons drawn with Silence of the Lambs, the character they are talking about is more like Jodie Foster's Clarice although even more complicated.

She is only a cog in the wheel however. I find her quite compelling, not sure why the bad review.

It also deals with serial killers on a weekly basis so there isn't that much room for humour :rolleyes:

Moved this thread to the US Drama board. It just looks neater this way :D

Unfortunately Fox didn't broadcast this weeks episode and Tim Minear now thinks that they will only broadcast the last episode next week skipping the rest :tear:

Stupid Fox

They decided a dance show contest thing would get better viewing figures <_<

right ... i wasn't sure where to put it :whistling:

No problem :D

It's seriously getting to the point now where as soon as you see a show's a Fox property then you realise there's no point in following it. If it's any good it'll get pulled, if it's crap it'll go for seven seasons or more.

There's a new one in development at the moment called Darkside, similar to Lost but set on the dark side of the moon. It's on Fox, I'm really wondering whether to bother or not. Unless it get's CSI numbers Fox will pull it inside five episodes.

F*ckwits :rolleyes:

:( I commented on the USDrama board that Tim Minear must be so disheartened, what exactly is the point of making a show on Fox :blink:

Doomed before it begins <_<

I hope that show creators try to use other networks instead and then we might get a full series for a change. Maybe Fox should just release DVDs instead of broadcasting half a series :rolleyes:

Darkside sounds great but I'm thinking like you that it might end up with the same fate <_<

It just highlights the fact that Fox appear to have learnt nothing from their farcical cancellation of Family Guy. Even further back than that they fail to remember that The X Files wasn't an instant success, it's numbers for it's first season were moderate at best.

It's like Fox is run by a schoolboy mentality; "I want it all and I want it now, or I'm going home and I'm taking my ball with me." :rolleyes:

For anyone that hasn't seen it yet it looks like The Inside is being repeated on tuesdays at 10pm from 25th April. I'll probably watch it again.

Excellent finale, I just wish I'd known it was and I'd've appreciated it even more :rolleyes:

Web is an evil bastard, isn't he? :lmao: Making them read the transcript where Rebecca describes them all. I'd've loved to have seen where the relationship between her and Paul went :(

Can we classify this one as a FFU yet? (Fox F*ck Ups);

Wondering whether it's ready to join the pantheon;

Firefly
Dark Angel
Family Guy
John Doe
Harsh Realm
Killer Instinct
Tru Calling
Wonderfalls

It seems that unless a new show meets with Prison Break-like success initially it's going to get canned. In light of that sentiment I'm amazed Bones has made it to a second season !! :rolleyes:

:lmao: I think it does, and I also think FFU is a great name for a thread :lol:

Thanks for that info Jae, I missed some of them this time round so that's good news.

he is impossibly evil isn't he, I think he just enjoys messing with people's heads.

Webb was a great character, sadistic and creepy, but great. :) And so well played by Peter Coyote. :thumbsup:

------------------

Consider it classified :lol:

I'm at least happy to say that I've caught most of those shows except for Harsh Realm which has been on my to buy list for a while :rolleyes:

I have to admit that although I've seen it listed on the Sci-Fi channel a million times, John Doe has never really registered with me. Loving Dominic Purcell in Prison Break so should I be paying more attention to John Doe as well :ponder:

:thumbsup: Don't get me wrong I think he is fantastic, good cast all round actually :)

Harsh realm

£12.99 :thumbsup:

John Doe was good. Definitely worth a second season IMO. It was one of those shows with a compelling central premise/mystery. When you look at some of the shows that get renewed year in year out these days I'm always amazed when shows like this, or any of the above, get cancelled. Yet more evidence pointing towards the brain-dead television watching masses :rolleyes:

Is / was Arrested Development a Fox show ?

Yes, yes it was. Chalk another one up. The b*stards...... :rolleyes:

Bought! :lmao: Last time I looked it was still at full price but at £12.99 I'm not passing that up :thumbsup:

Sci-Fi are part way through showing John Doe now, I think, so I'll wait til next time they show it and catch it then :thumbsup:

Ooh, ooh, a Harsh Realm (re) watch !! :thumbsup:

Kitchen Confidential was also on FOX - cancelled after 4 eps. The whole series has been aired in Australia ( :unsure: ) - still waiting for Paramount UK to show it... <_<

I liked what I saw of it, in clips and that one ep which they streamed. :)

Tim Minear's site now has all 13 scripts up for the show :thumbsup:

The Inside Scripts

These are also listed in the order that the series was supposed to have been broadcast

Thanks Alex. :D

Was anyone else watching the repeats on ITV4? For some reason they've taken them off air again, just as I was getting my friend hooked on it :rolleyes: I really wanted to show her the one where Rebecca ends up in the woods, I guess I'll just have to settle for the script now. Any news on a DVD?

I was watching them <_< there is some stupid football program on instead so maybe they will carry on once it has finished :ermm: I hope

When it looked like the series was going to end I believe they filmed extra stuff for DVDs and I know that Fox aren't going to miss out on trying to sell us DVDs of a cancelled show :lol: no sign as yet though :(
