how about you make a show for them and sell it? huh? where’s your bright idea? the fact that it is unoriginal only becomes a problem when the core idea becomes exponentially worsened with each try. this series appears to be a step in the right direction, not to mention that the press is eating it up right now- go google news it. i don’t see what the problem is.. shakespeare has been done to death, but remains the greatest literary achievement that man has ever created, does that mean that the concepts are tired? or that we should move on?

“It isn’t Shakespeare” but at the same time sharecropping franchises plays to that lowest of all common denominators, a pre-existing audience who don’t want their expectations disappointed. Good movies (or television) should boast intelligent, literate writing but even more than that how about some ORIGINALITY?

I just watched it on tivo and loved it. it was gripping and fully entertaining without the lag that terrible sci-fi’s have. some critics i’ve read are slandering it without, as i believe, fully understanding the point of the genre whatsoever. this isn’t shakespeare, but it isn’t the series crafted after the total recall movie either.

i liked the acting, the potential girlfriend turned robot (the truck scene made me almost spike my remote), the forward time travel, and the wondering as to where this series will take me. We’ll see where it does, but I for one (being a kid who’s dad took me to the second film when I was 8) am stoked for the next episode- enough so that I will tolerate having my television tuned to the FUX channel.

I…don’t…know…

Sharecropping an existing franchise, rather than coming up with a new concept goes against everything I believe in. Why is everything in film and TV so derivative? I read an article in a movie magazine that showed the major sources of ideas for films in 1997 and a decade later in 2007. The movies 10 years ago were built around TV show adaptations and today it’s–ta da!–comic books. Is that an improvement, do you think? Or trading one type of stupidity for another…
