I'm going to have to rewatch the show because I kept getting texts and couldn't really concentrate on what was going on.  Lots of action though, and it looks like the actors are pretty well cast so far (LOVE that they cast the dude from the English office as the computer/genius nerd).

Michael Ealy has proven in the past to be a really solid actor (Miracle at St Anna).

I didn't watch and I doubt I will because big network shows generally turn out to be terrible, but I'll keep an eye on this one.

 

I'm not sure that I would use Miracle at St Anna as any sort of recommendation for acting chops. That movie was fuging terrible.

I only saw it once many years ago, but I loved it when I first saw it. Severely underrated movie, and if you didn't like it, the acting wasn't the problem. People just tend to hate on Spike Lee's stuff for being too pushy and extreme.

What?!?!

 

The acting was probably the worst part of the movie. But all around, it was a terrible flick, the message was cliche and forced and the plot twists were mindnumbingly awful.

Have it recorded, plan to watch.  I like the actors and Minka is in it.

 

As per usual however, it's sci fi and won't last...

 

Most of the time, yes, but this is the team that brought us Fringe (amazing series) and Fringe got a good 5 years despite not having amazing ratings but still having good critical ratings.   Fox is better than the other networks albeit not a lot better though.  But they seem to give this Bad Robot team more lee-way.   This show seems to bank on the "cop-drama" as much as "sci-fi" so we'll see if that helps.

 

I just worry it's things we've all seen before.  The "android that is life-like that wants to be human" has been done a ton of times but maybe it'll be different.  The good thing is, the guy who plays Dorian is so far stealing the show, but Urban is still doing great and really feels legit for the role.   I don't expect an amazing show here but a good show that is fun to watch (like Person of Interest is).

Like I said, I only saw it when it first came out. I could be totally wrong. I'm 19 now, so I was like 14 at the time. I remember it as a good movie though.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
