Guest peterparks Report post Posted November 16, 2006 I saw the commercials and I wasn't that impressed. I'll take a look at the show though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Saw it and loved the first ep. But, you have to wonder if they can keep this up for the next 11 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest A.BUTCHER'S HOUSE OF RIBS Report post Posted November 16, 2006 I also really liked the first episode. And any show having a guy trying on a MIL MASCARAS mask is worth watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Starks Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Very good first 2 episodes IMO, they setup the series well and if it can maintain this level I'll be watching all 13 episodes. I thought it was well acted all round, but this show will live or die by the quality of its writing. I'm optimistic as the writers knew from the outset that they have 13 episodes to tell this story. Recommended viewing for fans of 24. Taye Diggs is basically a time traveling Jack Bauer - intelligent, a good shot (while driving!) and able to pull off stunts like jumping on top of moving trains and diving out of open windows RANDOM MUSINGS/SPOILERS FOR EP 1 & 2 FOLLOW: - Brett Hopper's progression through the first 4 attempts of the day were spot on. First Day take it in all in bewildered. Attempt 2: Upon realizing he was having a serious case of Deja-Vu he attempts to fix the situation as quickly and easily as possible - ditch the murder weapon and get his loved ones to safety. The Coffee Shop woman makes him realise that small details can have larger ramifications. Attempt 3: Runaway from all the bizarre shit that has happened. Interesting to see that he is still proactive by contacting his partner before the Homicide Detectives can flip her. Jack Bauer would have been proud of Hopper's shooting while driving skills. Attempt 4: Deal with the situation he was thrust into. Good to see that he is getting smarter each day, this time ditching the mobile phone. The big question now is what other methods do they use to pin Garza's murder on Hopper if as Detective Choi says "Who said anything about a gun in your closet?" - The more attempts Hopper has at the day the further he should be able to get ahead of his adversaries. - The group setting Hopper up is obviously well connected. They have Hopper under surveillance, are heavily armed and mobilized, able to snatch someone from the police lockup and pass through police barricades. If they can't get Hooper to take the fall they are insistent on killing him. - What does Internal Affairs Officer Chad Shelten have to do with the "Quarry Group"? What has he got on Hoppers partner? - Hopper needs to be careful about how much knowledge he divulges to others. The leader of the "Quarry Group" seemed quite taken back when Brett Hopper was able to articulate their demands the second time round. If they think he knows to much they may try to take him out. - What's the disheveled looking man in the police stations caper? Both times Hopper has been in the station he is staring at him intently. - I wonder how long the injuries will take to heal, if Hopper is not careful they could start adding up and become a big issue. - He needs an easy way to prove to people that he has lived this day before. He could use the results of the Dodgers game but something even more impossible to predict could be useful, eg. Lotto Numbers. - If Hopper ever needs a large sum of money he can simply bet on the Dodgers game. - Does Damien going into witness protection to testify have anything to do with the attempt at framing Hopper? Who is it that attacks the safe house? The "Quarry Group" didn't seem to care that they killed Damien on attempt no. 2, if they even knew who he was in the first place. - I thought it was interesting that Hopper assumed it was the sedative he was given in the quarry that was making the day repeat. - Will Hopper make time at the beginning of each day and attempt to save the woman at the coffee shop? I could see him going either way over time: becoming more and more determined to save everyone as he finds a solution, or less and less concerned for others welfare as he becomes convinced everything will just reboot the following day. - It was cool to see Hopper try to stay awake past 6:17am. - How long before someone makes reference to "Groundhog Day"? - What is in the package that the mystery woman sent Hopper? - Next weeks episode is entitled "What If He Lets Her Go?"

I'm sorry, the correct answer was Groundhog Day That's exactly what I thought when I saw the commercial before Borat a couple of weeks ago. At first I said to my firend, "Oh no, now Groundhog's Day is being remade." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
