      The studio was screwed up.

      The crowd that demands the family friendly format is the Evangelicals.

      Having the bad guy be the bible citing christian and the boy from the Hero's family be derisive of that.

      couple of million viewers just tuned out.

      Six episodes max.

        The one thing I do like about it is that the bad guys are emphatically identified with gun control and disarming the populace -- very subversive stuff for Hollywod.

          Just the mere mention of Jessica Alba in Dark Angel gives me half a mongrel.

              Wha... Where I'm from, a mongrel is a mangy, flea-bitten dog that has I-don't-know-many breeds' DNA in it...

                  LOL! Yes Paul, a mongrel is a mixed-breed dog but in Australia having "half a mongrel" is slang for having a partial erection. And Leg, I did say "mere mention". Actually seeing a photo or video of Jesica Alba is, for me, my own little blue pill.

                            I'll echo some of the common gripes: Far too clean for the timeline, too much hair gel & swordplay, clichd and overacted. But I gave it the requisite three episodes and will likely continue watching. I'm just peeved because I figure with JJ Abrams and Favreau behind this I should be more blown away, and instead I'm just kind of meh. But they better hurry it up with the exposition, because I'm not signing up for another 7-season Lindelof wankfest.

                                Well I am glad the Patriots are good guys. However Hollywood still can't resist portraying anyone that owns or uses a gun as a sociopath.

                                May the writers should watch "Jeremiah" more than "Jericho". You know what else is missing Knives, hand axes, clubs, machetes, even without a handgun just something hefty in your hand when situations get tense is in order here.
