I bring you news from the future.....!
Aug. 3rd, 2007 05:55 pmThe future of Television, that is...
So, through undisclosed means, I watched two of the pilots for the new shows for the coming year.
Pushing Daisies: A modern fantasy about a man who can touch dead things and bring them back to life.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: A terminator series, set shortly after Terminator 2, with Sarah and John Connor on the run.
I quite liked both of them. Of the two, I think I liked Terminator a little better, but they're both worth a look, and I'll probably be watching both when they start (Fall for Pushing Daisies, January for Terminator). I do have some worries about Pushing Daisies - it's a concept that's good for the pilot, certainly, but I do have a bit of worries about how it'll be able to sustain it long term. But it's by the guy who created Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, so that's a plus in its favour. In Terminator's favour, it's got Summer Glau!
A little more detailed comments behind the cut... slightly spoilery, but it doesn't reveal any of the 'big twists' (though if you don't already know, I will be talking about who the terminators are played by, so that might ruin a bit of surprise).
Pushing Daisies: ( Read more... )
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: ( Read more... )
So yeah, both of these were on my (relatively small) watchlist for the next TV season, but it's good to see that my first impressions were right on in this case.
