PVR is set. If it's any good, NBC will surely cancel it.

 

[ScaryBob]

LOL. Watched the first hour. Seems OK so far. The real test will be in the ongoing series. If they can keep up the pace it will be OK, if not...

 

[Tezster]

Seems rather generic so far i.e. I didn't find the characters or story that compelling.

I'll watch watch the next episode or two to see of it gets any better.

 

[Stilgar]

Any info on Offset times for those who have stuff already taping at that time?

 

[Dr.Dave]

Stilgar, Sunday's episode will be rebroadcast tonight and NBC will switch to the Monday timeslot starting Jan. 17. Zap2it.com is a good source for TV schedule info.

Summer Glau is easy on the eyes!

 

[jumpy27]

I think I will PVR the show and just skip ahead when she is on screen!

The "first hour"? It was a two hour episode, but may have been listed as two one hour episodes.......

 

[Stilgar]

Certainly missed Summer since Terminator:SCC was canceled.

 

[gbamber]

She was good on Dollhouse.

I predict that The Cape will be cancelled soon because Summer's series don't last... Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse, Firefly. The exception was The 4400 which survived a full run.

So far, Summer seems to be playing a fairly normal person in The Cape. Previously she has played "quirky" characters (in Firefly, Terminator, Dollhouse), which I think better suits her.

 

[Tezster]

Summer Glau is easy on the eyes!

I think she really needs a series written around her where she's the protagonist - something with a really juicy script she can sink her teeth into.

The "first hour"? It was a two hour episode

Watched the second hour the next evening. Like I said, OK. Doubt it will hold my interest for long. It's not quite good enough to be a must watch show. It's not campy enough to become a cult classic either. It might have looked better if it were not for some of the recent remakes with classic comic book characters. They really raised the bar for this type of show.

Summer Glau had nothing to with Dollhouse being canceled since the announcement came BEFORE her character showed up on the show.

But she jinxed it! Will she jinx The Cape too?

Stay tuned!

Actually I sort of enjoyed the two hours...not sure if it will last...but it was like renting a movie.

 

[SiriusRiderFan]

I also watched it, was very 'Batman' style. I like superhero movies/shows, but there are a lot of bad ones like 'No Ordinary Family'. So far The Cape does not seem cheesy I too will watch a few more and see where it goes

Enjoy watching the first 2 hours, I really felt the comic book universe.
I like the circus team which I think brings a lot to the serie.
