So did anyone watch this last night? I'm wondering if it was any good.

Even the promo commercials looked bad.

NBC is just awful. And if they are desperate for ratings they need to produce an original idea. And not "Lost" (oops, I mean "The Event") and not Batman/The Cape

I google news'd it....for every 100 bad reviews, there's one good review. NBC and its sucky promotions department with those lame ass fake news reports suck.

I watched it. For a 2 hour premiere, they packed a season's worth of plot into it. The whole character development to get him to a badass seemed rushed, but that I can understand - get people hooked. I just don't think that they should have rushed through like three or four conflicts in the space of an hour or so.

It also had a lot of comic cliches, too. A LOT.

There was one scene which summed up how terrible this is... when Chess (yes that's the bad guy) takes off his mask and "reveals" himself they actually cut to a flashback of an earlier scene to unnecessarily remind the audience who the guy is. I doubt you could find a single person who didn't realize his identity while he was still masked. The only way they could dumb it down anymore would be to add a narrator.

And ya, the pilot basically had a half season of content/character development crammed into an hour and a half.

Sounds like I should delete it from the DVR and not look back.

Say somebody sends you a postcard out of the blue. It has a nice photo on the front, and on the back it says: "Meet me behind the Taco Bell on Sunday, January 11 at 9PM (8PM Central) and I'll kick you in the nuts."

Now, lets say you haven't actually been kicked in the nuts before. You know in your heart of hearts that it probably doesn't feel good. Anyway, you forget about the postcard and go about your business. The next week, another postcard. Same verbiage. Next week, same thing. Getting kicked in the nuts can't feel good, can it? No way. Once, you accidentally let your underwear waistband slip out off your thumb as you were taking a leak, and the sensation as it snapped the underside of your sack was not pleasant. But curiosity is getting the best of you. Somebody is offering, via postcard, to meet you and personally kick you in the nuts, so maybe you should take them up on it, no?

Question: Do you go to Taco Bell?

Then why the fuck would anyone think a generic superhero show on NBC would be worth watching?

I want to believe. But I keep getting a crushing feeling in my groin.

I didn't know much about this before I recorded it. God this was disgustingly awful. I watched this and wondered how the hell someone could watch this with a straight face. I was laughing at how bad it was. It was like a superhero show for trailer trash stupidity. Throughout the whole thing I had absolutely no emotional investment in any of the characters.

I watched this because I was too lazy to get up and get the remote. Bad bad bad.
