Quote of the Day

... From a brief script review of Joss Whedon's pilot script for Dollhouse over at Zap2It: "A good pilot should do one of two things: It should either lay out the blueprint for the rest of the series or it should intrigue you so much that you can't wait for the second episode. ... Dollhouse falls into the second category. Whedon's script builds into a mystery that's as much philosophical as science fiction. The introduction to the show's universe is immediately disorienting, but also enthralling, as Whedon mixes elements of the conspiracy thriller ...

Take Me to the Pilots '08: FOX's 'Fringe'

... Quick Response: I read an early version of the script and semi-reviewed it for Zap2it just before the upfronts. The draft I read was 114 pages, a bit rough and felt *really* long for a TV pilot. The produced version is a more respectable 90-ish minutes.

The set-up exposition is nearly untouched, ...

Fall 2008 TV Preview Fringe
Published 7/22/2008 by mort at The Couch Potato
... Zap2It My Thoughts I think Fringe will be one of if not the best show of the 2008 season (Dollhouse is it’s main competition for the spot in my opinion). From the previews, Fringe looks like a great Sci-Fi thriller that should entertain anyone who likes Sci-Fi and probably everyone who likes dramas. I think with some time to grow Fringe could be one of the best shows on TV. I would be shocked it Fringe isn’t a great show. I just can’t wait until I can finally see the pilot. I know I can’t wait. Can You? Feel free to leave your thoughts on Fringe in the comment section of this ...

... during the summer, perhaps because I enjoy seeing things early, or maybe because seeing TV on the big screen -- a screening room on the FOX lot -- is ideal. Dunno. It's also possible that after reading the script and watching the pilot twice, I've burnt out a bit. My bottom line, as discussed in my Zap2it ...
