Episode 1 and killed us with boredom


Did Game of Thrones have a sale on old costumes and sets? What a huge disappointment this premier was.
Dull, boring, confusing, a waste of potentially good actors, pure waste of paper to print lines on.
Hopefully it will hemorrhage money and they will cancel.

You are absolutely right. How the hell did this get a 7.3 rating?

A better question is how the hell did this get green lit for a pilot? I've seen a lot of garbage on TV, more so lately, but this takes it to a new level.

Instead of original ideas, it seems like writers of today can only take existing good ideas and turn them to crap.

A modern reimaging? Give me a break. There is a pathetic group of people who believe they're deep and profound, and they believe they show this in their "art", for lack of a better word. In reality, they're simply fortunate losers who found success when they didn't deserve it. The failure of this show will prove just that.

It's funny NBC axed and then revived it according to http://www.tv.com/shows/emerald-city/community/post/emerald-city-not-canceled-nbc-142913364634/ ...

I wanted to like it but found myself bored and couldn't get involved.

Waste of talented actors.

reply

Yep, it wasn't good. I will not be watching any more episodes. I will stick with the original MGM classic. :P NBC should had kept it axed.

Talk about insightful. Watch out folks, we have an intellectual giant here.

What a twit. You don't even have the brain power to respond with anything of substance.

You're, without a doubt, one of the pathetic losers I was referring too. Just much less intelligent.

I wish I can like your comment! lol

I love how the person who wrote "You're an idiot" then goes on to defend his/her comment by saying people have opinions, lol.

reply

Unbelievable, right? How sad is it they're completely unaware how clueless and ludicrous they actually are?

I'm glad you caught that too. Sure, according to geniuses like him/her, everyone has an opinion, however if yours differs from theirs, then you're an idiot. It's almost as if they weren't sure they convinced the world of their stupidity, so they doubled down.

It's rare to see a person making two completely moronic statements, which contradict one another, yet they believe both, actually feel superior, and have the audacity to call someone else an idiot. You really have to laugh.

How in the world does someone become so ignorantly delusional? The funniest thing about it is the fact they have no idea how foolish they make themselves look, and will go through life never knowing just how absolutely void of intelligence they actually are?

reply

You know, I admit, my comment was stupid, but wow. You sure do like to go out of your way to talk *beep* about somebody you don't even know, except on the internet. I say one immature sentence, and you make it seem personal. Chill out. It was just a comment, and this is just a show, that you unfortunately didn't like. Get over it. You're sounding/looking like an overly pretentious ass right now.

Exactly. So why not leave it at that? No, you still have to make juvenile and idiotic comments. Grow up. Admitting you're a moron, and then whining like a baby doesn't help your case. The only one who looks like an ass is you. Own the fact you acted like a childish fool, but don't try to then turn it around. That's how intelligent grown ups do it. You just look pathetic.

reply

Perhaps my comment was childish, dickish, and uncalled for.

reply

Congratulations on admitting your mistake. Too often anonymity emboldens us to be mean and cruel. This is much more revealing of the person making the statement then the accusations flung at their intended target. It is sad that Underdog 73 took your admission as a sign of weakness, it was, in fact, a strength.

reply

Say hi to your mother for me.

reply

I know this is probably unheard of for you, but there's this thing called "opinions". Many people have different ones. Perhaps that there might be your answer.

reply

I fell asleep, I was bored out of my skull beyond belief.
I have absolutely no interest in seeing this again.
I'm thinking Powerless might wind up being funny because of the cast, and at one point in time I loved Grimm and Blacklist and the way NBC started breaking up the seasons by randomly scattering new episodes here and there with no announcements on temporary hiatus or returns just killed any interest I had in them.
But yeah, generally NBC is short for Nothing But Cancellations.

I do have to say the first part was boring to an extent but I feel they have a lot of setting up to do. First few episodes of Game of Thrones was boring to me but it got better. I think once there is a solid foundation it will get rolling. They have already introduced something that was in a different book so I think they will be bringing in a lot of characters from the book that people are not familiar with.

reply

i don't remember OZ being an action movie nor a book, but there is no pleasing human kind.

reply

Just watched it, and as much as I was looking forward to I was bored silly. It has all the hallmarks of a b-grade movie.

reply

not sure if mentioned but it only retained a 1.3 out of 1.5 in the second hour. will be interesting to see where it goes from there.



if you don't have anything nice to say ...you're probably a butthole

reply

Maybe you should stick to YouTube cat videos, seems like anything with a story is too much for you.

reply

Lol, one of the best and most accurate responses in this cesspool of a thread.

reply

Hey, YouTube cat videos are some of the best entertainment on the planet!
