It was a fantastic amazing movie, I wonder what the television series would be like. I admit it has promise. Don't blow it Mr. Eick!

It couldn't get off the airwaves fast enough for me. The only decent thing was Katee Sackhoff. And why would I bother to watch Bionic Woman to see her when I can see her weekly in a better show and called <i>Battlestar Galactica</i>. <a HREF="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0251594/" REL="nofollow">David Eick</a>: I hereby give you a mulligan.

I notice on <a HREF="http://notfromcincinnati.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">your blog</a> you've made it so that the comment form pops-up, instead of taking you to a different page, as mine currently do. That's quite a nice improvement, I may try to do the same on my blog.<br/><br/>As for <i>John From Cincinnati</i>, that's a tough one. I did enjoy the show while watching it, my wife and I were both glued to the set every week. The dialog in Milch's previous <i>Deadwood</i> eventually started to grate on my nerves, and contributed to my giving up on that show, but with <i>JFC</i> I thought the odd dialog really added a nice flavour without making you want to kick in your television. <br/><br/>But the show was also so opaque, so unwilling to give even the tiniest budge, that by the end I don't think anyone can be too surprised that it wasn't renewed. I would've watched a second season, but I also didn't really care that I couldn't. I actually meant to rewatch the show once it was finished, to see how it all hung together but never quite got around to it. If I ever do, perhaps I'll do a proper blog post.<br/><br/>I think you've correctly guessed that I'm ambivalent. It's a very interesting and one-of-a-kind show, almost more of an art-house piece. Watching the 12 disciples of John slowly gathering, without ever spelling out what's going on (a good thing). You get to observe the changes John's presence makes in the lives of those around him, and they show it well. And the characters. Oh my god, how unforgettable are those characters?! <br/><br/>Yes, frustrating and in the end, a bit unsatisfying. It's all build up with no payoff. And if that's the point, well, then I guess that's the point. I dunno...<br/><br/>Based on the title of your blog, Joanna, I'm guessing you're either a fan, or have some opinions on the show as well. I'm very curious as to what you thought of it, care to comment? (or a link, if if you've already done so elsewhere?) Hi Joanna, nice to meet you!

I dropped Bionic Woman and a few other BS shows and thought this would be a good show to add to my watching routine. I was also disappointed in the first few episodes but they did continue to build and get better. What I was quite surprised about was the fact they didn't do any cheese FX and the Terminators actually look like the movie Terminators and not some stupid half ass sci-fi channel robot that most crossover shows do. I think this show has some potential and with the addition of Summer Glau she has HUGE potential in this show. I've read a lot of reviews on this show and most of them seem very promising for this show. I know they are taking this show into consideration when they film Terminator 4 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438488/)to make sure it 1/2 ass keeps up to the timeline.
