Yea, I dunno if it's the pilot just being cheap or them having to change things in post or what, but it's got a distinct issue there.Linkzg said:this show could be awesome but it feels designed and edited to confuse. important facts are muttered quietly, he does something and something happen and I don't know what either something was.
otherwise, it's like Wanted + Batman

The Big Rig said:Weird opening episode. I don't especially like Caviezal (?)'s character that much. The whole thing gives me major "Early Edition" vibes.
I apologise, but I am going to use you as an example. What does the bolded mean when referring to a TV show? I understand in the context of interactive media like games when it refers to a large, scripted scene where the player still has control, but what does it mean in the context of a TV show?ivysaur12 said:Just started on the west coast.
Some awful, awful non-opening credits. Just give me 10 seconds. Or something. They also needed to reshoot some of Caviezel's scenes, and some of the internal logic just doesn't make sense. Also, some terrible exposition from Caviezel. Plus, some, uhh... "interesting" pacing.
Some really nice set pieces, though. And Emerson's great.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Makes much more sense now!ivysaur12 said:Every single TV series reuses about four or five sets that they keep in a soundstage - it keeps the prices down and most of the show is filmed in these sets. These sets (and their decorations) can be described as "set pieces."
Some, like the coffee shop in Friends, are iconic. Then there's Mad Men: the set pieces there are meticulous to detail and are lavish in their attempt to recreate a 1960s fantasy. In a poorer example, The Playboy Club has rather stale sets that don't really separate it from any old room on a soundstage. It's bland and not visually striking.
For Person of Interest, I was genuinely impressed with the old-library set where it seems Jesse and Finch will be doing most of their work. It's a look that's underutilized. It reminds me a lot of library from Se7en.

Why does Jesus have that gravelly Batman voice?
How can I argue with that logic? :lolNotTheGuyYouKill said:Because Batman is Jesus?
Silkworm said:Damn I forgot to record this. Any chance they'll re-air this episode say on the weekend on CBS? :-\
