    I thought it was really, really good.

    Lily Rabe was my favorite actress on AHS and she was stellar once again on here.

    I also really liked Milo Ventigmilia's character (and liked the twist it was her husband).

    With all that being said, I thougt the success and/or failure would ride on two things: The acting of the children and the suspense. Both were spot on. The kids were really (shockingly) good actors and the scenes with Drill and the kids/parents were quite tense.

    Overall it was very good. Can't wait for the rest of the season.

    This series is gonna be so good and interesting. I love the 3 little children “Drill” has decided to manipulate. The main character will have to be a very good detective to figure what is going on between these children and Drill. I'm most curious about this mysterious rock and what effects it has on people

    It was a really great premiere, i was spoiled about John Doe's identity so i wasn't surprised when i found out he was Claire's husband. Drill sounds very Peter Pan-like with not wanting kids that are grown up. That giant rock is very interesting, i wonder what it is.

    Premiere episode was great! Lily Rabe was awesome. Looking forward to next week and learning more about "the game." :)

    - I didn't like Claire's son. He seemed more like a vehicle for her to express her feelings than an actual person.

    My thought on the kid's not grown up is the change in the brain chemistry during puberty. I think that when their brains change, they can no longer hear Drill. It's like how they make that buzzing noise that drives teens nuts, but adults can't hear it.

    creepy and interesting pilot that gave us some decent intro/set up for what might be coming. It was a bit slowish and predictable, but I love Lily Rabe and thought she was great. I'll continue sampling and see how thing go

  13. Kris SmithJune 2, 2015 at 5:29 AM

    There's an audio range that the older you get, the less you can hear it. There's been talk about using the sound as a deterrent to teenagers congregating in certain areas.

    ReplyDelete
  14. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 5:38 AM

    Is that even possible? I mean sound just can't disappear or be used as a deterrent, right?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Kris SmithJune 2, 2015 at 5:41 AM

    The sound doesn't disappear. You simply lose the ability to hear it.

    I really liked it. I'm just hesitant to get too into a show when the networks are so cancel happy. I thought the storyline was very good and the actors were great. Even the promo for next week looks good. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

    The creator said that they are in NO way leaving us in a cliffhanger, that if worse comes to worst the season will have a satisfying ending.

    Barry Sloane still sounds British in his American accent as there were instances throughout the premiere that I could hear him unknowingly break into his natural accent. Hopefully, he improves as the show progresses.

    ReplyDelete
  22. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 7:28 AM

    Yeah normally i don't heat accents slip when Brits play Americans but this time, it was pretty hard to ignore

  23. NiceGuyVanJune 2, 2015 at 8:04 AM

    Sci-FI! I'm in. But yea that was awesome.

    We get Milo Ventigmilia back, and he connects to it all. I love mysterious person connects to a greater plot.


    The kids do a good job of being of freaking their parents out lol.

    The first girl lol - luckily she doesn't know what she really did.
    Drill Keep doing what you do it keeps things interesting.



    Also the Parents seems like the 2 kid's talking to Drill families are connected? maybe an Affair? when?



    Anyway I look forward to it all. Please let it be Aliens for sure, and no fake out.

    ReplyDelete
  24. NiceGuyVanJune 2, 2015 at 8:10 AM

    personally I like aliens more. if they have good writers and guts they can do so much with aliens, most just think they can't go too far with aliens but you can.
    plus we have had too much supernatural of late anyways. Even the Messengers went from could be alines to half aliens to full on supernatural.

    Also yea Jessup was annoying, everything I see the actor he always plays a similar role that ticks you off for butting heads with the lead.



    Clair's Laptop wifi speed kind of pissed me off. They just did that for reaction and suspense... No way a fed has crappy internet speed. even 5 up/down would download that in a few seconds or less.

    ReplyDelete
  25. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 8:12 AM

    I just watched the pilot's trailer again and yep, about much of the scenes featured there have been reshot for the actual episode shown and while there's one scene that was dropped altogether, probably for the better.

  26. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 8:19 AM

    Can you say what was different?

    ReplyDelete
  27. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 8:21 AM

    Yeah it was confirmed, they both cheated on their spouses.

    ReplyDelete
  28. NiceGuyVanJune 2, 2015 at 8:36 AM

    Yea That's what it looked liked, I didn't want to judge right away but hey... Its a little odd, both men seem like the type that are away for business so why would Claire feel the need to cheat for the same type? whatever to each their own.

    ABC spoiled it by releasing the character name. *shakes head*

    ReplyDelete
  32. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:19 AM

    Well yeah that too, but i actually found out when Milo did an interview, i think in all honesty the show didn't consider his character's identity a bombshell. I think that's why the actors, producers, sites, etc. revealed it, because they weren't portraying his IDENTITY at least that big a bombshell. I mean why else spoil it right?

    ReplyDelete
  33. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:21 AM

    Yeah before the series premiered i asked one of the reviewers if we could still sympathize with these characters even though they're cheating spouses. Because ME personally i can't sympathize with characters like these, i don't know about anyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Babar SuhailJune 2, 2015 at 9:22 AM

    But it was supposed to be the "big reveal" at the end of the episode, and it just didn't add the same effect. I mwan I watched the screener before the show started getting promoted and I was kinda surprised, but you guys obviously weren't.

    ReplyDelete
  35. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:24 AM

    Oh wow, then why would they say he was her husband like it was nothing, very strange.

    ReplyDelete
  36. NiceGuyVanJune 2, 2015 at 9:26 AM

    I based the hope of it being aliens from the first press release. After that I didn't want a promo or read up on anything else till I watched the first episode. Don't have time to read up on everything when I watch too many things.

    ReplyDelete
  37. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:27 AM

    I read from the THR interview with one of the showrunners where they mentioned that there was a great deal of character backstories told in the original pilot as well as some crucial information about the show's secrets that felt better told across the season instead of dumping it all in one episode.


    One scene that was obviously reshot was the part where Lily Rabe's character was opening a old file in the FBI database about an earlier yet similar case about a boy who made a bomb that got himself killed and scarring his mother in the process. The image of the file was different, the kid shown in the photo was different and the entire scene focusing on the computer was shot on a different camera perspective.

    Here's the link to the interview: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/whispers-bosses-promise-viewers-will-799026

  38. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:30 AM

    Oh huh, so a press release got you to watch it? It's always a promo, that's different.

    ReplyDelete
  39. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:30 AM

    One scene that was cut out from the actual episode shown was that Barry Sloane's character came back to the US in the pilot and had a meeting with POTUS and some peeps, among a good few noticeable differences.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMG9TMnJfOs



    Obviously by the time we get to the second episode, we'll be seeing the show looking slightly different, looking a little more Canadian (which was in the news last year).

    ReplyDelete
  40. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:32 AM

    Who knows if the show suddenly enters sci-fi territory by concluding that the angels were indeed aliens, which would explain why The Man came down to Earth via a meteorite.

    ReplyDelete
  41. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:33 AM

    I was already spoiled when they half-revealed Milo's face in one of the earlier scenes. Just a forehead would explain everything.

    ReplyDelete
  42. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:34 AM

    Wait, are you telling me you recognized his character form a FOREHEAD?! how is that even possible, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  43. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:35 AM

    I think it depends on the situation the characters are in. If they have all moved past the secrets and the reveals, it's the aftermath that will be worth watching for in seeing how they are moving along after all has been said and done.

    ReplyDelete
  44. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:36 AM

    I just knew. And STV's advance preview already gave me a heads up so I was mildly spoiled which was no biggie hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  45. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:37 AM

    Yeah i guess when they STOP cheating and actually regret it, it's a little easier to sympathize. I still don't like that they made them cheat AT ALL though.

    I almost forgot one important detail about the first episode: I was surprised that they had an actual opening credits when most others shows produced by ABC Studios that air on ABC only use title cards that span 5 to 15 seconds in length.

    ReplyDelete
  51. ivanJune 2, 2015 at 9:48 AM

    Oh yeah all shows have now are stupid title cards.

    ReplyDelete
  52. NiceGuyVanJune 2, 2015 at 9:48 AM

    Maybe haha we can compare one day. I use tvshow time to keep track. It says I spent over 9 months of my life watching tv shows lol. It would be 2 years if I complete my pending list of old shows I never got a chance to watch.

    Same here If it's SciFi I'm almost 99% of the time watching it. Supernatural is like 91%, I love it but I just don't like some settings and feel for some of them. Best example is I didn't watch True Blood.

    ReplyDelete
  53. JamesJune 2, 2015 at 9:54 AM

    I can get past the title cards, if they are done well (Lost, Gossip Girl, Revenge, The Returned US, OUAT). Not a simple: "Hey, look here, it's the name of our show. And oh! See who created it!" pasted on a black background.

    Good pilot. Not the best but a decent starting point.

    I thought Lily Rabe had a couple of overacting moments, but other than that, performances were really good. I thought all the kids in particular did pretty well.

    Also, I'm gonna venture a guess that it's an alien conspiracy...
