We gauge a show's potential based on making a GDT about it?

 

[serge2k]

Yes, mostly because of GDT.

Really like pacific Rim and Hellboy.

Correct. Also Pan's. If it is visually stunning and well written as it seems as it might be? Some of you will be creating many threads talking about it.

 

[Olvast]

The first book was ok, the rest of the trilogy quite bad. I have a feeling though that it might translate well to the TV screen, so I will give it a shot.

 

[BonMorrison]

Definitely will give it a shot because of GDT's involvement.

It should for sure.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

I think I will watch it!

 

[Lord Moriarty007]

GDT involvement makes going to watch it and David Bradley is a underrated British actor. Loved him in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones!

Pacific Rim was utter and complete *********, and I'm tired of infectious diseases, zombies, and vampires.

That being said, I'm still going to give this a shot.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Yes.

 

[Cor]

I'll likely give it a shot. Why not ya know?

Still a better love story than twilight

I have not read the books but it looks good to me as well.

 

[Jovavic]

Looks good enough for a try. I tried The Last Ship and it's going ok

 

[Sombastate]

I thought the first episode was fantastic. I loved it.

Can't wait for next week's episode

 

[DancesWithWookies]

Anyone Watching The Strain?

Just watched the pilot. First episode was great in my opinion. Read the books and based on Del Toro's work, I think its going to be a great show.

If you've watched it, what do you think?

 

[izzy]

Didn't know he was in on it, might have to check it out.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

Pretty good pilot. Some really creepy parts. It has my interest for the summer. FX really churning out some great shows.

 

[Virtanen18]

Creepy or scary? Creepy I can handle, but scary stuff that you can't get off your mind isn't for me. Same with jump scares.

 

[jasonleaffan]

Just watched the pilot. Seems like it will be a great show. Special effects were cheesy, but its about as much as you can expect considering its not a movie. I like the fact that its filmed in Toronto.

Need to see a bit more though, because as it stands now it looks as if its the CDC, old man, and the police vs the far superior vampires, thrulls, and I'm guessing Dracula. Not much of a fight if you ask me.

PLEASE WHOEVER HAS READ THE BOOKS DO NOT SPOIL IT FOR THE REST OF US.

Creepy at best.

This could very well be the only episode that I end up watching (I never have the commitment to watch a full series), but it was decent.

Lol Yeah then I guess this show is not for you. I can think of 2 maybe 3 jump scares.

I liked it
