Saw this last night.

Rikki frickking Schroder.

Is it me, or did we expect this guy to be a lot prettier in this amazing future back when we were watching Silver Spoons?

Weird show, you think its all Disney, and then ZANG it just goes dark.

Agent Richard07 · January 4 2011, 06:10 PM

I saw 1x11 last night as well, but I'll have to comment later.

trekkiebaggio · January 4 2011, 07:36 PM

I haven't seen 1x11 yet but I have been enjoying this show a great deal.

I re-watched Star Trek last week and only just realised that JJ is young Kirk!

Borgminister · January 4 2011, 08:55 PM

Stopped watching after 7-8 episodes... show can't decide what it wants to be. It does fluff pretty badly, and often, and noir quite well, but rarely.

No one better tell Dekker, he might take advantage of this opportunity to kill young Kirk so that Shatner doesn't take The Enterprise away from him and his bald Girlfriend isn't eaten by V'Ger.

It's really weird when they show us "cast photos" and the villains are just ordinary people chumming around with their coworkers.

I thought the show was good at first, but it's quickly become very silly like a lot of shows have this season. I'll really be surprised if it gets picked up for a 2nd season.

Guy Gardener · January 5 2011, 02:08 AM

I thought it started silly and then begun to get good. as you saw it pushing past the silly.

Not great, but not Zoom Academy either.

Mr Light · January 5 2011, 02:32 AM

I started off really not caring about this show, but as it went along it definitely got better and I liked the characters a lot more.

Showdown · January 5 2011, 05:11 AM

Thumbs up. I like the characters. Its a nice mix of comedy and drama.

Agent Richard07 · January 5 2011, 06:01 AM

I wonder if Katie's first time will result in her getting pregnant with a super-powered kid. This could very well be a way to work in Autumn Reeser's real-life pregancy.

The actress, 30, is expecting her first child with husband Jesse Warren. She has already devised plans for incorporating her pregnancy into her No Ordinary Family character's story line. "My character is not so great with men, but it is a superhero show, so it could be a magical something that just happens," Reeser told Jimmy Kimmel. "You never know -- stranger things have happened!"

If they go this route, it'll make things intersting. Unfortunately, I see cancellation as a real possibility in the not too distant future.

Never knew that.

Also, the mid season finale with whatsherface losing her memory was resolved rather quickly.

DeadmeatDiggory · January 5 2011, 08:17 AM

You know, I like this show, but I don't see it moving past the premise they have going on right now... like ever, and that's the reason why I don't see it getting a second season.

Checkmate · January 5 2011, 09:53 AM

I'm really enjoying the show and applaud them for going relatively slow and letting the superhero aspects build over time. And it is most definitely building, despite what people around here seem to think.

I think the biggest problem people have is the show isn't what they wanted it to be, thus it's rubbish by default. Which is complete and total nonsense if you ask me.

It's a family show. It's not a hardcore sci-fi/superhero fantasy extravaganza. Once you get past that ignorant preconceived notion, it magically transforms into a really nice little show. But people around here can't seem to get past their own limitations like that.

Oh well. Their/your loss.

Mr Light · January 5 2011, 12:43 PM

Maybe I missed a bit but how did they resolve the daughter loosing her memory?

Speaking of the lab assistant, she is extraordinarily beautiful. My god.

Group mind meld.
