THE CAPE | “Pilot” & “Tarot” (Jan. 9) *Spoilers!* - Page 7

Finally got to see these...the "Pilot" was good...it did feel rushed...should have been 2 hours on that and then "Tarot" which was paced better and I thought it was good too.

Summer Glau...

I am liking this show so far.

Now, that maybe different, as Summer and the guy playing Chess are close in age that would be challenging to believe.

Summer Glau- 29
James Frain - 42

Considering that Glau looks several years younger than her age (still), I think they have sufficient wiggle room there.

The bigger hold-up is that it would be too cliched.

Its a comic book

Just because it's based on a comic book doesn't mean we need to settle for crap. Low standards is what doomed Heroes.

Seriously wasn't Heroes an attempt to put "super" characters into a real world like the Wild Card series of novels or

what was the name of the 90s comic book company? I don't see The Cape as trying to be a "real" guy with some skill or supernatural gift living in "our world' but rather a comic book world

The Cape WAS not a comic book before it was created as a TV show.

Do some of you actually think the cape is an adaptation of soemthing beloved and cherished by millions of fanboys all over the world?

It's basically rape.

Ongoing.

It is missing some charm...like SMALLVILLE had in the early seasons...I can see that they are trying to get that with Vince and his family...but it isn't emotional enough. I really don't like Chess/Peter Fleming...I think the whole ARK thing doesn't have enough edge. Orwell being kinda like Watchtower(Smallville) is interesting and I find her more interesting than the other characters to be honest...and Raia as played by Izabella Miko

As a psuedo comicbook/superhero series...it isn't as bad as some of the comments make it out to be...but it is far from great....and being on NBC doesn't help.
