Kings 6/13 [spoilers]

[Agent Richard07]

^ Funny, because I could never understand why people complain about sex and nudity on television.

But it's not just the marketing. The content just wasn't there.

The story got more interesting and the characters grew on me. The same might have happpened to you and others who gave up if they had stuck with it. Like I said upthread, things really got going.

 

[Mr Light]

Because unlike violence, sex is an imitable act for our impressionable youth?

 

[IndyJones]

To be fair, there was a lot of advertising for the pilot. It's just too intellectual a show. Premiering in ?March? didn't help either, that's a dumping ground.

I'm very glad that Thomasina gave Rosencrantz that kiss---very sweet.

I must have walked out of the room at some point, when did this happen???

It is the scene just before that great courtroom scene at the end.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The different ways that people responded to God's peculiar ways of not expressing his will clearly, and the baffling reasons behind it are interesting. (Yes, yes, I know BattleStar Galactica didn't even notice the problem, but for real people it usually is of direct, personal interest.)

Time for a totally irrelevant thought I just had. I thought of this when I first heard about this show and people were trying to work out exactly when, or if, this show takes place in our history. Well, it doesn't have to...Maybe Kings takes place on Kobol.

(Or, if they have ever mentioned Earth on this show, which I wouldn't know since I gave up fairly early on, maybe it's this one... )

 

[Checkmate]

It's not Kobol. :P They've already mentioned a few people form our history and when David went to recover the charter, we saw the Ark of the Covenant (looking just like the one in Indiana Jones) in a crate nearby along with other stolen religiousy items.

 

[Guy Gardener]

God should have been a character with lines in this "epic missstart"and it would have made so much more sense, just like the greek gods should have been in that snore excuse fro Pitt to take his shirt off Troy.

But really, I don't like it how David wound upas gods Gimp just bowing over for destiny in a rigged game, meanwhile smarter and better (wo)men are being genius and devious to work the system with long thought out protracted machinations built with guile and underpinned with strength of character and putting their shoulder to the wheel too in a very literal sense.

It's just wrong.

Now, what I must be subconsciously getting at is that I would much rather have liked to have seen the modern day story of Job than David.

Well, in a universe where this can happen:

Spoiler: BSG

a Cylon can write "All Along The Watchtower" and 150,000 years later, Bob Dylan comes along and writes it AGAIN

... anything's possible.

 

[Anwar]

I'll just have to disagree with Temis on this since I was drawn to King Silas from the beginning as a very compelling character. Heck, even though the Bible itself let us know he was a dead man it still couldn't make me stop liking this guy. The rest of the cast grew on me, especially Jack. When it started he was poised to be the main villain and yet we've seen real depth of humanity and kindness from him to the point he's as much a hero as David.

As a side note, at least we have a good candidate for Norman Osborn if they ever reboot the Spiderman Movies in Dylan Baker (William Cross).

 

[Mr Light]

He's already the Lizard though Reboot confusion!

 

[Anwar]

He's already the Lizard though Reboot confusion!

Well, they never made him the Lizard in the Raimi movies so far and I doubt anyone would complain that much.

He does fit the ruthlessness of Norman so far, though as Norman he'd be even worse than Cross but I think Baker can pull it off while putting up a mask of being a nice guy that hides the monster within (though Cross really isn't that evil).

Sebastian Stan (Jack) would work as Harry too if you put them both together.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Dylan Baker says he still wants to be Lizard though.

 

[Anwar]

Really? Too bad because thanks to his turn as Cross I could buy him as Norman Osborn, only he'd have to be colder and bit harder. Just take Rose and William's characters and fuse them together, cast Baker and you get a good Movie Osborn for a reboot (since they can't just get Dafoe again).

Anyone notice the pic of two babies which suggests perhaps a long lost twin or just another sibling...? Shame it will never have a chance to go anywhere...

 

[Mr Light]

I find it hard to take Dylan Baker as a sinister figure. It seems like everything I've seen him in was vaguely comedic, and he just has a very cartoony face.

 

[IndyJones]

I think Jack and Michelle are twins.

 

[Anwar]

They are, it was mentioned a few episodes back that they were twins though Michelle was a minute older.

Oh, well... no need to worry about that then.
