2011-12 pilot season

I meant Re: Jamie Bamber. I realize they have to pick up the pilot and all that, but I wonder if they're going to write him out.

Maybe. But he also only has to shoot six-and-a-half episodes, basically; they can shoot the policework while another director shoots their court scenes. Even if they started tomorrow (I don't know whether or not they've started shooting yet), they should have time to shoot the next series before his new show gets picked up & starts...
 
Kiefer Sutherland cast in Touch as dad of precognitive autistic son.

This premise sounded corny to me at first, but Sutherland would be awesome in the role of an average dad who has to protect his son from all the insanity that is sure to emerge. This one goes on my must-see list. :bolian: Hopefully Tim Kring won't get bored of his characters after the first season and add a bunch of new characters everyone hates.

And I'm not sure if "precognitive" is overstating things - he just may be extremely observant. Maybe this show will be like 24: honorary sci-fi.

In other pilot casting news, hot guy who looks sorta like Tom Cruise cast in lead for Grimm.

Grimm centers on Nick Burckhardt (Giuntoli), a good-looking detective who starts to see humans as beast/animals and discovered that he has a legacy - to protect "humans" from these beasts.

Ooookkkkaaayyyy...hot guy = I give it a shot, but I really dunno about this one. :rommie: Let me get this straight, he thinks humans are beasts and then he need to protect humans from humans?
 
Evil dude cast as lead of Inception rip-off.

One of the hottest actors this pilot season, Jason Isaacs, is off the market. After fielding more than half-dozen offers, Isaacs has settled on the lead role in NBC's drama pilot REM, from Lone Star creator Kyle Killen and 20th Century Fox TV. In addition to starring, Isaacs will serve as producer on the project, described as an Inception-style thriller. It centers on a cop (Isaacs) who wakes up after an accident to find he is living in two different realities.

I always think of that guy as evil. Not sure I can buy him as the sympathetic lead of a series. They should have stuck with Sand Men as the name, too.

So who will play the rest of his team, namely: the hip young tech nerd; the sassy, sexy girl who wants to be taken seriously; and the token black guy? :rommie:
 
So a zombie show on the CW. Will these zombies be young and white with abs of steel, no rotting flesh and filled with angst?
 
Looks like there isn't much interest about pilot season around here. The liveliest pilot season discussion always seems to be at zap2it.

PS, the zombie show is being mentioned favorably. There may be zombie lawyers in our future. :)
 
Teenage zombie lawyers, cops, firefighters, nurses, and paramedics. In the jungle. With superpowers. And vampires. Produced by Shonda Rhimes. The network executive's perfect show.
 
Falling Skies has a premiere date:

Falling Skies – Two-hour series premiere Sunday, June 19, at 9 p.m.; regular timeslot Sundays at 10 p.m.

Noah Wyle (ER) stars in this drama series from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg about the aftermath of an alien invasion and the resistance movement formed by the survivors.
I'm hopeful it will be a good, kick-ass action show, which seems to be lacking on TV right now. Doesn't have to be smart like The Walking Dead or have a lot of complication to the aliens like V. Just good humans blowing up bad alien invaders. Bonus points if the humans limit squabbling and angsting over morality, and just frakking get on with the mayhem!
