Spoilers Limitless - TV Series
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
While there is some talk from Eddie's ex brother-in-law about how the allows you to use all of your brain, it's clear he doesn't know what he's talking about. And it's hard to really approve of a movie where just taking a drug makes you smarter and hipper, it's really no different than the Super Soldier formula being useed on Steve Rogers to make him pysically and mentally superior.
The TV series might be able to take the concept places the movie didn't, in the movie Eddie used the drug for his own personal gain. And while he did improve his life, he rarely thoght beyond himself. But the series could go in several different directions from the movie.

Is it? The one end glamourizes that idea. I mean really who wouldn't want to take a drug that turns you into a soomebody? But then the side effects weren't explained to Eddie either for that matter. But I do think the Captain America parallel still works.
"Lucy" used that same trope more entertainingly and with a sprinkling of "2001".
There's a sequel in the works.
The premiere is coming up on the 22nd. You've got 2 weekends to catch the movie.
It's in my Netflix queue...
Starts tomorrow night.

Oh. I was planning to see the movie before I watched the show, but it's next in my DVD queue and it'll be at least two days before I can get it. Well, I guess I can record the show for later, or watch it on demand.
^Nope, not even for paid On Demand. (They do have Minority Report for pay, and I'm tempted, but I don't really have time today, and I have seen that movie a few times.)
I checked the library, and they don't have any available copies of either Minority Report or Limitless. I guess a lot of people wanted to catch up before the shows premiered.

I liked the movie and I like the show.
I was wondering why it was just our main character taking NZT. Why doesn't everyone do it? The pilot explained that pretty well but it looks like they had to tweak the side effects of going off NZT, as portrayed in the movie, in order to do so. And if I'm not mistaken, he's got two suppliers... The FBI and Eddie Morra.
There's some interesting threads to go along with the procedural aspect of the show... Eddie Morra's agenda and the mystery of who made NZT. Yep, they're taking things further with this series.
Glad there are consequences for the bank hold-up. He wasn't just let off the hook TV-style. Well, he was but you know what I mean.
Movie spoilers... Eddie was lying when he said he was off NZT.

I liked the movie, despite its flaw and liked this first episode, too. Oddly enough, Jennifer Carpenter, who I really liked on Dexter, seems very bland here--there's no intensity to her at all--very "blah," and not terribly believable. Still, I'm willing to give this a shot.
Loved seeing Bradley Cooper pop in--that was one hell of a scene, however brief. Really set a great tone. I just hope this doesn't turn out to be just another, "together, they fight crime!" show.

There's a ramping NZT arms race inplay, which is going to lead to secret police taskforce, official criminalization and a full blown Eugenics war as the masterrace pushes back against the monkeys. Which is the surface game that Bradley Cooper is playing because we don't know who invented the drug and why they sprinkled it out into the American public seemingly randomly. There is an uber game player at work above Bradley who wanted to make players to see how the US government (and others) would react/or to force the government (and others) to react predictably so as to achieve victory crieteria.
Apparently, she was 8 1/2 months pregnant during the filming of the pilot. Would that limit her abilities? I kept staring at her mouth for some reason.
