O'Quinn and Emerson series

[DarthPipes]

Around the time Lost was ending, Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson talked about an idea they had for a show where they played aging hitmen. Looks like that idea has gained some serious traction.

I'd watch a show with these two in a second.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Fan-fucking-tastic! I would watch those two reading the yellow pages. They easily had the best chemistry on the entire show and I look forward to any projects they do together. And with a title like Odd Jobs, it has to be good!

 

[Aeon]

Bring it on!

 

[McCoy]

You had me at 'O'!

When they stunt cast fellow Lost co-stars in guest roles, it should be against type, like Naveen Andrews or Josh Holloway playing clueless wimps or Jorge Garcia as the ultimate badass.

Yes, I will watch this. I will watch this very very much. Some network had better pick this up. Now, even. Not kidding.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Sounds like it could be a very self-indulgent show, but what the heck, I'll give it a shot. But I'd rather see those two guys in a premise a bit more um original.

I see what you're saying Temis, however I personally would only call it self-indulgent is if it was a clear award grab... like every movie Will Smith has been in recently. This seems like they just enjoy working together, which I respect. Does that mean it will be good? Not necessarily, but I think with these two people on the screen, there's a good chance that this will be very worth watching.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Damn...that was a quick pick up!

Was there ever any doubt? These guys are solid gold right now. Boo for it being on NBC, though.

I'm not sure... I don't think it's NBC's fault their shows suck. Heroes failed NBC, not the other way around. From what I hear, Chuck is quality television, it just doesn't have a wide audience (NBC is even giving it the best Primetime slot).

NBC will never give up on a show that's doing well and I think Lost hype will sell this pretty well. You know, I've heard a lot of differing opinions on Locke and Ben, but I've never heard anyone say anything but praise the acting of Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson. My dad who doesn't like the show (He doesn't like Season 2 Jack and Kate, which I can understand since they both make horrible choices) says he will continue watching all the way through because of Terry O'Quinn's John Locke (He hasn't met Ben yet). So I feel like that says a lot.
