Looks like a weird combination of The Hunger Games, The Postman and Book of Eli. Might be good.

Revolution looks good.

That other one, I will probably not watch.

I'd have to agree those two do look promising. The writing over time will be the key as the casts look good.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

From What I read... Resort is aiming more for a Lord of the Flies feel.. at least to start... I will definitely watch.. I'm curious how well the "rogue military" angle will be recieved.. could bwe great or could crash and burn.

Have to agree with Lothic on The Last Resort. Seems more mini series/movie than series to me.

Yeah maybe - guess we'll find out.

My main concern is that it just doesn't seem like a rogue ballistic sub could hope to "camp out" at an island forever while holding the world hostage with its nukes without somebody, somewhere coming up with some kind of sneaky Seal Team Six plan to move in and disable the sub in some way to remove the threat. It'd be a sitting duck anywhere it wasn't constantly submerged somewhere.

Like I implied this seems like an interesting plot scenario for a good movie or mini-series. But how many -seasons- of a TV show could they keep that kind of standoff going without the rest of the world reacting to take them out. One ballistic sub could do a lot of damage if it went rogue, but it couldn't take out the ENTIRE world by itself unless they come up with some kind of campy "doomsday machine" twist (like The Mouse That Roared) that would allow them to actually hold off everyone.

The Neighbours appears to be interesting. Not many shows with peace loving aliens trying to get along with humans and no hostile aliens trying to kill humans and the peace loving aliens.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

I can explain what happened in Revolution right now..

...please, somebody just say "call me Snake" out of context. Just the once. :P

By the way,not excited about CBS' Elementary - a freshly cleaned up super-detective called "Sherlock Holmes" practicing from NYC in an exciting modern take on the Conan Doyle novels...

Haven't we heard something like that somewhere before just recently? *ponders*

However, I have my own children/tween show version of the genre to launch, in which Sherlock Holmes,Wetland Detective, solves dangerous crimes in the Hundred Acre Wood.


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

That only gave me horrifying flashbacks to Dan Ackroyd consuming mass quantities.

I like Billy Burke.
I like Andre Braugher.

I'll definitely give both of these a few episodes to win me over.

With Lucy Liu as Watson it may turn out more like Sherlock and Kato.

Revolution smells a lot like Flashforward (the way ABC did it, not the original novel) with the whole conspiracy take on the world wide suppression of electricity beyond neural levels.

The Last Resort also comes across as yet another conspiracy series. So you have the sub crew on the island, their families back home and the nefarious bad guys who want to nuke Pakistan. I'm guessing the original plan was to say that sub went rogue anyways and that's why Pakistan got glassed but the Navy was too late to prevent it.

You're welcome.

Also, some actual Sherlock news: Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss et al are currently working on new scripts between awards ceremonies and extended lunches, and production will start in Spring 2013.

I still don't really buy this as a viable idea for a long lasting TV series. Even if the sub was framed and was completely innocent if the rest of the world thinks it's a "rogue sub" then the rest of the world would do everything in their power to take it out regardless if it deserved to be taken out or not. Somebody would preemptively nuke the island to kill the sub and it'd be game over. *shrugs*
