…just for one season. Or ten. Who knows.<\/p>\n
Watched the first episode rerun last night of this new X-Men meets Lost series (even though I saw Ali Larter talking about how it’s NOT The X-Men on some NBC local news promo shill over the weekend, she’s WRONG, shocker) and it was not at all bad.<\/p>\n
The dialogue is frequently too “on the nose,” just a bit too easy. It felt somehow comic-booky, like I’d totally buy the occasional bit of heavy handed exposition if it were written instead of spoken.<\/p>\n
But otherwise, I’m intrigued. The characters are an interesting mix, the direction and editing created some very cool\/spooky moments (especially when Larter’s character wakes up after killing those dudes–WHOA) and since there’s at least one comic book writer on board (Jeph Loeb), I think they’ll keep the revelations coming fast and furious, unlike another show that Mr. Loeb used to work for that takes place on a desert island.<\/p>\n
No, not FANTASY Island. Idiot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
