OK, I saw previews for this show for about 2 weeks now and each time I thought, "I am never watching this, it looks stupid." I mean, I saw the movie Ground Hog's Day and really disliked it. Now, I have to watch it!!! This just ruins and makes my whole day. I'll support him beings he was one of my top 9 favorite people from the show.

I know what you mean. I thought the same thing about some space western by the Buffy guy.

Once again, Adam is the tallest person on the cast.
I'm getting the Groundhog's Day vibe, but to me it sounds more like Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask --he gets a certain span of time that he has to use to make a difference (as opposed to just learning a lesson, or whatever the point of Groundhog's Day was).
(In Majora's Mask, Link has three days before the moon falls from the sky and destroys Hyrule. During that three days, he has to find and awaken the Four Giants, learn a book's worth of magic spells [in the form of melodies], collect 20 odd masks that grant him various magical powers, and recover the severed remains of 12 Great Faeries so that they may be reborn. One of the first song/spells he learns is the Song of Time, which allows him to return to dawn on the First Day. He has to keep repeating the three days, slowly unravelling the secret and trying to save as many lives as possible. All of this building up to the last cycle, where he has to go through the three days and hit every goal in quick succession [gather your weapons, kill the four demon guardians, break the four curses, revive the Great Faeries, save a little girl from getting brain-raped, help two cursed lovers get back together, finish the life's work of a dead man, sacrifice each of the masks to gain new power to kill Majora, etc], saving the day in "real-time.")
I'm guessing that the season/series finale is gonna show the lead trying to make his "perfect possible" future (clear his name, stop his wife from getting killed, bring down the bad guy, stop whatever's making time repeat).

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound negative, it was just what I thought when I saw the previews. At the time I didn't know that Jayne
would be in it. My brother had to just about tie me down to get me to watch Firefly and I'm so thankful that he did, so I'll keep an open mind tonight. NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

I'm not flaming, JLin, just laughing because that's actually what I thought when I read early descriptions of Firefly. I wish the reviews for Daybreak were as glowing as Firefly's reviews were. Well, we can all hope for our BDH's sake.
Jayne is my son's favourite because he is also a big-hearted, big-framed boy.
BTW, thanks for the pics, Jadehand.

If I could watch the series I would have not one but two reasons to tune in.
Taye Diggs is always a good reason to watch a show. If he's in it HE at least will be good. Period.
I was in the theatre department with him in college. No, I didn't "know him when". He was acting, I was tech/design. He would probably have no idea who you were talking about if you mentioned me unless he'd made it a point to learn the names of everyone working and studying around him and kept a mental file on them all for over fifteen years. Everyone just sort of knew who Taye was. He had "IT". Talented. Period. A known Triple Threat.
He may have smiled at me in the hallway once, but he smiled at everyone.
If you'd ever seen his smile in person you'd remember it.
It had wattage behind it.
I still get a thrill every time I see he's doing well. It's always a happy making thing when someone you knew is doing well.
The first time I saw his name professionally was in a movie theater. I was umph months pregnant and trying to escape the heat in the air conditioned theater. There was a freestanding poster for the soon to be released How Stella Got Her Groove Back. I was reading the billing:
Angela Bassett.
Whoopi Goldberg.
Taye Diggs.
WHAT?!!?
Taye Diggs.
Nawww. But who else could it be?!
Had to wait until the release to be sure. Yes! It was him! He was good! Yay Taye! Five years had been kind to him. Every time since that I've heard he's in something I've tried to make sure I at least rented it if I couldn't get out to see it. (No pun intended.)(Rent.)(Nevermind.)
Now he's acting with Adam Baldwin. That's at least two good actors in the show. There is potential here for some serious non-suckage regardless of the rest of the cast, directors, premise, plot, and script. If everyone else is as good as those two it could be a really great show.

You know, I love Adam, really I do. But this character is slimier than Jayne could ever hope to be. Add the suit, and he's like Hamilton's evil twin. All in all, though, great show so far. It really sucks you in. Though I hope the "every day is the same" bit doesn't get too overdone.
