Daveshayne, amen to that. I am so excited about Chuck, but still... Same ol' Adam Baldwin character. I want to see him get a chance to be cute and funny and appealing in a rough-around-the-edges way again! I want his adorableness to shine through.

Well that was craptastic!

You know what? Morena is puuurdy. Anyone else notice how she kind of turned into Inara and Adam into Jayne halfway through their first scene together?

Yeah, they did for a little bit.
All in all it was waste of perfectly good electrons. Though it started out with a good premise the middle nearly turned into a Jason flick, and the resolution was atrocious. I mean a couple dozen WP grenades makes a little campfire when hit with a LAW rocket. Sorry to say my prediction was right. The Nothing But Crap network has done it again.
Still, have to admit Adam did a great job with what he had to work with. I think it's worth watching just to see him act his part. As soon as he got sanded, it got so bad it hurt the eyes.

Had pretty much the same reaction myself. Started out okay, turned crappy not even midway through.

Oh, and FYI, the old guy in the robe, John Aniston, is Jennifer Aniston's father.

I agree, while their acting was fine, it was the usual made for SciFi crap. Can't blame them for taking a job.

The guy who played the redneck was hilarious though!

It was so bad, it didn't even show up on bittorrent. Not even good enough to steal....

Maybe some of the scene with Adam and Morena will show up on YouTube.

Adam was pretty good in the Chuck pilot. He was playing Jayne, and he's real good at that.

Funniest Adam thing? Find a copy of 'My Bodyguard'. He's seventeen, bless him, and twice the size of the other kids already. Very much 'Jayne: the teen years'. Which is kinda horrifying in itself.

If you look in the dictionary for the word painful, you will see the SciFi Original Movie logo...


Has there ever been a watchable SciFi Original Movie?

Besides Mansquito, that is?




Of course there was that little mini-series called Battlestar Galactica staring a couple of Academy Award winning actos. That was good! :-)

Oh, NCB...I'm not sure you'll want to. Although Adam and Morena are very good, the movie itself is horribly written and horribly directed.

Sorry....*shudder*

I agree with someone above, I'd love to see Adam get to be a good/bad guy, you know the lug with the mercenary soul and the loveable heart. He does that so well.
Morena is stunningly beautiful and did very well with what she had to work with.
I'm sorry though, one minute lamenting the loss of her husband, then commercial break, then falling into the other guy's arms? Eeeeep.
