Rip, upon further scrutiny I concur. The scales do cover the entire screen. Morena’s skin is so flawless I was kinda thrown off there a second.
There was a question that came up somewhere. Why are the people clapping? I agree. Realistically they should be running for their basements. I do hope that the writing is good. I know Morena and Alan and the rest of the cast will be professional…..hope that they have decent material to work with.

All I'm saying that as her face moved, the "scales" didn't indicating they were not part of her face.

Mal: You think she'll hold together?
Zoë: She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true.
Mal: Could be bumpy.
Zoë: Always is

I agree about the clapping. Um . . . why? To quote another classic sci-fi movie:
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
There would be people running and screaming all over the place regardless of the pretty lady talking on the ginormous screen hanging over the city.

I miss Morena's hair. It was every so pretty. The short hair just doesn't do it for me.
The clip had me interested right up until the clapping. That made me very worried that the writers have no idea how a person acts. I hate writing that molds people around a scene or a plot device. If you want to get from point A to point B you need a good reason for the people to get there. The clapping is so jarring it destroys the suspension of disbelief.

Yeah the clapping was very confusing and unrealistic. I hope it's explained and only seems idiotic out of context. They'll have to be the greatest writer's on TV to make that seem plausible!
............. uh... yeah.. I somehow doubt that.
Oh well, it'll be cool to see Morena and Alan on TV again. Plus other than the clapping part I thought it looked fairly interesting.
I really hope they can explain that...
And I totally didn't connect the "scales" to her skin, even though I knew about the connections it would have to the original series. I guess that falls under the category of "We all see things in different ways". For the record, however, the "scales"(panels or cells would be more accurate) do not move with her face. Watch it again if you don't believe me.

Let me see if I'm understanding the pattern here.
They take a medicre SF TV series called Battlestar Galactica and remade it into a better.
They take a medicre SF TV series called "V" and remade it into what we hope will be a better.
Now, could they see their way clear to taking a superiod SF TV series called "Firefly" and remake it?

Ugh I kinda hope not. I don't think I could put up with them remaking the series. There are always changes in a remake and I don't think I could put up with "we decided to make Mal and Kaylee merge into the new Maylee character".

Yeah... uh no. First of all calling BSG a better series than the original is accurate I suppose, though I still didn't care for it. Furthermore suggesting a remake of Firefly is bordering on sacrilegious around here. Possibly even heretical and traitorous... so I advise a bit more caution with that sort of suggestion.
But back on topic. This seems like an excellent series to remake as it's not particularly well known and has themes that would easily fit into the modern setting. Hopefully they will pull it off. However, it's never a good sign when you have ridiculous logic problems in the first little teaser.
