Everyone needs to let me know how this show is! Maybe I'll eventually check it out for Summer Glau and James Frain!

i watched the first half hour, could NOT get into it. haha. So, I wont be watching.
The plot was just moving too fast for me, and i thought it was really weird. and i didnt think the acting was great either. oh well, gave it a chance! |

I DVRed it and watched it during my workout. I loved it! I officially have a new show.
I love Faraday, Fleming, Orwell, Max, Rollo...so many, which is rare for me. lol And I feel kinda bad since Vince is married, but I completely ship him with Orwell. The moment htey met, they stole my heart! And omg, when they both saved each other, gah! I'm not a girl who's into the bad boys; I prefer the geeks. But when it comes to comis, I love the villains as well as the superheroes. I love Fleming and Faraday, sfm - both pwn! I love Jame Frain [he was so great as Forney in Where the Heart Is and loved him as Paul on 24]. David Lyons also pretty great. I kept drooling over both of them. I can't wait until next week! |

OMG I love it ! I wasn't bored for a second, this is the kind of show I love. What a surprise from NBC. The music, the characters, the acting, amazing! The perfect mix of reality and fantasy, not to mention the comic book atmosphere . I'm completely sold. Also love the Circus, it adds a lot, the best parts were there. The training was so fun to watch, and the chemistry between Vince and the Circus characters is really good. Max is a badass . By the way, I love the comedy, it comes naturally and when it's necessary for the show.
I really liked Vince's wife, but the whole "awww perfect happy family" scenes were a bit too much for me. And if a duo has promising chemistry, it's Vince and Orwell . This show has strong female characters. I freaking love Orwell already, she's so awesome, sexy, smart, sneaky, guuuh . There wasn't enough of her, and I don't want her to be just a sidekick . But let's see. I liked that the plot moved fast, I need a show that gives answers fast sometimes. The flow of the whole thing was perfect. But anyway, loved the 2 episodes, so much potential, great villains and great mythology. Can't wait for more . __________________

I really like this show and got into pretty quickly. Orwell is s my favorite character so far but I do like Faraday. James Frain rules at playing villian characters. Did a good job in True Blood and I think he will do good on this show.

Totally agree with you, especially about getting into the show quickly. I thought I would need both episodes to get hooked, but actually it was 20 minutes .
Chess is brilliant . __________________

I just went to Spoiler TV to see if there was any new stuff and there's a poll about the episode. It just got me upset. I can't believe how many critics wannabes are there . I can't believe the level of nitpicking , people just can't sit and enjoy anymore, God. Anyway, let the wannabes suck at trying, IDGAF and I love the show.

Okay I officially have a new favorite superhero now!
Vince Faraday David had me sold from the second he came up on screen. I was heartbroken for his family of course (though like most of you I am quickly abord the Faraday/Orwell ship ). The training was badass too especially when he left the carnies. Peter Fleming There are so many bad guys on this show but I must say Chess is my favorite so far. I always love those storylines when the bad guys pretend to be good with the city but hidden beneath the mask is their evil ways. Orwell I have always been a fan of Summer Glau so I was thrilled when I found out she was coming out on this. She certainly did not disappoint. She was badass both as the blogger, the sidekick, and the fighter. I was on the edge of my seat when she went up against Poison. Max Malini & The Carnies Definately a new twist to those who train superheroes, these ones turned out to be crooks and lowlifes but I was sold on the story. LOL and the twist with death was hilarious. Seriously thought he was gonna die for a second and I was heartbroken because I didn't want him to die and then sure enough he didn't. Final Thoughts Love all the elements to this. It has a kind of dark crusader/Batman thing to it and then you've got the whole 'Dark Angel' thing going with Orwell much like Dark Angel had Eyes Only. I had no idea this was gonna be two hours but I stuck around for every second. I had been waiting for this show for over a year and it certainly did not disappoint! __________________

So are any of you hoping that they start making actual comics/graphic novels for The Cape? Watching the episode and seeing the comics Vince read to Trip; I so badly wanted them too!
Hey everyone, so I have made some icons from the opening credits if anyone's interested. Once I get the episodes I'll be capping and making more icons. MORE HERE! __________________
