06:22 <@solios> this is fucking horrible.
06:22 <@xeno> yes.
06:22 <@solios> (I'm like....
06:22 * solios checks
06:22 <@ejp> I liked it ok.
06:22 <@solios> ten minutes in)
06:22 <@xeno> what gave it away? Sci-Fi Original?
06:23 <@ejp> solios: oh. it gets better.
06:23 <@solios> and it's all Setup and Exposition Badly Disguised As Dialogue
06:23 <@xeno> that's as far as I got.
06:23 <@xeno> exposition--
06:24 <@ejp> while I agree that Tin Man is a little heavy handed with the exposition, it is helpful
06:24 <@xeno> exposition--
06:24 <@xeno> always.
06:29 <@solios> ejp: I dunno, this is, so far, 15 minutes of doing Incredibly Badly what The Original did Incredibly Well in 5.
06:29 <@xeno> took me forever to convince it to go away
06:29 <@solios> this is like Lexx tried to do an Oz episode.
06:29 <@xeno> solios: just stosadjklfas;df
06:29 <@xeno> fuck you i liked Lexx.
06:29 <@xeno> but yeah, the comparison stands.
06:55 <@solios> THE ACTING. >_<
06:55 <@xeno> STOP WATCHING IT
06:55 <@xeno> dumbass
06:55 <@solios> no
06:55 <@solios> it's the only thing making me feel good about the current ATC page. :P
06:55 <@xeno> asdklfj;asdfj
06:55 <@xeno> solios++
06:56 <@solios> too many things I need to (easily) fix after I wake up.
Bad writing. Really incredibly bad acting, which indicates really incredibly bad directing. Adequate production design that doesn't mean shit given the bad writing and the really bad acting. This is somewhere below Phoning It In. Possibly even somewhere below porn.
Some good concepts, a decent score... the thing that's keeping my interest, oddly enough, is that Tin Man has a very Dark Tower feel to it. Not the "painkillers and pop culture" flavor of the last couple of books, but the "long after Mad Max" vibe of the second and third installments. And that might turn out to be a good thing.
