Well, when the word is Alias-esque, my spidey senses tingle and I immediately take notice. Said word appeared <A HREF="http://thefutoncritic.com/rant.aspx?id=20080609" REL="nofollow">here</A> in reference to the aforementioned Christian Slater series, "My Own Worst Enemy". Hell, even the word Rambaldi appears in this review of the new series.<BR/><BR/>I'll be there to check MOWE out, but danged if I don't have doubts about this Henry/Albert thing wearing out it's welcome after a while. On the other hand, is there a decent spy-show alternative running anywhere on the planet right now? If there is, please elaborate at your earliest convenience.<BR/><BR/>Here in the frozen north, "Fringe" is getting the kid glove treatment, at least for the pilot episode. It will be appearing on one of the main networks (CTV), as well as it's eventual home (ATV, formerly A-Channel). CTV, as I have noted here several times in the past, is the outfit that thought 4:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon was the optimal time-slot for the last couple of seasons of "Alias". In other words, CTV has shit for brains, which, unfortunately, is not illegal in Canada.<BR/><BR/>Someone <A HREF="http://www.fringebloggers.com/sci-fi-wires-7-reasons-why-fringe-is-pure-win/" REL="nofollow">here</A> thinks "Fringe" is a can't miss series. I hope so, but, having seen the "leaked" pilot, I'm hoping for more excitement in subsequent eppies. With "Alias" under their belt, you would think these guys would have their lessons learned regarding how to rock a pilot.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-2310737413068561062008-08-14T16:59:00.000-07:002008-08-14T16:59:00.000-07:00Hot Diggity Damn!

Spent a good chunk of yesterday re-installing everything under the sun, since the hard drive was wiped. Hope all you kiddies back up your work religiously. That's why God invented flash drives, people!<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen any promos for Slater's new show, but it's one that is certainly on my checkout list. The buzz this season is all about "Dollhouse" and "Fringe", and I have to say I haven't heard a peep about "My Own Worst Enemy" since it was first announced in the spring. NBC's website for MOWE is up but woefully undeveloped as yet. <BR/><BR/>This <A HREF="http://www.myownworstenemy-tv.com/ew-shines-some-light-on-enemy" REL="nofollow">summary</A> is about all I know and I have to agree with SRG that this sounds remarkably similar in the obvious way to "Dollhouse". <BR/><BR/>MOWE has an "Alias" connection, aside from Slater...John Eisendrath is a co-executive producer. Eisandrath, according to IMDB was an executive producer of some 61 eppies of "Alias". Who the hell knew?<BR/><BR/>Interesting to note that this season's highly anticipated (perhaps too highly) "Fringe" stars 2 Aussie's (Anna Torv and John Noble) and a Canuck (Joshua Jackson) all pretending to be Americans. What up with that, eh? Canada, or more specifically Toronto, has the honour of pretending to be Boston in the "Fringe" pilot, after which filming moves to NY. Whether NY will pretend to be Boston is anyone's guess. <BR/><BR/>FOX seems to be throwing everything they've got behind "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles". I notice Season 1 episodes were running for days in a row this week in preparation for September's re-launch.<BR/><BR/>Last year's TV season was a total bust, so I'm hoping for some actual quality viewing this season.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-46576435488881577412008-08-14T11:13:00.000-07:002008-08-14T11:13:00.000-07:00yeah I just saw commercials for it last night, cal...yeah I just saw commercials for it last night, called "My own worst enemy." Sort of sounds like the same premise as Dollhouse where he leads a second life as some kind of agent but doesn't remember it the next day. He wasn't an agent on Alias, he was the mathematician, but kind of a cool idea for him to do a show like that.SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576968119404544145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-6069679197156371912008-08-14T10:08:00.000-07:002008-08-14T10:08:00.000-07:00The Slater show looks interesting, but I don't kno...The Slater show looks interesting, but I don't know much about it. <BR/><BR/>Page48?uncle111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648380991715575787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-19950284944801655492008-08-14T08:32:00.000-07:002008-08-14T08:32:00.000-07:00Anyone seeing previews for a new show with Christi...Anyone seeing previews for a new show with Christian Slater?
