my ratings out of 5:
acting 1 (only for kellie martin)
directing 0.5
dialogue 0 (never mind how infernally fast actors spoke when dealing with comic-book technology so
we couldn't understand)
story 2.5
script 1
set design 3
i quit after about 40 minutes. pathetic and ghastly and manipulative. too much speed-talking. too
much background music (bad pop) for who knows what reason. the premise was quite good. the
execution was as bad and as cynical as it could be.

comments below the youtube trailer say this show sucks.

wow, that was truly awful!
i haven't seen acting that bad in a while!

yep, fairly terrible. but i think it was the writing more than the acting.

through out the whole thing there where random 'heart to heart' moments where people went on about
their feeling and such. it's crap that would have gone in a chick show like gilmore girls or ghost whisperer
(although it doesn't really fit in there either) but is totally inappropriate for the kind of show that it is.

then there was a whole the da vinci code part, it wean't along the line of:
"pause video"
"pause?... thats it... pause... we can 'pause' the nanobots!"

and then:
"how would you control nanobots?"
"i would write an phone app"
"which are written on computers!"
"there's a computer in his lab!"

it has better visual effects the eureka but other than that is fairly shit. also since it was a first ep i doubt
the gfx budget would have kept up.

shit computer-generated music. shit acting. and the guy's mom has just one of those really annoying
face/voice combo. and to top it all, the first few scenes, showing her as the hard working supermom
not being recognized by her peers made my teeth cringe so hard, every feminist in this country could
hear it.

don't waste your time.

agreed. it sucks. i have a headacke..

i think you guys are missing the point. the show was obviously created with a much younger audience
in mind. it was probably designed to interest youth in the sciences. and with emails written in by
the kids watching the show, you'll probably see the flaws in the plot slowly disappear.

not a bad show for the age group it's made for.

well i dont know what half of you are complaining about, i just watched it and thought it was quite
good, yeh it has a few little flaws, but lets be honest there has been much worse, maybe if you just
watch the show instead of watching it to just pick faults you may actually have a show you like for
once, and i totally agree with "tez57".
