You're right, I did come on a little strong, especially for my first post in I don't know how many years.Sue wrote:I think you have offended us a little with your first comment JL. You are making assumptions about us based on one thread. Actually I think this thread is rather uncharacteristic of us. We all want this show to succeed so much that we might freak out from time to time. Welcome back to KRO, I think if you hang around a little more and look at some other threads you’ll get a better sense of who we are and what our opinions are.
I liked the movie, no I take it back I loved the movie. That is why I am here talking to you now. Yes there were things wrong and its okay to discuss them so that we can make things better. I’m so excited and a little bit nervous to see what they are going to do to change it. But as always I remain optimistic. I really do believe NBC is doing everything they can to please us. …And then some.Scott Kirkessner wrote:yea guys lets give it a chance.
remember, we gave the movie a chance and it disappointed us - so they gave us a new showrunner who is going to try to please us, the fans.
Yeah, I still HATE that fu**in logo.neps wrote:

I've never posted on a board where people felt compelled to cry out "first" to every new thread. Maybe you have me confused with someone else, or else you're frequenting the wrong forums.victor kros wrote:I agree with Stylez assesment, save the "comic book guy attitude" for the movie spoiler forums and trekkie boards where crying out "first!" to every new thread that pops up is a matter of urgency.
No, it looks like it's a one-way street. I don't exactly start off on the best foot, you guys slag off on me, I explain myself a bit better, Neil tells you to get a grip on yourselves, and you slag off on me again. I remember this place being a lot more fun, a lot more inviting, and a lot more open to criticism. I guess you can't go home again, can you?Respect is a two way street here.
I don't think the TV movie itself was whoring for Ford; the level of product placement didn't seem to be any worse than when they roll out the new James Bond car in each movie and have Q identify it by name and rattle off all the features. It was the commercials with Mike Traceur and KITT that pushed it over the top. Hopefully they won't go that far with the series.PHOENIXZERO wrote:Seriously, if the show has as much whoring for Ford as the pilot did I'll drop it and any NBC/Universal program on their channels without a second thought. Times might have changed, but it doesn't mean they have to lose the art of being subtle or clever with product placement and tea bag us with it.
I wasn't comparing the projects themselves so much as the reactions both groups of fans are having when presented with scant information. There are people both here and there who think each project will be the greatest thing since the original, there are some who are sure it will be full of fail, and there's folks who want to wait and see before pronouncing judgment.neps wrote:I do think it's unfair to compare this to the JJ Abrams project - that would be more fair for the Glen Larson movie where it is a complete restart.
This post showed up after mine and another's, so I am a bit confused as to who you were addressing. I haven't been here 6+ years (only 4). I hope it wasn't something I said? I was more just trying to be in jest with the "Kobra Rider" remark, more a joke, really.neps wrote:Listen, I may have been out of line by not being clearer, but regardless of who started it is when it goes towards personal instead of constructive generalizing, and thats where I start to take issues.
The point I'm trying to make is lets keep this constructive! You've both been here for 6+ years, so obviously you are dedicated fans, and not just first time posters - so lets show each other some respect!
