Can't wait until Sunday to watch THE CAPE? Own an iPad or iPhone? Watch it Now! http://bit.ly/gfuvXj

That would work if I could buffer the stream, but since my internet isn't capable of handling such a HQ file via streaming and the app apparently won't let me buffer it, I can't watch it. Anyway. I need to go shake my fist at the internet company again. ;)

Oh well.

I just watched it on my iPad after dinner. Pretty interesting first hour. Some of the dialog was a bit cliche but it looks promising. I will give it a chance.

Does Summer Glau only have one set of facial expressions? She still just reminds me of the Terminator in the Sarah Connor Chronicles... hee hee

That's odd. Is it your internet provider or your wireless setup?

Awesome theme music! Very nice and interesting article on "The Cape" at the link below that goes into some of it's comic book tones. I'm really looking forward to this series and hope that NBC gives it a good chance.

Getting excited for this in about 30min. on NBC. There's a neat little breakdown of someone giving reasons for both how the show may fail or succeed. Some very slight spoilers (pics) and things here at this link but nothing big.

No, its the internet provider. Rather than fix it though, they just blame us and hang up the phone. I've given up trying. They have a monopoly on us, they know it and we have few choices.

And before you say "Maybe they are right", one of their techs admitted that the DSL line had interference in it but said that it must be that we didn't connect a phone to a filter. I've only checked our phones about 10 times now and they still have that "magic" filter. Regardless, they refuse to listen and would rather we just suffer.

That music is cool! Sounds very superhero classic. Can't wait for the show either.

Bryancd · January 09, 2011, 06:49:26 PM

We are going to record this and watch it this week. I hope Jamie likesit!

Rico · January 09, 2011, 08:14:16 PM

Just got done watching the first two hours and liked it. Has a few cliche moments, but for comic book fans this show is going to be great. Some cool action, fun bad guys, etc. Off to a promising start.

P.S. I want Orwell's (Summer Glau's) car in this show!

RickPeete · January 09, 2011, 08:23:58 PM

I SO want Orwell's car too! Very sweet!

I liked the show as well. I am hoping it will progress quickly as we see how The Cage develops his abilities and begins to utilize his detective skills. I kinda wonder if this is going to be a little 'Batman-like' in terms of brain AND brawn used to deal with the bad guys.

He needs to work on the flight thing tho. The cape did not appear to be able to hold his weight for gliding. Perhaps that was because he did not deploy it correctly this time?

It was fun to watch!

They are also rerunning the opening episodes tonight on NBC once more. Hopefully two nights of the premiere will get more people on board.

QuadShot · January 10, 2011, 07:29:08 AM

I enjoyed it a lot. It has a great mix of drama, action and humor. I kept half expecting Summer to click into her River role and kick the crap out of the bad guys! :)
I hope they don't screw this show up like Heroes got screwed up though. I really like The Cape and think it could have a future, should they decide to keep the spirit...Al
