There are 3 episodes. With TiVO I can get through them. I want to give it a shake. My only major complaint (given I was only paying half attention) was The O.Z. as well as a few other things they did to try to be 'hip'.

We didn't continue - my phone call went late - and I dont' think I want to spend any more of my time on that awful film. I could have overlooked the terrible villian (bad acting and bad writing) but when the Tin Man himself turned into a laughably bad character (bad acting, bad writing, and he looked over his shoulder to say every line) I knew it was curtains. A shame, because I was digging their take on Dorothy for the most part. Alan Cummings was doing his best to deal with more bad writing but it's a losing battle.

Again, I'm reminded why I support the writers' strike.

I'm confused (Not that that in itself is unusual).

What does the strike have to do with the quality of the writing? Sure the writers want more moola (who doesn't?) but how would handing them a raise make shows that suffer from poor writting any better?

That's what I thought about Twin Peaks,X-Files, Lost and Heros. I'm still waiting.

No, no, I mean, good writers that write all the wonderful things I watch deserve to be fairly paid, because without them, all TV would be like this. <shudder>

ok...saw all 3 parts..........

the sucking sound still echo's in my ears.

Spoiler:

pretty much a weak contrived fantasy story with little Wizard of Oz references thrown in, in a vain attempt to make it even remotely interesting.
DG...the girl playing the part cant act and aparrently can barely walk.
her expressions and emotions come across vapid, forced and uninspired, her on camera presense seems downright uncomfortable.

what an absolute waste of airtime

Many thanks to Capt Jack for enduring so I can feel better for not watching it :D
