    Hancock was ok. I avoided the hype and the cinema release. I just watchedit on DVD instead. Me and the missus thought it was ok. Just ok. It felt like 2 completly different films near the end, both good, both bad!! I hope the second is better. Thats if they need to make another. Didnt they wrap up the first one. Remind me...this thing was very throw away!!

    I liked Hancock a lot more than I thought I would, even though it felt choppy, as if two separate films had been smushed together.

    Now that we have the origin story out of the way, I'm looking forward to seeing the character expand more in the sequel.
    Spiderman 2 was (to me) a great example of what could be done once the obligatory origin movie was done. Let's hope the writers have fun with it.

    If The Shield writers make Hancock 2 half as good as the poorest episode of The Shield, it will be great.

    Goal: Make the entire 2 hours of Hancock 2 as fun as the first 20 minutes of Hancock.

    No.

    The reason being: there is no need for a sequel.

    Are we talking Dexter season 1, or Dexter season 3? 'cause this could go either way.

    Season 4 looks fucking amazing so far though.

    I actually enjoyed Hancock, but I was never sure if there was enough potential or intrigue to really push a sequel.

    the american Queer as Folk and The L Word are the most far fetched sci fi ever created for television.

    SWEET! Does this mean you'll be giving us Morning Spoilers on these shows now? Please please please!


    BTW, James Marsters will be starring on Numb3rs soon.

    Also, please see my post that's under Chip Overclock's wherein I show that this is not a conundrum after all.


    I didn't know the new "improved" comments were going to put mine under his, I meant for mine to stand alone although I referenced his.


    Fannish.

    The other thing that makes these fannish is that they're mysteries. There's always been a huge overlap between SF and mystery, in both fans and writers.


    So, mysteries with techie stuff = fannish, ergo close enough to SF that we welcome it in.
