Kings - Zouji - 03-27-2009
Is a new show on NBC. It comes on on Sunday nights. Apparently one of the creators of Heroes is the creator for it. Kings is modern day reinterpretation of the story of King Saul and David before he was king. It has a lot of long winded speeches, but I actual enjoy all the talking. The show looks gorgeous in hi def btw. They also appear to have fleshed out the story by adding Shakespearean elements to it. God of course plays a major indirect role in the show since this is a reinterpretation of an old testament story.
I really like this show. They have had 3 episodes so far. First two episodes were shown back to back to start the series off.

just more unoriginal crap
i'd rather watch Battles BC about the biblical battles than some stupid bible inspired soap opera

I was thinking about watching this since I have 0 shows left besides lost. I guess I'll give it a shot.

Yea the previews looked interesting. Did see the first 3. Ill probably wait for the DVD's to come out though.
As for Deadwood, I so wish they would have kept that show going. It was great.
Another great one was Carnival.
- Skelas - 03-27-2009
I was so disappointed when they cancelled Carnival. There were some amazing episodes in that series, and then to leave it with uber evil guy alive after all that, man there was so much more story to get to.

There were supposed to be 3 'acts' to the story and the first 2 seasons were just the first one.. That was a great show.
Haha its funny to see this weeks Lost, it had E.B. from Deadwood in it.
- Vanraw - 03-27-2009
Was there ever a book written on the other 2 acts for carnival? Or was it just the story line concept.
Never understood why HBO caned those 2 shows. I thought they loved critical acclaim. I guess they are just rating whores like the rest of them.
- Jakensama - 03-27-2009
The creators released alot of info on how the mythology works and what they were planning. There were rumors of a mini series to tie stuff up but it never materalized.
The show was too expensive for HBO, i think it was something like 3 mil an episode.

I swear you should have starred in Deadwood Skelas. Verbally I think you'd have been fucking perfect.
But I watched kings, and I thought it was ok. Truthfully I think Ian makes the show, I'd watch just about anythign with him acting in it.
