[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 6382485, member: 9053"] I pretty much agree. The problem with Gotham is that there isn't that much room to work with unless you don't care about character canon. Maybe they won't. From what I've seen of it, it looks good, and sometimes that's enough for a while. On The After, you may very well be right. I didn't get a clear sense at all of where things were going, but with Chris Carter that's to be expected. Similarly, I found that I didn't care about the characters very much, which the show is going to live and die with. If I compared it with the Walking Dead, I'd say that as soon as I was introduced to Rick, I cared about him. In the scene in the first episode where he goes back to the one zombie he saw earlier and says "I'm sorry this happened to you," I knew I was going to be watching the show. As the ensemble cast developed, I found that I liked a lot of them. Unfortunately the ones I've liked the most tend to have a pretty short life span (Dale had such a strong moral compass to him that I was really sad to see him go, and Merle, well, he was a good bad guy). The thing about this season is that there are a lot of shows that nerds might find interesting, but it's hard for me to actually be excited about any of them. Except for the Mike Tyson Mysteries, where I wonder if it is going to be as much of a train wreck as my imagination suspects, or if it will be worse. [/QUOTE]
