okay watched this show, and it has to have the stupidest writers/producers in
creation. i say this because halfway through you get the 'free will' speech
from one of the hero's friends and i was instantly thinking, 'the guys right,
how are they going to explain that away?' of course they didn't which to me
wrecks the whole suspension of disbelief, its a basic rule of tv and movies
that you don't have a character ask a question you can't answer and that's
exactly what they did and wrecked the show's internal logic.
errr, blackstar, it's a comdey. if you are one of those arts students who
cares about lighting and camera angles and the lens they use and the colour of
the set etc etc etc then maybe this isn't for you. for all the normal people
out there, this is a very funny show (or at least the pre-air was, i haven't
seen this one with the new chick).

umm i was discussing the plot and basic premise of the show but obviously you
think those are on a par with lighting. i don't require a show to be
incredibly clever or dark or serious; i enjoy the likes of burn notice, psych,
and eureka, none of which have found it necessary to have a character explain
in the middle of an episode that the show's premise doesn't make sense.
blackstar:
it's answered in the last couple of minutes of the (s01e01) pilot. the main
character states: "...but i think i want to!", etc. choice = free will.

just because you don't fully understand a criticism doesn't make the criticism
(or the critic) incorrect. loudly indicating that you missed the point,
however, does happen to make you look ignorant.

i think you missed the part where the devil threatened to take his mother
instead of him if he doesn't do what he asks? sure, there's "free will," but
that is only a technicality when someone is holding a gun to your head.
