    It's taken them longer than anticipated to get the first season ready to go. I seem to recall it was originally planned to premiere last year. Jonathan Nolan says the production shutdown was due to simply needing more time to build and stage a Western-c*m-Sci-Fi epic the likes of which have never been seen. Then again, who knows.

    I hope the delay is due to wanting to really blow people's socks off, because that trailer looks terrific. Been really excited to watch this one since the full cast was released. Hope it wasn't shelved for a year because it was sorta lame.

    Sooooooooooo huge Medieval World story lines?

    This delay is killing me. Can't wait to see this. Hopefully they keep the completely unnecessary hyperjet.

    It looks interesting, but I think I'm going to wait for a few episodes to air before I decide if I want to start it. Part of me thinks it has potential but another part of me thinks this could just be awful. I hope it's the former.

    That was SUPER WEIRD (never watched the movie it's based on), but I think I liked it. Interested to see where it goes.

    Well acted, although the talks between "management" seemed forced at times.

    Also seems weird not being able to locate guests or hosts regarding that one guy in black.

    The guy in black is probably Neo like a la The Matrix.

    I think the staff is well aware of where they all are, just don't care. MIB is looking for a secret hidden in the park, since there's a map type thing he found in the scalp, that was meant to be found.

    Oh was that a map? Thought it was just circuit design that was part of the brain.

    I can't help but think this is a perfect example for code review and a change control process. :rolleyes:

    Assumed it was a map or some sort of code or clue since he seemed to zero in on that particular character.

    I thought it was very good. There were two important parts for me. The one where the conversation asked what were the managers/shareholders/players(?) interests. And the malfunctioning dad that was set as a cult leader.

    The possible story lines for this show could be really almost limitless.

    I loved both aspects, especially of the saloon heist scene.
