Who's going to be tuning in tonight?!

I'm a sucker for these religious prophecy stories, and nuns. Oh - those dirty little nun outfits.

Apparently it's from the fellow who wrote The Omen screenplay. So hopefully it's equally bad ass.

Okay, back on a computer after last night.

I'm not sure what to make of the show just yet. It's not thrilling my pants off, but it's borderline kicking me off the bandwagon with it's ham fisted use of Biblical quotes after every commercial break.

Okay, I know what's implied. Can we please just move along with the story?

I don't know. I just get the feeling the writers are spoon feeding me, or treating me like a retard when they pull that shit.

Hopefully it gets better. I've got nothing better to do Wednesday nights, so I'll stick with it.

I kinda liked it. I'm more surprised they got some decent names to do a television movie.

Of course, the little "Revelations will air on Thursday next week because of the Trailblazers game" was annoying. I could give two fucks about the Trailblazers, why preempt something I would want to watch with something I won't want to watch? The Blazers are dead this year, getting a ticket to one of their last few games would be as hard as (and probably as cheap as) going to the local candy store and asking for a Twix.

Am I the only one who noticed the logo for this Revelations looks very similar to the in-game logo for the GBC game Revelations: The Demon Slayer?

The Satan Tweens!

I'd say, "Would you like to blaspheme" and they both say yes!

God daimn, they look so much alike.

*FAP* *FAP* *FAP*

This episode heads more in the direction I was hoping, with more character interaction; and less beating you over the head with scripture and less of the false pants commandos.

Bill Pullman rocks. Rent Zero Effect before next weeks episode.

I kinda like christian mythology and so far the series is fun. If only they could stop trying to persuade me that scientists are dumb and ignorant and religious fundamendalists are smart... I mean it's ridiculous.

Wait - that is?!

FUCCK!

Well. . .

+1 SATANIC POWARZ!

+1 RETURN OF THE SATAN TWEENZ!

I hope they'll give Bill Pullman some good, BITCH YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM club punching to the religious weirdos.

I was half expecting Pullman to come out of that store dressed in a red cape and blue tights.

My prediction:
Pullman's kid will be Jesus!

Isn't this only supposed to be six episodes long?

I'm hoping the network doesn't pull the same shit they pulled with that boxing program I was watching. Where they delay the release of the final episodes. That is a sure fire way to KILL my interest in watching a show.

Anyhow, checked the IMDB and Durst doesn't have any credit for Revelations; so let's just hope that's another generic white guy. :p

yeah, that was Fred. poor guy, losing his hair at his age must be horrible. His name is in the credits, at the beginning of the episode. I saw it and was like, "no, there has to be another Fred Durst somewhere in this world. Please God, let there be another Fred Durst." I was wrong. :lol

is it just me, or is the show moving slowly? They could have put the last two weeks episodes in one hour, cutting most of the extraneous crap out of them.

To me the whole thing just seems so small scale. I'd rather just see a series done on the Left behind series. Minus most of the preachy shit.

Yeah, I've got to agree that it's not quite the tug of war between science and religion that I had hoped; but maybe Gimli can change that?!

Either way
SATAN BABY ROX!

. . .

Did this show lose everybody already?

Okay, sure Bill Pullman's character isn't doing a very good job of being a pessimist; but I'll stick with it.

Funny that you mention it, it's awesomely funny seeing Fred Durst do a 30 something white loser comb job on his Allard hair. Parting that shit down the middle?! Who are you kidding buddy. :lol

I'M GONNA LET IT ALL FALL OUT!
IT'S MY WAY! MY WAY OR THE ROGAINE!

Sorry - I dunno even know if that's the same bunch of pussies. :p

Fred is bald in the show, what are you talking about? combover?

I think they could have edited the first 5 episodes into something about half that length and had the same impact. I mean, 5 episodes of exposition and now everything is going to go down in one episode?

the writing is horrific.
hey, we found a picture of a reptile creature whose heart is on the wrong side and doesn't bleed and grows body parts back and can only be killed by a special knife. OH NOES! the knives are gone in the fire. wait a minute, there's one left in the secret compartment! yay! and I'm sure Bill Pullman is going to remember what the satanist said in the second episode about not being able to bleed and be all gung-ho I'm gonna kill this bitch. sheesh.

the writing is leading everyone along like puppies to the ending with no real story to speak of, just events that keep happening.

He's not pure bald dude. He's got this sad little peach fuzz that he attempts to style. Look at it and you'll see. :p

My favorite part in the last episode is when he calls up Gimli and asks if he has some super high tech computer to arrange that sort of puzzle we've all played with as children. Come on!

This show needs more sonagram anti-christ and flying pig heads. :p

Unfortunately I'm sticking with it until the bitter end. I agree though, so far it's very much favoring the religious wackos. :/

yeah it's been a few weeks but fie on you.

the ending to this show was the absolute worst ending ever. why? it didn't really have an ending. Nothing was cleared up, nothing was ended. It was a big "SEQUAL's A-COMIN'" fuck you to everyone who watched the show.

and no, he doesn't have a combover. I'll give you the peach fuzz but it's no combover.

And the best part is that NBC canceled season 2, so nothing will ever get cleared up.

Yes, we've all just waited 6 hours of our lives!

Yeah, this section was locked down for E3.

They dropped the ball with this series. As has been stated here already, Pullman's character didn't present the sort of scientific conflict I was expecting of this. He just seemed to go along, humper-dido style.

I really liked the leader of the Devil worshippers though. He was a cool character and it helped that the actor had a creepy presence.

Total non-ending. You use the magic dagger! The bad guy falls into the water. Blah! Blah!

Ah well - I've wasted more time on dumber endeavors. :p
