The Cape
 

So they cancel Heroes and later they pick up another Superhero themed series? The characters in The Cape have no superpowers ala Batman but the costumes look nice and Summer Glau is in it. After that I don't know what else it's got going for it.

Debuts January 9th.

i thought it looked pretty good in the few tv spots i saw.

I am intrigued and will check it out. Could be drop dead awful though.

I will probably check it out just because of its Superhero theme.

Been watching No Ordinary Family, and it is a perfectly ordinary series. Hopefully this one astounds me.

Isnt that ripping off the Big Daddy/Nic Cage Character from Kick Ass?

I caught the first two episodes. It was okay. Summer Glau looks really good but it's weird seeing her as just a normal girl.

I enjoyed it, but the first hour felt really rushed for some reason. Like everytime they hit a important point, the battle with Scales for example, the moment ended and they moved on to the next part.

Yeah it was decent enough to stick with it and see where they go with it...

Until it probably gets canceled.

Just caught the first 2 episodes On Demand. Kinda surprised nobody mentioned Spawn and how his cape was the source of his power. But I'll keep at this show for another few episodes to see where this goes.

Nice to see the lovely Summer Glau resurface. Still miss her as The Terminator. :'(

only watched the first hour so far...i like the premise....but it was really rushed. I dont like the actors playing Cape and the main bad guy.

Ill give it a chance though, kept me interested. Dude needs to get some sort of mask too...that hood is not incognito in the least

He did get a mask in the 2nd hour.

Watched it, won't bother watching it again.

I don't reckon it will go a whole season before getting cancelled.

It was okay. Ill pass on the rest. I doubt its gonna last past season one.

Randall from Scrubs! Does he punch anybody in the balls?

Just watched it. I loved it. Really love Max Malini and the other circus people. They didn't have as big a role in the second episode, though. I hope that they don't disappear entirely in favor of Summer Glau. Glau looks good, but I'm not too interested in her character. Would rather Max and the circus peeps be The Cape's "crew"/"backup".

Scales is back in episode 4.

Episode 4 is the first one I didn't outright love.

Still don't dig Summer Glau's character.

Also starting to dislike The Cape's son because of the look he has on his face all the time like there is something wrong with him or something.

Same here, pretty good episode, but it didn't seem as good as the others.

NBC has cut the number of episodes from 13 to 10 which, if they don't cancel it before then would put the last 2 episodes on February 28th. The Event has been pushed back till March 7th.

I hope they dont cancel this. Despite not liking the actors who play Cape and Chess, I strangely really enjoy the show.

The actor who plays Chess played a psychotic, obsessive vampire in True Blood.

This will be cancelled this week, or next. Just read it only did a 1.3 last night. Ouch, thats low, even by NBC standards.

Apparently Chuck could be in danger as well, but might make it because everything else on NBC is so bad and they have nothing to replace it with.

Shame if it got canceled. Better than No Ordinary Family by far.

Not even I only saw the first episode of the Cape, but I thought No Oridinary Family was better, I only started watching it for Michael Chiklis mind you. Maybe The Cape improves, but the first episode was terrible enough to keep me from watching again.

First ep was Awesome. So we agree to disagree. Or, at least I do.

Pretty interesting episode. I think The Cape should have a voice disguiser because if the Chief of Police dude was his best friend then he would recognize his voice.

Show feels like Xena Warrior Princess to me.

Yeah, that bit was a bit weird. Should have done the Batman voice or something.

Guess he is counting on the dude thinking he is dead, so even if the dude suspects something he'll just go "Nah, couldn't be".

Canceled after nine episodes. Who didn't see this coming? Be honest.

I totally saw this coming.

Well it's easy to come in having never posted in this thread and claim that after the fact. Besides, DaveBrawl already provided some info that is correct. I believe the 10th episode will be on NBC.com.

I feel sorry for Summer as her shows keep getting canned. Firefly, TSCC and now The Cape. Well it's not her fault as Firefly was good and TSCC was great but Fox sucks balls.

I liked this show, but yeah, totally obvious it was getting canceled from day one. Then again, I thought Smallville would have been canceled/ended a loooong time ago.

Smallville had a built in fan-base on more than one level and from what Ive seen actually good writing.

that being said I want to make this statement: Dear Clark put some tights on and save the planet already you pussy!

It kind of sucks that they cancelled the other 3 planned episodes, because now they have several storylines they are going to have to rush more than they normally do (such as Orwell's latest issues) and it could have been fleshed out so much more. I don't know when the last episode is going up on NBC's site, I'd imagine soon if it isn't there already, but I hope it at least manages to wrap up with a decent ending.

Strange, could have sworn I foresaw this and spoke to another poster about it (not in this thread). In any case I always felt this was a dud, it just seemed silly to me and I wasn't sure who it was supposed to attract. Sorry if it seems like I'm jumping on it after hearing it got canned, that's not how I roll.

Since NBC cut it down to 10 episodes recently I bet they had to re-film the finale and it's either still shooting or still in production. I give it at most a month because if they take too long a lot of people will probably forget about it especially with some new shows coming back very soon.

It was interesting and new and had Summer Glau in it but it didn't have much else going for it. Those of us who were watching were just enjoying the ride while it lasted.

Honestly, Summer Glau's character was probably the worst part about the show. Did not get into her at all.

They should have kept her in the shadows and had her own thing going for a while instead of turning out to be this eccentric girl who turns out to be Chess' daughter and hangs out with the Cape all the time.

That was one thing that threw me off about her character, I got why she was out in the "field" with Cape in the first episode as she was the only one that knew where he was to save him. But after that she seemed to be going out as often if not more than him, a significant change from someone that supposedly operated strictly from behind a computer.

I mean I had no problem with her trying to get more info on whatever situation they were dealing with, but it was a drastic change with no real explanation. Maybe she liked the initial adrenaline rush. :lol:

Although now that you mention the Chess' daughter part that explains where she got such nice cars in the first couple of episodes. :lol:
