The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Green Hornet had a lot of development problems with multiple starts and stops.

The tone of that teaser is about what I'd want in an Alias show, so...good.

I'm still mad that they changed the name of the show so I can't just call it "Akka Jay Jay" for short when I'm trying to blend in with the cool kids of today.

Be thankful you were spared being made fun of for not knowing it's "Ay Kay Ay Double Jay" obviously, gawd. :rolleyes:

I hope they kept the shot of a dude being thrown through the Alias Investigations sign as the opening of the first episode, like in the comics. It's such a perfect tone setter.

I wonder if they'll note that is the same goo that gave Matt his powers?

Though I always thought that and Jessica going to school with Parker were done more as jokes than anything.

They've already begun reprinting the trades under new branding.

I'm pretty sure Smallville was deliberately taking the piss after a while.

Although I feel like they should give Justin Hartley a small role in the DCTVverse as consolation prize.

He's already working for CBS in a soap opera, it shouldn't be a leap to contract him for a small role on a CW show.

I think they're probably the best live action costumes for the hawk people you could make at this point in time (on a television budget). The test will be the flight effects.

Completely agree. Thought beyond just the flight effects, the wings themselves will also be a test. That's really where the costume can fall apart and look like a joke.

I'm yet to see someone flying in a tv show that doesn't look bad. At least up close, maybe all the shots will be from a distance?

Giant wing/flying effects is one of the things the Syfy show Dominion does really well.

That was my first thought as well. I know the current size is probably more realistic to what would be practical, but they're flying super-aliens. They don't need to be practical.

No but you know that there's going to be a joke where a mugger is robbing someone, and she appears and says "I wouldn't do that if I were you!" and the mugger says "Awww is the lil' girl gonna hit me with some mace?" and then she pulls out her actual mace and hits him.
