This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Another remake of a classic series and another failure. It's boring and just plain bad.

I watched it with Carl (hes my boyfriend) and he said it was like 2 was the GM and 6 was a player who wasnt doing what he was supposed to do.

I'm guessing /estimating Six episodes.

All the ads said three nigfhts and each night appears to be a two hour block.

However last night's cable info listed it as "Arrival" and "Harmony". Which means its technically two epiaodes/scripts run together as a movie.

Also, both those episodes titles were were names of original series episodes.

Sad thing is that it is a good idea, just executed badly. The acting isn't subtle enough and Number 6 just seems way too unhinged to allow his free movement around the village.
"Meh."
