Is that the plot of the show? If yes, it sounds really weird. Time travel and rock stars?
ReplyDeleteYep, that is the plot of the show. Sounds pretty awful to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm much more looking forward to CW shows like Cult for next fall, this is just a ridiculous plot even to begin with.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I really wanted her to book a pilot but... Joey Dakota? Not to mention, like, does this show even have a chance of getting picked up? I mean, really? Cult, Arrow, The Selection, and The Carrie Dairies seem to have more buzz around them. So I don't see The CW doing more than four. Unless they expand to Sunday, gave Gossip Girl and Supernatural 13-episode finale seasons, and canceled, like, 3 shows. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThey also have that First Cut and the Beauty and the Beast thing in the works. Which is too me a little weird since ABC also has one. With the same director even. They have so many pilots and in my opinion only the room to pick up 4. And this story seems somewhat underwhelming to me.
ReplyDeleteAlot depends on what they think of the actual filmed pilot
ReplyDeletelast year The Awakening was the CW's favourite pilot script but in the end they didnt pick it up to series
Kinda sounds like a teen version of that Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymore movie "Somewhere in Time"....
ReplyDeleteWho else is praying most of these pilots don't make it so shows like The Secret Circle, Nikita and Hart of Dixie have a better chance? I am.
ReplyDeleteAshleeeeey :) I love her, but this pilot is going to tank.
