This looks pretty good!! First time that I'm excited for THE CW shows…but of course they are the worst Network when it comes to cancellation so who knows whats going to happen…Putting Star-Crossed midseason…mistake they should of put it with B&B on mondays...
The look less like aliens and more like burnouts with bad tattoos. Also, Star Crossed is definitely in the running for worst title for a new series this upfront season.
Well, not if they are trying to atract 14 year old girls. That said, wasn't that scene were he looked at the girl and got that flashback to Roswell? Not that this could ever be compared with Roswell, because it was awesome, well season 1 was.
basically alien, human relationship, with the the side plot being aliens are segregated in camps now they get to go to school first time to be integrated. so then it becomes like in the past in real for the show the alien have become the blacks in school like in the pre 50s era.
I disagree with the last portion of your comment, if the CW knew its audience they wouldn't be in the predicament they find themselves in year after year. TCD comes to mind and the young chick demographic should be a much easier demo to impress. I'm honestly baffled at their inability to even do that. This year's pilots don't strike me as bravery or risk, they strike me as a total ambivalence and frankly a profound sense of confusion. The fact that I find myself fondly reminiscing about last year's cw pilot season should be terror enough and I was not a big mamie gummer fan.
I'm so excited for this show! It looks really good, cheesy sure but if they smooth that out a little bit it could be a really interesting show, if they want a renewal they need to go into the mythology like Roswell did rather being 90210 + aliens.

Ooh, looks kinda intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've been interested in multiple CW shows since last year with Ringer and SPN. Now I want to possible watch four or five!
It looks like Roswell!

ReplyDeleteGood lord that looks terrible.
ReplyDeletei have no idea what that show is about from the trailer
ReplyDeleteI think i'll stick with the neighbors
ReplyDelete"oh I am what I am, I do what I want and I....." started going in my head after the clip.
ReplyDeleteI would wait for the reviews. Looks Ok, could be an Ok show.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't look all that bad, I will check out the Pilot
ReplyDeleteahahahahah the same for me ^^

ReplyDeleteSo far it seems like an alien love story set in high school where these aliens are outcasts based on the clip.
ReplyDeleteAfter a second viewing it looks a bit too Twilight for my taste but will still wait for reviews.
ReplyDeleteThey should've kept Oxygen as its' title.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really taken with Oxygen either but I'll freely admit it's much better than Star Crossed.
ReplyDeleteAimee is looking
ReplyDeleteunrecognizable is she wearing brown contact lenses?
Well, not if they are trying to atract 14 year old girls.
ReplyDeleteThat said, wasn't that scene were he looked at the girl and got that flashback to Roswell? Not that this could ever be compared with Roswell, because it was awesome, well season 1 was.
"Well, not if they are trying to atract 14 year old girls."
ReplyDeleteFair point.
"flashback to Roswell?"
A little. I hope they choose to steer clear of most Roswell stuff.
It's a modern day Romeo and Juilet with the Montagues being high school kids in designer clothes and the Capulets being aliens with bad tattoos.
ReplyDeleteMeh, looks like another love-at-first-sight cross-species emo teen romance... They could at least have spared us those cliched doleful looks.
ReplyDeleteExcept much more cheesy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but at the very least it sounds better.
ReplyDeletebasically alien, human relationship, with the the side plot being aliens are segregated in camps now they get to go to school first time to be integrated. so then it becomes like in the past in real for the show the alien have become the blacks in school like in the pre 50s era.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought the whole thing was going to be one big, heavy-handed allegory about racism with some forbidden love thrown in for good measure.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like something that would do better with the teen demos rather than the 18-34/18-49
ReplyDeleteMeh... I might check the pilot but it doesn't look good at all...
ReplyDeletethis reeks of the typical CW cheese, but not in a good way for me. Pass
ReplyDeleteit looks a bit corny so I think it wont live long but I love the cast
ReplyDeleteThis clip made me want to watch Roswell again. I don't think that was the intended outcome.
ReplyDeleteYeah.. the cheese factor was certainly strong in the clip. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhy? I loved Roswell, but then again I was an 11 year old girl, so I guess I was part of that "14 year old girls" group I was talking about before.

ReplyDeleteis that the guy from 90210? Jesus, what on earth possessed them to cast him in another series. He is a terrible actor even by the worst CW standards.
ReplyDeleteThe CW does really know its audience. They know what the people want but the problem is that they are profoundly inept at giving it to them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Bruce....
ReplyDeleteI was not impressed...
ReplyDeleteYeah... Looks like a poor man's Roswell, just with everyone knowing they're aliens. I think I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this show! It looks really good, cheesy sure but if they smooth that out a little bit it could be a really interesting show, if they want a renewal they need to go into the mythology like Roswell did rather being 90210 + aliens.
ReplyDeleteI just read the scrip. Now I'm pretty excited about it. There's potential.
ReplyDeletehow can we tell their aliens? they have bad facial markings like the trills from Star Trek! looks like Roswell meets 90210, meh.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the synopsis/press release even though it doesn't look like it here.
ReplyDeleteI miss Roswell. :(.
ReplyDeleteum, what is? the fact that they are aliens? yeah, its obvious without looking at the release. also you missed the point of my comment.
ReplyDelete"how can we tell their aliens?"
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, I must've misinterpreted this part right here.
