17th Precinct Looks Awesome

I don't know how network execs could've passed on this. It's been a damn disappointing season as it is.

If you want to see the pilot that could have been, you can watch it here.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

It's an interesting concept, but I feel like something's lacking in the execution. I can't see myself watching a series based on that pilot.

It just feels generic and lazily done; if you took the ideas and scrapped a lot of the rest you might be able to build a good show.


Edit: Actually just doing an overhaul of the sound editing and music on the pilot might improve it a lot.

Yeah. I thought I'd left open a tab somewhere with House playing on it for a minute there.
