That clip was about thirty seconds. I'm suprised Fox hasn't cancelled the series yet...

Nice Silent Hill type end credit music, couldn't really get a feel for the show from the clip.

Simon | June 01, 21:20 CET

Looked good. Carter seemed to much like Gunn to me in that little clip... (style and humor wise)

Guestage Drew | June 01, 21:32 CET

She looks more like she's 16 than a special FBI agent.

Zamm | June 01, 22:10 CET

Kinda the point there, Zamm.

She looks more like she's 16 than a special FBI agent.

Kinda the point there, Zamm.

Why would anyone take the character seriously then? No, I felt the first time I saw this actress in this role(in promos) that it wouldn't be a good fit. She seems very bland, and yeah, too young. I hope to be surprised and blown away by her acting, but I don't have high hopes.

Rogue Slayer | June 02, 00:53 CET

I'd actually managed to not hear about this until one of the promo clips ran on FX during The Shield.

I'll give it a try, but only because of Tim, Adam and Katie.

Personally if I were Tim, I'd have gotten out from under Fox's thumb, they've cancelled how many of his shows now?

sTalking_Goat | June 02, 00:57 CET

wait I just realized Peter Coyote is a cast member. Isn't he doing The 4400 how does that work out?

sTalking_Goat | June 02, 01:00 CET

You take the character seriously if you want to take her seriously. If you don't want to, there's no point in trying.

The point is to have a young female lead who doesn't look like a FBI agent, someone whos fresh out of the academy. I don't know much about this actress but I trust Tim and Brian Grazer. I just hope she is not stiff and can keep up with the likes of Adam, Katie and Peter. Nothing worse then a lead of a show who can't hold her own with her costars.

Gunn 2 N's | June 02, 02:19 CET

sTalking Goat - I believe Peter Coyote was replaced in The 4400 because he was cast in The Inside.

As for the girl - she was the only cast member kept after Tim took over what was the initial "21 Jump Street meets the X-Files (or whatever)" premise. No surprise she's young looking, since she was supposed to be working undercover in a high school. I agree with what Gunn 2 says. I have faith in Tim.

zz9, I'm with you. I once screamed at my TV during a baseball game and the execs called and said "You're fired."

GrrrAargh | June 02, 05:24 CET

This show is giving me Point Pleasant vibes.

And by that, I mean it seems like it should be great show considering all the people involved, but everything I've seen of it looks dull and laughable.

Melisande | June 02, 06:41 CET

I can't comprehend people not watching an episode or four before denouncing somthing with this many great writers and actors.

Whatever.

TamaraC | June 02, 07:19 CET

Pessimist much? Condemned on the basis of one 30 second clip? I'm reminded of people who quickly dismissed Buffy/Angel/Firefly without giving them a chance. It seems to me if one approaches something expecting to dislike it, one ususally does dislike it.

jaynelovesvera | June 02, 07:30 CET

I'm going to watch it, I'm just getting not great vibes off of it.

Melisande | June 02, 08:53 CET

That's too bad. I think it looks amazing. I bet Adam and Katie get all the best lines and that Coyote gives off the coolest creepy vibe. Tim will be in his element getting to kill off new and interesting people every week. Great fun!

TamaraC | June 02, 09:05 CET

Hey. I'm new and interesting. I wonder if he'll kill me.

Allyson | June 02, 09:14 CET

If you ask nicely and bake him cookies, he might.

TamaraC | June 02, 09:17 CET

I think pot roast will go over better.

Allyson | June 02, 09:18 CET

I bet he likes it rare. Allyson, did Tim write AND direct the first ep?

TamaraC | June 02, 09:22 CET

Yes and yes. I wish he'd been able to direct them all, but then there's that whole writing thing.

Allyson | June 02, 09:38 CET

I fully expect this show to be the best thing on TV. Much Minear love here. All my favorite Angel eps sprang from that brain.

jaynelovesvera | June 02, 13:34 CET

I have high hopes that Tim and the gang will pull this off. Can't wait!

Passion | June 02, 15:20 CET

Sorry, I'm removing all the stupids rants I've made, ever.

Pastor Of Muppets | June 03, 00:18 CET

Well, I guess it's a fair question, if somewhat provocatively worded . . . and I can honestly hold my hand up and say that I've enjoyed, and rewatch, Marti Noxon-scripted episodes more than Tim Minear-scripted episodes.

I'm not qualified to comment on writing ability, craftsmanship, or the like; all I can say is that Marti's Buffy episodes, in general, have made a greater, and more lasting, impact on me than Tim's Angel (or Wonderfalls, which I do love) episodes. (One exception might be (Firefly's) Out of Gas, which is just incredible, and bears endless rewatching.) Of course, it's very debatable whether my preference just expresses my greater love for BtVS versus the other shows, rather than actually signifying something about the relative writing acumen of the two.

In any case, I think both Tim and Marti are fabulously creative, and I would hate to think that we have to pit one against the other for the sake of making a really tangential point about the merits of The Inside. Which, naturally, everyone should be tuning in to when it debuts.

SoddingNancyTribe | June 03, 01:05 CET

Very well said, SoddingNancyTribe. Very, very well said.

phlebotinin | June 03, 01:31 CET

As much as I would love for Tim to succeed, the betting has already started on how soon FOX will cancel the show. Any science fiction or fantasy show already knows on that network, its WHEN not IF it will be canceled.

DarenG | June 03, 01:37 CET

It's not a science fiction or fantasy show.

How do those bettors explain House?
