Okay, I'll go along with that, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief until they do something really stupid, like a random dance number a la "Spiderman 3". Like I said, I'm remaining optimistic until the fifth episode at the least. It looks promising, although I've seen better editing (Freddiew [http://www.youtube.com/user/freddiew]).Break said:It's fine, because of, uh... Nano... Polymer... Fibre... Weave. Controlled by... Computers. Yes. Computers chip. With sensors. Throughout the suit. And they... Detect when parts of the fabric are under unusual stress... Which means that it's pliable when you move it with your hands, but hardens when struck with a bullet! Yes. Also prevents creases.k-ossuburb said:The "polycarbonate suit" felt a little too convenient, plus it doesn't seem to work when you think about it; the suit is flexible enough to move like a normal suit, which means that when a bullet hits it the suit will flex around the bullet and form a shape similar to it, the bullet might not pierce the suit, but the suit will pierce your flesh if enough force is behind it and that force is concentrated into a single point.
It's the future man... Come on!k-ossuburb said:Okay, I'm going to remain optimistic about this like I was with Apocalypse Lane, but still I've got a few problems.

I'm hoping this gets revealed later and proves to be decent, but I'm still wondering if the demons are really necessary since there are plenty of other things that can stand in for the "bad guy" position like clones, aliens, robots, mutants or just normal human beings who simply have a problem with Anthony for something he'll eventually do but doesn't know about yet.
Other than that, I hope that this turns out well in later episodes. It may be a rocky start now but it's only the beginning, so I'm still going to remain hopeful.
Certain methods of using a substance with similar properties to custard in body armor are leading to a substance that hardens and disperses force when struck, maybe this suit could be explained as using a more advanced form of that technology. Sometimes best to suspend disbelief.k-ossuburb said:The "polycarbonate suit" felt a little too convenient, plus it doesn't seem to work when you think about it; the suit is flexible enough to move like a normal suit, which means that when a bullet hits it the suit will flex around the bullet and form a shape similar to it, the bullet might not pierce the suit, but the suit will pierce your flesh if enough force is behind it and that force is concentrated into a single point.
My only problem with the show so far is that it doesn't take long enough on a few things. I'm just off of work watching both of them so I must be way too tired and missed it, but I don't know the name of Anthony's protector. Some of the concepts were delivered really fast and were great but didn't stay long enough for me to really get them.mikeyface said:I actually agree with you. Episode 2 was really rough, and I wanted to reshoot the whole thing but-- try producing a WEEKLY narrative based action comedy with a full time job in the games industryDaveman said:I don't know if this is good yet. It just seems a bit scrappy the way the lines were delivered as it wasn't always clear what was being said and the cuts need some work. But overall I'm still really pleased there is a narrative-based, non-animated action show being shown on the escapist. So far I'm not that impressed, but I'm still willing to give it time.
Episode 3 and 4 are _huge_ improvements in the technical department. Would love to hear what you think of them once you watch them.
Cheers!
