Space Janitors: Episode One
- Thread starter Space Janitors
- Start date
i think this is a pretty good original idea. there is room for some perfect comedic context. i just hope this show doesnt devolve into slapstick. ooohh please dont start doing slapstick, it will ruin this perfect set-up. keep it somewhat mature, introspective, and no slapstick! ill follow this series

Really, i didn't like it. In fact, my dislike of the series came before the episode even was released. When I head the word "Space Janitors", I immediately thought "This is gonna be really boring and predictable.". I was right. When I saw the opening shot, My Yahtzee sense immediately told me "This is gonna be a parody of the Star Wars opening shot from episode 4.". And lo, it was. Saw the guys with obviously painted white halo helmets and thought "These guys are stormtrooper parodies.". And lo, it was. When the skinny janitor acknowledged the fact that the rebels didn't shoot at them, or notice they were there, I wanted to scream "I'd shot you, you technophile!". God-Emprah almighty, this is just "The Suite Life IN SPAAACE!", except they took out the funny characters, like the cop that ate a lot, or the messy guy. Maybe I'm being too hard on this show, but you cant deny that it could use some work.

this is a realization of the 1st law of publishing on the internets: regardless of what you publish. whatever the subject matter, intent, implementation, budget, originality, political alignment, sexual orientation or karma level, there is a probability of 1 that some user will sooner than later proclaim that your material is shit. even if your material is 5stars in every category and absolute tits genius in the most absolute sense possible, someone will say it sucks. even if for the novelity of being the first one to say they think its shit. since this hate is inevitable and predictable, it amounts to there being a role (the dissatisfied viewer) and a roleplayer (the actual user who eventual fulfills this role).Monoochrom said:
okay your right some of the big aspects are not original at all. but, a pro to this con is at least this setting and context is familiar to the target audience. without introducting any novelty in the context or setting, i think its more closer to a parody than anything else, and the audience completely understands the environment and circumstances of the characters.Icetailgreg said:
Yeah, I see what you mean. It may be a parody, but I don't like it. Probably for the same reason I don't like the call of duty series.careful said:
I'm going to add my two cents worth..
It's their first episode and the overall thing is rough. The Background shots and graphics are bad, but not completely awful. They need work. The guys and their acting is plausible but needs a hell of a lot of work. It has the elements to be a good series but at the moment it's not quite there yet.
As someone pointed out when the rebels came through they stood there like lemons. They hid behind their cart to shoot the troopers. More should have been made of that. Missed opportunity but it has some potential if they can be a bit more pro active.
Not writing it off just yet as it's one of the better pilots on here. Hopefully they can get the act together.
