Daniel Jackson/Michael Shanks Thunk Thread

Wow. Is it a spoiler to say it was an awesome show? Love it. I can't wait for next week.

Omigosh! I love Saving Hope!

Spoiler:

I love Michael in this! He's sooo awesome! I love how his character...Charlie...has become like the conscience/voice of reason for the hospital. Alex and Charlie have such a wonderful relationship. I love the chemistry they have. I got teary at some parts like when that young mother died. Then when the young father was holding his son. I just love the whole storyline. It's very spiritual and inspiring.

I wanna have 'hope' for Saving Hope.

[slizzie1986]

Totally, Sue_Jackson.

Spoiler:

Charlie & Alex rock. Great chemistry. Love them together. My shipper heart is definately very happy.

Awesome show!!! Lots of MS in a tux, who can complain about that? hehe. My mom also loved the show, and she had no idea who MS was...so, that's a good sign

It's so good to see him to get such a headline show like this.

Watched it and I have some mixed feeling about it, not on Michael, but often the pilots are different from the series, so I hope!. For now, take a tour with Michael at the Hope-Zion...

Just got the chance to watch Saving Hope! It's awesome!

Spoiler:

I love how, even though we see hints of Daniel in Michael's performance, he's a totally different character. That's one thing that's always impressed me about Michael Shanks. He can take on so many different personalities.

The character interactions were great, especially the emotion of the story. While I can see where this would be great drama and angst, though, I have to say the long-term portion of the story gives me some fits. As a writer, I'm always looking forward. Where does the story go next? And, for Saving Hope, there's a lot of story to tell about Charlie's journey through the halls of Hope-Zion. But what about his journey AFTER he wakes up? If he wakes up? I really hope (all pun intended) the writers give us something to look forward to rather than dread.

And that's my critique! Anxiously awaiting next week's episode!

Just watched it.. ....A very short, and I think non-spoilery, commentary on it, but stuck in them just in case...

Spoiler:

Just watched it...it has promise....Michael will be the lynchpin but possibly at the expense of not being quite so "flashy" as the other two leads in the storylines...but he's matured into a really understated and fine commentator...his voice is gorgeous, he has aged so handsomely and I'm very glad to see he's carrying on with the "and Michael Shanks" at the end credits!..

I will continue to watch as long as I can get help from my friends in procuring it!!..

I watched and I loved it

Was anyone following Michael on Twitter last night? He was tweeting like mad.

Congrats to Michael on the premiere of Saving Hope. Got home in time to watch most of it. In Canada we had the local feed as well as the NBC feed. I noticed on the NBC feed that the audio and video were out of sync. I hope that was not the case for the entire NBC network.

[discodiva]

Thanks for popping in...


Some of us had to watch "elsewhere" later on today and with that often brings "out of sync" lips too..


Keeping our "hopes" up and fingers crossed....even if it doesn't set the world on fire it's a thrill to be a fan of his and enjoy a little of the excitement that comes with a new show!..
