Anyone watched this yet? Let's just say i'm intrigued and i like the fact that mulan is in this, though it's a shame as it probably means she won't be in OUAT.

The girl's powers aren't anything we haven't seen before.
Touch has done this sort of thing before and didn't work, so not sure why this will.
Although Touch did go wrong with too much running around and shouts of 'JAKE'.
I will use my powers to predict this is a one season show.
I didn't like the assassin lady as she didn't look confident holding a gun etc and I didn't believe she was a highly trained assassin. Since the pilot the producers have decided to have different assassins chasing the pair every week. If one grabs hold of the audience then they may become series regulars. This seems to me to mean that again they have no faith in the concept and will make it up as they go along. Revolution had to take 3 months hiatus and never recovered. J.J Abrams may be great in cinema but he seems to be jinxed when it comes to TV shows.
I wouldn't say Jinxed. Alias, Felicity, Lost and Fringe are apart of television history and have huge cult followings. He has had his fair share of flop shows but he has four successful shows to his name. The problem with JJ is he will create a show, stick around for the first season and then take off. He seems to be one of those people who just likes to add his name to something and take all the credit, where it's really the people who take over that deserve the credit and applause but do not get it.
It did remind of Touch, as someone has said, especially when little girl got off the bus.
Actually I thought the same thing. I watched the freestyle events in the Olympics and it seems long scraggy hair is back and 'cool'.
Fight scene choreography are worst I've seen in a very long time
And don't get me started on the so called female assassin?! She made me laugh so hard, my stomach is still hurting!
Whole thing felt 90's dated, non Believer here.
It's kinda Touch but with a central kid who can talk and is thus more , well more interesting to watch. I spent most of the time when watching Touch just wishing Kiefer would give his son a slap and yell "just say something dammit, and move your arms when you run cos you look weird" in frustration (I think going the muteness route was a baaaaad decision)
And the reveal at the end, well you know the sound you make when you see a bunch of kittens unable to stay awake and falling asleep - well that's the sound I made when we found out he was her, well you know.
So if each of the early eps involves them moving from place to place, helping someone along the away, all the time just avoiding the sexy assassin who almost shoots them but keeps hitting a bunch of standbyers (and stabbing a few too), well I'm ok with that. Wonder if she'll be revealed as the gals mommy ?! :eek:
*bystanders.
Unlikely as Sienna has been dropped since the pilot was made. I have read they wanted a series of assassins but as others have noted her leg kicks were really bad and she didn't seem to know how to hold a gun. She just didn't have any credibility.
I'm glad they got that out of the way (unlike a certain other show that prolonged the faux suspense of a father reveal). Really it was the only way them hiring Tate made any sense at all. A key difference between this and Touch for me is that Jake was bloody annoying whereas Bo *so far* is likeable.
Can't see the point of an assassin of the week
It was initially a 13 episode order. I think five were in the can when they lost the second show runner and started re-tooling the scripts. With that in mind I expect they'll at least air the first half a dozen to see if it picks up. After that ?
I thought this episode was better than pilot. Nice to see that Skouras may not be a panto villain after all.
Biggest disappointment of the season...
I'll give it one more episode but i expect the ratings to tank even more this week
I think the series would have a decent chance if it was on a different evening in that time slot.
I can predict that Milton will end up losing his life to protect Bo at some point, and Agent Ferrell will join/aid Tate in protecting Bo. She's one of the good guys for sure (quite possibly end up as Believe's version of Prison Breaks Agent Mahone).
Yes, and Touch at least had a decent sub-plot. Loved where the show was going in its second season, too. Not sure about 'Believe' but will give it a few episodes to perk up.
better than the dreadful tomorrow people ..... but once again the stupid hurried way these second level US programs, by throwing almost everything against a wall to see if it sticks ..... almost ruined V by doing this .....
fells like a pilot episode
maybe should have stayed that way
although i did like the characters, but bloody SLOW DOWN and ESTABLISH a story will ya!
