Still Life progress report

I now remember how I used to do this type of thing for my film studies classes. I'd block off an entire day (usually a Saturday) and hole up in the library with the movie in question. It's not so bad once you watch the flick a couple times and have a general idea what you want to quote or cite and why.

I finished up with the Pilot today. I'll get my notes up tonight or tomorrow night, and since the Pilot is posted to YouTube, you'll get a general idea of where I'm focussing my attention and what I'm summarizing. If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask.

I also discovered that there is no rhyme or reason to how these tapes are numbered. So I'll be going by the IMDB entry for the show to determine the episode order. Let's hope it's accurate.

Okay, off to re-read my notes and see how much I can post in one entry.

Project Still Life Recap: Pilot Episode

Well, here it is. My raw-ish notes of the Still Life Pilot episode. If you have any questions about my notations (if I need to be clearer on things or whatever), let me know.

This episode is posted to YouTube in four parts, so I’m going to try not to get into details here like I will in future eps. (Yeah, right. I can’t help myself. You should have heard some of my book reports when I was a kid. Or seen the first draft of my high school term paper.) And I’ll probably focus on Jensen’s storyline, seein’ as how that’s why I’m here to begin with.

Preliminary impressions: This show had potential to be a pretty decent family drama. A little on the soap opera side at times, in the beginning. Occasionally a bit . . . I don’t know . . . syrupy . . . but overall, it could have been pretty good—really good—if you’re into that kind of thing (which I, for the most part, am not).
