ABC's "No Ordinary Family"

[Matt]

Something tells me the robber is going to pop up again. You don't take a fall off of a ten story building and walk away. He may be part of Stephen Collins' little super powered clique.

 

[Morg]

Smallville did this all the time in the earlier seasons. Clark would just flick a guy and he would crash into a car. Good times.

and I hate it, usually anyone thrown in a car or dropped on one would have major injuries

You still have to wonder why Jim and George were not surprised by how completely unharmed the guy was after a death fall.

I don't think the family will act as a super team as that would require the kids being put in danger on purpose. The shows highlight at the moment is the interaction between Steph and Katie, Julie Benz and Autumn Reeser work well together.

It is definitely odd that they didn't see anything wrong. Result of bad editting, excluding a crucial deleted scene perhaps, where Jim tells George that there are other super humans?

At any rate, I definitely think the robber is a super human.

I really hope they don't act as super team. The show is No Ordinary Family. Its like Lois and Clark where everyone complained about how Superman wasn't around much, but that was kind of the point. This isn't a super hero show as much as it is a show about a family dramedy about super heroes.

I was really pissed off at the Mom in this episode. She could have easily used her superspeed to help her husband stop the crooks too.

Haha, so true.

 

[Hush]

Or the daughter could have read the minds of the crooks and informed her dad of there next moves and such.

Exactly, work as a family/team dammit. Give me eye popping and creative use of their talents. It would be interesting that as a super team they work together perfectly, but domestically, they have the same issues as any family would have.

It would be nice BTW if the daughter discovers she can send as well as recieve.........i.e. Gunmen takes a bead on JJ.....she's implants in his mind "Your fly is down."....he is momentarily distracted long enough for either parent to act.

Risking exposing their powers to everyone in that room in the process. The mom said previously not to expose their powers by helping & she was right with that. The best thing that could have been done is for the daughter as others have said to just read their minds as they were escaping

The problem is she has used her speed in those situations....in front of security cameras......for selfish reasons.....remember the room was darkened and even in daylight she moves fast enough to be virtually invisible ...making her excuses meaningless.

The one thing that bugs me is the dad doesn't wear a mask...any kind of mask. I mean come on...not only is he putting his identity at major risk, but also his family.

They are still new to the whole powers thing. Maybe that stuff will happen eventually.

Perhaps....a hint that it's going in that direction would be nice.

Exactly....especially given that he accepts the super-hero mantle...and that the dual identity thing has been mentioned....it's super-hero 101!

 

[Prison Mike]

I think in the preview for the next episode, they showed the dad wearing a hoodie or a mask while saving someone. So that's a step up...

 

[louiebling$]

I'm wondering When/how JJ's Power are Exposed

 

[Donut]

That teacher is annoying

 

[Metamorpho1977]

This is turning into a good episode too. Some good character development this week.

 

[Kii]

Man, JJ's teacher really has it out for him.

 

[<(o_o)>]

The Dad should wear a green suit & a frog mask & call himself The Leap Frog.

Finally got into this show last week. I was quite skeptical at first, but I am enjoying it so far, infact I liked it alot more after watching the second episode. The first episode I was still a bit iffy.

Here is my review of the pilot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd5cG5DOxEI
Tv is my obsession, so I review and do alot of other tv centric things on my channel, check it out if you want.

as for the newest episode, I offically think JJ is the worst tv character in existence. I might have to do a top 5 worst tv characters list soon.

I think the first episode is iffy because IMO it felt like there was so much story that needed to be told in that episode and they had to cram it into an hour episode.

He could almost call himself the Hulk if he slapped a black wig on with that gettup lol.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Hulk doesn't get run over by cars.

I was a bit disturbed by Jim casually tossing that robber off the roof. I literally sat there and said, "Wow, he totally just killed that guy." And then the guy looked up at the cops, which made no sense. I don't think he's a superhuman, though. I think the show's just playing fast and loose with physics.

hahaha this really cracked me up, mostly because I sat there and said the exact same thing!
