The way I've seen this placed on their fall schedule seems questionable to me....

MONDAY
8-9 PM Bones (fall) / ALMOST HUMAN (late fall)
9-10 PM SLEEPY HOLLOW (fall) / The Following (midseason)

So, what, a few episodes of Bones before they move it to friday and then immediately switch this into it's slot? I really hope that doesn't hurt this show.

that pic makes it look like a spinoff series of Fringe

Fringe:LA

 

[Warhammer]

I absolutely cannot wait for this. Science fiction genre + half decent premise + Urban + Ealy.

[SuperBatman]

Fringe: LA - 2048

Fixed.

 

[Kaleb]

okay that trailer won me over, which means its gonna get cancelled

 

[Hunter Rider]

It looks pretty good, I'm intrigued by the guys in the white masks. Trailer needed more Minka.

 

[Warhammer]

Oh yeah, this is getting canceled. This genre simply does not exist on a network like FOX.

 

[Sawyer]

You people know no optimism...

 

[Sawyer]

Argh, the thread title got boring.

 

[Doc Ock]

You people know no optimism...

Well, its FOX....

 

[Sawyer]

Best way to promote this to get attention: From JJ "NEW MOTHER****ING STAR WARS!!!" Abrams.

I'm not sure I would say that... this looks like a new 'Fringe' almost.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, but the highest rated seasons of Fringe also sort of played it pretty straight in terms of sci-fi, like "the world is mostly normal, but there's some weird **** going on", whereas this is set in 2048 and all cops are paired with androids. Which isn't to say an audience won't show up, but it might have a harder time at the start than Fringe did.

 

[Dude of Steel]

It looks awesome..... but..... it also looks expensive. It will have to get monster ratings to avoid cancellation.

Damn, looks WAY to expensive to survive

Terra Nova 2.0.

 

[Sawyer]

I doubt they've funneled quite as much money into this as Terra Nova, but still... seems like a reasonable concern.

 

[Paradox1]

looks very blade Runner to me which I take as a good thing
