The CW's Frequency - Adaptation of the Film

[Sawyer]

The TV series, written by Supernatural showrunner Jeremy Carver, centers on Raimy, a female police detective in 2016 who discovers that she is able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father, Frank Sullivan (Smith), also a detective, who died in 1996.

Seen in 1996, Frank Sullivan has been undercover for two years. The strain of the assignment effectively destroyed his marriage and separated him from his little girl, Raimy, but he gets a new chance at building a relationship with her when she begins communicating with him from 20 years in the future. The two forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case, but unintended consequences of the ‘butterfly effect’ wreak havoc in the present day.

I like the idea behind this but must they reuse an old movie plot?

Suppose an accident results in a lone woman being stuck in the present suffering from amnesia and no evidence of whatever accident she was involved in.

But she narrowly avoids being kidnapped as certain people made aware of her presence try to pick her up and she begins to remember her past.

Stuck one hundred and fifty years in the past as a result of an old thesis she wrote when she was a child prodigy, however it was stolen without her knowledge and they attempt to build the first time machine managing to send people into the past.

Their attempts to take advantage of this by improving things for themselves begins to cause the destruction of the Earth of the future, being in a facility testing out a new spaceship she witnesses the Earth collapsing forcing her to figure out a way to jump into the past and counteract whatever is causing the destruction.

She succeeds in disabling the time machine located in the present but shifted the explosion taking out her facility in the future and causing her amnesia from an explosion that's covered up as they're unaware someone jumped from the future and stopped their mistake.

Now they're aware someone shut their time machine off and trying to shift the blame by claiming a terrorist was responsible she is so far not being suspected since they're trying to hide their pursuit of her since there's no record of her existence and the local police think she's just a Jane Doe who was mugged.

Inevitably her picture and returning memories along with the fact she is a polymath whose used to having to survive on her own is going to eventually come to the bad guys attention that the creator of their time machine is stuck in the present and who better to fix their device than its creator?

Sorry wrong place to suggest this, just idle thoughts hope this series works out!

 

[Sawyer]

.......... okay.

 

[hopeless]

Yeah definitely the wrong place to share that idea!

Looks ok, I like the lead actress and the original film so I'll give it a shot.

 

[X-Ray]

Loved the movie and this looks alright. I'll check it out.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I don't see this lasting over a season.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

[Sawyer]

Premieres tonight. I'm excited for it.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

so far, I like it, but I hope the eventual, overall hunt for the Nightingale Killer differs from the movie...

 

[Kyle]

It's better than I thought it would be, the original is one of my favorite movies so that's good props. Dig the 1996 setting.

I loved the pilot. Here's hoping it sticks. It being post-Arrow gives me pause, just because I know that their ratings slipped a lot last season.

It's still going to be either the #2 or #3 show on the network, depending on how Supergirl does.

And The Flash's 1.3 lead in didn't help No Tomorrow, which debuted to a 0.5.

It's still going to be either the #2 or #3 show on the network, depending on how Supergirl does.

My guess is

1 Supergirl
2 Flash
3 Arrow

Frequency will end up somewhere between 4-6

Personally(Never seen the movie but) I liked the first episode. Not sure how they can drag out this plot though for 22 episode without it feel like it's dragging or it has way to many twists

 

[famicommander]

Pretty doubtful Supergirl beats Flash. Flash was already consistent with Supergirl towards the back end of last season, and that was when Supergirl was on a much bigger network.

It'll likely be
1. Flash
2. Supergirl
3. Arrow
4. Legends of Tomorrow
5. Supernatural
6. iZombie

and then the rest. Not quite sure how Riverdale is going to do. Could be a wild card.

Very doubtful Frequency outperforms any of the DCTV shows or Supernatural. Maybe it'll beat iZombie at best.

Aren't both Riverdale and IZombie mid season replacements?

In the case of Supergirl it was getting 6M viewers near the end of last season, I expect it to get about half the ratings on the CW which would put it for first or second place(the fact Superman will be on the show might spike the ratings more). Legends was getting like Sub 2M viewers in the 2nd half of last season
