This is whereIntelligenceseemed to fall for most.
While expectations might not have been really high for the series, the reality fell short of the mark.
But it’s only a pilot … hit the jump for more.
On broadcast networks, the ante is especially high.Intelligencetook this challenge, and went crazy with it.
Its premiere felt more like a finale, and undercut the major point of its existence.
A little too early for that, guys.
This mentally-weaponized human is now the world’s biggest secret, and the United States' biggest asset.
Someone get this guy an encrypted WiFi web link, just.
Another odd thing is that we’re shown immediately the limitations of Gabriel’s powers.
Nevermind where or when she became fluent in Chinese, someone has to be, right?
Shouldn’t it be the super-brain, though?
The doctor/scientist tells the Chinese that the chip can only work on a person with a certain genetic mutation.
“Gabriel was a gift,” he says, dreamy-eyed.
So much for that.
Yet, the episode ends with there being, potentially, another super-brained individual.
So right off the bat our hero has a twin.
What’s so special about him, then?
Intelligence’s first episode was a mess, and the dialogue was disappointedly rote and stilted.
The show has some potential to get better, even though it’s off to the rockiest of starts.
It also lacks whatAlmost Human– its natural competition – capitalizes on so beautifully: humor.
That, or his attempts are drowned out by the dour natures and humorless faces around him.
We’ll see if that gets fixed.
– Did anyone else recognize that forest from the beginning?
I absolutely swear it was a set used onBattlestar Galactica, in one of their raids on a planet.
– For those comparing this withChuck, I wouldn’t.
– Riley is clearly going to complicate the Gabriel / Amelia love plot, isn’t she.
