It's such a shame if this is all we get to see. I would hope by its success on i-Tunes that there's still a chance for this show come mid-season. The trailer did really well on you-tube too gaining over 100,000+ views. They take up another season of 7th Heaven and leave this out? It's still #1 on i-Tunes, and it's been 5 days already. It's an incredibly stupid decision on their part. The ending only left me wanting more, and it left me wondering why the heck CW passed up on it. I found the story lines to be really interesting, and the special effects were awesome. All the actors worked well with one another. Ving, Lou, and the rest of the cast did a great job as well. His character was rebellious and cocky, but very likable. Justin Hartley did an excellent job as A.C. It was after all a pilot, so they were setting up the story lines. The show had a lot of potential, and unfortunately, it was not given the chance. We've imagine mermaids, but what'll see is more than a fantasy! It'll haunt your dreams ) This nowadays fairytale has began, beware to drown on it ) The FX are an undeniable part of the success, as sea creatures should be a big part of the buzz.
Unnatural behavior, inhuman powers, morphing, and so on are at the rendezvous, deploying a minimum of creativity and imagination that should keep this show tuned, and satisfy the thirst of modern aquatic stories for more than one. It seems that we're going to witness a kind of modern fairytale, involving an exiled prince from the legendary Atlantis, facing evil of his own people. The decor is quickly planted, giving you time to concentrate on characters' role. Actors are really impressive, they're strongly in their character, performing terrifically.The story on itself is well introduced. It makes you get inside the whole story in a brilliant way. I'm well served with the Mercy Reef :P It's pretty impressive for a pilot. Actually, I've never found any interesting movies and/or TV show related to this topics. I'm pretty interested about myths, more exactly the Bermuda triangle and sea monsters, mermaids. Have a good time watching the pilot as sadly that is likely to be all we will see of Aquaman.Īt last, the right show to revive the Atlantis myth. After all superheroes seem to do better at the box office than the small screen. It's a pity more episodes weren't made - could've started a new trend - a canceled show never airs but becomes a hit while viewed on itunes and then becomes a major motion picture. It's a pity the new execs at CW don't understand that Aquaman appeals to WB fans aged 30 and under. CW canceled Aquaman in favor of Runaway and Hidden Palms (they both sound more suitable for the over 40 crowd who watch CBS) which I think they will probably regret. Script needs a little more work, though, as occasionally the lines sounded a little comic- booky. And a close male friend who is either another hunk, a techy geek or a funny sidekick. Only thing missing from the formula is a wicked manipulator like Dan in One Tree Hill but that would have come later. Add bikinis and shirtless hunks for eye candy. And a really wicked mermaid-I mean siren.
Action, mind you, not a reader so he is not as appreciative of the gift as he really just wants to learn to kickass). A girl next door type as his best friend, a woman naval pilot with a chip on her shoulder, and a big tough black guy who gives him a Shakespeare play as training for his destiny (Aquaman is Mr. Add in a stepfather with Lou Diamonds Philip in the role-played nicey nice a lot like Mr. You've got potential complicated relationships - a young cutie guy who hits on all the bikini babes he can, finds out he's a lost prince, becomes an unselfish do-gooder when he'd rather party while still wanting to solve the disappearance of his mother. Oh, yeah and the secret navy group investigating strange phenomena. The fantasy bits are Bermuda triangle, Atlantis and a guy who swims fast and sense that he may be able to communicate with underwater denizens. Luckily you can see the Aquaman pilot on iTunes and judge for yourself their decision to kill the show before it aired. CW canceled the show, Aquaman aka Mercy Reef, WB had greenlighted.

One of the problems with WB and UPN merging is that they are two totally different networks with a different feel for their audiences - so I almost never watched UPN as they didn't know how to do action+fantasy+personal relationships made so popular with Buffy, Angel, Smallville and Supernatural. It's a fun action show, probably would have become a cross between Smallville, X-files and Baywatch.
