The Cape

Just started watching 'The Cape'

its a new tv series, which is pretty much a comic book superhero series

and its kind of like Batman

fighting crime and corruption

though

as lame as it sounds

or looks

it's pretty interesting

well, i enjoyed the first two episodes anyway.

plus, i really like the clever naming of 'Orwell'

as in how she's all seeing but faceless

which is the same as Big Brother in George Orwell's 1984

well, i'm hoping that's why she's named that anyway.

plus, Summer Glau is really hot

and she really reminds me of Olivia Wilde.

Chess is also really creepy

the actor, James Frain, is really good at being villains

he was super creepy as Franklin in True Blood

so the basic plot of 'The Cape' is that Vince Farraday

who was just a cop

gets framed as 'Chess' who had assasinated the chief of police

whilst in actual fact he was framed by the actual 'Chess', Peter Fleming

who is slowly gaining control of the whole city

through its police force.

and well Vincent Faraday was 'killed' by an explosion

though in actual fact he survived

but everyone believes him dead, including his wife and son.

he gets rescued by a bunch of circus bank robbers

and eventually gets trained by Max to be 'the Cape'

so that he can take out Peter Fleming

who destroyed his life.

Enter 'Orwell' who is the city's eye

the faceless person exposing police corruption

she eventually teams up with 'the Cape' against 'Peter Fleming'.

the show is pretty dark

but I find it quite interesting

can't wait til the next episode

:)
