SciFi Channel: you owe me an hour.
Here’s the elevator pitch: take the cheerleader from Heroes, stick her in a shadowy government agency like Sydney from Alias and have them hunt super bad guys like Buffy from… well… Buffy.
I really wanted to like Painkiller Jane… a hero who heals rapidly, bad guys with mind control powers and a group of bad-ass G-men protecting the world. Combine that with some cool music and stylish cinematography and you can’t loose.
You know there’s a “but” coming don’t you? Here’s the thing: they hired creative writing students from the local community college to write the scripts. I guess they needed to make sure there was money left over to hire someone to write little mini games for their web site.
Look on the bright side, remember how you were trying to figure out if you should record the new SciFi channel show starring the sexy female terminator from T3 or a rerun of Myth Busters? Problem solved.
