Ehirerapp Waste of time
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jayc-lawrence I just started watching this after 10 years gone by. I had originally only seen a single episode of Early Edition.The idea is not exactly an original idea but I believe the writing and production quality of each episode is great. The episodes continue to some canon; so you find later episodes referring to previous episodes, rather than independently written episodes.You'll spot a lot of 'to be famous' faces in there and I do wonder what ever happened to Chuck and Gary as they were great actors.As with many TV series of the 90s this is an honest and heartwarming series with much stimulation of your own thoughts and experiences, leading you to realise that hindsight is often just as powerful as foresight.10/10 as this is one of the best series I have seen in a long time, even in 2008.
SipteaHighTea I love the episode with Sammy Huang (Marial Law) being a guest on the show where he was chasing an criminal. The criminal was played by Michael Paul Chan (The Closer) who was hilariously funny in that show. I couldn't stop laughing because everything something happen, Mr. Chan would say something and his facial and body expressions match his verbal comments. Its too bad minorities actors like Mr. Chan are not given more opportunities to play all sides of the human emotions. Our theater and TV shows would be thoroughly enrich by the vast potential that these actors and actresses have to offer. Lauren Tom who was also in the episode was very funny as well.
dreammakers This was a very entertaining TV show, and was produced well. You can't help but put yourself in the place of the main character (Gary)...like how would you stop the catastrophe that Gary is trying to "fix". The other thing that's great about the show is how much of a nice guy the main character is. The only thing that bothered me about the show is how much hard work Gary went through in his daily run. He had this massive responsibility of saving people's lives, but he never took steps to optimize how he handled doing that. If I had tomorrow's newspaper today, I would set up and orchestrate a small taskforce of dedicated (and very well paid) workers that went out on different "errands" everyday to ensure that everyone was saved. Saving lives with a future newspaper is really too much responsibility to rely on one man to do. The taskforce could be well funded by using money raised from lottery wins or sportsbetting, etc. No one would need to know how the information was gathered (they could just pretend that a clairvoyant was supplying the info or something like that). There has been episodes where Gary was not able to save someone. In fact, I remember one episode where Gary felt guilty because he didn't save someone in time, and some mystical character had to show up and tell Gary that he should "count the living" and not to count the dead (i.e. he saved much more people than the ones he couldn't save). It's too bad the show never evolved to a stage where Gary took the "taskforce" route (like maybe Gary injures himself and is stuck in a wheelchair for 6 months, but the paper still comes)...that would have been a good twist.
frankjc3rd The local CBS station has been running the show at 2:00 AM. I have been taping it. I never got the chance to watch it during the regular run of the series. I choose to believe I would have liked it then. Good premise, great writing. It makes you wonder what one would do with tomorrows paper.
