Most of it sounds just TERRIBLE, of course. There’s a new series called The 100 about a group of 100 juvenile delinquents sent back to Earth after a nuclear holocaust to see if it’s fit for recolonization. So it’s Terra Nova meets Revolution meets The Hunger Games, which is way too “high concept” and just feels overly ambitious and doomed from the beginning. There’s The Tomorrow People from executive producers Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Brothers and Sisters), about a a troubled teenage boy who discovers that he has psychic powers, which COULD BE promising. The problem is that the troubled by is played Robbie Amell, cousin of Stephen Amell, and looking at Google Images of him, I’ve already decided he’s a lunkhead and I hate him. Next up, is Oxygen about alien boy who is sent to high school to assimilate, where he sparks a romance with a human girl. Normally, I would be ALL OVER that shit, squealing like a 12-year-old girl at the premise. But, again, the casting kills the buzz. It stars Matt Lanter who was SO TERRIBLE on 90210. Seriously. Just a bump on a log for five fucking seasons. You might as well put a toupee on a turnip and cast IT. You’d get more emotion. And wasn’t he too old to be a high school kid six years ago? I mean, why not just cast Luke Perry? ANYWAY. There is ONE show that sounds interesting. Reign, starring Adelaide Kane and Toby Regbo (above). Adelaide plays 15-year-old Mary Queen of Scots, who arrives in France betrothed to a Prince (Toby) she’s never met. Now THAT I would watch. What do you think? Do ANY of them spark your interest? Which ones? (via Zap2It)
