Thought Crimes

[kristen999]

I just watched “Thought Crimes” for the first time. I was impressed for a TV pilot it really had a decent plot, well rounded character with a twist. I wonder why it never made it? I mean “Medium” and “Ghost Whisper” all had decent runs. I wouldn't have minded a couple years of TC..it had the ability for some nice mix of govt/cop type show with that paranormal twist.

Freya was a likable female character and Dean wasn't your typical cocky NSA/FBI et el character. There was some real chemistry between them and Joe did a bang up job of playing an agent who was actually likable. I dug his photographic memory bit and his sense of humor..plus there was a number of scene where his 'intense' gaze could melt steel.

Oh well, I'm glad we got him on SGA of course..would have been cool to have at least a season of TG though to have more Joe.

huh, I kept hearing about this and thought it was just some film I missed since some people kept writing fanfics about this Dean character and now I know why people like him so much LOL it's joe F. lol.
You said it was a good pilot, where did you see it? now I'm curious.

Downloaded it from a torrent, its never been released. If you really like to see it, e-mail me as its on a private server.

If I recall correctly, Joe F himself has said that Medium is part of the reason Thought Crimes didn't get picked up - the network had already bought Medium and kinda thought the concepts of the two shows were too close; they only wanted one "supernatural" show.

I liked Thought Crimes.. tho I not sad it didn't get picked up cos it meant we got the John Sheppard we all know and love! :D

I think now that you mention it..he did say that. Too bad, but then again I'm glad we have him as Sheppard!! I'll take the other loss!

I adored Thoughtcrimes and Joe said it was one of his favorite roles, one he wanted to continue. I just wish the DVD was available in Region 1.

Well it was a decent role for him vs the other ones I've seen him in.

But after everything is said and done....I'm glad it didn't get made or we wouldn't have our Shep.

I have read decent reviews of "Thought Crimes" and other people have mentioned that it would have made a pretty decent TV series. Glad to read another positive review, which just piques my interest more, because I haven't seen it yet. I am waiting for a Region1 DVD release, but so far, it's only Region2.

YES! Indeed.

I love Joe in SGA (heck, it's where I became acquainted with his existence) but I would have loved to have seen where the writers took TC.

"...and Dean wasn't your typical cocky NSA/FBI et el character."

That's what I loved about the show, how they made Brendan high-strung and, basically, all around human rather than stoic or a Mulder wanna-be. And the photographic memory gave him a touch of the unique.

Yes, Dean did have that aspect of anxiety....but in the end I'm glad it didn't do well of course.

Too bad we couldn't have gotten both.

lol
