I'm feeling odd about this pilot. Peter is just not 'big' enough to be the Tick in my view. I can't shake the feeling that it needs a more obviously big dumb guy in the roll. The stuff with Arthur and The Terror is interesting though, Jackie Earle Haley was unrecognizable as the Terror, but he chewed the scenery with relish.

It seems as if the Tick is created by Arthur. Given that he doesn't otherwise seem to exist before that very moment and given that they kept coming back to the facial tick that Arthur developed after seeing his father crushed.

Out of the three pilots I thought The Tick was the best one. Peter is really funny and I can see him turning the character into something interesting in the long run and Jackie Earle Haley is fucking amazing and I will give anything that he does a chance. Didn't notice the Arthur thing, very interesting. JCVJ was interesting until I realized it wasn't going to be a Mike Tyson Mysteries where he was just going full bore with making fun of himself and they threw in the aggrandizing aspect of it. Interested to see where this goes since I'm a huge fan of the two previous incarnations

To my wife who isn't a huge Warburton fan, she actually thought it was him from the voice the gut does emulating him. (To quote her before I corrected, "I thought Brock would be beefier IRL")

Oh thank god. 4 episodes in last night, was so bummed thinking about this possibly only ever being 6 episodes. 12 might be tolerable even if it doesn't get a second season. (like Betas never did)

Warburton is a producer. I love the joke about the suit change.
They split the season cause they felt they needed to take us back to having to wait for episodes like weekly shows do it. They are anti Binge. Fuck that! Been waiting months for this show!
