new batch of promos ..yet again:)

additional O.C. promos or as I have a fancy of calling them "why bother with those two new wannabe-Marissas... ?!"

I somehow never got around to glee over Prison Break S2 promos. I must've been bummed they didn't feature Veronica and was still hoping it wouldn't mean what it in actuality meant, and was hoping they would release it later, but that hope got crushed with the seas premiere ep and well... it took a bit of my interest in the show away with it. I don't dig the Michael/Sara pairing. granted they needed *someone* good inside those walls and the testosterone on this show would've been to high without at least two female leads, but I never got around to liking her character. she was always so bland. well, right up to the point when she overdosed *almost* and became interesting. however, Veronica got me from the first ep. and her and Lincoln story could've been romantic as well, so I don't understand the choice to kill her off... in favor of Sara? I read somewhere a funny post where someone mentions that they needed to garner money for William Fichtner from somewhere, heh.

anyways, the promos look elegant, yet edgy. nice idea to get everybody in that corner for the single shots. as characters they kinda are. they painted themselves into a corner deciding for the escape and now there is only one way to go, run, always.

grey's promos!! so lovely!! (1 more) (2 more) I like the new trend this promo-season, to have the promotional-shoots be in 'civilian' clothes. Stargate was first. They released Atlantis weeks before SG-1 and I remember my immediate thought was: if only they'd do it with Stargate SG-1 and they did(!) and the result was cool and funny if you look at the wardrobe choices for Chris Judge; but only if you squint your eyes! what is up with the airbrushing!? holy crap, Claudia Black and Ben Browder were stunningly hot in their Farscape PKW promos. don't tell me that after 3 years they suddenly need so much airbrushing!? the same goes for the rest of the cast. I'm happy they did any sort of photoshoot after shunning SG-1 (no s8 promos, yet Atlantis gets 2 photoshoots that year) in favor of Atlantis, but the season 7 promos are flawless. pure elegant scifi is what they emanate, but the s10 promos...leave much to be desired or rather much to be uncovered.

as for civilian clothing, we see it now with Grey's Anatomy S3 promos. simple. clean. high res, yet no excessive airbrushing.


OC promos, nice idea, clean and efficient. all in one shot. both the individual promos and the group shot taken from one photo. They recently also released an additional photoshoot for Benjamin Mackenzie (my fav). smart move. after they bailed on their primary starlet they need to focus on their hero and promote it entirely as a series around this one character rather than as an ensemble that somehow was one too much last year.
