Tonight On TV: Desperate Tin Man
By fred | December 2, 2007
* Once again there’s a lot of the usual stuff missing. Not that Sundays are usually that loaded anyways…
* And at 9.00 - because there’s nothing before - ABC sticks to its goods with a new Desperate Housewives, followed by a new Brothers & Sisters
* And in order to have something else to say, I’d like to mention the new and revisited version of The Wizard Of OZ, brought to you by SciFi. It’s called Tin Man and the first episode (out of three - yes, miniseries) airs tonight at 9.00 Episodes 2 and 3 will air tomorrow and Wednesday, same time same channel.
Now it seems many people are pretty excited about this one, I’m not sure I’m one of them. What the hell is wrong with me ? Anyways, I think I’ll probably try to watch it though and see what it looks like. It might be pretty fun, plus I think I may have a little crush on Zooey Deschanel, starring as DG here, so I’ll have to take a look. In most of what I’ve seen her in, she’s always portrayed from a weird or odd to, at least, a somewhat unusual character.
She’s usually kind of crazy, and I do like that. She was great (and so refreshing) on Weeds and I hope things will be just as fun on Tin Man. Some people also seem to describe it as a mix of shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Heroes and Pushing Daisies. And they do mean Heroes in its first season, so that could be pretty awesome !
Plunged headlong into another world, DG must discover her true identity, battle evil winged-monkey-bats, and attempt to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by a decidedly strange trio of companions. “Glitch,” an odd man missing half his brain, “Raw,” a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage, and “Cain,” a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as Tin Men, for their tin badges) seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG’s destiny leads her to an emotional and terrifying showdown with the scintillatingly wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined. DG’s life, as well as the very future of the O.Z., hangs in the balance.
