"Tin Man"

[mapsedge]

Someday, the Sci-Fi channel will surprise me.  No, someday they'll shock me and produce an original movie that doesn't suck gallons of sewer water from the first frame. 

Plenty of nerve, but no heart and no brain.  A few yellow bricks short of a road.  A few munchkins short*.    Dialog a mauseating mix of modern corporate jargon  ("we were tasked with...") and archaic cliché ("I know not.")...often in the same sentence.**

Flying monkey tits...or whatever they were...puh-lease. 

Sci-Fi producers: STOP HIRING YOUR WRITERS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE NINTH GRADE.

* Double points for that one.  Hee.
** "Merlin" suffered from that, too.  It also suffered from Miranda Richardson, who was absent from "Tin Man", the mini-series' only saving grace.
