Wasted Carbon

Holy crap! The Gates on ABC is an unpolished turd. If you took an uppity-version of Desperate Housewives, added a dash of CSI, and a sprinkle of Twilight, put it all in a blender, you, like ABC, could serve-up an equally shitty TV show. It’s the kind of show that has you eagerly anticipating commercial breaks.

Can ABC be more transparent in their attempts to corral Twilight-humping fan-addicts? What a steamy pile of crap that show was. The only highlight for me was the hot chic with the British accent, who used to be on Boston Legal. She could suck on my neck any time.

It’s not just the vampire-loving freaks who are clearly on the receiving end of ABC’s marketing attempts, but the show also features a super-gay, high-tech security command post. There are tons of futuristic monitors and other cyber-crap that wreaks of CSI or other pop-culture crime shows.

If this show is still on after six episodes, I will personally flog myself with a copy of Twilight at the local shopping mall. The Gates is uber-dumb. The acting, especially the acting by the staff in the The Gates security command center, is poor at best. How someone succeed in selling this concept is beyond me…
