BEBACK1: That was Brandon with his shirt off. LOL.

This episode came out really well. Michael always has me laughing with his rendition of Prof. Kellogg.

I think the Frontier Guard idea is really neat--I like the characters and the world you guys have created. But I can't seem to locate the plot. It's MIA. That makes the show hard to watch, despite the incredible eye candy, too.

@trekwiz I think it will come in time. Have to remember this is a web series that is short like many. So it probably will take a while.

@TVwriter23 It probably will--when it does, I'll definitely start watching again. It's an awesome idea, and the HFP team usually does very good work. I don't think it being short has anything to do with the lack of plot, though: short stories have plots, too!

I think the problem is that it was rushed out. If they'd taken some time to edit the scripts a bit further and consider each episode as a whole, they'd have likely ended up with a complete product. It's more like a movie teaser as-is.

@trekwiz it's more like a serial. It has a story you have to keep watching. What you thought the whole story (as every film has a plot it's going from point a, beginning, b middle, and c end) was going to be told in the eps. The point is to get to know the characters and the place, time etc. If you've only watched until ep 3 then how will you know where it's leading? Plus rushed.lol you obviously never had to produce film/video. There's nothing rush about it.

@TVwriter23 Even serials have cohesive plots. It seems as if this may have been better suited to a movie format rather than webisodes--the episodes don't have distinct plots, and that strongly takes away from it for me.

I'll know where it's leading because I have a friend among the crew. :-Þ Who, I might add, said my comments were echoed by one of the producers as well.

And, actually, video production is my field. Short form--commercials. Always a rush job, so I know one when I see it.
