NBC picks up “The Cape” new show with Summer Glau

Summer Glau in THE CAPE -- First Pics!


The one-hour superhero drama series stars ER’s David Lyons (pictured) as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin) and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Vince becomes The Cape - his son’s favorite comic book superhero - and takes the law into his own hands. Rounding out the cast are James Frain (”The Tudors”) as billionaire Peter Fleming – The Cape’s nemesis – who moonlights as the twisted killer: Chess; Keith David (”Death at a Funeral”) as Max Malini, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape; Summer Glau (”Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”) as Orwell, an investigative blogger who wages war on crime and corruption in Palm City; and Dorian Missick (”Six Degrees”) as Marty Voyt, a former police detective and friend to Faraday.

Summer laughed, “We joke because I’m sort of [The Cape's] sidekick that he’s going to have to call me ‘Pashmina’ or something … or ‘Mini Cape’ … ‘Shawl.’”

Are you hinting that maybe you painted your toe nails black? I don't know why anyone would just paint their toe nails black unless they were trying to hide a toe nail fungus or something. Yum.

I'm not being negative. The Cape got its pickup didn't it. I didn't say anything bad about the "Cape". I just think black nail polish is bad luck. Throw some salt over your shoulder.

@SE ....I think it is dark purple nail polish, so its cool? I blew up the picture and added brightness and it is purple LOL
I didnt even notice her finger nails till you said this.

@ maria did you read the comments on that page ?
http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/46906500.html
alot of negative comments, mostly about the costume for the cape. which does look kinda corny, but I wil wait and judge after I have seen a couple of eps.

LOL, you blew it up and analyzed the color from what like a group of single pixels? You're just like Summer Glau's new character. You're a techie sleuth, and you dug up some evidence that was overlooked by mere normal people using your superior techie skills. But to throw back a challenge at you, are you sure that's not purple and blue reflected from the environment?

Let's say you're right. I guess that would be better, and then I'll have to retract my earlier scathing comment.

well pretty sure , the table was black. the funny thing is that when I enlarged the picture
the table just seems to be a ordinary table. she appears t be typing , but nothing there to type on, so I guess she is just tapping on table? there were 2 bars devices on table, and the one stand up thing so maybe rest will be added by special effects?
we should have a contest as to what is she doing there?
I 'm whith you on the black fingernail polish , and also black ghoulish lipstick, it isnt appealing.
I noticed on V anna wears a dark ghoulish lipstick, I guess to make her appear more villianous, but they should realize you dont need that , it is all in the acting, and morena does that.
about the cape if you look at summers outfit and the cape's costume, it makes you wonder about the producers of this show. I mean do they realize they have to capture the nielsen audience to stay on the air ?? or are they just making it alot like the comic it is based on? methinks it is like the comic with no thought to if this is going to appeal to nielsen audience or wider audience than few comic fans.
so far summer fans or tscc fans and the cape comic fans will watch it, but that isnt enough. I like seeing summer in a regular tv show again but I hate to see her be in another short lived show. this could be just that.
but I am basing this all on a few pictures and the comments I read under that other article

I think those are fake press on nails. Still, pretty tacky if you ask me. What's wrong with just clear and glossy. You can't go wrong with that.

Honestly, I have no idea whether this is a good concept or not. I never heard of the Cape before. Didn't even know it was a comic. Sometimes these comic book hero type concepts work on TV (i.e. Smallville). Sometimes they don't. I read in some posts that they spent a lot of money to produce it thus far. Don't forget, the lead character is this Cape guy. He's carrying the show. If his character is not appealing, the show won't have a chance.

As far as her costume, not much opinion there from me. I'm guessing she's suppose to look like a casual hip young chick. I don't really care all that much. It's not a concept that interests me all that much. It's unlikely that I will watch this show. But I hope they do well with it. I mean why not.

But I'll agree that they need to appeal to more audiences than just comic book geeks to get the ratings. I don't know if bastardizing the original concept to achieve ratings is the right way to go either. Sometimes when they deviate too much from the original, it screws everything up and nobody likes it.

I hope she wants for people to know when her actual birthday is. I certainly do not divulge that kind of information on the web unless I have to.

I appreciate the link. I assume you were, in part, replying to me. But it's probably better that I not get too involved, personally, aside from some casual and superficial speculation.
