I'm mainly watching this 'cause the plot seems to be nearly identical to a roleplay two of my best friends ran a few years ago, and I'm curious to see how similarly they'll play out.

...of course, in the roleplay, the main characters were closer to villains, and mainly wanted to escape the school because they didn't like authority. Upon successfully escaping, they broke back in and rescued a bunch of other kids... to start a gang of anarchist terrorists and bank robbers!

So I personally hope Tower Prep follows that same route, unlikely as that is. :P

Oh, right, as per the show itself... the first episode wasn't actually BAD, but it was painfully generic (especially Ian), and the dialogue was... lacking.

Yeah... I would watch it regularly but Tuesday is the day everything is on this year.

I don't hate it though, that's something. It does seem like Cartoon Network just scrolled through a dozen or so Livejournal Roleplays for the plot of this one...

For whoever made that "glowing green eyes like a Gnome" remark on the previous page:

I think that might have been that green camera thingy. I'm pretty sure I saw one of those somewhere.

@Crewe: you mean night vision? and if that is what you mean then the red eyed ones mean heat vision.

^ No, I wasn't talking about the gnomes. Inside the school, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a camera with a green lense...

^ Looked like two green glowing eyes side by side to me. I'm talking about when he was looking for Orientation. Maybe the Fifth Ranger will be a rogue Gnome?

^ Could be, infact that's probably what they actuall are out of story but I think instory they're bad special effect meant to be eyes.

Just saw the 2nd episode. Is it just me or did one of Ian's room mates mysteriously disappear? Weren't there three in the pilot? I think the Indian kid's missing...

I wasn't the only one wondering that? Good.

Yeah, one of them just... disappeared. I guess they decided to make it so there are three people in each dorm (Ian, Don, ... that other guy/Gabe, Howard, The Great Unknown) so they just kind of dropped him.

Am I the only one who wished Ian actually got sent to West Campus? I wanted to learn some stuff about that.

dose anyone else remember "Black Hole High" also know as "Strange Days at Blake Holsey High", well I know Dini may have been influenced by that, just replace "science" with "powers"

In truth, I'd never heard of Paul Dini before this series, so...

Any thoughts on the new episode? I have to say, I was completely shocked. And this opens up a whole new level to show, especially the intentions of Head Master and Whisper and the rest.

I really enjoyed the third episode! It definitely brought things to a new level (though I figured out the message was from Whisper119 about two minutes into the episode). I also very much appreciated the War Games and 2001 nods with Whisper23.

Nice to see our first FX-based power onscreen—a speedster makes sense as a nice low-budget power.
