So I was thinking they really should've cast Patrick Duffy in the Ving Rhames role. After all, Duffy is The Man From Atlantis, right?
LOL... that series actually flashed in my head as i was watching the underwater scenes. (i remember wishing as kid i had webbed hands and feet like mark harris ... i know, crazy! LOL.)
like i said, it wasn't half bad. but ving rhames was just too... uhm, "wooden". (and i totally blame that on the writing.) and denise quiñones ... pretty to look at, but just no substance. watch the hospital scene again, she totally hammed it. i disagree with justin hartley tho... i think he played it just right given the bad script he was given. plot. good. script. bad. (i couldn't help but chuckle when nadia, the siren, actually said the words "ha- ha-" during her fight with a.c... WTF??! this isn't a pirate movie?!)
best acting has to go to amber macdonald, who played eva... she played it just right and spoke naturally. not at all like she was "delivering lines". and might i say that daniella who played atlanna is stunning.
there was so much room to grow... too bad that won't happen anymore.
