Did anyone watch the premire of The Gates the other night, if so what did you think of it?

I didn't but I thought that it looked fake.
A show about vampires, werewolves and witches, and it looks fake?
Shocker!
Shocker!
This is on ABC. Channel 7, probably. You can catch it online too. I saw the premiere, and I like it so far! There's more than one storyline. I'm really interested to see next week's episode, especially about the werewolves! Got to love those wolfies.

Kinda what I was thinking lol
It will be interesting to see if the series catches on. Don't know if it will be too confusing with all the supernatural things going on..

I wonder if it will turn out to be silly but like the cheesy kind of silly but think they are being serious.Know what I mean?
LOL. It's not really silly. It reminds me a lot of Housewives with supernatural creatures and murder. Why don't you guys just watch it instead of wondering? LOL.It's on tomorrow night. Anyone planning to watch? I'm looking forward to it!
I've heard of that description before and I guess it does fit. I am recording it tomorrow and will watch it probably Monday. Have to see my True Blood on Sunday..
Oh yeah, planning to watch that too. :D
i saw the first episode and i am planing on seeing the 2nd one tonight, i thought it seemed interesting but i could do without the teenage storyline, that gets me thinking of the vamp diaries on cw and i didnt really care for that one. now that i think was cheesy =o)
I watched the premiere and am planning to watch tonight. It's filmed in my hometown and I have a friend who works camera on the show sometimes so that's how I heard about it. It interested me enough to keep watching. I find that TV series take a while to really get off the ground, so I'm willing to give some slack in the beginning.
I saw the second ep. The teenagers are more the familiar kind than in Vampire Diaries, don't worry, Jennifer (although I do like TVD). ;) Well, as familiar as supernatural teens can be. I'm enjoying that plotline though. MILD SPOILERS
Lucas with his dad, and Brett. Devon seems suitably treacherous, I'm liking Nick Monohan, and that scene with Dylan Radcliff when Emily goes to school... rawr, LOL. I don't usually like blonds, but I'll make an exception. Poor Claire too. She just keeps messing up by not asking hubby for help.
I save my Sunday's for True Blood, but I've recorded both episodes of The Gates. I thought it was ok (first episode). I'm guessing it's a community for supernaturals to kind of keep them out of the mainstream? I'll give it a couple more tries and see if it grows on me.
I thought it was ok-- I am waiting to see what happens. Everyone is jumping ont he paranomrmal band wagon! Has anyone caught the new one persons unknown?? Creepy or Happy Town? I totally didn't get that one and stopped watching.
ABC has done summer mini series for the past couple years now. The first year they did Kingdom Hospital by Stephen King, last year they made Harpers Island and this year it's Happy Town. I like the summer series they do!
Jen, that's what I do on Sundays, record TrueBlood and The Gates. New user, wow I am totally in awe that you remembered all those names!! That is really paying attention..
The first episode was interesting enough. I plan to watch the second later this week. I'm not really sure what the overall plot they are trying to accomplish is thought. Harper's Island was great!
Kingdom Hospital... That was fun :)Ive been watching the gates, midly enjoyale. Will keep giving it a chance of course. A lot of supernatural activity which is good :)
I watched last night and recorded it both. Not too bad. Did not see the first episode so I will have to go online to see it. Look forward to seeing a few more episodes to make sure it will keep growing on me.
LOL, Heather! I'm not that good. I get a few reminders from IMDB. ;)I've never seen any of these other shows, LOL. The aspect of this show that I like is the paranormals as the main cast and "heroes." There have been other shows like that, but they're more in fun, like Being Human. Either that, or they hardly show the paranormal aspect. So I kind of like that this show is pursuing it more seriously and isn't shy on showing the paranormal side.
Also, I don't want to spoil anything, Jen, but you kind of see in the last episode that the community isn't really designed for supernaturals. At least it doesn't seem that way. It's early to tell.
New_user - a girl after my own heart! I don't think I could live without IMDB!Haven't seen the latest ep of The Gates but will watch it soon. Interesting observation regarding the coummunity. I can't believe that no one is aware of supernaturals..
I think I will at least watch season 1. I like the seriousness because without it it would be silly. I just wish there was a little more insight on the overall plot. There are just 2 episodes currently, correct?
I didn't watch it but you girls have got my interest up. So I went to set it up on my dvr and they're showing the pilot again this weekend. Sweet. :)

LOL, Heather, it's great resource, isn't it? I think they're setting it up so that all kinds of supernaturals have been living among humans for some time, but something attracts them to The Gates. Still a mystery what.Yup, Lenore, 2 eps. It was better than I expected too, Daniele. When I first saw it, I was like, Housewives again, no! But it's less house drama, more mystery. Can't wait to hear what you think, Laura!
Watched ep 2 last night, it kept my interest so I'll keep on watching it. I still think this community was created for the supernatural.....
I couldn't get into it. It might have had something to do with the fact I just finished watchign episode 3 of True Blood
LOL Gem, yea, nothing comes close to True Blood.
Gosh the ending of episode 3!!!!And I must admit I kind of like Alcide too!!!
*Whispers* Sssh! I live in the UK and have resorted to sneaky measures to watch True Blood!
Hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to get her Eric Northman fix!!
*nods head*And I hear that he is starring in a film based on the board game Battleship
*Mind starts wandering at "Eric" in a naval uniform and all the double entendre's related to ships.*
Alex Skarsgard could wear a clown costume (I hate clowns) and I'd still find him sexy.

Don't worry Gem H. I live in the US and still resort to sneaky measures to watch it...but it's worth it =D
People keep asking me if I am watching, I guess because I am a True Blood fan? I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
And SB....I seriously cracked up at this --->

I watched the pilot last night since it was repeated on Sunday and I had forgot to set up the DVR before hand. I think it has potential, though they tried to cram too much into the first episode I thoght. I kept going...HUH?
Jessie wrote: "I watched the pilot last night since it was repeated on Sunday and I had forgot to set up the DVR before hand. I think it has potential, though they tried to cram too much into the first episode I..."It did seem rushed. I'm liking the show okay, going to keep trying it out
Is anyone else still watching this? I'm liking it the more the show goes on. Definitley interested in seeing what happens next.
I've been watching it. I wasn't sure about it at first but it got really good!
I'm liking it! I missed this week's ep, but I'm going to check it out online!
I wasn't really impressed with the show at first, but it has gotten really good. The last episode was especially good! I love Dylan and Claire! :-)
I watch it, and I like it. It's very Desperate Housewives with vamps, wares, and witches. There is lots of gossip, drama, and secrets. I am likeing that they are finally starting to spill some of the secrets. I am still trying to figure out what the girls is that has the thing on her back, she seems to not have anyone in the community like her. I think the show has potential to be good, but I am wondering how long it can last with everyone already so hostile in the first few episodes. I too love Dylan and Claire!
I think Dylan and Claire are my favorite too but I've been a Luke Mably fan since The Prince and Me. :) I feel so bad for Charlie and Andie and can't wait to see where their storyline goes.
Charlie and Andie are so cute, but also feel so bad for them. I'm really starting to like this show. I think it's the kind of show that just takes a while to get going, ya know? It definitely needed 3-5 episodes before I decided that I was really willing to commit. I totally agree that it's a paranormal Desperate Housewives, which could be a bad thing, but for now I'm okay with. ;)
