I had absolutely no problem playing it. Keep in mind I use MPC. Barton 3200+ and Ti4200 for old school power.

I had no problem playing it....sure it was darker than most TV episodes, but what do you expect with a leak? And my computer is very average. Either way, the video was very watchable.

Story here about other pilots being leaked:

Now in a move that one isn't sure whether to call clever ground roots promotion or a security leak, five of the Fall season's big pilots have landed online across various torrenting networks - "The Class", "Shark" and "Jericho" from CBS, and "The Nine" and "Traveler" from ABC. The shows in question are also said to be DVD quality full screen versions, indicating these are likely DVD preview screeners that have ended up online.

Saw a preview for Traveler...that show looks freaking awesome. Kinda like Prison Break, but the "prison" is New York City.

Apparently someone leaked a screener of the series premiere, so I thought I'd check it out. I liked it! The story is about people in different parts of the world who discover they have special abilities. One by one each uses their ability for the first time, and towards the end a few of them find each other and realize their purpose. There's a guy who can fly, a girl who regenerates like Wolverine, a mom who's being "followed", a junkie artist who paints the future, and a Japanese fellow who can manipulate space-time. Of course, the pilot can't do much character development for all of them, but you have your typical superhero discovering themselves situations. One is ashamed, one is afraid, one's trying to convince his friend of his powers, etc.

While watching it I thought it was VERY reminiscent of "Unbreakable", the Shyamalan flick about superheroes and supervillains in real life. I wonder if Shyamalan's attached to the show in any way. But I think this show will do very well with comic book fans and fans of "un-reality TV" (people who like "LOST" etc.)

Anyone else seen it? Thoughts?

Have been seeing the promos for this thing.

I'm sure we will be seeing TV News headlines shortly of many deaths of U.S. kids trying these stunts.

Lots of Darwin awards to be handed out :thumbsup:
