Schism - Special - Almost Twenty Years

I can already tell that this is gonna be a really good series...

The Schism is something that has never been made quite clear to us in the short time it was a big focus on The DSR. With new characters to get used to and a brand new central story, this was a great treat.

In so many ways, this is The DSR, yet in other ways it isn't so much. Something that I think is a lot different is of course the characters. I dont know how someone can come up with so many characters, each with their own diverse personalities like you, Tony!

To start, you dirty dog, Tony. No wonder you told me to read this before Season 4 of The DSR. Quinn, now called Sylan, has been revived and is now alive and well as far as I can tell. Of course, he is sad because now he is gone from Mia, seemingly forever, though I would like to hope they would see eachother again at some point. I'll be interested to see what kind of path his character follows in this season.

Rachel is the best character out of them all. She is so different then the others, with such a great personality. She obviously wants revenge, and in the first episode (not even the first episode, the prologue special) she gets that revenge. Now the only question is, what will make her continue to be the prime character of the series? I can't wait to discover...

Todd is absolutely hilarious. In a sense, when I first started reading, I thought he mine as well be Marshall. The way I see it, he is Marshall, just a journalist. But despite the simularity, I really like him because I also love Marshall. Therefore, since Marshall is one I just can't imagine hating, I get the same feeling in that of Todd.

Max, Emeka, and Jun - the team. So they were past members of the Schism, but are no longer. I'm sure, especially Max, will meet some other prime Schism members that will result in some kick ass fighting. Iwill admit, I loved the fighting scenes and how each of the team seems to have a different weapon. It is something you don't see everyday anymore.

The episode itself isn't quite as good some of The DSR, but then again, it is a brand new monster. DSR is so great, so getting another story and getting the characters down is something that I'm sure took some time, and it was shown here how great of a writer Tony is since the characters were just so great. But as a featue length script, I thought it needed just a little more pa-zaaz to get me pumped up and not be able to put it down. However, I didn't entirely get that and found some events to be confusing and surprisingly, I just thought it needed that extra little something.

In some places, the story was repetitive. Like with Rachel wanting to help. She bugged and bugged, for them to finally give in. Then the fight sequence went by so fast that it was over and done with before you even knew. That was probably my only real problem, besides me just feeling like it needed that extra little something.

Now that the feature length script is out of the way, onwards with the official 11 episode season!
