Oh wow, Master P's son? Hahaha..............awesome.

Two New Villains Cast

The Unit’s Michael Irby is joining the freshman NBC drama in the recurring role of Pokerface, a new villain who will be introduced in Episode 9. A high-level associate of Scales (Vinnie Jones), Pokerface is described as “a ghoulish-looking thug dressed in a suit whose face is frozen in an expression of glum murderousness.”

Additionally, actor-rapper Romeo Miller (f.k.a. Lil’ Romeo) has signed on to play Lil’ Z, a baby gansta and a mean, smack-talking chatterbox. He works with Pokerface and ends up confronting him and Scales.

As for Orwell, she should have back-up houses/apartments but probably needs a little bit of time to set up a new cover, turn on utilities and whatnot and simply needed someplace she knows she's safe. Motels are not the best place to be with only one door in and out, possible security cameras, logs of everyone that stays (even a fake name leaves your hand writting). Besides, it was The Cape's fault she lost her old place so he should feel responsible for protecting her while she gets a new place up and running.

The Tug 'O War was a wasted opportunity. Max spent the whole show spouting jibberish about the cape being more than a cape and its history and Gregor talked about it too. This was their chance to allow the cape chose a path of good as opposed the evil path the various Kozmos put it to. I would have enjoyed the scene much more if Gregor was winning and the cape betrayed him, allowing Faraday to get the upper hand. If they were trying to go for that it didnt work.

As to Orwell, I realize Orwell has two things going on. Not only is Orwell trying to hide from ARK but the girl is trying to stay off Flemmings radar for a more personal reason. Still, this was the same Orwell who in the previous episode dumped a poisoned cape out of her car ( mmm, car) onto the ground and drove off shouting "They cant find me." Now one week later she decides it ok to hang at the circus. I just like to imagine the writers watch the show.

He was on The Defenders not long ago as a rapper and it was terrible. This definitely isn't a way to convince people to come back after giving up on the first episode. Romeo gets the worst parts, not to mention he's not good anyway

[Navster]

the last train episode was pretty good, better than the first few... and the preview for next weeks episode looks good, with the Cape having to protect Chess....

It's just not something I see sticking around long. But hell I was saying it was doomed to be canceled from the moment it was announced and had anything to do with Summer Glau. Adding a no talent rapper piss ant like Romeo doesn't exactly help it's credibility.

[Psychonaut]

Summer Glau should just come stay here. I won't cancel her.

Couldn't understand where Monday night episode was headed at all, having the Cape and Chess working together to stop the train goes against everything the first two episode represents.

It's a common comic book plot device almost every superhero has worked with their arch nemesis towards the greater good. Examples would be Spider-man & Venom, Spider-man & Punisher many times, Batman & the Joker.

I think it was self preservation on Chess' part and desire to save the innocent people on the train on The Cape's part. They had no choice but to work together.

I'm really liking this show better than I thought I would. It's extremely cheesy at times, but I'm loving it!

[ChiefSequatchie]

The Cape a pretty good episode last night and it did relatively good according to the ratings. It did drop a little form last week.

While still fourth in its time period its done the following the past two weeks....

"The Cape" (5.3 million, 3.2/5) - Last night
"The Cape" (5.9 million, 3.5/5) - Last week

They're using every cliche they can, I don't think they're looking for credibility. People take this show entirely too seriously.

agree, plus, the two guys need to work together to save the train and (more importantly for Chess) themselves, is it that unrealistic that they would.

[Samus Aran]

The one thing this show has going for it is that the superhero is actually going out into the world and being active (Even fighting crime! Imagine a superhero doing that!), as opposed to Heroes where they just moped around for the entire season and then had a two minute fight at the end (which, granted, is still 1:45 longer than the Smallville fights).
