As we have it on our TV Comeback (and premiere) Calendar winter edition, The Cape, a new hourlong drama by NBC is premiering January 9th 9/8 C with a two hour episode.
“The Cape” is a one-hour drama created by Thomas Wheeler, and starring David Lyons (“ER”) as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, “Life on Mars”) and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, “Flash Forward”). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Vince Faraday becomes “The Cape” – his son’s favorite comic book superhero – and takes the law into his own hands.
Rounding out the cast are James Frain (“The Tudors”) as billionaire Peter Fleming, The Cape’s nemesis who moonlights as the twisted killer Chess; Keith David (“Death at a Funeral”) as Max Milani, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape; Summer Glau (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”) as Orwell, an investigative blogger who wages war on crime and corruption in Palm City; Dorian Missick (“Six Degrees”) as Marty Voyt, a former police detective and friend to Faraday; Martin Klebba (“Pirates of the Caribbean”) as Rollo, member and unassuming muscle of the circus gang of bank robbers; and Vinnie Jones (“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”) as Scales, resident thug and cohort of The Cape’s nemesis Chess.
I´m loving the idea of a blogger featured in The Cape and mostly if Summer Glau´s going to portray her. Let´s hope this brings NBC the chance to crossover content to their own web in the format ala “Orwell´s Blog“.
To warm things a little, I got three Behind the scenes videos about The Cape.

I knew about this show but never got around to seeing it but when I did have the time the show was gone?
Never really got a chance to like it or love it and the shows keep moving on and off and on and…Could you please make up your mind in what direction are you going and from what I saw it was going to be a good show showing us all something we have never seen before but we never got a piece of the pie and never had an understanding of what the show was to do for all of us but it looked really good and it was never on for long. I feel like we have been teased and toyed with to some degree. You better off making this movies for people to see and then put it on tv but at the movies make it more nasty and dirty and add some spice to it.
