C’est quand même dingue avec Ryp : même les flingues crachent du sang !

Je suis en train de découvrir la série. Je n’en attendais pas grand-chose, mais au final c’est une excellente surprise.
Le rythme est rapide, les séquences s’enchaînent bien, le jeu sur les personnages qui se ressemblent (c’est pas mal d’avoir pris Ryp pour ça, lui qui dessine ses personnages tous pareils) est propice à de bonnes scènes, les dialogues tournent bien, le grand nombre de séquences muettes ne donne pas une impression de décompression mais plutôt de rapidité, l’absence globale de récitatifs (hors flash-back) permet de ne faire entendre que les voix des personnages, bref, c’est plutôt quali, en tout cas, sur les deux premiers épisodes.
Qui est ce David Schulner ? Qu’est-ce qu’il a fait d’autre ? Il a une écriture très « télévisuelle », si j’ose dire, concentrée sur l’acting des personnage, la rapidité de l’action et l’efficacité avec laquelle les informations sont passées. Les « origines » de l’intrigue, exposées dans l’épisode 2, vont très vite, efficaces, claires (et peut-être propices à des retournements de situation).
Vraiment, carré.

To kill or not to kill: a deep divide pits the clones against one another, just as an old enemy returns…[/quote]
[quote=« David Schulner »]Yes, first we sold Clone to NBC. Network television is very much incident driven so our executive, who had surprisingly read the first five issues of Clone (I know it shouldn’t be surprising that they would actually read something they bought but unfortunately it is) and basically said we don’t want to ask you to put all five issues into the pilot but… can you put all five issues into the pilot? So against our better judgement (which is a phrase that comes up a lot when writing network television) we jammed a ton of story into the pilot. Then when the show didn’t move forward Syfy immediately picked it up. But they were like, woa, slow down, why so much story? Let’s get to know the characters more. So we slowed everything down, spent time with our characters, fleshed everyone out, and I wrote something we were all excited about. But, alas, they too decided not to move forward.
…]It was too awesome. Too good for TV. And something about a show already on called Orphan… something. Maybe Orphan White? Anyway…[/quote]

« The national clone crisis is over. The threat has been eliminated. »[/quote]
Je continue à lire la série. J’approche de la fin annoncée.
J’aime toujours bien. C’est rapide, musclé, parfois violent et gore, mais les situations sont variées. C’est plein d’astuces (la scène « écrivez un chiffre », dans l’épisode 11, était vraiment vachement bien).
J’aurais simplement deux petits reproches : ça va parfois un peu vite (des idées fortes sont posées, et paf, résolues très vite) et on expédie un peu facilement les personnages, y a une tendance à s’en débarrasser alors qu’on n’a pas eu le temps de bien les connaître.
Tout cela donne le sentiment d’une gigantesque profusion d’idées, qui ne sont pas exploitées à leur plein potentiel.
Mais c’est quand même une série bien sympa.
