Edit: I changed the title of this post to reflect various observations from the Saints game on ESPN and K-Ville (if we actually change the channel away from the game).
– At the end of an interview with locals he conducted for ESPN, Steve Gleason had this to say, “New Orleans is not about catastrophe, it’s about character. We’re not about problems, but about purpose.” And he was wearing a Defend New Orleans tshirt!
– A nationwide pre-game poll that asks “Who Will Win The Saints-Titans Game?” has the majority of the nation opting for the Saints, the Titans supported by Texas, Oklahoma and Tennesee, and a number of southeastern states Undecided.
– Linda Novak sighting in the New Orleans snippet narrated by Spike Lee
– After the first 10 minutes of K-Ville Episode 2, I am completely confused as to where in the city they are at any given time (they’re at Louis Armstrong international airport, but inches away from the Crescent City Connection and downtown). No piece of TV fiction-drama is or has to be faithful to the city it’s set in, but I cannot tell whether this is a cop show set in New Orleans, or a cop show set in New Orleans.
– National Post: New Orleans Prison Doctor Calls K-Ville An Affront
No one died in the OPP. Fiction or not, this depiction is an affront to the medical staff and deputies who, for five harrowing days, risked their lives for the inmates and civilians in their care … Unfortunately, since so many factual depictions make up the back story of K-Ville, viewers nationwide are left with the impression that prisoners under our care drowned.
There was a column yesterday in the T-P exploring the possibility that there might actually be an ex-con-turned-cop in the NOPD. Thought it was kinda cool.
Also kinda weird to think that the jump-cutting in the show has become even more pronounced. Wonder if it will eventually induce some seizures?
It will probably jump to a sound stage in Los Angeles
