Author: codebreaker    Time: 8-23-2010 02:29     Subject: No Ordinary Family Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)



The Powells are about to go from ordinary to extraordinary. After 16 years of marriage, Jim and Stephanie's relationship lacks the spark it once had, and their family life now consists of balancing work and their two children, leaving little time for family bonding. During a family vacation set up by Jim in an attempt to reconnect, their plane crashes into the Amazon River. But this is where the fun starts for the Powells, as they soon discover that something's not quite right.

Each of them now possesses unique and distinct superpowers. But saving and savoring their family life will be equally important, as they try to find purpose for their new powers and embark on a journey to find out what defines and unifies them. The Powells are a totally relatable family who happen to be a little bit amazing.

I want to actually watch this show, but it comes on at the same time as NCIS.  We need to add it to VIP.  Sometimes I can catch the encore friday night but it still needs to be added to VIP.

I think strange guy is playing it from both ends.  He's doing the job for his boss, but at the same time he has his own agenda.  I think he's a baddie and will be an underlying force on the show.  Maybe their "Super villian"!!!!  Other than the Gen Tech CEO/Stephen Collins.  He's creepy  but not really giving off the evil vibe.

I thought it was great what JJ was trying to do for the Asst.  I hope she doesn't get hurt.  I really like her.

Okay Mystery guy is starting to really show his good side!  Point in our favor Babysexy.    He could have taken the Lab Asst.(katie) virginity but he stepped away.  He didn't want to be responsible for that.  PLUS!!  I think he really likes her.  Gosh I hope sooo.  It would be devastating is he was using her with no remore.  Although the convo with the "boss" leads me to believe he really likes her.

This episode was pretty much like the others.  I just like the Lab asst/BF story line.  

Daphne took her memory loss pretty well.  I would have freaked out and had a much harder time.  She just kept plugging forward.   Not realistic.
