Thems fighting words anon. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ But really, 12 Angry Men is an awesome movie (I actually just watched it again 2 days ago). I only watched the first season of Deadzone though, so probably never saw this episode.

[(Anonymous)]

IT was in the first season, ep 5. \o/ The first season was the only one I really liked too. -.-'

[kaijinscendre]

Boy. I don't remember that show at all. :X

[fingalsanteater]

I need to finish this series. What season is that episode?

[intrigueing]

I've never seen Deadzone so I can't say anything about it, but OMG 12 Angry Men is one of my favorite movies ever and I can see how it's totally the kind of movie that would lend itself to homages and remakes really well.

[greenvelvetcake]

I never thought the movie 12 Angry Men could be improved upon until a thread on reddit asking the question, "What would happen if you added the Hulk to your favorite movie?" and someone came up with a jury of twelve Bruce Banners, all trying to keep from Hulking out.

I know this only barely relates to your secret, but we don't talk about 12 Angry Men enough.

[intrigueing]

This is the best thing I have ever heard in a long time :D

[iceyred]

Awesome idea is awesome. Somebody should write a fanfic about that.

12 Angry Men is a great movie. I think part of why I like it is that it relies on acting, tension, and characterization to tell the story, instead of loud explosions and 'There's red in my ledger' type of dialogue.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. I think this might take the cake for most backhanded and passive aggressive snobby comment that has no relevance to the conversation whatsoever in FS history.

Also, you do understand the concept of different genres, right? Like, a superhero movie would be just as sucky taking place in one room as 12 Angry Men would be if it had explosions in it? You get that, right?

[anonymouslyyours]

What? ...you're missing the point and you're wrong about missing the point. O.o

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god. My eyes almost melted out of their sockets from the sheer amount of corrosive bitter snoot in this comment.

Really? Come on, that's like praising Casablanca by making a random dig at Captain America regarding Nazis. For one thing, it's no contest, so you look like a coward kicking someone when they're down when you have the blatantly obvious advantage. And for another, it doesn't make the movie you like look better to the people reading your comment, or convince them that the movie you dislike isn't good. It just makes you personally look silly for being so childish that you can't enjoy anything on its own merits, unless it gives you a chance to tear down something in order to feel superior to it.

[(Anonymous)]

this is the most ridiculous thread and everyone needs to calm down

[iceyred]

Would you like a chill pill with that misinterpretation and overreaction?

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly hope I never meet you, because I never want to know you as a person.

[ariakas]

Well, something crawled up your ass and died.

LOL

[intrigueing]

I was scrolling through this and totally missed out on an outbreak of random Avengers wank because I assumed the wank was over the Exhibit A shenanigans. WHAT.

Re: LOL

[greenvelvetcake]

Wank? What wank? *scrolls up* pffhahaha I had no idea that sprang up. This is so silly.

[(Anonymous)]

I really liked the first few seasons of The Dead Zone and I think Unreasonable Doubt (Season 1, Episode 5) was really well done. I'm not sure I would agree with you, but it was very good.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. If I'm remembering correctly, Johnny knew the kid was innocent in his case, by way of psychic vision. There's a fairly big difference between a story that's about a man who doesn't know for sure someone is innocent, but is determined to argue their case anyway because the evidence doesn't add up and everyone deserves a fair trial, and a story that's about a man who knows for a fact that the accused is innocent and is trying to highlight the evidence that proves it.

12 Angry Men was about reasonable doubt and the quest for fairness in a world of human fallibility and the inability to know things for sure. Dead Zone removes the element of doubt, and is about the quest for justice when you know things that no-one else knows and struggle to prove them in time to save a life. Different struggles, different forms of courage.

Both are pretty powerful, but personally I'll give 12 Angry Men the edge for trying to find justice in a world where you don't know the truth and being wrong runs the risk of letting a genuine murderer go free. The struggle to be fair when you know you might be wrong is more powerful to me than the struggle to be fair when you know for a fact that you're right.

Well, Johnny didn't know from the start. His first vision was just about the kid getting shanked in prison, so he was like "IDK if he's innocent or guilty, but this could end his life so let's slow it down."

Your comment is great and I agree with it tho!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's been ages since I've seen it, so I'd forgotten that. The psychic element still changes the name of the game, though.

I love Johnny, although his life depresses me so much. He's such a good guy, and he keeps getting crapped on.

[orangescones]

At least you like it, 12 Angry Men is awesome. (That's all I have to say since I have no idea what Deadzone is.)

[ladyguinevere83.livejournal.com]

I actually love both 12 Angry Men and the Dead Zone version of the episode. Normally I get annoyed when a TV show clearly takes a film and re-does it for the show, but with Johnny's abilities it really works as a plotline.

Have been meaning to re-watch The Dead Zone for a while. Maybe I should grt on with that!
