Members WTGH Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 It has good elements but it's weak on the music. They should've gone individual. Couple shots should be reserved for the long standing like Bob & Kim, Lily & Holden and Jack & Carly. Peck looks RIDICULOUS! Aloof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members winterguy125 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 I love it, sort of starts of with History and moves to a modern them, I really love it, I can't wait to see the other versions, I was not happy about Luke being in a small picture though, with Alison being in a big one, Van waited almost a year to get on the opening and they give him this small little picture yet the one that has only been on the show a month gets a huge one, the other versions better have a full Luke picture with Noah.

Members Matt Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 It's not bad bad, but it's not really great, either. IMO, it's a concept that really *could* work and *could* be outstanding, but it's just not quite there. The show clips in the background are nice as are some of the establishing, stock shots (even though some of them really don't seem to fit who they appear with) and the theme song has its moments, but it's really not catchy and it goes too many different places and with too many different styles. As someone said above, it's like two different songs cut together. And why the gold color scheme? Are they bound and determined to make the opening gold?! The last opening started out gold before they changed it. If they just tweaked the theme just a bit (perhaps have horns carry the melody instead of the keyboard and make it a little more oomph), change the background to black with the stock shots/show clips in a bluish tint, start out with a globe in space spining out towards the screen which would then dissolve into the cast shots and finish up with the logo, in gold lettering, against a black background with the globe "O" being more of a realistic spinning globe (like they did with the logo bugs coming back from commercial a few years ago), it would actually be pretty nice. Why don't the networks ever consult me on things like this?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ATWTCarOn4Ever Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 LOL thats what I love about Austin Peck's part! He looks so confused and helpless...haha. And I'm just going to say that I wasn't surprised nor did I mind that they started out with Jack & Carly since obviously they have a lot of history together and are major vets on the show. However that doesn't mean that Jack and Carly belong together. Todays show was excellent however. Jen Landon is doing such a great job with Cleo. I'm actually scared of what the psycho will do next. Jade is hilarious to me. She lies with perfection. I almost believed her when she said she DIDN'T send the email although I knew in the back of mind that it was a fact. LOVED Bratie today. But I also loved Jack and Katie obvious angst. I'm so in love with triangle. Margo is also a great part of the whole thing. Her prodding Jack was icing on the cake for me. While Kate is tolerable with both Snyder men its blatantly obvious how horrible she is with kids. Her scenes with Sage were pathetic to be honest and awkward at best. Simon/Paul Leyden had more chemistry with that little girl and hes of the opposite sex! I felt no sense of connection or cuteness in the scenes at the Farm which is kinda sad. But I'm still torn about whether I want Katie with Brad or Katie with Jack. Brad dropping his towel in front of Katie was a nice bonus for me... Gotta love Jack and Brad fighting at the station though. "You know how you get when things are going your way...." "MY WAY!? Whats my way Brad?" Michael Park and Austin Peck have a really good chemistry onscreen and it shows. Its totally believeable for me to see them as brothers and I love their little sparring matches. I love the Gold Theme though. Plus the graphics look pretty normal to me. I didn't notice anything that was lacking in quality to be honest.The music though is kinda disjointed. Like it jumps suddenly from being slow and calm to this upbeat and high energy type of tempo. I like both but the transition isn't as smooth as it could be. Its really hot and it makes it stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members winterguy125 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 I will also add that I am so happy that I NEVER have to see that old piece of crap opening again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ATWTCarOn4Ever Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 That scene in the top right of Brad was a funny one as well..."JUST PLAIN BRAD!" The old wasn't THAT bad IMO. But I do welcome the change and I'm definitely loving the new one overall although it could be better in some areas. I also would have liked to seen individuals of important characters. Like Lucinda and Craig should have had their own individual shots. Luke and Jade could have been paired together though. Same with Alison and Susan. Paul and Meg should have been in a pair. Henry and Katie in a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree. I really like the visuals. This wasn't cheap to make! It's slick. The music, however, SUCKS. It's not something you could hum along with..it has no real melody, does it? RE-DO the music, ATWT~!! PLEASE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok just watched again. I just don't like the color at all. And you guys are right - the actors all look SAD Not many are smiling - and they just look sad and awkward. Example: Look at GWEN - she just stares emotionless and then is directed to turn her head? That's weird. Why is Brad with Meg? Hopefully that isn't a sign for things to come.... I just don't like it. And why does the song get upbeat and modern right when Kim gets there? lol - they should put the younger people on as it gets techno-ish like that.

Members Josh Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 The music is weak as compared to what we've had in the past so I don't like that! I do however love the very ending...the gold logo with the outline of the globe is great however!! I love that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alwaysAMC Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ohhhh yeah - I always forget that - mainly bc I just see Austin Peck as a new character and not really related to any core family....he just sucks. But still - Meg with Paul makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 30, 2007 Members Share Posted April 30, 2007 I watched again and I still hate the music. gosh, it's so awful that it really makes you wonder how the network and production company LET THAT go on the air. It's just NOT hum-worthy. And everyone knows that a TV show theme usually should be something people can hum along with. It's one of the things that helps keep a show fresh in the viewer's mind.
