I pretty much agree with everything he's said...it's amazing what has been put together here with a very small budget. I've seen shows with much higher budgets producing far, far less!!!
That being said, it seems very unfair to attack and blame the "not so famous" cast for "stale and robotic dialogue". Two points; Some of the cast members are VERY experienced and talented actors and, it seems, did the best they could with what the writers provided. If the writing is bad in any way...a talented actor can only rescue it so much....and i speak from both experience AND observation. Maybe the director, who appears to have much less experience then some of the actors, actually wanted the dialogue delivered that way. Unless we were on set we will never know this. Also, you are making assumptions that only "famous" actors can deliver dialogue...well, watching many famous actors on the big big screen, proves this is not always the case.
Anyway, nuff said, point made....I think this show is tremendous fun and very well put together considering what they've tried to do on what was probably a tiny budget. the acting is strong and purposeful, great stunts and fighting and some pretty impressive SFX, which, 5 years ago, even Babylon 5 couldn't match with a network budget!!
Go Trenches!!! Here's wishing great future success to all involved!!
