Well I'm a bit late asking, but what did anyone think of this episode?
Did it have as many funny bits as last week's episode? And how did our boy look?

[Cindy]

Bright Eyes!

Whoa! The thread is actually open? I was going to post after the airing on Friday night... but yeah... I couldn't since it was still locked.

I'm about to head out for dinner... but I will definitely post more later tonight... ;D

But to answer your question, not that many funny bits... but there were still some... I had to laugh at the scene where Casey managed to smuggle in a chocolate bar and all the guys were looking at him enviously, wanting a piece since the food they had there was somewhat rather... questionable! LOL!

And Michael... Damn! He looks seriously hot as the commanding 'leader'! And plus, they actually remembered about his glasses! At least that part they all remembered and didn't mess up...

I was totally giddy when I saw that!

More later!

[Cindy]

Hiya everyone!

Like last week, CBS has uploaded a bunch of clips of various scenes for Episode 1.02 - 'Song Of The North' on YouTube.

If you can, I do urge you to watch the complete episode on the official CBS site or TV.com. At least that way, CHAOS can get some boost there seeing how their ratings haven't been doing well lately.

Anyhoo, back to the clips here... Like last week, I try to post them in order with little info on what the clips are about.

Enjoy! ;D

Hiya everyone!

All right... I guess I wll be the first to write a review for this.

So sit back and be prepared for a long read... LOL!


1. Spoilers vs. Final Version

If you guys get the chance, go to the 'Spoiler' Section and reread the spoilers that Jenn has posted for this episode. If you do, you find out that like 90% of the spoilers posted on there have been drastically changed in the finished product...

I was like 'Whoa'... when I read it... Only a few things remained the same, like Michael saying how he has two kids to the diplomat's wife before he went to show her the clip of her husband falling asleep at the UN meeting...

Everything else was scraped big time... and for once, I'm glad they did since the final version was so much better despite one major glaring confusion aka the Adele character.



2. Who Is the Blonde?

Which of course brings me to her next... I guess that's what you get when you shift episodes around. Keep in mind, this episode was originally Episode 1.03 before they switched it over to Episode 1.02.

I assume that the 'Adele' character aka the new deputy director was introduced then?

No clue... *shrugs*

You do see her in a 'recap' at the opening... which I assume was the recap for the first two episode...

But once the episode starts you just see her in Higgins office in the very beginning...

You have no clue what's her name is... much less her role...

Heck, she could have easily been mistaken for Higgins' secretary/assistant there... and it's not until 3/4 into the epiode that you FINALLY found out her name and her position in the Agency...

Talk about bad, bad... very bad character introduction...

And what's worst... I still don't know why the Agency would even hire another deputy director in the first place... Weren't they laying off people not in the 'Pilot'

I just can't see one department having 2 deputy directors when it's pretty obvious that Higgins is the 'Big Cheese' around and 'Adele' is acting like the pretty secretary/assistant of his...

Argh... Talk about major confusion there...

Oh, talking about Higgins being the boss around there... One of the scene that got changed from the original spoilers was where 'Adele' was supposed to be facing that slimeball calling himself a Congressman to confront him about him leaking the story of the diplomat defecting to the press when the guys were still working their way out.

It was changed... big time... and Higgins was the one who ended up confronting the Congressman. Not only does it enforce that Higgins was the one in power, but it also pretty much undermine Adele position in the Agency since she was the one who blurted the whole mess to the Congressman in the first place...

No hints of any romantic tension between Adele and the Congressman though. She only told him thinking she did the right thing... which I thought was a pretty stupid move to begin with...

So at this point, if you ask me... Adele is pretty much Higgins 'right-hand gal' now if she isn't busy being his secretary/assistant. So why even bother giving her the fancy titlte of 'deputy director'... It seemed to be misued in this case when it's clearly the case that she is not.



3. The New Sets

LOVE the new sets... especially the guys office! It's so much 'homier' and 'warmer' if you ask me. It has hall windows and curtains behind Michael and Rick's desk... and the hallways aren't that dark either.

Lots of hallway windows... with lots of proper lightening which I think is a big improvement from the set in the 'Pilot'

At least you can watch the guys walk down the hallways without hitting any of those horrible dark spots.

Although... I think Higgins office has remained the same... Hmm! Makes you wonder if his scenes were shot after the 'Pilot' got picked up.



4. Michael As A Leader

LOVE it! Hehe! ;D

What can I say... The guy is good at what he does... especially when it comes to tactics and stragegy. You have to give him props for that.

Not only did he figure a way to get into North Korea... he also figured a way to get out... even though it was supposed to be Rick's job...

But things changed with the wife told them she wanted to take a her sister's family with her.



5. Michael's Clothes & Glasses

And on a more superficial note... LOL!

Michael has many looks... At the beginning of the episode, you see him wear a suit, but it was with loose tie around his neck... which I happened to love...

Then you get him wear his suit proper once the guys got to New York City... The FBI was there, but too bad it wasn't the 'right' Missing Persons Unit... LOL!

Then you got him wear casual look... without a tie... Yummy!

And then at the end... Michael wearing his reading glasses!

YAY! Seriously, I wasn't sure if they would remember about it... seeing how they shot a 'Pilot' a while ago, but I'm glad they did!

So yes, he's wearing his reading glasses when he does his reading... and he looks super hot with them!



6. Rick, Casey & Billy Bonding

This scene was rather good. I really like it. You get to see the three of them bonding before they made a mad dash across the Chinese border.

Basically what happened is that Rick was thinking about Billy's words from earlier... about 'star-crossed lovers' a la Shakespeare... That's how he saw the husband and wife and they would do anything for each other.

Rick asks the guys or rather shares with them which girl they would take a bullet for. Of course, he goes first... then Casey... but Billy holds back...

I had to laugh at Casey's words at Billy... something along the line at how he 'takes offense at his lack of openess'... LOL!

Deliverance was spot on!

Interestingly enough, Michael was not included in this 'bonding' scene... since he was off talking to Higgins and checking on the status when they could cross the border...

I don't know what to make of it... It was a pretty big scene for the guys...

And it was did come back again at the end... the very last scene where Rick was searching for the girl on the computer to see what she was up to... Michael asked what he was doing and both Rick and Casey explained it to him... before they called out on Billy for not 'sharing' with them.

Billy eventually does share... but... nothing from Michael...

Like I said... It was kinda odd... which does make me wonder if that's the reason why they are shifting the next episodes to make it more 'Billy' and 'Casey' oriented after sharing the 'the woman I would take a bullet for' with Rick...



Overall, I think the pace of the episode was better compared to the 'Pilot' despite the glaring confusion of introducing the 'Adele' character.

It wasn't so rushed... better settings... with a little less humor than the 'Pilot'.

And the guys have settled down considerable when it comes to hazing the newbie... Although, Michael still does his part so every often... LOL!

He did send Rick off to the rooftop of the hotel to go check to make sure that there was enough room for a helicopter to land.

Although, I don't think he tell Rick to go take the stars 28 floors up! That's what they have elevators for! LOL!


What about you guys? Anything else to add?

[Cindy]

Hiya everyone!

I found this nice long detailed recap for the 'Pilot'. Originally, I was thinking of posting in the 'Press' thread, but I think this is better suited here especially if you haven't watched the episode and are just looking for a detailed recap.

One thing that I do want to point out is the part that the reviewer mentions "North Koreans aren't trained to connect the dots," Michael (Eric Close) says.

I believe Casey was the one who said it... and not Michael. It was during the scene when he and Rick went to get the passport for the wife and the woman there was asking them questions about the mission.

'Song Of The North'

Recap[/glow]

'CHAOS' "Song of the North" Recap and Review
April 10, 2011 09:35 PM EDT

CBS's new show CHAOS isn't just a dramedy, it's also a feel-good show. Season one, episode two, "Song of the North" starts with the North Korean Ambassador Song's career flaming out. He's fallen asleep at the UN and wakes just in time to applaud the condemnation of his own country.

The CIA wants him to defect--but there's a problem. First, Rick (Freddy Rodriguez) has to talk him off the ledge of the UN's roof. Then, when that problem is solved, he has to find a way to get Song's wife out of North Korea so he really will defect. "We're the CIA," Rick says. "We can do anything."

But extracting anyone from Korea is an impossible task, unless you're the ODS division of the CIA on this CHAOS TV show. In just one morning, they gain access to an International Film Festival that Song's wife Unchin (Joy Osmanski) will be working at. They also get Unchin a new passport and have it scanned as they enter the country, so she can leave with them. "North Koreans aren't trained to connect the dots," Michael (Eric Close) says.

Naturally, things aren't that easy on CHAOS, at least at first. Not only is Congressman Fuller and soon-to-be Chairman of the intelligence committee (Currie Graham) worming his way into the operation, but Unchin freaks out about the news of her husband.

She does decide to go with the ODS team eventually, but she has a new stipulation. They must bring her sister, brother-in-law, and their kids, too. This obviously presents a problem, one that the guys are determined to solve, even though in the real world it's an impossible one.

They all hop on a bus and make a run for the Chinese border. But for this plan to work, they need Higgins (Kurtwood Smith) to call the Chinese and get them to approve their crossing. They do, but there's an even bigger problem. Chairman Fuller jumped the gun about Song's defection and told CNN, meaning the North Koreans know everything.

There's yet another problem too. Song learns about his wife's attempted crossing, and he doesn't want her to do it without reassurance that it will work 100 percent. So Michael lies, claiming that he's gotten people out of North Korea before. "Nobody ever gets out of North Korea," Michael honestly says to his CHAOS team mates.

Yet, they're going through with the mission anyway. But before they do, Rick, Casey (Tim Blake Nelson), and Billy (James Murray) have a heart-to-heart in the woods, discussing what girl they'd give their lives up for, just like Song has been willing to do for his wife. Rick shares that he'd give up his life for a girl he dated in high school. Casey says his woman would be a girl he knew while stationed in Cambodia; she was fearless and was good at handling snakes. But Billy doesn't share. He keeps his heart in a box.

Back to the actual plot, the team decides to break through the gate. The four guards start firing but they're no match for Casey, the human weapon. He lays them all out--except for one guard, who defects with them. Because after that easy crossing, why not one more?

So, the ending may have been totally unbelievable, but, overall, it was a good storyline. Plus, there's a new villain. It's not just Higgins anymore, it's Congressman and Chairman Fuller. Higgins calls him a show-boater and shameless opportunist, but Higgins isn't going to turn in a detailed account of how Fuller lied about his involvement in the operation. Higgins understands politics, and he wants a healthier partnership between the Congress and the agency. "We will work with you," Higgins tells him as he walks out the door. "We don't work for you."

While there was plenty of drama--but little comedy--in this episode, it ended in a very sweet way. Song reunited with his wife and they shake hands. "Like my own gaping hole," Billy says, "they are not exactly primed for public affection."

Then the boys once again talk about their long-lost loves and Billy admits that there was was a woman he would have taken a bullet for. "Thanks for sharing," Casey says and tosses him a candy bar.

CHAOS airs on CBS Fridays at 8P.M. Eastern.

I agree. The changes were good except I was rather hoping they would keep the Director of the propoganda film in the scenes. He sounded funny.

I thought the change made sense but then I think it really changes the future spoilers I've read as Adele reads in the pages as being much more competent and authoratative than she came across in this episode.

3. The New Sets

LOVE the new sets... especially the guys office! It's so much 'homier' and 'warmer' if you ask me. It has hall windows and curtains behind Michael and Rick's desk... and the hallways aren't that dark either.

At least you can watch the guys walk down the hallways without hitting any of those horrible dark spots.

Although... I think Higgins office has remained the same... Hmm! Makes you wonder if his scenes were shot after the 'Pilot' got picked up.

If you recall, Higgins was definitely an after the fact reshoot. Originally Stephen Rhea played that role in the pilot but he didn't sign on for the show.

4. Michael As A Leader

LOVE it! Hehe! ;D

What can I say... The guy is good at what he does... especially when it comes to tactics and stragegy. You have to give him props for that.

Not only did he figure a way to get into North Korea... he also figured a way to get out... even though it was supposed to be Rick's job...

But things changed with the wife told them she wanted to take a her sister's family with her.

I agree. Good stuff. My only complaint is it felt so rushed. I wanted to see them acquire the hospitality van rather then just easily see them move from talking about it to being in the van. I wanted to see them cleverly escape. Plus, it gnawed at me that Song's wife was being more closely watched. I mean, the govt knew what he did since the husband was under house arrest (and how did he get on the roof?). Those missing details bug me. I don't need to see them but I'd like them addressed in a conversation or something. I'm not an idiot and don't like being treated as such.

5. Michael's Clothes & Glasses

And on a more superficial note... LOL!

YAY! Seriously, I wasn't sure if they would remember about it... seeing how they shot a 'Pilot' a while ago, but I'm glad they did!

So yes, he's wearing his reading glasses when he does his reading... and he looks super hot with them!

Well, what more can I add except I agree.

6. Rick, Casey & Billy Bonding

This scene was rather good. I really like it. You get to see the three of them bonding before they made a mad dash across the Chinese border.

Like I said... It was kinda odd... which does make me wonder if that's the reason why they are shifting the next episodes to make it more 'Billy' and 'Casey' oriented after sharing the 'the woman I would take a bullet for' with Rick...

Well, I think maybe as the leader and having his ex-wife around the office, it would be tricky. But who knows?

Overall, I think the pace of the episode was better compared to the 'Pilot' despite the glaring confusion of introducing the 'Adele' character.

It wasn't so rushed... better settings... with a little less humor than the 'Pilot'.

And the guys have settled down considerable when it comes to hazing the newbie... Although, Michael still does his part so every often... LOL!

Although, I don't think he tell Rick to go take the stars 28 floors up! That's what they have elevators for! LOL!


What about you guys? Anything else to add?

No but I still feel like they are skimming over stuff. I need to bond, relate to the characters and I feel like they keep serving me fluff. I like getting to know my boys better (ODS) but the ones they are helping... I need to know them more, too. As many of you have heard me mention before, in a screenwriting course I took, to write great stuff you need to love all your characters. Primary, secondary, all of them. If you give all a little love, it comes across in everything else.

I'm loving my team more but I need to understand and sympathize who they helping too. It might have made the Song's reunion that much more special to me.

Jenn!

YAY! Someone posted aside from me...

I can finally bounce some ideas! Hehe!

You know... I wonder why they cut him out. He was mentioned and he played a very big role based on the spoilers... Yet, they cut him out in the end?

I wonder why...

I thought the change made sense but then I think it really changes the future spoilers I've read as Adele reads in the pages as being much more competent and authoratative than she came across in this episode.

So in other words, they are making her LESS competent and authoratative now...

Her character is baffling to say the least, especially with no intro for her.

How are they going to air the original Episode 1.02 now... It would completely make NO sense if they air it later and have her character being introduce to the audience for the first time...

Unless they do some heavy duty editing and reshooting there...

I agree. Good stuff. My only complaint is it felt so rushed. I wanted to see them acquire the hospitality van rather then just easily see them move from talking about it to being in the van. I wanted to see them cleverly escape. Plus, it gnawed at me that Song's wife was being more closely watched. I mean, the govt knew what he did since the husband was under house arrest (and how did he get on the roof?#. Those missing details bug me. I don't need to see them but I'd like them addressed in a conversation or something. I'm not an idiot and don't like being treated as such.

The part that had me scracthing my head serious was how Song got to the roof in the first place... considering he was supposed to be under serious house arrest... I can't help but think that some of the scenes were cut out and left on the cutting floor there...

And you're right... Shouldn't the wife have been under a little more scrunity?

Well, I think maybe as the leader and having his ex-wife around the office, it would be tricky. But who knows?

And that's why I hate the whole ex storyline. Argh...

And speaking of ex, she was barely there... It seemed like they are all backpedaling and realizing the mistake of having introduce her in the 'Pilot'.

Rick barely acknowledged her... forget Michael... Heck, she was there acting as one of the 'sectetaries' that the guys went to get info/stuff from.

If you ask me, Balshik's one scene in the 'Pilot' was MORE memorable and had more impact that her one scene in this episode. Seriously, if you blink your eyes, you wouldn't even know she was in it.

No but I still feel like they are skimming over stuff. I need to bond, relate to the characters and I feel like they keep serving me fluff. I like getting to know my boys better #ODS# but the ones they are helping... I need to know them more, too. As many of you have heard me mention before, in a screenwriting course I took, to write great stuff you need to love all your characters. Primary, secondary, all of them. If you give all a little love, it comes across in everything else.

I'm loving my team more but I need to understand and sympathize who they helping too. It might have made the Song's reunion that much more special to me.

It certainly makes me wonder if that's the reason why they are shuffling episodes all over the place... This episode could have been a 'precursor' to the two upcoming episodes... which seemed to be dealing what the guys have bonded over in this episode...
