Secutor (Cail Durris): Hrmph. I tried smiling. The muscles don't work that way.

It was canceled. Bad ratings I hear. I feel that the common viewer just couldn't appreciate the true artistic value and the intrinsic tapping into the human condition presented by the show. Regardless, I'm coughing up the sixty bucks for the box set. 10/10

It almost looks like Laramie and Cail are holding hands in that screenshot, IMO.

While I enjoyed the first few episodes of Cail Durris: Man of Action, I know I did not manage to watch the last few episodes. Cail Durris had all the action I've come to expect from a fantasy based roleplaying show. The fight scenes were definitely capable of heart palpatating, mouth watering excitement, but the simple fact that you always *knew* Durris would die took away from the suspension of disbelief.

I know the director was trying "something undone in fantasy action", but while trying to compensate for the "hero never loses" syndrome, he simply went a full 180 degrees the other way. This is as much a stereotype as the fat funny husband with a hot sarcastic wife in today's programming.

There was also the love-relationship between Cail and Sally. I know I'm not the only reviewer to point out how similar this was to Fran Drescher and Peter Marc Jacobson in The Nanny. The originality of Cail Durris came from their career choice, this time they were a shy and socially awkward Watchman played by Cail secretly in love with Sally the aggressive, slightly caustic Watchwoman, but the scenes played out not dissimilarly. You knew ultimately it would end in a kiss after one of the couple's constant arguments. Only, rather than Drescher's screaching voice, we were subjected to Durris' continual foul language.

Which brings me to my final complaint about the show. It simply was not child friendly. I have two tween daughters, and a third one on the way, but I simply can not let them watch any of my favorite episodes of Cail Durris. There is too much gratuitous violence as Durris grinds his way through the monsters in the Underdark, gruesomely being slaughtered at the end of every episode.

We all know that the actor had a wicked temper too. His antics after each of these "death scenes" is legendary. Durris is never going to have the mass appeal of friendly Steve Carell. Ultimately, I'm afraid that Durris is going to be type cast as an angry tough-guy, a kind of mean Duke, condemned to nothing but cop shows or the upcoming violent CSI spin-off, CSI: Detroit, Murder Capital.

Salina... mrawr. Now there was a female PC who could rock if ever there was one. ;)

I hear there was an unaired episode where Durris, upon seeing a certain Drow walking out the lower gates, shits himself and orders his entire party of 8 to rush inside, so he could lock the gates. Can anyone verify this for me?

Take your uncalled-for trolling elsewhere, sirrah.

You have no idea what the word trolling means, son.

That was an epic post, Oro. You are truly a forum warrior.

This is the best thread I've ever seen, and 90% of it was because of Oroborous.

Ah, thank you! I was honestly just a little afraid I'd manage to offend you.

One thing I always really hated about this show was their complete inability to hold onto secondary characters. Take for example episode 5, where Private Larche is mentioned. If Cail thought she was good, why didn't she appear in further episodes? Was she ever even mentioned again? This is a classic case of CCS if I ever saw one.

You, afraid of offending someone? Don't lie, it's not nice. :D

I would have been offended if I weren't laughing so hard, honestly. It was too true to deny though. Cail died an effing lot.

I'm so buying this book
