it a fun action show and probably would have become a cross between smallville and x file and baywatch . one of the problem with wb and upn merging be that they be two totally different network with a different feel for their audience so i almost never watch upn a they do not know how to do action plus fantasy plus personal relationship make so popular with buffy and angel and smallville and supernatural . cw cancel the show and aquaman aka mercy reef and wb have greenlighted . luckily you can see the aquaman pilot on itunes and judge for yourself their decision to kill the show before it air . the fantasy bit be bermuda triangle and atlantis and a guy who swim fast and sense that he may be able to communicate with underwater denizen . oh and yeah and the secret navy group investigate strange phenomenon . you have get potential complicate relationship a young cutie guy who hit on all the bikini babe he can and find out he a lost prince and become an unselfish do gooder when he would rather party while still want to solve the disappearance of his mother . add in a stepfather with lou diamond philip in the role play nicey nice a lot like mr. kent in smallville . a girl next door type a his best friend and a woman naval pilot with a chip on her shoulder and and a big tough black guy who give him a shakespeare play a training for his destiny ( aquaman be mr. action and mind you and not a reader so he be not a appreciative of the gift a he really just want to learn to kickass ) . and a really wicked mermaid i mean siren . add bikini and shirtless hunk for eye candy . only thing miss from the formula be a wicked manipulator like dan in one tree hill but that would have come later . and a close male friend who be either another hunk and a techy geek or a funny sidekick . script need a little more work and though and a occasionally the line sound a little comic booky . cw cancel aquaman in favor of runaway and hidden palm ( they both sound more suitable for the over 40 crowd who watch cbs ) which i think they will probably regret . it a pity the new exec at cw do not understand that aquaman appeal to wb fan age 30 and under . it a pity more episode weren not make could have start a new trend a cancel show never air but become a hit while view on itunes and then become a major motion picture . after all superheroes seem to do good at the box office than the small screen . oh well . have a good time watch the pilot a sadly that be likely to be all we will see of aquaman .
