Fallen

ABC Family is not a station normally on view in the cheese household, though with the impending birth of the princess, it may soon become a "favorite." Last night, though, was one of those rare occasions when it was intentionally watched because of the made for TV movie Fallen.

Basically, it was the story of a Nephalim, the supposed offspring of an angel and human, who would fulfill some prophecy to do something, blah, blah, blah.

For a made for TV movie on a fourth rate station it was actually pretty decent. The opening fight scene may have been the best part (for a movie about angels there wasn't a whole lot of flaming sword fights), but overall it was fairly compelling. Momma cheese wondered if this wasn't the lead in to a new series, and once the credits ended, in fact, a preview ran of a six hour mini-series continuing this story that will air in the summer of 2007?! Why even show this one if the audience has to wait another year for the next installment? This isn't a motion picture release people! The TV audience doesn't have a long memory. No doubt when the next part airs the cheese will miss it, and then curse the executives at ABC Family for showing each part a year removed from each other.
