I think about this show often, mostly because it gave us Sebastian Stan.

A couple highlights from the article:

-One of the NBC presidents having virtually no recollection or interest in the show.

-The showrunner learning to never compromise from Bryan Fuller. Because Fuller's methods always make for such smooth productions.

-NBC reusing some of the shows abandoned marketing concepts for... The Cape. Fucking lmao.

I think the best quote from the oral history is in the footnotes: "Jeff Zucker did not respond to a request for comment" lmao

Sebastian Stan was in The Covenant a couple of years before Kings. Just saying. I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea lol.

I call that the homoerotic version of The Craft. So much baby oil...

I remember The Cape.

I remember watching the first episode, realizing it was dumb, and never thinking about it again.

The six seasons and a movie quote which originated on Community was about The Cape.

I think it was well acted and had heart. Maybe it was dumb but they tried to make it fun at least. Sometimes it is OK to be dumb.
