Talk:Solitary (TV series)

message: I'm watching the pilot right now, and at least two of the contestants reek of Actor.  Is this show even "real"? UPDATE: at 35:27 into the pilot, one contestant "8" has a wireless mic transmitter in her back pocket, indicating that sound technicians enter the pod rather frequently, or that the actors don't remain inside their pods for much time at all.  I'm ashamed to say I have been on a reality TV show, and there is no way in hell a sound tech would allow you to go to sleep with his mic pack in your pocket, especially a show that has the kind of budget that allows for a grand prize of $50,000 
Additionally, some of the camera shots in the pilot cannot be accounted for by the placement of the one-way mirrors.  A camera operator would have to be inside the pod for some angles.  
Another concern is the sheer number of camera operators this show seems to have in its employment.  There are at presumably at least 9 cameras (one for each actor) but the filming implies multiple cameras per actor, likely numbering 3 per actor, for a total of 27.  For a reality show, that is quite a lot of overhead. 
This show, at least the pilot, is more like a piloshit.

message: "Only two of the nine players quit this challenge, with number 8 (Danielle) being just a mere second behind the eliminated player." Are you sure about that? I would think Fox just edited it to look like they pressed the button at closer times... Then again I could be wrong.

thread_title: Alarm Test in episode 1

message: It would be nice if someone knows just how long each person was actually in those pods it would be a nice piece of information to add to the page. Are we talking days, weeks, or month+.
From what I know of they have a episode a day and so that would be nine days.

thread_title:  Re-introducing detail about S1 eps?  

message: There is someone or some people out there who is/are consistently one-ahead and keeps giving away details to tests and treatments that haven't been released yet. How was I supposed to know who won this week's test without seeing it?
PLEASE. Stop giving away details to episodes that haven't been previewed unless we know it.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Solitarysplash.jpg

message: noted that Survivor has a main page and season by season page on its own, is it viable to split as per Survivor? understand that Survivor has more than 10 seasons already and hence the need for the split. just thinking aloud the possibility for Solitary. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 01:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  seperate page for different seasons? 

message: Why is their a tag asking that someone put in some third party sources? Considering that third party sources are unlikely to get any information other than the information that Fox releases, well, doesn't that defeat the purpose? ~Icalasari  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.64.116.157 (talk) 04:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

message: There's obvious vandalism in the contestant section of 4.0. I don't know how to change it because I haven't seen the episode yet (I have to wait for hulu to get it because I no longer receive Fox Reality). Can someone do that, please? Stjimmy61892 (talk) 20:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Hello. I just skimmed through the article and actually missed any criticism on the series regarding human dignity and so on. As I am neither a native speaker nor have I ever seen the series, I cannot give any comment about this. However, I think there should be some critical thoughts embedded into the article. --91.7.89.217 (talk) 18:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
