I have seen all kind of TV shows and movies. I can say the pretender is the best TV show out of all of them.
They should get new episodes like a spin off show or at lest a 3rd movie. But i think both a new movie and a spin off show would be the best thing they could do.
TNT did Premiere 2 pretender Movies how ever they did not wrap up the story lines and the movies were more like top episodes of the show then a big movie. So i hope if they make an other movie it would be bigger like they did with the 1st x files movie and the new star trek one.
Well i went on the internet and look up the pretender and i found a few sites. One of them i found was www.gopetition.com.au It is a petition site and i found one for (A third The Pretender movie, New episodes or a Pretender Mini Series). So i put my name on it. At this time it has a few Signatures on it.

I am a fan of the series and watched this special TV-movie with anticipation many of the Centre's secrets would be answered. Some were but there were also many unanswered questions. Part of the problem lay with numerous and simultaneous subplots. I got the sense there were more scenes that were cut out of the final production due to time restraints. I am now curious for the next installment.
I thought this was an excellent continuation of the Pretender series. I loved the mystery of the TV series, and was super excited when they continued it with the movies. This installment, however, left so many unanswered questions, that I found myself repeatedly screaming at the TV to hurry up and tell me what the hell was going on. I would sum up for you what the movie was about, but I'm still trying to figure out all the intimate details myself. On the other hand, I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! This is some of the best writing ever, and like the first installment, Pretender 2001, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and kept me guessing (and gets better with the 2nd viewing). There are so many things that go into the mythology of the series and the characters, that you can't sum it up in just a few sentences. If you enjoy movies with clever writing, interesting and complicated characters and storylines, this is the show for you (as it is for me). I'm sure the 2nd time I watch it (or the 3rd, 4th...etc) the true brilliance of the writing will astound me, as the series and the first movie did.
If you are just coming into the movies, I suggest watching a couple of episodes of the series (TNT) to get a true feel for the character and story dynamic. You will truly appreciate it.

I waited a long time to see this installment of the Pretender saga, and it was well worth the wait. Jarod and Miss Parker give good performances, although Miss Parker gets a bit over the top when finding out each new revelation about her family's past. Jarod's continued attempts to break Miss Parker's mindset and show her that she too is being used by the Centre really expands the possibilities of where the show could go in the future. And Jarod being so close, yet missing his mother once again, along with his agony in a rare moment of weakness was probably the most angst-ridden moment of the movie. You really feel for his character at that point.
At the end, there are some interesting revelations. But I'll leave that to you for your viewing pleasure.
If there were any disappointments in this movie, it's that the Centre cast (aka Sydney, Broots, Raines, Lyle, etc.) got little screen time, the story focused on Jarod and Miss Parker. Yet, if you have watched the original series, you get the sense it worked better this way.
Any Pretender fan will enjoy the movie, and if you haven't watched the show, this should get your juices flowing.

What can I say, but LOOOVVVEED IT! This movie was sooooooo FANTASTIC! It surpases the other movie by far. More interesting plots and more chemistry! WAHOOOOO! IT WAS FANTASTIC! oooh, I already said that.
ANyway, as usual, Mrs Parker is chasing Jarod again, but on this island. I've been a fan of this show since it first started and was later cancled on television. All the actors/actresses on the show have the best chemistry that I've seen since "The X-Files"!!! The previews got me soooooo excited about seeing this one too! We all know that Mrs Parker and Jarod have the most chemistry. I bet she enjoys chasing him as much as he enjoys being chased. Mr Raines, Mr Lyle, and Mr Parker were their usual weird and creepy selves, but they're just as awesome and fantastic. Broots, Sydney, and Angelo were also just as great as ever. THIS IS THE BEST ENSEMBLE CAST TO DATE! (since the xfiles of course).
It was MR LYLE that surprised me the most. As for that "kiss", you just have to see this movie for yourself to find out. Michael T Weiss, Andrea Parker, and the others are the best of the best! MORE MOVIES TO COME! PLEASE! CONTINUE ON WITH "THE PRETENDER"!!! Who will know if this show and movies of the show will *ever* end. The more the merrier.
I ALWAYS looked forward to Mrs Parker chasing Jarod. There is also humor, horror, and all the other elements that make this movie THE MOVIE TO WATCH! YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DID!
