There goes the Space Needle. And the Golden Gate Bridge. And who knows how many cardboard characters. NBC's 10.5 (5/2 and 5/3, 9 pm/ET) is the most cornball earthquake TV-movie since NBC's The Big One: The Great Los Angeles Earthquake back in 1990. (What, is the network out of new ideas?) "Outrageous is all that we have left," says President Beau Bridges as he weighs seismic expert Kim Delaney's explosive solution to an approaching temblor that could take out the California coastline. Shamelessly stealing 24's split-screen trademark, 10.5 only musters a fraction of that thriller's suspense, despite a speedy pace and passable effects.
