I'm not a lurker, and I wouldn't say I'm sold, but I'll certainly check out the 1st episode or two and then fall in love or not.

I'd be checking it out for 1) Tim 2)It's not one of those horrid sitcoms I can't stand 3)It's not one of those whiney family dramas I can't stand.

And by all I mean two.

Hey! LURKERS! You there. Come on out and tell me if you're convinced.

Well, I was convinced anyway because it's Tim, but yes, between your writeups and the screenshots Kristen posted (mucho gracias, Kristen--I never watch TV anymore so I missed the promo), I'm now completely convinced and excited. "Home" was one of my favorite X-files episodes. Definitely the kind that stays with you--there's many eps I've forgotten but as soon as you said the title I knew which one you were talking about. Creepiness is good. I also love Rebecca's backstory--sounds like there's a lot of meat there to work with. I've already been pimping it to my friends, but I'll up my pimping level.

I think he's the first person who's been able to manipulate her since she was a little kid, and that causes her to trip a little, in surprise.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Web was somehow involved in Rebecca's kidnapping case? Hmm...

I'm with Heather. Minear's involvement is good enough to get me to watch the show, but I can't make any commitments about how I'll like it.

For what it's worth, I didn't much care for Wonderfalls when it was on tv, but I liked the whole run on DVD. I could say the same about Firefly. I wanted to like it more than I did during the tv run, but the episodes had problems that went down easier when watching the entire run, in order, on DVD.

Rachel, Adam, Peter, Katie, Jay + Nelsan Ellis?

Is the new cast member present from the beginning or was he added later on in the season?

Still no date, huh?

Home was a creepy, creepy episode, but Donnie Pfaster was the one who kept me awake.

Most of the descriptions have made me think of sort of a cross between Profiler (pretty!) and Millennium (sans all the religion stuff). But I loved that Millennium was so dark precisely because the evil was human.

I figure Tim and Jane are two of my three favorite television writers, and I love Katie Finneran's work as well as really liking Coyote's and Baldwin's, so odds are it'll sit really well with me. But I can't guarantee I'll love it—on paper Alias should have been my favorite non-Mutant Enemy show and it inexplicably left me cold.

I do feel enough loyalty to those involved that they've got me as a viewer for at least a full season, minimum.

+ Nelsan Ellis?

It's too bad they didn't light him from the same direction as the others. It would've made the manip a little less obvious.

I was just talking to a total non-fan of anything we talk about here and she mentioned Peter Coyote. I told her he was going to be on a new show on FOX and she sounded intrigued. Just doing my part....
