We're getting hammered with thunderstorms right now. That's probably why my reception was so bad.
Does anyone know if TWOP is recapping this?
And Tim, good show and when does the DVD come out?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The nice thing about a rookie lead (meaning rookie agent), she gets to have special talent, be the star, and fuck up ALL THE TIME. 'cause, she would, you know?
And especially after she came in all Ms. Magic Profiler Work All Night girl. She still doesn't necessarily know what she's doing.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It'll be interesting to see what Mel and Danny's deals are.
Don't know about Mel, but Danny appears to be the SWAT guy. He was the one Web had coordinating with the weapons people.

"Don' be e-scared"
Yes, her placid blank thing was a choice. My choice. About 3/4 of this pilot was re-shot. Maybe we'll be able to include the original hour on the DVD (and I'm NOT talking about the 21 Jump Street thing, though I think that should go on the DVD, too), things were very bright, she was cheerful and perky. We backed the hell up. I like that she's all "I'd like to see the body" then almost ralphs on it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Not to mention a rookie agent who (as I understood it) should in no way be an agent at all.

At this point, I wonder that Paul would want to be on the same team after she pointed her weapon at him. That's a serious no no.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
You know what this show reminds me of, more than Se7en, or Silence of the Lambs?
Millennium. Something about Web's character feels like he'd fit in with that universe quite nicely.

Spy on the freaks.
I laughed out loud at "Damn. I got that backward." You gotta love it >when a show can be about a guy who rips off women's faces and hands >and it can still make you laugh.
My thoughts exactly... I about lost it with that line.
I had faith in Tim and I wasn't disappointed. I know that if the show starts out this strongly, it will only get better with time. The icky was not so fun, but not quite as gross as I was expecting based on the reviews. Of course, I'm not there for the horror, I'm there for the characters.
Cool pilot, Tim. Nice to see your name back where it belongs!

"Don' be e-scared"
DX, I actually shot a scene about that, cut for time. Also, I directed it kinda badly.

BTW, does anyone know when/if the pilot ep will repeat?
