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.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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?

tends to use overly long sentences
Does anyone know if TWOP is recapping this?
No TWOP recap. Too busy with Britney and Kevin, I guess. Not that I'm bitter.
On the RN thing, I was expecting a much worse performance with all the ex-model talk, so that was a pleasant surprise. I thought she did fine. I don't think we're supposed to get much about her just yet.

"Don' be e-scared"
DX, it was this:
WEB: (off monitor) He’s got her underground. Danny, prep your tactical team.
DANNY: Already done. Been standing by.
WEB: Good. Have LAPD set up a perimeter. No one goes in until you get there -- (to Rebecca) Bring me back a bad guy.
She’s just been waiting to know if she’s in this. She nods, is off. Everyone is on the move. Paul grabs Web by the arm, a private-ish moment:
PAUL: She’s not ready. She doesn’t have street experience --
WEB: She’s about to get some.
PAUL: (weighs it, then:) She pulled her gun on me today.
WEB: Then you should watch her carefully. And make sure she’s pointing it in the right direction.
And he’s gone. Off Paul, unhappy --

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
DX, I actually shot a scene about that, cut for time. Also, I directed it kinda badly.
Did it come before or after Paul knew Web approved Rebecca despite (ok, because of) her history?
ETA: Got it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The best characters, in my opinion, unfold as the shows progress.

Because books.
Loved it! And for all the Silence of the Lambs and Se7en comparisons, I also got a House vibe off it, with Web as the kind of rogue commander who hand-picks his team. I love House, so yay.
Everyone was great -- I've always liked Peter Coyote, and the guy playing Paul was just right. A conscience without dripping it all over everyone, and a real willingness to step outside the norm and give the new kid a chance. I thought Rachel Nichols did a great job, too -- her tension was palpable. And that scene in the girl's bedroom when she flashes back -- yipes. Definitely a jump-off-the-couch moment.
Got the DH to watch with me, and he was really impressed -- he's always predicting what will happen no matter what we watch, and he was shocked that Web was setting Rebecca up at the end. So, go Tim!
Very very happy over here -- a new show to love, and during summer rerun season. And Tim! All over those credits. Great job, man.
