DX, I actually shot a scene about that, cut for time. Also, I directed it kinda badly.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Love seeing Baldwin and Finnernan again. I like conscience guy an awful lot, and I'll learn to like Rebecca, I'm sure. Right now she's generic tall blonde ingenue.
My reaction was just the opposite. Rachael was the one unknown quantity to me (well, intellectually I knew she'd be really good since she wowed Tim, but I had no way to feel it until airtime) and came off quite well. And I really really like what both Coyote and Jay Herrington are doing. But AB rubbed me wrong in a way that wasn't entertaining, unlike all his other gruff or hostile characters that I've liked. And Katie—who I lovedlovedloved in Wonderfalls—was a cypher to me on first viewing. Overall I enjoyed the show a lot, but I'm surprised that I'm not yet feeling the two performers I was most sure of going in.

Ah, that's a nice scene. Too bad it had to go. (heh, fun with formatting)
