That was fun. I applauded for Allyson. Hee.

I'm really liking Paul

Per my usual gift, I think he needs to shut up. Though the actor reminds me of Adrian Pasdar in some shots.

Does anyone know if TWOP is recapping this?

We're not. Tim's been paroled.

"Don' be e-scared"

Matt, don't blame Adam and Katie, for the first few eps I felt it was key to hammer home the central relationship of the show, which is a triangle. So Adam and Katie twist a little bit.

Thrive to spite them

I feel kind of conflicted about this. I like it, or well, most of it. I don't like Web and not in the love to hate him but in the die die die get rid of him way.

Granted it's one episode, but that's my gut reaction.

I'll definitly watch again, but, I'm not 100% sold on it.

Also, I didn't like the "Got it backwards" line that much -- it's a great line -- but I have such a strong dislike for Web that my initial reaction was "omigod what an arrogant prick -- aren't there rules against that?"

but I'm surprised that I'm not yet feeling the two performers I was most sure of going in.

Same here, Matt. Katie just didn't get much screen time and all her lines seemed to set someone else up without really making her noticable. AB seemed stiff and I didn't get why Danny Love seemed to have such a chip on his shoulder. I'm hoping things get revealed about both of them soon.

This was great. Be proud, Tim! Those mean critics were wrong on this.

I love Peter Coyote.
I love Katie Finneran.
I love Adam Baldwin.
I like Rachel Nichols. The rest of the cast still has time to prove themselves, of course, but I thought Jay Harrington and Nelsan Ellis needed to be a bit more subtle. Carter's introduction was way too brief, and I really looking forward to seeing some character development with Mel & Danny.

There was plenty of exciting plot twists and great dialogue, as I expected, and I loved how the show was much more about the characters than the murder mystery. I loved the noir-y cinematography, too. This wasn't a brilliant start, but it was a very good one.

I'm excited for next Wednesday now.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

that line you mentioned, P-C? yeah...i didn't like it either.

i'm actually pretty sold on the Rebecca character. i would assume that her kidnapping experience has made her very closed off and that is exactly what i got from her.

will reserve judgement on Mel and Danny. we didn't get enough of them in this ep for me to form an opinion.

Oh, I did really like Rebecca talking her way through the vic's house. I thought it would feel forced, but it was very natural.

Mostly I don't like Peter Coyote's character and I'm meh about him as an actor so that's kind of sucking some of energy out of the show for me.

Damn you!!

Also, I didn't like the "Got it backwards" line that much -- it's a great line -- but I have such a strong dislike for Web that my initial reaction was "omigod what an arrogant prick -- aren't there rules against that?"

Well, he's clearly above the rules if he picks and drops his cases when he can. I think my initial reaction was "That's funny and she's safe, whew."

I guess I'm just so happy to see them in a show, I want it to be all. about. them. Heh. I can wait.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

See, I love an interesting "bad" guy. (It's the only reason I hang on to watching Deadwood). I want to know more.

my initial reaction was "omigod what an arrogant prick -- aren't there rules against that?"

It wasn't a laugh out loud line for me but I loved it. For me, it was "Awesome, he's an arrogant prick because there are totally rules against that!"
