hee. I wanted them to find the Alias secret offices .
The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[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.
I'm not quite sure if this needs to be whitefonted or not, but to be on the safe side. The man that Rebecca sees in the mirror. Do I spy 'Paul Millander' from CSI fame!?
I gotta ride the damn thing every. day. I think that was the Vermont/Beverly stop.
Why are we whitefonting? Hell, we were blackfonting after the East coast airing. I'm not sure how NAFDA works for this show in this thread.
I think it will take me a couple episodes to see something other than CSM and Xander Harris fight for Dawnie's soul. Didn't see Sharon or Jayne, though
Of course, it also took me more than 1 viewing to figure out that the guy was the guy in the control room.
I'm in. Though I was a bit skeptical of the vic having her own apartment that big in Silver Lake.
And I was kicking myself for not remembering the bit about the Subway going "directly" to LAX, having taken the subway from LAX.
Just remember, I'm not sure why, but when Rebecca was all tarted up as bait, she was giving me an Amber Benson vibe, which is odd because I normally don't visualize AB that way considering I've only seen her as Tara (and walking past her about 30' away at a Con.)
Didn't see Sharon or Jayne, though
The only time I saw Jayne was in the delivery of the line, "She was a head case?" which had the same rythym and sense of "Huh?" as, "She's in Congress?" But there's no way I would've noticed that if not for the obsessive FF viewing. The character didn't remind me of Jayne; just that one bit of delivery. And Sharon? Not a whit.
Good show. Goooooood show. I didn't think it was too gory (but then again, I have a high squick level). I liked all the lines everyone else did, and giggled at the Allyson shout-out.

Pete & I had the same reaction.
Oh, and I cheered at the gothlings in the background at the final victim's apartment. Yes, I am that shallow.
I was curious about the gore factor because after all it's network TV how bad could that be? It turned out to be a non starter. I was more interested in the character interaction than the solving of the crime. And Rachel Nichols is super hott (two t's worthy.)
I kind of wish they did they had a "24" like chronology where they had three episode arcs which would be equivalent to a week's worth of real time. It seems a little off that the "heinous" crimes would be so frequent.
Since NYPD Blue went off the air I've needed to fill my 1 cop show quota and I think this will be it.

CSM! I totally get that. I've seen Web compared to Alias' Sloane as well. It's like the bad guy who gets to be bad because he's on the right side of the law. Works for me.
