Oh, and I cheered at the gothlings in the background at the final victim's apartment. Yes, I am that shallow.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
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.
I think it will take me a couple episodes to see something other than CSM and Xander Harris fight for Dawnie's soul.
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.

"by the way, east coasters -- now that you've seen it, doesn't all this hand wringing by the MSM critics about the gore seem a bit overwrought? "
Yes, Just finished watching it for the 3rd time while catching up on the posts here. Not that gory to me, but maybe I'm over-exposed to gore. Of course all the "far to gory" likely worked as the proverbial accident that people just have to look at.
Loved the whole thing. I am looking forward to more Adam and Katie time. And computer/tech guy, very fun, could do with more of him too.
The deleted scene you posted, going to DVD? And the original "jump street" -esque ep would be hilarious after 13 eps of this.
I also saw a lot of Amber Benson in Rebecca in several shots there, Amber couold easily play a "related" character.
Good, Good stuff. All in. -JadeHand

Ok, I'm hooked. And I get two toasters. The friends I invited over (since they don't have cable and don't get Fox) gently suggested on the way out that this maybe should become a weekly thing. I think one of them liked it even better than I did. I am not as much into the type of show this is as I was with the rest of the Tim and/or Joss verses. But already I love the characters and the writing. Even with those who didn't get as much air time, I see hints that I long to see develop.
she was giving me an Amber Benson vibe
I can totally see this.
I didn't see Sharon or Jayne throughout. I sure liked it when Danny loosened up towards the end. He was so much more in his element.
I've got to say, though, that the lead-in sucks. I mean, a sitcom is bad enough, but to have such a bad sitcom for the lead-in is depressing.

Damn you Tim. I did not need a another show to add to my viewing. That is another hour a week of my life gone.
However I'm going to make a prediction - just based on gut feeling. This is not just a good show (though it is that). This is a commericial success, big time. Someone is going make a boatload of money off this show; don't know how contracts for people in your position are written so I'm not predicting who, but someone is going to get really really rich. (or richer).

Damn. With the company, I forgot to tape for rewatches. I just have to say that this had better do well enough for reruns.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Cool show. I'm looking forward to more.
On the gore factor... the idea of what was done to the victims was much worse than the bit of visuals we got. I agree that CSI has considerably more ick.
"Damn, did that backwards."
I didn't laugh at the line, but I did think "woah, he is one scary dude." Not someone I'd ever want to meet IRL, but I'm fascinated by the character.
