I enjoyed it. I'm not raving crazy about it yet, but I enjoyed it yet. Right now, I'm getting "X-Files meets Profiler meets CSI," so I'm happily waiting for the show to distinguish itself.
The one moment when I wanted to throw something at the TV? "She needs a makeover. Mel?" (or whatever the line was). Yes, clearly as the only other woman on the team, she's the one qualified to go pick out that really cute top that will make Rebecca look like a victim! Grrrrr.
I like Paul right now. I thought the "conscience" bit in the elevator was delivered and shot well. Webb is quite the bastard. I'm waiting for more information on Mel and Danny (still hate the name "Danny Love"), and I'm afraid I'm never going to be able to listen to Adam Baldwin and hear anyone but Jayne.
I was prepared to have my biggest problems with...Rachel Nichols? is that correct? She just didn't grab me in still photos, but I liked her performance quite a lot, especially in the scene that Jon mentioned, where she kept her eyes averted during her first conversation with Webb.
But what really cheered my heart? All the little Tim touches. Every time there was a line that I could hear and think, "No one could write that but Tim." That part was cool.
Here's my issue with the bit at the end where Web shoots the guy: if this were Firefly, I'd be all over it. But this is supposed to be the mundane world, not 500-years-in-the-future. You can't pull that shit now and get away with it, and if you do, the label you get isn't "efficient", it's "corrupt", and "steamrolling over civil rights". You do that stuff, they call you "The Oakland Riders" and put you on trial for human rights/criminal procedure violations.
Web made me laugh, but he didn't make me like him. Which is what happened when Mal shot that guy in The Train Job.
Does that make any sense?
My favorite part was when she said, "The fourth victim, Allyson Beatrice."
I'm unsure how physically she could continue to hold the knife even in that state
That's my issue. I don't have a problem with the psychology of it, but that kind of precision's gonna be difficult for anyone not a surgeon even with all nerve endings intact. Plus, slippery.

Hey, that was one of my favorite parts too.

What makes you think it'll be dropped?
I keep seeing stuff like that, and I wonder why folks think their questions won't be addressed.
makes Total sense Consuela. Exactly what I couldn't put into coherent words last night when cutiehead Mal was maligned. issues.
Allyson, ok if I just call you #4 now?
Okay, it's Web, short for Webster, right? Not Webb? Cause seeing it both ways is already starting to bug. (cf. Lily, Leanne, Lynne)

What makes you think I thought it would?
IJS, I liked it but at the same time, it bothered me about the character.
Web made me laugh, but he didn't make me like him. Which is what happened when Mal shot that guy in The Train Job.
Yup. Web is supposed to represent the law. Instead, he murdered a suspect. There's no excuse for that. If he resists, then you can shoot him. Rebecca ought to turn him in to Internal Affairs, or whatever the FBI equivalent is.
