I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's really fun to read w watch-and-post and morning after dissection.

I'm gonna have to rewatch befoer commenting, I think. There was an Amber Alert in the middle and we lost some dialog, and I feel like I missed more than I thought I did..

Web mentioned that it was a tattoo on her shoulder - I think that's when he knew, although it took another few seconds for the penny to drop for me.

The pager wasn't the giveaway, which did make it different from that ER thing (which it also reminded me of) - the pager came after the moment of "oh crap that's HER", and the beeping just sort of brought it home. That's how I saw it anyway.

it worked for me, very effectively.

eta oy, the inevitable xpost of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There wasn't time for them to pull a "page again."

Didn't Web say that when they were still downstairs. Still -- the point remains -- the pager wasn't the reveal -- the setup was the tipoff.

It was predictable for Dana, and although I didn't notice the pager go off (so I didn't associate it with ER), I did get it was her, since team member not in any of the promo pics? She'll be discovered dead before the credits if there's an unidentified corpse in the house. Such is my suspiciousness.

I may have to seize the cat.

I would like to mention that, when they went into the morgue, Rebecca pulled her hair back. I was stupidly pleased by that.

This made me very happy too. I like little, real things like that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Webb tells him 'take care of it' and Conscience guy says something like "I'm on it" - and the look on his face was...interesting.

Sophie, I'm fair certain the line was "take care of her"

Ah. Same reason I don't let people I'm showing the Firefly pilot watch the credits.

Ah. That would change things. Although I kind of liked the possibilities that my version would have left open.

Hmm. I may have to re-watch, just to be sure. What a hardship.

Hey. New board.

"Take care of her, would you?"
"Count on it."

It might be "Watch out for her"

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No. It's definately "take care of", delivered in the sense of, "I must go get the Police-types. Make sure that, if she falls down, she doesn't get a concussion", and received in the sense of "protect her from me."

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Poll-de-episode goodness: [link]

One thing I have noticed: of those people who've filtered thru to TI's forums from search engines, all have been well grammared, well spelt, thoughtfully opinioned etc. I'm waiting for the best fans evah.

Looks like it picked up the intelligent viewers. Which is this years non-surprise.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Rob Kral really brings it. I am so pleased.

Absolutely. When I was watching the episode I didn't remember who was doing the score. During the scene where Rebecca is sitting at her desk after staying at the office the entire night, the music sounded like a mix of the music from "Home" (Angel) & "The Message (Firefly). I was very pleased.

As for the acting and the show, the pilot has kept my interest but it has to keep it - I'm not sure I'm a die-hard fan yet. I don't watch this kind of show very often so it will be interesting to see where the storylines lead and how the characters develop.

Congratulations Tim!
