I thought there was a lot of room for improvement, Tom, though I think I still liked it more than you seem to have. I want to see how things progress in the series and if things gel better than they did in the pilot.

And I'm not quite sure why Matt Frewer needed to have an accent.

I think that they were trying to do a Crocodile Hunter thing. It didn't work for me. Probably because I HATE HATE HATE the crocodile hunter. I was so excited when I saw his name in the credits, and so disappointed in the character.

The only thing is that the promo makes it look like they are bringing in someone else to run the facility for future episodes, so I don't know if he'll still be around.

trying to raise the sexual tension between colin and sallie, I suspect.

So many good geeky actors in the cast.

Oh, YES. I love Tony

I gotta say that I'm not crazy about the random subplot of Something Evil in Eureka.

Oh, no; I think a lot of the comedy was telegraphed and overplayed. And occasionally pony express-ed. But like I said, all the clunkiness seemed like pilot clunkiness. The stuff that happens when you're trying to sell something to a network and an audience simultaneously.

They have to have an arc about something. Actually, it's probably just as well, because I was already getting a bit tired of the world's best psychotherapist. And I'd already assumed she drugged the Marshall when he fell asleep on her, so I wasn't a bit surprised when she killed whiny wife.

Ep3 is so much better. Really.

(And hoo boy, if you thought this was piloty, just wait for Heroes. They take expository pilotspeak to a whole new level. But then some really cool things happen in the last couple of minutes, so it ends up being okay.)

why? why can't it just be episodic television?

yeah, she had to keep him from asking who "they" were.

Jessica, whenever you're around - was the BSG teaser one of the one's you saw at the presentation?

Don't know - I didn't watch last night.

I thought that Matt Frewer was being wasted. I was hoping he would be a scientist more like his "Doctor Doctor" character.

I thought I was the only one who ever saw "Doctor Doctor"! I too hoped he would be more like that guy. Oh, well, maybe they'll go for more character development and less quirk in future eps.

I did enjoy Joe Morton, who I've always been a big fan of and have wondered why he's never taken off as a big star. He's much more fun to watch than just about anyone else in the show, except that Colin does have great potential, if they write better stuff for his character (that tired "workaholic dad with rebellious daughter" schtick is just too cliche, iMO).

I'm definitely going to track down that BSG promo again and watch it in slo-mo.

I'd love to see Matt Frewer being more Edison Carter and less crazy person. I am unreasonably fond of anyone who was on Max Headroom.
