Cindy, did my review of the pilot script not give you enough of a feel? I haven't seen the unaired pilot, but I get the sense that it's a very fast-paced show where things are always at risk for the characters because they're always rushing to the next checkpoint, but while the present action is moving along at a brisk pace, the audience has the secondary journey of learning why each character is racing, be it voluntary or not, and what's really going on behind the scenes of the Race.
I think
Lost
meets
The Amazing Race
is a pretty accurate way of describing the general sense/feel of the show. Although it's more
The Amazing Race
meets
Lost.
Could we be ....
Carrot-eaters?
Cu...
Watch your mouth! You've got children. Leave the swearing to me. I've had practice.

I didn't read it, either because I thought the show was getting picked up soon, and didn't want to be spoiled, or because I didn't think the show was getting picked up soon, and thought I would forget. It's also possible I did read it, and did forget. Hmmmm.
I pity the people who don't know Tim's reputation, and don't realize the risk is a real one.

Sadly, I have too. Three times today, I said something was a 'pain in balls'. That's not generally one of my preferred expletives, so I'm not sure where it came from -- except [whatever it was] really was a pain.
Meanwhile, Scott's so freaked out by the Pats game, he just said he's looking forward to tonight's
24,
so he can
relax.
And he doesn't even groove on whispering Jack Bauer, in quite the same way I do.
I don't think.
Apparently I did read it, and liked it, P-C, as I commented twice. I'm too tired to read it again, right now. I was hoping for instant gratification, in this thread.
I just saw a Drive promo during 24!!!
Just now!
Awesome.
"People die in this race. Sometimes because of it." (Or something like that.)
It's a Tim show. Of
course
people die! And now he has Kristen for extra special death.
(But yeah...good hook.)
Or, possibly a paraphrase of one...
Maybe they'll show another promo so I can confirm.
It was very quick cuts, characters talking over action shots of, well, cars. Action-y.
