OMG hated the song over the credits. Sorry, Tim, but it's just wrong for the pace and the energy level of the show.

Yeah, that was close to Enterprise levels of bad. (Which means by next week I'll adore it and be wondering who replaced my taste in music with Folger's Crystals because that's just how my brain works sometimes. Bad brain! No biscuit!)

Also, the credits themselves were kinda spoilery -- Dylan Baker was conspicuously absent and then mentioned as a guest star before his illness was revealed. Tsk tsk!

I watched with a fannish pal, and as soon as we got the flashback she figured out that that was Corinna's backstory, which was awesome. Hence the stowaway and the lying and everything. I'm sure she's got more going on, but I like her motives.

DH and I guessed she was Flashback Girl too, which made the rest of the lead-up to her revealing it to NF a little frustrating -- once it became clear that she was going to spill it by the end of the ep, I just wanted her to get it over with already so they could become partners and move on with the rest of the show.

I saw that Tully stole Alan's car, but later he was driving in the truck again. How did this happen?

I *loved* that moment when the car stalled! It was totally Angel jumping into the wrong car in "City Of."

TAR would be more interesting with a body count.

CBS used to agree with you -- in season 4 or 5, they had the contestants swimming under an ice-floe covered river, retrieving clues from shark-filled aquariums, and driving (almost) into North Korea. I was sure someone wasn't going to make it. But lately they've gotten more cautious.

I think my favorite line was "I don't know!...I missed orientation." (Another very Angel-esque moment, that.)

The special effectness of the title sequence totally doesn't work for me. It's not seamless special effects -- it's completely and utter obvious show VFX and makes it plainly obvious they're special effects happy.

The song is catchy... But not at all what I expected.

Yeah, there were a bunch of Angelesque moments that had me giggling. Also the "I seriously doubt that" remark.

Kristen Lehman reminds me a little too much of Elizabeth Rohm for me to really warm up to her yet.

I decided she reminds me of the woman from Profiler, so I'm hoping she doesn't do the wide eyes, slightly open mouth thing too much.

That's who I was thinking she was at first, but she had too much personality, so I realized she must be someone else.

Yes!

Maybe they're making him up to look more frail due to his illness, but I'm surprised to learn that Dylan Baker is only 47.

I loved the "I missed orientation" line (because I so totally would), but I'm also harboring a secret dream that they told everyone that they just missed orientation, and they'll have to figure it out as they go.

Plus, I want my text messages to be that readable.

overall verdict: Watched it for the Tim-n-Kristen, staying for the LOVE!

Yeah, that was good times. I'm psyched. I'm kind of with Dana on being all set with car races, but I figure like the fights in Buffy, that's the part where I can pay less attention.

I like Los Bros Salazar a whole lot. Too many blondes for me to tell them apart, though.

I NEED THE NIELSEN DATA RIGHT NOW.
