You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

What is even happening?

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

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

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

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I NEED THE NIELSEN DATA RIGHT NOW.

As sympathetic as Alex is, I have to agree that I think I'll be rooting for Violet or K. Callan's characters to win.

The one thing that bothers me is Amy Acker playing the helpless victim and hostage. I hope she picks up some agency and works against her captors rather than just screaming "Help, save me!" from the train tracks she's tied to in every episode.

Or, y'know, she could turn blue and throw Paul Ben Victor's truck at him.

I'm hoping that she is secretly one of the people behind the race.

ooh I like!

I also wasn't crazy about the theme. But I loved the use of music through the rest of the show.
