Whoo! Man, I miss being a West Coaster with East Coast channels. So I could watch with the East and then watch again with the West.

Still liking it, still having fun. I love how all the characters have their buckle-down, drop-the-facade personas at beck and call.

I'll give Tim some time to develop character before I start talking feminism. You hear that, close to the earth boy?

Even realizing what the deal was at the end, it was still shocking to me to see the back of the set that was the interrogation room. Wish that actor had been a little better; I thought the transition could have been more subtly done.

I lay you money that Winston's backstory isn't what he claims it to be, either. I bet the brothers are more alike than Sean thinks they are.

Love the show.

Love it.

Hung-up-on-my-sister-in-the-middle-of-good-gossip-covered-in-chocolate love it.

re: landscape. There was nothing that could be done to clean it up, at least not in budget and time. I wanted to slap the director around, myself. I mean, dude, you could have shot in the opposite direction and made it all better.

But you know, what the fuck do I know? Right?

I'm mostly angry at the ratings, because I just don't understand. I'm unsure how much of my anger is influenced by bias, but I think it ticked up significantly around the posts where folks said they were enjoying the show with their whole families.

I only know what happens up to 106, but it's been a squeally joy to read the comments and think, "YOU GOT IT!" And, "Wow, you're totally fucking off. Like, you're mountains in Florida off."

And giggle. Seriously, I'm upset that the ratings are so low, because it's a given that those of you in like with it, will be in love with it later. There's all sorts of cool shit coming up, and I think Minear has laid some stones one way, and some birdseed the other, and we're all a bunch of Hansels and Gretyls who will find HSQ in either direction.

It's either, "Oh shit, he went there!"

Or, "Oh shit, I had no idea he was gonna go there!"

I hate having to be vague.

I think Mr. Closer to the Earth laid some birdseed in the Earth direction, though, and that path will get gobbled up before anyone tears their hair out.

And no one ascends. This I can say with some certainty.

Vague spoilers which make me hope that someone at Fox allows it all to play out: The pacing keeps up. Winston gets sexier. Corinna rocks. Alex gets Dark Wesleyer. Twists snap your neck.

And it's still funny.

It's such a double-edged sword with the knowing. I miss speculating with the post and watchers. And I want to tell you everything! Because it's made of awesome!

Gah. Please let the Nielsen's tick up to explosive levels. Please.

OMG! I liked the show yesterday, but I am truly in love tonight. I can't wait for next week. I'm falling more and more in love with the characters. I think that Wendy and Winston grew on me the most tonight. Nathan Fillion is it for me, though. Watching him feels almost like having Firefly back. That sounds horrible. It's not having Firefly back, exactly. It's more that I'm starting to think that I'm going to feel about this show like I feel about Firefly. Which makes me weep.

I really thought the ratings would be better for this one. I really did. I just hope, hope, hope that they're better tonight. I hope that millions of people TiVoed last night while watching TAR, and tonight they've caught up and are watching live. PLEASE.

Allyson's post wasn't there when I posted.

Make that PLEASE, P L E E E E A S E ! ! ! !

Good. I trust. Okay, admittedly I have trust issues, too, but I trust.

I'm with Liese.

I did enjoy that. Nice twists, although I never really believed that Alex wasn't the getaway driver.

I'm a bit bored by the GI and his wife, though: neither of them are particularly intriguing or compelling to me. Although she's definitely the worse of them: I don't care how much you love your husband, you don't put him at risk of court-martial for going AWOL because you don't like what he does for a living. Which is basically what it comes down to, here. Marriages are partnerships, and you don't get to make his decisions for him. (This goes both ways, of course, but we have no evidence he's done the same to her, so.)

I'm still not sold on Sean Salazar, but I like Winston, despite his unfortunate name. And I appreciate the value he puts on his car. (Being a Supernatural fan, and all. *grin*)

Pity about the scenery, but I hope I can squint past it. ::handwaves::

They still really really need a new credit sequence and better theme.

That look at the end was priceless. I want a screencap. And to spend a night in a motel with Alex Tully.

Unsurprisingly, I am one with Vortex in this sentiment. Hell, if you don't want to share, we can take turns.

Throwing honesty onto the table, I was prepared not to like the show. Even knowing the creative geniuses who are behind it. I didn't want another Lost, and I didn't want The Fast and the Furious. Thank you to whoever sacrificed a family member so we didn't get what I feared.

This is good. Really good. We're getting early character development, and the exposition's hidden behind the mountains of Florida (seriously, that's the only thing that bugged). There is good HSQ potential, there's snark (secret cabal, anyone?), and the pace makes me feel like I'm on the Bonneville Salt Flats trying to set a new land speed record.

Favorites so far: Tully, the Salazar brothers, and Vi and her father. I love Melanie Lynskey, but I'm not quite there with her character. It would be easy to turn Wendy into a caricature, and I'm not convinced she won't...yet. I am quite sure that NO ONE is as they seem. This is a good thing, because the GI's wife currently makes me long for Saint!Cordy.

So, yeah. I'm along for the ride. Roll down the windows.

Drive is also on sale at ummm Direct2Drive (yes I thought it was kinda neat too).

And Sean clearly isn't the candy ass he seemed at first, either. "Get here in 45 minutes or there's going to be a problem" -- and the guy gets in the chopper.
