Those are the 2 things I wanted to watch last night but did not have the energy to do so. (both mental and physical) I'm hoping to catch them at some point in the near future.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

I watched Vanished just because it's set in Atlanta. There were some false Atlanta notes, mostly in the form of wrong pronounciations, and it's unlikely that one of the characters would be living in Chamblee, which is not pronounced like it's a town in France. I think it's trying to be "24" meets "The DaVinci Code," but the characters are not particularly compelling so far and about half the scenes were so dark that the people were just ghostly forms on my screen. Still, it's probably not fair to judge anything on the first episode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I watched it too, Ginger. So far, it's notable for criminally wasting its lead actors, especially Gale Harold. I plan to give it another episode, but it better become a lot less predictable.

Hey, I thought that Bourdain didn't actually do the Beirut thing.
Huh.
If Sophia moves to Alaska we must F2F there -- wouldn't that be fun? Okay, pricey.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
but the characters are not particularly compelling so far
Most of the characters are suspects, which means that they will have to remain cyphers for most of the season.

I love Gale Harold but I have grown weary of the angry, tormented, "I'm right and the rest of the world is wrong" law enforcement officer character. Maybe it will get better. Or maybe Kidnapped will be better.

I did enjoy envisioning Brian Kinney as the FBI agent, though. He'd have cornered the senator in a bathroom, fucked him, and rolled his eyes at everyone else's histrionics.

Does the role allow him to sneer at everyone as if they were something scraped off his shoe? That is his strong suit.

That's a good point, but right now everyone seems to be slotted into cliches: the Senator's beautiful and rebellious daughter; the cartoonishly ambitious reporter; the FBI agent who was traumatized by a previous assignment.

Matt, he does do a lot of sneering. Which is awesome.
I'll probably keep watching for that alone.
