the counselor was too freaked by the Tommy/ Janet backstory. Well, first he thought it was counselor humor...

They should just name the kid after Johnny, get a dna test and be done with it.

Yeah, I know...they are belaboring that point too much. It has been good this season otherwise. Hard keeping up with all of Colleen's phases, though(Which, as her mother says, makes her very much a Gavin)

Oh - I caught Kill Point last night. Pretty good, which it would kind of have to be with those actors. Good action, plenty of tense moments. (I'm blocking out the speechifying in the middle.) But I'm not sure I see how they keep this going as a series.

I am intrigued by Kill Point because of its stars, but I too wonder how they can sustain that.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
SA, can you believe that Tommy can't recognize depression when he sees it? And didn't they go to a counselor? Shouldn't the counselor have realized that something was up?
The counselor, like, laughed them out of the office. It was one of those tragi-comic moments. Tommy, though, is so damn self-centered he wouldn't recognize anything even if it slapped him in the face.

I will say that it tickled me that Glenn Close's husband was played by Michael Nouri because he is such a tv drama guy and she is a Movie Star.
LOVED this.

Thrive to spite them
I think The Kill Point is only a miniseries, I found this press release on the Futon Critic ( [link] that describes it as a "eight hour dramatic event" and the pilot was 2 hours so I guess there are only 6 more hours of the show.
If it's successful maybe Spike TV could do bring back Donnie Wahlberg's character and have another "dramatic event" with a different scenario.
I'm glad I recorded it so I could fast forward through all those relentless "Spike TV is for MEN! MEN! Manly Men, I tell you! Look! Boobs! And fights! Manly Men watch Spike!"

Gotcha. That sounds a lot better - I'll definitely keep watching then.
