Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I love this show. I am kind of disappointed that we aren't seeing any fallout from the thing with Sgt. Gabriel but then, I guess that we didn't see any real interaction.

Oh, I thought that the lack of interaction is the fall out. Did you see the impersonal way that he sat down beside her in the interrogation room ?

Perhaps I'm reading in.

Thrive to spite them

I wasn't really into the case, but I liked Provenza scoring the food and everyone eating it in the observation room. Brenda keeping her arms crossed over her chest after talking to the doctor was a nice touch as well.

Also what exactly is Saving Grace about? I get that she's a cop, gets drunk, kills a guy, and an angel shows up. But then what? Does the angel help her solve cases? The promos are kind of vague and TNT's website only details the pilot and after that it's a blank.

Yeah, I don't get what it's about either. Except that it's got Holly Hunter.

I'll give it a shot. somehow, i think that she hits a guy while drunk, who isn't quite dead, decides to kill him, then sees the light or something, and then is all saved and whatnot?

Okay, I found some more information. She hits the guy, calls out to God who sends an angel and they make Holly Hunter a deal - the accident will be taken away if she changes her embittered ways. She agrees, the accident never happened, and the angel sticks around to make sure that she actually does change her ways and the "unique series" is about her struggle for redemption.

Also her sister died in the Oklahoma City bombing, and besides drinking too much she's having an affair with her married partner.

Always Anti-fascist!

Dude, that's "Rescue Me" with tits. More or less. Don't ya think? Would love it if she has a dirty dream about Mary Magdalene.ETA: that I'll probably try to watch it anyway, but the "unique" thing...might be reaching by a speck.

I like Holly Hunter. If the angel is like the ones in A Life Less Ordinary, that could be an intersting show.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

What drives me nuts about the commercials for Saving Grace is that they use the longest, most drawn out version possible of "Ama-a-a-a-a-a-a-zing Gra-a-a-a-a-a-a-ce" for the soundtrack. Sets my teeth on edge every time I hear it.
