I did! I liked it. It was a bit heavy handed, but aren't most pilots?
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, a lot of stage setting going on - I remember thinking that if they can get that out of the way in a few eps and get into real story-telling, it could be worth watching. I do like the lead character. And Drew Carey's transvestite older brother!

It was fun seeing Holland and Ethan though.
Also, as I said in Natter, at first it bugged that a guy from up north would know what the neutral ground is and it made me feel like it was just more "Let's mention voodoo and gumbo" so I was really glad that there actually was a reason for it.

Oh, I see. He wasn't a transvestite in the show, sorry, got confused for a sec.

I liked a lot of the K-ville concept and the actors, but the writing was really wooden, plus I got a little dizzy from all the anvils hitting my head. As you say, though, it is the pilot. The one thing that distracted me was the accents, or the lack thereof. I suppose I'd rather have no accents than gratingly bad Southern accents. I have trouble with The Closer because her accent is so wrong. Still, the accent of people raised in southern Louisiana is quite distinctive. It's really hard to believe that whats-his-face the ex-con could lose his in two years.

Hee. I could tell you thought there was something must more interesting going on than was the actual case.

Isn't it a little hard to believe that he'd escaped from jail, been in the army and left to become a copy in that same timeframe?
