I've read a few reviews of it, and the consensus seems to be paper thin plotlines that are extremely forgettable, but Fillion does a good job with the part he's got. Also, it seems that they're going for an update of Moonlighting.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

There's a preview available on ABC.com. I watched it. The actress who plays the cop is . . . not good. She was picked for her looks (pretty, but not too pretty). She doesn't have the gravitas to pull of the hard boiled cop thing. They would have been better off casting someone like Angie Harmon, but she was probably a little bitter after Women's Murder Club.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
As bitter as the people who watched the show?

Well, she was actually getting paid, so I'd say yeah. I liked the show a lot. It was one of the ones that really suffered from the strike.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I actually was entertained by WMC and was a completely different show after the strike.

Shiny green apples, America?
I like the female lead, too. She's tough and insecure and smart and vulnerable and flirty. Great facial expressions, too. And Nathan is so damned cute! This might very well be a perfect role for him.

Anyone know what the song was that was playing at the end of House tonight?
I'm still trying to figure out the backstory timeline. House met Cuddy when House was in med school and Cuddy was in college. House met Wilson after they were both out of med school, just after Wilson's first divorce. Wilson started working at Princeton-Plainsboro after House was there. Infarction was about five years before the first season, and Cuddy was already working at Princeton-Plainsboro then, and we don't know if House or Wilson were. In the episode where they went to House's father's funeral, did they say how long ago it was that House and Wilson met?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I love Nathan but hated the commercials, so I watched Medium instead. I'll catch up with Castle on the web.
