Anybody else watching Almost Human. I like the character interaction, and I think the world-building has been pretty good. The stories have been a tad generic week-to-week, but they serve both the characters and the environment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've really been enjoying it. I love the two main characters, and the secondary characters are pretty okay. And I always like to see John Larroquette.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The twist at the end was pretty cheesy. But overall I enjoy it a lot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I like it. I am intrigued by the wall and what Mr Larroquette has gotten himself into on the other side. I hope that in the future Lili Taylor will get to show more of her acting chops, presuming the show continues. I can't believe the season finale is next week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm a week behind, but I have also been enjoying Almost Human. I wouldn't weep if it got canceled, but Karl Urban is always good times, and I really like the actor playing Dorian.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The show needs to be "John and Dorian bicker in the car for an hour."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Almost Human has some cool ideas and I do like the world building a lot, but man, the writing is pretty bad sometimes. I started laughing at the "I am blind!" reveal because OF COURSE. It's a good thing Michael Ealy is so pretty.
I give Kennex a side-eye because I'm still not over him cavalierly destroying Paul's MX right in front of Dorian's eyes in that one episode (seriously, WTF) and getting off with a light slap on his wrist.
My favourite ep so far was the one with John Larroquette as Dorian's creator and Gina Carano playing a terminator. Not sure why they waited so long to introduce the existence of The Wall but I was intrigued.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like the bickering and have enjoyed some of the world-building (the spray which makes your face look like light so it is unseeable by security cams very much). I also find find both leads deeply lust-inducing, so there's that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm with Dana. The bickering in the car scenes are the highlight of the show.
The Wall has been mentioned several times, starting with the pilot, there just hasn't been much emphasis on it until recently.

I'm looking forward to the 1st episode of Mind Games tonight. The show probably doesn't belong in this thread, but I thought I'd mention it since Kyle Killen's last show (Awake) did. I wish it had something less mindless for a lead in.
