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.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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.

I haven't been able to decide if I am intrigued by Mind Games or not. I dislike that one guy, and I might be over Christian Slater, so it all pretty much depends on the premise, and I don't think I know what that is.

It seems like Leverage, but with psychology. I'm mainly going to watch because I loved what Killen did with Awake and because I'll know many of the actors since it shot in Chicago.

Yeah, the Leveraginess is what's appealing. And I did like Awake, mostly. Hm.
Well, it's not conflicting with anything tonight, I can record this one and I hope I get around to watching it before too long.

I feel like I should watch Mind Games, as a friend of a friend (and someone whom I've also met at assorted Browncoat functions) is one of the writers, but I barely have enough time for what little TV I already do watch.

Because books.
I met the guy who wrote the book that Intelligence is based on tonight! Great guy, although his book is actually YA (the protagonist is 16) and when he sold the rights, a LOT of stuff was changed. (Josh Holloway is in his 40s, right?)
I haven't seen it -- has anyone else?

It's pretty standard network fare. But Josh Holloway.
(And it does sound like they changed a lot, because he's like ex-special forces super soldier.)

I think the book is about how he got that way, from the blurb I just read on Amazon. It's called Phoenix Island, by John Dixon, who is a super nice guy. I'd like to read it.
