I think my main problem with this week's Fear Itself was the pacing. Admittedly I less intently when Colin wasn't on screen, but I think opportunities were wasted to kick back and let the menace make itself felt. The slow creepy feeling wasn't there--just a recitation of admittedly horrific facts.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, and I couldn't figure out how that happened. . . I wanted to have some sort of explanation.
(I totally noticed that Charlie Jade got moved to 2 AM central Tuesdays. . . sigh.)

That too...they invoked God's name, and to what end? Not a very nice one. If the family had survived and it had been some way to get the baddie on the books doing something bad, but no.

I kind of liked the first episode of Fear Itself. It didn't blow my mind or anything, but was kind of fun. I didn't watch last week, and have last night's episode recorded to watch tonight. ::hugs dvrs:: From the previews it looks like Colin plays a bad guy. Looking forward to seeing it.
I just can't decide if I am going to watch MVP (how in the HELL did that get ABC play time?) before or after. I wonder if it is as bad as I remember.

I liked this week's Fear Itself, except that I found the end predictable. Colin gives good creepy.

Speaking of Colin, I tried to watch Rowing Through and gave up after about 15 minutes, even though I did last through the horrid mullet/fro thing he had going on.

The end of Fear Itself went a 1/2 turn further than I did. I was going for happier, what with the Godliness.
Julie, thank god you did. There were a couple notably horrible moments in it--well, the sex scenes with his (RL) GF was probably only trauma for me. But there was one moment towards the end...well, when I talked to him about the movie I had only to say "What was the director thinking when..." for him to know. Oddity. Not interesting flick.

I saw the last 1/2 turn coming when they said there was a survivor.

I was slow. Of course, I went to sleep wondering if he could get away anyway--but that's just because it was Colin in the role. The previous evidence against the bad guy had been "just" the testimony of a kid, but this time, despite the horrendous coincidence of the baddie being in the house, all the physical evidence should point to Colin's body.
