I was hooked on Buffy; and X-files by the first episode. I only saw half of the first Firefly and I was still hooked!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

It didn't grab me like Firefly, but I don't hate it, and I'm going to keep watching it. I'm intrigued to know more about these people.
The men's room scene was, I think, to show that Tam is willing to work outside the law to get to what he wants to know. (If I understood, he was bargaining with that guy for information, in exchange for protection for his particular branch of bad guys.)

Well, it's Joss, so I'll hang in there.

Punishingly Intricate
Well, my dvr decided I only wanted to watch the last ten minutes of it. What the fucking fuck, DVR?!

Oh dear. Doesn't sound like it's made of win, but I realise that the pilot ep isn't always the one that seduces us. (But - y'know, it kind of should be, really. Serenity was awesome. imho. And Welcome to the Hellmouth and City of were also awesome.)

Oh, and it probably didn't help that I've been reading hard-boiled crime fiction lately, but: worst kidnappers ever.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Historically I almost never like a show from the pilot alone so I have to withhold judgment. I'll be back next Friday.
this is where i am too. Eliza and Tahmoh are very pretty. nice to see all the Jossverse names in the credits. not to mention the grr argh! guy. it's been a while.

Art Crawl!!!
Fay - next week's was the originally intended pilot. (Sound familiar?)
It's very odd to watch this and SCC and BSG with all the memory, identity, robot/human stuff all mixed up together.

tiggy - I agree about the credits - it was like a family reunion.

Oh, I really want this to be good. I've SO enjoyed Eliza as Faith, and in Bring it On, and she was likeable enough in what I saw of Tru Calling - I want this to be great for her. And heaven knows Tahmon is both lickable and engaging. And - JOSS SHOW, for heaven's sakes! Of course I want it to rock, and to showcase his best stuff. But I feel all nervous about it because the concept, whilst intriguing, is one that could go hideously pear-shaped.
