He was only onscreen for maybe 5 minutes total, doing his standard Attractive Creep schtick. Dushku was fine, the episode just needed other characters to be, well, characterized better (or at all). Or in the case of the older sister, much less annoying, or the younger brother, much less stupid. Can you tell that I have issues?
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Hmm. I watched it. It didn't suck, but it wasn't great. I spent the hour thinking, "Eliza Dushku is HOT." t shrug I'll give it a few episodes before declaring it pants.

I only caught the last 10 minutes. I kept thinking this wouldn't be bad, if Tru had some superpowers, and a good writing staff, and maybe some of the ghosts were demons, and...
Oh. Yeah. Faith Spin-Off is off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was eh. The most emotional reaction I got was when she kicked the gun away, but she kicked the line of fire across the woman whose life she was there to save.
So I think I was kinda detached.

I enjoyed it. . . it has potential and it's fun to see ED on tv.
Was CKR the married father of this week's dead person's baby? (Why didn't I recognize him?)

Yes. It took me a second to recognize him, probably because he wasn't scruffy and was dressed far too conservatively.

I was really distracted by the "earlier tonight on Tru Calling." Whatever the motivation, it completely broke up the flow of the story - what little flow there was.

I was ready to declare Tru Calling OK until the last 3 or 4 minutes. The wind-blown graveyard voiceover monologue was just - blech for me. HOT? Yes. ED is hot for sure, but I don't think I'll watch again until Petrie's first episode. He is confirmed as a writer still, yes?

Yeah, I guess that the producers of Tru Calling must think that they have many people who are watching Friends who aren't also watching Scrubs . . . but to me, I imagine it's people who are watching Scrubs who tune into Friends because it's what's on first.
