Pretty solid show. It's that kind of "quirky" that I enjoy in my filmed entertainment, plus it's nigh impossible for Tim Roth to be anything but awesome.

Watched all but the last couple of minutes (had the DVR set to record Law&Order and Damages, and it ran over their start times.)

Thought it was pretty OK. It could go either direction, but I liked what I saw.

Yeah, the concept could get old after a while, but as long as they keep the same breezy tone with the writing it should be fine.

I could have done without the tough latina TSA agent who's a "natural."

I mean, they go into all this discussion about how scientific what they're doing is and how it's a skill that can be learned, then they blow it with someone who's just a "natural."

I watched it, but didn't watch it (if you know what I mean)

It's an interesting concept

They guy discussing why he arrived late was good stuff though

Not bad. Tim Roth will always be Mr. Orange too me.

However, I can see this show causing problems in peoples relationships.

Honey, where did you go last night with the guys?

The Casino, why?

YOU'RE A NO GOOD SQUINTING GODDAMN LIAR!

there's a disturbing trend where the ending of these shows always has the dramatic slow-mo shot with the deep felt musical selection.

the wife liked it.

I liked it, for only watching the 1st half.

Mr. Orange - lol. Some characters are hard to break. Kinda like when you see "Al Bundy" in a serious role.

What kind of crap are you watching that has Al Bundy in a serious role? :D

Dutch was the best thing he ever did.

Hey, are you calling Ed O'Neill's role as "Relish the Troll King" in the short lived 10th Kingdom series crap?

Polk High School's State Championship Video begs to differ.

Oh, and Ford Fairlane.

Oh no, we're talking leading man in a drama/comedy. And that, my sub zero friend, is Dutch!

I rilly liked it. I will watch it again just because I loved Tim Roth as Pumpkin in Pulp Fiction.

Yes, Ringo was good.

But when he's was walking by people who are saying things, like the guy saying he loves his girlfirend's parents or something like that, would he really make that face??? I mean, c'mon, they're forcing a few things.

Decent.

Anyone watch it this week?

I like it. Only thing I didn't like was this episode got a little too preachy and give me a break, like one year of college is a horrible rule for the NBA. Talk about taking a one in a million scenario and acting like the rule is the debbil.

But overall a good show.

It's a classic plot device. You inject someone in an established organization as the new person that all the experienced people can explain to. She's the girl that lets the audience know what the hell is going on. Otherwise the writers would run out of reasons for the characters to tell each other what they already know.

Good point. Me, I prefer the scripter to be able to show me how things work without having to use expository dialog.

Did I miss the show last night? I was out doing stuff (IOW eating tasty lad na) and forgot to DVR.

I guess we're going to get Dr. Orange's dark and mysterious backstory slowly revealed to us through his interactions with Tits McRookie.

You lied to me!
Get used to it.

Ooh!

That's a mighty fancy phrase there. :)
