I was clear on why she was pulled over, what I don't quite get is why so many cops were deployed to take her down while several dozen acts of reckless driving are occuring on the same stretch of highway.

Your average traffic cop isn't burdened by an overabundance of schooling.
One of the cool things about the show is that there are so many people in the race it'd be easy for other members of the crew to come in as guest stars or small reoccuring roles. One set of racers I'm particularly interested in is the old couple on the motor cycle. They managed to pull off cute and badass at the same time. That wins a lot of cool points from where I'm sittin'.

I just love the fact that our Captain is still havin' ship.. er, uh "Vehicle" troubles. The man can't seem to get a decent ride anywhere in the Verse.

I was lucky enough to see the two hour premiere on CTV on Friday night (which was good since Sunday night was the night my 301 class watched our final films. Went from 7 to 11:o30) so I decided to wait until everyone else saw the show until I posted.
Things I didn't like: The title credits were a bit unimaginary, I'm not too big a fan of the Google Earth transitions, and I didn't get how the new mommy was able to not be disqualified for not killing Taryn Manning.
Things I did like: Everything else. I liked the concept, the pacing and editing of the show made it a complete rush to watch, and the various characters got my attention. Nate was great and all, but my favorite car is the father/daughter combo. Dylan Baker (aka. Curt Connors from the SPIDER-MAN movies) is just a great character actor . And I think him and his daughter have the potential for a great storyline. Of him dying and trying to live life as much as he can and his spoiled teenage daughter seeing the change in her old man and her stepping up to the plate and changing. I didn't mind the thug and his rich brother storyline. Think that has potential as well.
And I like the darker, shorter, balder and more sinister Jeff Probst emcee. THAT is a memorable character.
With DRIVE, HEROES and 24, Monday night is now my fave TV night.

I believe that the man's words were something to the effect, that by the time they reached the next check point she had better not be in that car anymore. Didn't ever say anything about killing exactly.

Freakin' awesome show. Looking forward to tonight. Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned but that "Brad" guy is also from 'Angel'... he's a shopkeeper in season 4 during the whole Jasmine thing. I wonder if any other actors from Firefly and Angel will end up on this show, Tim Minear created it after-all, then again it probably won't last too long 'cause it's on F*X.

WOW! I gotta say that I hadn't been amped about this show at all. I honestly forgot it was even coming on until I saw a little ad on AIM for it. I figured I'd just watch the first ep out of respect for Nathan's acting ability. I honestly thought the premise was stupid, but within the first 3 minutes of the show I was hooked. First Early as the detective, then seeing who I correctly thought was Amy Acker in the photo...That was it I was in for at least the rest of the ep.
Come to find out there were other little Fireflyesque quirks (the stalling of his truck, the wrench, even just certain looks that screamed "MAL") which made it all the better. Even putting all that asside the story seems interesting to me, and I'll definately keep watching. Goes to show you can't always judge a book by its cover. Anyway I'll be watching here on in, and yes I'll be crossing my fingers for other Jossverse actors/refrences.

I thought the exact same thing.
Well, as a rule I say girl folk ain't to be trusted.

However, I found myself totally sucked in after a short time. The show has got a frenetic chaotic pace that's really quite intriguing.
Ditto. The only thing I would change is, "I knew I'd have to watch it because of Nathan and Tim." Otherwise - my feelings exactly. I knew I would watch, I wanted to watch, but I expected to hate it. I did hate it, too, for the first two minutes - and then I was IN.
However, I am a little confused about the truck driver - when he said he had something in the back that could help him out. What would he have done if Alex had taken him up on the offer? Killed him? Killed her? Let them off the hook? I totally love the whole taunting thing at the end, but the logistics of that one interaction still have me puzzled. If I'm meant to assume that somehow he knew how Alex would respond I can do that – but is there something I'm missing?
Don't make faces.

Yep, I'm hooked. Glad I put Drive on my NetFlix list as soon as I heard about it. Once again, Nathan does an outstanding job. His lines, expressions, and intensity really punch. I like the performances of everyone else on the show as well. I may not like the characters they play, but the performances really fit. Cool older motorcycle couple, too.
And the special effects. Did anyone else notice that the Corinna's mom was ejected out of the rear of their vehicle during the crash? How did they do that?
'nuff for now
