The song that played during the final driving sequence (as Alex was blowing everyone's doors off in his sweet new ride)... I'm positive it was in an episode of Angel, but I just can't place which one 
. Anyone else recognize it?
Hope the ratings for tonight's will be a little better than last night's. Yeah, it'll probably get smoked by the celeb dancing show, but maybe if it can be competitive with the other two networks' offerings... Be interested to know how expensive each ep is to produce, too (and also what the network's expectations for it are). If it's fairly reasonable, cost-wise, they might give it a longer leash; if it's wicked expensive, I have a feeling we'll be lucky to see ep#6... 
I'm gonna be 
if it gets canned, 'cause there's so few things on TV I even watch anymore. I'm still angry about "Wonderfalls" getting axed after just 3 eps...

My husband almost wet himself when they showed that car!! Now he's hooked -- because of the CAR.
I think Alex really was part of that bank heist. He said something about never leaving a man behind.
Doesn't matter, I'll watch it no matter what.
I would watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book on TV.

Where do I begin? Every time they start in with some real good characterization, or they take it somewhere I'm interested in going, Alex gets hit in the head!! My mom and brother called the "you killed my partner" bit, and on and on and on. There's too much damn action, and the special effects are very noticeable.
Tully hasn't slept in at least a day; they're not telling us anything really about "these people;" and for me it's all just smoke and mirrors - whatever big reveal they have planned at the end of forever cannot possibly be as big or as bad as they're desperately trying to make us believe it is. It all seems more than implausible, and... grr.
But, Nathan Fillion's on TV again, and I have nothing better to do Monday nights. Who knows? Maybe it'll get better... eventually. 'Till then, the only people I like are the dad and daughter, the manager-type guy ("going to the police would be immediate grounds for disqualification"), and Alex (and, by extension, Corinna, because they are partners). All the rest of it is more or less crap, in my honest opinion.

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?
I think there are people who want Alex to win the race and I think there are people who want Alex to not win the race.
Select to view spoiler:
Easiest way to get Tully out of the race is to simply give him his wife. Maybe the truck driver could not tell him directly that she was there...but if Alex asked he might permission to give her to him. Or it just might have been a way to drive Alex crazy. Think how they must have tortured the parents of little blond girl in the race 27 years ago.
I don't think there was any sound coming from the phone. Alex was remembering what the truck driver said earlier.

It is possible there are people gambling on the outcome of the race. That is why you can't stop someone once they started. Even if they hit you with a wrench.
I want the truck back.

No way to watch it here (gnash, gnash!)
It's DVD for me, eventually.
"...you wanna see the real me now...?", has been
cited as a familiar Mal line. Somebody else
mentioned Alex uttering a very Mal-ish "hunh."
I think we got "hunh" nearly every episode of FF,
and ditto our old favorite, "son of a bitch."
Anybody hear a "son of a bitch" these 2 nights?
Wouldn't it be more fun if other characters were
given the FF lines? Or am I too much the caption
freak?

Wasn't there a line in the opener to the effect "someone's got a lot riding on you". Immediately we assume it's his wife but the guy could have been talking about some high roller. Would fit since the winner supposedly gets $32 million.
The truck was a nice touch but that car is one bad mofo. Wouldn't mind if a Hemi showed up soon...a real Hemi not the crap Dodge rolls out nowadays.
Earlier in the thread I was pondering why the drivers weren't being noticed by the police. A co-worker of mine suggested that perhaps they have been advised to avoid the contestants. If the men behind the curtain are powerful enough to set up constant surveillance and organize elaborate hoaxes then it could be plausible. The only fault I find with the idea is that in this day and age people are always using cell phones to call the police and photograph unusual goings on. What are the authorites saying when they receive dozens of phone calls about reckless driving? "A...yes sir...we've received several calls on this matter and will look into it".
Still liking it.

I didn't hear one, but when he delivered the line, "What's the trouble?" last night, it was pretty Mal-esque.
Don't make faces.
