The two things I loved about this episode was the father/daughter sub-plot and the reveal that the rogue cop was another part of the race and the reveal of Alex's old car. As much as I loved the brown truck because it reminded me of Serenity, I love this other car so much more. With this guy, the trucker (played by the same guy tht played Allan Grey in ENTOURAGE, that's where I know him from) and Beth Grant the waitress, you really get that Kafka like sense that no matter where you go or pull off at during the race, there's no escape.
I love how the other person on the phone with Dylan Baker wasn't the ex-wife but his doctor. Not only does it show that the father really CAN lie well, but it's that extra bit of pathos that lying to her brings him and her closer together. Only sets up the inevitable downfall of him.
And I like the fact that the ep ended at a drive-in theatre. Only wish we saw the actual film.
Looking forward to next weeks ep. Answers what the racers do for money. Credit cards and bank accounts can only go so far.

"Drive" Episodes Now Playing on MySpace. Fox has made the first two eps of Drive (which aired on Sunday as the two-hour premiere) available on a MySpace page.
They promise an "HD-like experience" at the highest quality, and there's also a discussion board.

Does Alex remind anyone of the original, moodier Mal from the original Serenity pilot? Not for the version that was revised and aired.
Here's a link to that eppy if anyone hasn't seen it: http://versaphile.com/download/firefly.html. That eppy is the one marked as '1x00 "Serenity"' at the bottom.
Anywho, I didn't see a lot of similarities in the characters, as Mal is running from and Alex is running to. They just have that same quality of moodiness.
And, on another note (I'm gonna turn into my 14 year old self for this one): Alex's old/new car is soooooooooooo hot! It really makes a girl want to jump in and ride off with him. Not that I wouldn't have if he was driving the truck. It's just... it's a girl thing!

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?
It's "Leave You Far Behind" by Lunatic Calm. I recognized it from the Matrix soundtrack.

Y'all are so kind. I am still running my
venerable LVCVLLVS MDIII, a beautiful machine
exquisitely crafted of beautiful minerals and
semi-precious stones. The connection has
recently been upgraded from pressed-clay bullae
to carven beads in order to speed things up
by eliminating drying time.

I am thinking Jay Leno might like Alex's car and
would welcome him as a guest...

Found it this morning. Wasn't up yesterday when I went to Fox's site a couple of times.
Caught last night's episode. Not too bad, but I think I will get more out of it once I watch the pilot episode online.
