Yes, last nights ep was VERY good. The show needs to find it's audience. Everyone that I have dragged to the TV to watch it has walked away saying it's "not bad". If they wanted to get more folks on board they should be running the previous episodes in "crap" time slots over and over. A show like this is hard to follow when you have no clue why the characters are doing what they are doing.
Typical F*X blundering by not investing in a property while it going. Stay tuned for Desperate Penguins Dancing with former Child Actors Addicted to bad Reality TV.

Though it was noted by Alex's sister in episode 3 that his first "love" was a '72 Dodge Challenger? Won't say it makes a difference, since I know some car nut like GrayFury will find a way to "prove" an argument between the 1970 and 1972 model years

I don't know anything about cars and can't tell a '70 from a '75 but the show really took off when Alex (Nathan Fillion) got that car.
I admit it was a bit ho hum for the first 2 episodes and mainly saw it because of Nathan and Tim but they really have the show in gear now (pun intended). My mouth was hanging open in disbelief at the end of the 4th episode.
I just hope and pray that we get more than the 6 episodes already made.
PEOPLE DON'T WATCH DANCING WITH THE OVER THE HILL STARS-WATCH DRIVE!

I definitely felt the rush when Alex was tearing up the road in that car. But at the same time I was thinking: okay he's one of the two most strongly motivated characters, he's the best driver, and he's got the fastest car. It doesn't seem like much of a competition.
And yeah, I know, there are going to be twists and turns and things will change. That's part of the show's appeal. I'll just have to keep watching and hope the show doesn't get all formulaic with each episode finding some new way to keep Alex from running away with things.

Hey, I was just 10 in 1970 and more interested in my Barbie than cars at the moment!

It is good to see the captain, yes.
But that is about it. Drive just doesnt do it for me, I am not excited at all about episode 5. It is a good time consumer and I will problaly watch the rest, mostly cause of Filliboy, but it has to improve a lot for me to rewatch it. Never been a car person, though. The more tv I see, the more I realize how much pearly goodness Firefly is. Tears and heartbleeding.
