I had no idea there were that many hot bodies in Jersey. If I had known… well I still don’t want to go back there.

It was like watching a commercial for the OC with really crazy people. No humor, no real suspense. I’ll be watching it again on Thursday because I’m masochistic like that. If the tides turn and a plot develops that pulls my interest I will post again.

I was thinking too that it was like Good Omins without the funny. I kept looking for Crawly to show up. Man he was cool.

Because I am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy?... Capitalism. I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on Aisle Three. My wormhole technology... and a free set of steak knives... for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me... welcome to my cold war.

Not impressed so far, except for the Grant Show character. He seems like somebody from the Joss-verse. The rest of them I don't care for at all. I'm going to keep watching though, to see if it develops. At least there's nothing else on in the same time slot that's worth watching.

Apathy on the Rise. No One Cares.

I caught Thursday's episode and have to say I find myself torn. On the one hand the writing is seriously stilted and not at all funny.

But there are some really interesting ideas buried in there. The main character interests me, and I find myself actually caring about her to some extent. Her 'watcher', as I find myself thinking of him, is downright evil and very chilling. And the show isn't pulling punches. What happens to the priest at the end of the show...very well done. I don't know about Wensday's ep, but this episode didn't seem too soap operay. There were hints of it--the relationships between the 'popular' girl, the lifeguard, and the guy going out with the popular girl(sorry--I don't have names down at all yet)--but none of that seemed to take up anymore than five minutes. There is of course also the attraction between Christinia and the guy going out with the popular girl--but I'd argue that this raises interesting questions about thier attraction and whether or not it is real, and through that it forces Christinia to face what she is.

So in conclusion, tons of interesting ideas. Badly written dialouge. Next week looks to take things up another notch, so I think I'll be watching a while longer.

I live in NJ, and no there are not that many hot male or female bodies in the state. It's called fiction or is it called fantasy?

Not sure I like the male lead as an actor (the guy that saved her on the beach)...I dunno..maybe I will warm up to him. The gal that plays the female lead is absolutely gorgeous and seems to have some talent.

Agreed. I also enjoyed Grant Show, oh he of Melrose Place fame (and I'm so ashamed I know that)....he seems to have a depth of menace that could be interesting and I might eventually find him sexy. Whereas he has always seemed one of those not-very-interesting aesthetic types.

I also liked that they casted Richard Burgi in a main role, best known (by us anyway) as the rogue cop in the Firefly episode 'The Message'.
He is a good kisser.

Don't know about the kissin', but my Hey, It's That Guy question is answered!

Thanks!

heheh...the 'he is a good kisser' line is from Nathan during one of the commentarys on the Firefly DVD's, refering to Richard Burgi.
