Hey, look - it's the brunette college student from October Road.

Shocking.

Gretchen Mol has a case of the sexy.

At the end of the episode when Tyler and Hunt are standing at the car drinking and talking about Hunt's first crooked partner, you can see the Verizon building in the background.

That had to be a great LSD trip.

Please let this show survive.

But they are still basically retelling the UK scripts. I'm waiting for them to veer off into new stories.

I'm actually enjoying this more than the original series, which totally surprises me.

Oops!
Mistake .... or one of Sam's flashes of 2008, like the kid in the Nirvana shirt?

(OK, almost certainly a mistake, but it's nice that they have a built-in excuse for any anachronisms that slip in).

They should have gotten Billie Piper to play Rose Tyler.

Do you think Michael Imperioli had a hand in naming the girl who got wacked by the mob Adriana?

So far they've remade British episodes 1, 2, 5 and 4.


Also, I noticed that those little robots look very much like the Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity that have been exploring the real Mars for almost 5 years now.
