I didn't see the pilot, but this episode wasn't too bad. Makes me wonder how far they're going to drag out Charlie's somewhere-between-life-and-death thing. Good news is, from the looks of the promo for next week's show, Erica's character is going to disrobe to give Charlie some "hands on" coma therapy. Sweet!

Pretty good episode.
I thought the ex-wife was going to play a more integral part. Sure she made Alex think differently, but I was hoping for a more Addison twist!
Not sure I care about the intern and VampDoc. I liked her well enough in the pilot, but now she's getting annoying. I think Shrink has a thing for her, which is unfortunate since he's pretty cool.
I think the ending would have been better if instead of seeing her make the action, cut from her realization to Charlie walking somewhere else in the hospital. Then suddenly have him hear the music, smile and walk off camera - transition and cut to flashback.

Shanks is being wasted but I don't think they can have him out of the coma except in the series finale.
When I first saw the previews, I thought this would be a show where Shanks correctly diagnoses mis-diagnosed patients and somehow passes along the information to the material world. Like a House MeDium

It's unclear to me why Erica chose such a low-profile show. The only thing I can think of is she has a producer credit too.

I also kind of wonder she would choose this show. My guess is that she has trouble finding work on American shows. It seems her fellow Canadian Gregory Smith has had the same troubles and he is on that Canadian show Rookie Blue. I really liked Erica on Smallville and Gregory on Everwood and I think both of them could get on better shows.

Look at Cassidy Freeman. She was only on Smallville for 3 seasons and managed to get work on The Vampire Diaries and is now one of the leads of Longmire. Plus, Longmire just got renewed and is one of A&E's highest rated new series.
