It was a little better than the pilot. A couple of funny moments, but there are still a few people in the cast that just don't fit in, imo.

The driver was insane, too bad he didn't stick around.

I really don't get the Klepto-Cop subplot.

I'm still watching this. I like the show - and there were next to no commercials (guess they have not sold all the spots yet)

$150k to get caught (What do you think the jail time will be?)

Decent episode. Once again, it is all about the story because the characters are weak.

Exactly. That will be the only reason that I keep watching.

Maybe they'll ask her to be part of the heist. Since she loves being a klepto and all.

I like Jimmy the cop. Other than that, this is pretty boring.

Any for anyone that watched next week's spoilers, I mean, could they make it more obvious as to why the heist is going down?

It's obvious to us ... but not obvious to anyone else in the Heist (besides Mickey of course).

It's like in Ocean's Eleven, how the underlying reason for Danny pulling the job was to get Tess back. On Heist, Mickey wants revenge, and he wants his daughter back. Don't know about the wife though.

The young male thief is over-acting the most, and the driver in last night's episode over-acted in every scene except his last one.

He probably still thinks he's selling meatball pizzas.

Just read that beginning next week: L&O and Heist will be switching timeslots. Heist will be one hour earlier.

Probably because L&O was getting killed that slot w/ Lost and Criminal Minds. Moving it back puts it up against Invasion and not much else.

That's the only kind thing I can say about this show.

The driver looked like the same actor who was in a season 1 episode of Veronica Mars.

This episode had one of the fakest punches I have ever seen on tv. It's almost insulting. The two punches in the pilot were just as bad. This is supposed to be an action show, at least have better fake punches than 5 year-olds with camcorders could pull off.

That sucks. I liked being able to record Heist after Lost. Oh well, so much for Heist, I guess.

Well, fuck a duck. Unless they keep airing repeats on USA, Heist.

It looked like Bravo also aired repeats tonight. 9 PM is also a hell of a conflict for me, and there is no way it rises above Veronica Mars or LOST in my book.

Given the ratings erosion for the show this week, I wonder if this is NBC basically writing the show off. If so, it's a pity. They really should have tried it out of Las Vegas.

this show is laughable. Hey let's discuss a major crime in public where anyone can over hear
the police shooting range using a flat wall of cement blocks for a backstop
mrs cleetus van dam doesn't come off as a cop at all

Exactly. I had fun watching this episode, but I don't give the show a second thought.
