So when they say "The Nine" they are referrring to the hostages?, but since the sister is dead, there's really only 8, but then if you count the bank robber who is in jail who seems to be a featured character, then there's 9 again.

I'm thinking that he became one of the hostages. Maybe very early on?
Maybe he saved the banker's daughter from his brother? Turned on his brother? I don't think everything is what it seems.

This show is pretty boring, I don't like any of the Nine, counting the Egan character (seems like a propped "hero" judging by the rest of the reaction of the survivors).

Speaking of recognizing actors on this show, when I saw Egan's boss, I had this nagging feeling that I knew him from another show. So I looked him up on IMDB and lo and behold, it turns out he's the kid from Kate and Allie. And he looks exactly the same!

I enjoyed the first episode but this one really went downhill. With the exception of Tim Daly I don't care about anyone. I'll give it one more epidode to see if it's going to go anywhere.

Man, I love looking at Camille Guaty (yum), but this show so far seems much ado about nothing. What on paper seemed like an excellent, interesting idea, has turned out, at least so far, to be pretty god damn boring to me.

I agree that it is boring, and they need to start feeding some more information to hook me. When I see John Billingsley, I always think about his creepy character from Nip/Tuck.

I think this show has already lost me, too. I'm just not finding it that interesting and I don't care enough about what happened during the bank robbery to have flashbacks of it for an entire season. Oh, well.

He also played Ron Cheals, the ex-member in a wheel chair on The Unit last season as well.

My girlfriend and I gave up on this show halfway through this episode. There hasn't been a single moment of excitement and it seems it's much ado about nothing. I'm sorry, but any TV show that I give 90 minutes to has to elicit some kind of emotion from me during that time period. The Nine didn't do it.
We saw a show about Pandas I had DVRd instead. It was about fifty times more entertaining, sadly.
