1) I'm sure not all reunions are the same.
2) I'm sure that television writers are exactly the kind of people that have no desire to go to their high school reunion.

I have a question - it felt like I missed a scene or something.

Near the begining, the cop has them pulled over, one kid has sneaked into the cop car and another kid fakes a seizure (with the fake foaming and everything), and when they come back to the scene, the cop's driving away (with the presents) - and nothing about the seizure or the kid in the cop car is ever addressd. What happened?

I don't remember them saying anything else about it. I just checked and it goes from the seizure/foam to Minnie's character waiting for them and then back to the cop driving off with the presents.

I thought it was a pretty good pilot. Will definitely stick with the show as long as possible. Izzard is awesome and Minnie was great. The previews for future episodes looked intriguing.

I know I read that they reshot about half of the original pilot because it was "too dark." Maybe it wasn't a major point and the storyline just got a little lost along the way.

That scene confused the hell out of me too. I thought I just missed something, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone.

Anyway, overall I thought it was decent. It was good enough to keep my coming back a couple weeks. I do hope they have a few more light scenes in future episodes. Having Eddie Izzard is such a waste if they don't keep plenty of comedy mixed in.

A Strange show, but I plan on tuning in for a few weeks to see if it finds its footing. I like Izzard and Driver so that will keep me coming back for a couple of weeks.

Anyone know what the song was playing towards the beginning?

"How We Operate" by Gomez.

Good show, I enjoyed it. But it's way too similar to Big Love.

Am I the only one still watching this? Haven't noticed a thread in awhile. I thought it had kind of been going downhill, but really enjoyed last week's meth episode. I think there are only 2 or 3 left...

I'm still watching. I like it

<---Still watching. Decent show. I watch it more for wifey than myself but it's not crap. I like Izzard and Driver.

Still watching it too. This is probably my favorite FX show (this or Thief), mainly because I actually care about what happens to the family.

I too am still watching...Gregg Henry steals every scene he's in.

I'm still watching. But mainly because the wife likes it. The show kind of grates me.
Like I said before, good acting, but I just don't care about these characters. Travelers? And now they're not even Travelers, they're identity thieves.

I sort of still watch it. Kind of background tv.

since heroes ended last night this is my favorite show on tv right now. SO im still with it.

I'm a few episode behind.

I stopped starting the weekly threads becasue the last couple I started only had 4 or 5 posts.

Yeah, I'm still watching it too, and still enjoying it. I've gotten to like every member of the family, as they've all grown on me. The only times I don't care for the show is when Izzard is trying to get away with a lie - I guess it's just the uncomfortableness of it that rubs me wrong. The acting on this show is really really good.

I gave up on it. It became the same show every week. "Oh, no, they are going to find out about us. Let's concoct a ridiculous situation and protect our secret. It worked! And...scene".

Plus, I never bought the actors as the characters they played.

What's funny is that if you go back and watch the first couple season of The Shield, that's exactly how each episode played: How are Vic and the strike team going to get out of the hole they got themselves in this week...? At least they ended up growing out of that.

Maybe the subject matter was just more interesting (or believable).

I still enjoy the show despite having the same feeling about the plots as you have. "Wayne I can't do this anymore! I miss our old life!" "Are you sure?" "Well, maybe just a little longer." Next week on "The Riches"...

Where I differ is that I think for the most part the acting is excellent, in particular Mr. Izzard.

Here's an unqualified rave for the show. Since the characters are living on a tightrope (of deceptions, so to speak) it follows that each show will be looking at how close they get to falling off. But the mix of comedy and drama still rings (mostly) true ... especially if you read the news stories of people who live like this. There are more of them among us than you think. Plus, as even the detractors admit, the acting is terrific.

I have hope that we'll get through this season and the writing will change for the positive as the show evolves.
