Synopsis:



Episode 7 of 13


For whoever is still watching, which includes me, starting with tonight's episode the show is going away from the usual mission of the week and starting a serialized arc. The below story is a good read.

Thank GOD! I'm still enjoying it well enough, but come ON! Serializing this is the only way to go. Had I known Josh Reims was so anti-serial, I might not have even started watching this in the first place.

Just finished watching tonight's show. Probably the best one of the young season. Hopefully, they can continue with the improvements for the remainder of the season.

The previews next week look excellent. This show started off fairly weak but seems to be finally hitting it's stride mid-season.

Sark!

I think this is the first show I have seen him in since Alias.

dgmayor

He was on Heroes for a bit.

And 24 and Vampire Diaries and Into the Blue 2 ----I'm serious about that one. Just rented it on DVD a few weeks ago.

djones6746

Into the Blue 2? Wow...he must be hard up for work.

I think I do remember him being on 24 for one episode.

Just read that this show got cancelled.

Not surprised by this. Didn't really expect it to last beyond the short-order of episodes NBC recently put in.

Just in time to free up one of my DVR tuners for Human Target.

So this episode was about the assassination of the show itself?

djones6746

The last couple of eps were pretty good. Not surprised either with the way the show started off. It was just starting to hit it's stride over the last couple of episodes. Oh well....as someone just stated...Human Target is back in two weeks. Love that show!!!!!

Giantrobo

OH well, no point in catching up on Hulu.

Gizmo

It never got additional episodes, just 2 scripts.

I wanted to like this show but couldn't get past the first two episodes.

djones6746

I agree...very weak start to the show. It is a shame because as I posted earlier, I believe the show was finally starting to hit it's stride in offering quality episodes each week. Oh well......on to the shows that will survive the cut.

TGM

off to delete the episodes stored up on the DVR... I was waiting for some sort of news before I started this series.

rfduncan

Pfft. Oh well. Wednesdays just got a lot lighter... especially when Terriers bites it as well, it'll be down to ABC's Wednesday Comedy Block and Friday Night Lights.

DJariya

I understand your hesitation to watch this based on how mediocre/bad the ratings were. But, honestly I don't think you would have liked it anyways considering you quit Burn Notice because you got tired of the weekly case/mission of the week, which is what this show did. Nikita, on the other hand, has been kicking it into high gear.

TGM

Well, for the record, thanks to the triplets and my own inherent insomnia, I did eventually watch the rest of the saved up Burn Notice's and thought the last 4 episodes were better... so I'll give it another shot when it returns. Maybe.

I really liked Nikita's pilot episode, told my wife about it, who then became interested, but subsequently hasnt found the time to watch it, so I've been stuck, and unable to watch the rest of them until my pain in the ass wife catches up.

I just promised myself that I wouldn't get burned again like I was in... what was it, 20066? When Surface, Invasion, Threshold, Smith, and two other shows I was watching all got unceremoniously shitcanned without so much as a "thanks for watching" reach-around. NEVER AGAIN I TELL YOU, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
