I thought this was a solid episode.

Of course it was written by 24 alumnus Howard Gordon and Evan Katz. 2 solid writers from that show.

Nothing really happened in the A world besides Hannah conducting that charity event for Rex. But I enjoyed how Michael used the A world as his own personal time machine to fix the B world and help him find Rex and exonerate Cooper in both sides.

1 issue I had was how the hell did Cooper know where to find Rex and the tennis instructor after he escaped? Did I miss something there?

Not surprised that Michael's ex-partner was dirty and framed Cooper.

Very nice scene at the end in the B world when Michael saw the phone video of Rex.

Bad Guy superpowers.

It goes along with finding a kid who is on the verge of dehydration death and talking to him instead of giving him fluids. That said, it's an OK show.

I think the show has run its course for me. It's well-made, but I don't really care about either reality or which one is real, if any, and the cases are fairly routine.

Once the kidnapper said he thought it was a cop, it was pretty obvious it was gonna be the guest star in the episode. Hello, Buckwheat!

Something I have noticed, which convinces me that not only are both worlds real, but that there is going to be some serious cross back and forth by other players we have either met or not met yet, is that we are continually being shown scenes with son and wife where Britten is not present and has no knowledge of what has occurred. Or am I just late to the game with this?

Anyone get the impression that Michael is going to hook up with Rex's tennis teacher?

Yes. I'm almost positive I read someone say that here, though it was possibly elsewhere. It was something like, "...his son's tennis coach (and his future love interest?)".

Does anyone know the name of the obviously guilty guest star in last night episode(Guilty)?

Does anyone know what other shows the guilty guest star played in?

William Russ. He was the Dad in Boy meets World.

Didn't like the first 20 minutes of this episode, mostly because it was stuck in one reality, but once he was working the case in the other reality, I enjoyed it.

Decent series so far.

William Russ is known to me from Wiseguy...hence my "Hello, Buckwheat" reference above.

Then of course he's going to mumble the tennis teachers name while sleeping with the wife and she is going to think he is having a affair

Well seeing as he's completely conscient in both realities he would be having an affair.

Actually, she seems more interested in Rex to me, but I know they won't go there.

The tennis coach as love interest is probably a red herring. She is much more likely to be part of the conspiracy hinted at in the last episode, watching over the cop.

He can't have a relationship with her, he's married. For him both worlds are real. It's like going to his son's tomb in the other world, why would he go? His son is alive for him.

Anyways, I thought it was a good episode.

I'm out. The premise was awesome and the first episode had me intrigued, but now it seems there will be a case of the week much like Alcatraz turned into which I quit as well.

It was mentioned already that this show is a procedural with the dream/reality element as a backdrop. This was never going to be some mythology heavy Lost in dreamland type of show. Did you expect that?
