I'm a bit on the fence with this, so far. Jonny Lee Miller is holding his own, but the mystery didn't seem very mysterious - it was clear pretty much from the get-go who the killer was going to be, although yes, half the fun is in figuring out how he figures it out. Weirdly enough, the one thing that's bugging me is

Yeah, I hate comparing shows like this to Lost, but that show offered doses of Hurley and Sawyer - the sweet and sour duo of tv humor - to prevent the proceedings from drowning in waves of mopeyness and regret.

I didn't think it was dire, but I agree with you - it takes itself much too seriously. We need a character or two who's able to take everything a bit more in stride, and give us at least a knowing smirk or a smile.

I recently checked with Covert Affairs after a long while away and was surprised at how much more compelling it had become. The last two episodes culminating with Annie's showdown with Lena were really nicely done.

Oh it doesn't matter, in the broader scheme of things, because as pointed above Walt probably had more than enough money to cover the hits even before the Czech deal with Lydia made him a bazillionaire.

How much did those ten murders cost Walt? For a show that's precise about money, payoffs, handoffs, etc. I found that glossed over.

I just saw this film earlier today, and kudos to Keanu and company for making what might strike someone as an esoteric and technical topic not only accessible but fascinating. B+ strikes me even as a little uncharitable, although I was a little surprised about how quickly it dispenses with the perspective of the

Yeah, understandable - I know it's about costs and logistics of filming, and that's that. But had the movie (and others like it, where location and physical context are key parts of the story) made geographic sense it would have been not only fun, but something special.

Saw this earlier today. It didn't make any sense but it was plenty of fun on its own merits and JGL gave it his all. The one thing that ruins it a little for me in NYC-based movies like this is, if someone says, "You got to get to Chinatown by 7pm," and he shoots out onto Broadway at 116th, why does the next scene

I'm impressed by how in the span of two episodes Nina's become a much more sympathetic character, but I'm even happier that Rachel's become a more assertive and confident character. "Excuse me…I"m not a dog!" I spit out my food when she said that.
