The writing impressed me. Witty dialogue and a complicated story. I prefer this style to the supposed English major, Tarantino.
Hoping they don't drag it out past its due date, but that's not gonna happen if the ratings are good.

I think you have to allow for poetic license or maybe assume that he's so good that it doesn't make sense to the rest of us.

oo I was hoping there was a thread for this.
when I saw the ads for this I knew I had to check it out because I love him. I loved "the Guardian" and the character he played in that. this character seems totally different. but still has that "broken" quality he does so well. some really funny lines in this. but if you're looking for realism, look else where. As someone who works in law enforcement I saw at least a half dozen errors and many things each of those guys would be suspended for. for example, saying the nick name for the serial killer in front of a civillian (I think it was the next of kin) |

Oh and if I want realistic I'd stop watching TV and go two blocks away and watch the crack dealers jitter on the corner. I WANT escapism fantasy TV like Lost, Fringe, Heroes and The Terminator. That's the best part of the shows. I get to suspend my drab reality and forget everything but what is playing out on my boob tube.
eta: Jennica, I'm a total tard sometimes. What was the serial killer's nickname? I can't believe I forgot that. I know it's simple.

That's what I'm going to do as well. Both shows are online so it's easy. Torrents though are a beauteous thing. I've watched everything that
started this season that I can't just catch online like Merlin, True Blood, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace etc so far. I love em! As for the serial
killer are you talking about Red John?
eta: Oh, yes I post in the BB forum. Come out of lurkdom next season! |

Red John! | ||

Thanks! So simple and I couldn't remember.
tdugan, thought that was you. I posted maybe three times. You guys were brutal and kept me entertained on the discussion thread. I was laughing at shit I'd NEVER say. lol (ex: Jerry has been still.. maybe he's dead. Shit, he just moved!) Torrents? |

I dunno. I kinda hide on the LOST forum where people don't get too nasty. BB forum skeers me. Not that I'm a wuss by any means.. I just don't get
into bashing much. But I will post next season if you guys protect me. Fluffy and EiE will also be back-ups.

I swear, the daughter at the beginning, the one who died, goes to my school... >_< The 'Missing' photo looks exactly like her!
The credits didn't have the actor who played her though. |

OK it would freak me out if I recognized a corpse on TV hahaha.
Felicia and sam? Check your PM's for a quick tutorial on torrents. You will wonder how you ever lived without this wonderful thing. Hee hee. |

I can't wait to mess with the torrents! Libra, do you go to school in Cali? I'd be getting an agent, like NOW, just think you could be getting some work too! Scale is a nice chunk of change. |

Got the PMs, TD. Thanks for hooking me up.
sam - Do you know if BB is gonna have two seasons again next year? Or was that a one time writers strike thing? Libra - cool thread title, too bad the quote is cut off. Sucks. |

Hi simplyamused! Yes, I go to school in Cali. An agent? Yikes!
Felicia, glad you like the title. It's such a bummer that the title got cut off. |

I watched the pilot of this tonight since I missed it on Tuesday because of DWTS and I loved it. Crime shows appeal to me and I figured I'd enjoy it but
was pleasantly surprised with how well written it was and complicated the plot was with the twist/turns and how it came together nicely in the end.
I was confused by one thing: Was that Dr. a copy cat Red John? If so, how did he know how to do the smiley face exactly the way the killer did? I doubt they released pictures of that to the press. I know he had books that talked about the killer but if he is not caught..I would think that they would withhold something like that. If he was a copycat that means that the real killer, the one that killed the lead character's family is still out there, right? |

Seeing as how there were already errors another poster pointed out, I wouldn't be surprised that the bloody smile was known by other people. I'm
sure the real killer is still out there. Patrick pointed out that the smile was on the opposite wall.
That's probably part of the big onging storyline, kinda like Profiler. Patrick going to his house and getting in the bed with the smile over it made it pretty certain (to me) that Red John is still out there and will continue to haunt him. |

Hey BrocktonRox! Yeah that was a bit creepy. It shows that dark/tragic side to the character IMO. The combination of that and the charming and smartass side
is what makes the character interesting.
