Never mind the fact that the concept itself is problematic (Even with its science fictional trappings, the show seems to want to be Alias with one major, fatal, exception: the main character HAS NO character).<BR/><BR/>Add to the fact that the idea someone would go to a very expensive organization to hire a kidnap negotiator or a hooker or a singer/bodyguard instead of, you know, going to organizations actually specializing in said services, and you've got one head scratcher of a concept.<BR/><BR/>Still, the show's pedigree was good, the staff behind the scenes had a track record themselves, but it would appear this one's a miss.<BR/><BR/>Too bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10906797.post-3565106407979422322009-03-06T06:47:00.000-05:002009-03-06T06:47:00.000-05:00Well, you have asked a lot of questions of the sho...Well, you have asked a lot of questions of the show, yet you have only given it 3 episodes to answer all of them. I'm not sure that's fair. Then again, I'm not you. I trust Joss, he hasn't let me down yet. I will give him one full season to get me hooked, at least. If I had given up on Buffy after it's (Relatively) terrible first few episodes, I would have missed out on a lot of awesome. So I will stick with it. I have the same questions that you do, but I am willing to give it more of a chance. I think the show is good, but it's not great. Like I said, I trust Joss, and I think it will end up being great. I'm fully willing to accept that I may be proved wrong, but we'll see.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325660265824163553noreply@blogger.com
