Anybody else catch the premiere tonight?  It's the new J.J. Abrams show, for those who don't know.

I thought the pilot was pretty good.  The production values were off the chart.  Anna Torv plays the lead role, and while it was nice to see her stripped down to her bra and panties a couple times, the fact that she seemed to only be able to cue up a "nervous" expression on her face through about 90% of the show was a little annoying.  Charlie Conway was also decent, although a majority of the episode he was responding with unfunny one-liners to anything his dad said.  All-in-all, I think it should turn out to be a pretty good show.  I'd assume it will be filled with the usual Abrams twists and turns and half-truths about everything.

Holy cats.  I'm only at the 60 minute mark, but I'll be amazed if this manages to last as long as "The Nine."

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but this is just the usual, classic Abrams TV show.

It lulled at times, and the end twist was a touch predictable, but it was certainly enjoyable.  A good kickoff to the series.  Hopefully they can better the pacing by cutting the airtime to 60 min.

I've started to think like this about all upcoming shows.

I usually just DVR the first few episodes and see if I like where it's going.

Emphasis on the 'y'.  It takes longer than two hours to whomp up a batch of LSD.  How this was supposed to synergize with everyone's favorite battlefield anesthetic, ketamine, completely eludes me (John Lilly reference notwithstanding).

I didn't make it to the end--the characters were just too flat for my taste.

I have one TV with TWO different VCRs.  Lets me lay down the radio call on the same tape with the TV broadcast in case of emergency.
