Hee, your timing on that comment was perfect! I saw your post right when I signed on to post about Reilly- it was, like, cosmic, dude. ;) And the show's totally worth a watch, if only for young, slightly scary, very gorgeous, very proto-James-Bondian Sam Neill. *g* I mean, the rest of it is good too, but it's very much SN's show. Which gets no complaints from me.
JO'C's performance was amazing, and ML was completely wasted and the role was amazingly boring.
ITA and ITA. There was so much build up for ML's appearance that I was expecting something interesting and dramatic and touching... and what we got was so disappointing. Drab writing, drab acting, nothing that couldn't have been done by any hack actor on any generic show. And more Jack-angst, because that's always such a good thing. rolls eyes. It just seemed wasteful. And then there's Jerry, who acts his little heart out (and kept making me think, oh no, Woody's snapped! Poor baby! Well, now he'll have a chance at Lily, if not so much Jordan *bg*), and who gets no glory. If I do buy S2, this episode will be one of the few reasons why. Poor, poor Jerry.
I'm about three weeks behind on WaT right now 'cuz I just can't seem to make myself care about it any more. *sigh* I hate it when good shows not only go bad, but crash and burn and take out the whole planet along with them.
Dude, no kidding. It's moved from "watched with bated breath" to "have on in the background while reading LJ, because finding a CD to put in seems like work." All that brilliant S1 potential, Etch-A-Sketched away in favor of boring cases and soap opera melodrama. It's practically criminal! And yet the ratings are great, because people's tastes are very odd, so TPTB pat themselves on the back. Tragic. So tragic.
(yay, Yuletide! Must finish watching episodes... *g*)
