Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Detective Robert Dershowitz looks up Robert Eps in the Subject Search database, he finds no records for Eps prior to November, 2006. He says, "According to this, he's a guy who didn't exist until he showed up in New Mexico 13 years ago." The episode is presumably set in 2009, the show having never established that it takes place in the future, meaning 2006 is only three year prior. more
Quotes:
Mary Shannon: [approaches the detective she got into a fight with] Wow, looks like someone kicked the crap out of you.
Detective Roxanne Lewis: [pause] You hit like a girl.
Mary Shannon: Thanks... you too.

The show up to this point had its flaws, but overall was enjoyable and, importantly, *consistent*. Listen, writers: you establish a character by showing how they behave in various situations. And while this show is still new and the characters are still being developed, Mary sleeping with the witness is *so* out of character with what's been established so far. As soon as I saw that in the promos, I had a bad feeling. If you had at least built it up a little, but instead you fall back on a cliché. And from there it goes from cliché to cliché to cliché. Five squad cars pulling up, sirens blazing, guns drawn, full Kevlar and handcuffs...to pick someone up for *questioning*? Not even an arrest? With absolutely zero evidence? The lawyers would be lining up to try that lawsuit.

Hopefully you'll get back on track next week. The preview looks interesting. Learn your lesson from this, and don't do anything like it again.
