I can't believe there is not a thread on this show. Last night was the first episode and it was fantastic. I am not sure if the episode is on NBC.com but it was fantastic. Christian Slater was great.

BTW, when Henry is in Edward's apartment and he selects a baseball game form the Tivo menu, did anyone notice who was playing? ASU.

Only have watched the first episode. Seems like they were trying to cram to much in. I am going to watch the next one tonight. Show has much potential I think.

I love seeing an actor in a different role - like Mike O'Malley from "Yes, Dear" being the co-worker/co-spy. :thumbup:

I really like this show. Slater is awesome.

Some premise things that bother me if I let myself dwell on them, though:

1. They'd never keep this guy alive once he became "broken."

2. And they most certainly wouldn't keep sending him on missions. At least make sure that Henry is briefed before Edward goes "live" so that if Henry wakes up at least he knows what he's supposed to do.

3. While the "experiment" in pretty cool, what purpose does it serve? Is Edward really safer as blissfully unaware Henry? I'd think the opposite is true--if Edward just pretended to live the boring suburban life at least if his cover is blown when his enemies come after him he'll be able to take care of himself.

4. I have to believe they'd be keeping closer tabs on Edward when he "sleeps"--even before he became broken. And, now that he's not right in the head, they'd have a man on him 24/7.

But, like I said, I just try not to think about those things and I like the show a lot.

i think its funny how Edward sleeps with Henerys wife. That's gotta hurt.

I have only seen the first episode but I hope they play that up. I would like to see them taking shots at each other. That would be a fun angle to play up between them. Which sounds weird because they are the same person. :D

In the last episode after waking up with his wife telling him how amazing the previous night was, Henry looked at his hand and on it was written "You're welcome."

Cracks me up.

Not sure about this show yet...the first 2 episodes were pretty good but I wonder how long they can keep this going before it gets old.

I like Christian Slater though, he's a cool actor.

i love it edward buys a dress for 2000 Henry's excuse is he thought it was 200. looks like things are going to get complicated with tom and his wife. The thing i didnt like was edward bought the fridge and Henry still tries to turn himself in. i guess he only did that for the saftey of his family though.

This show better last. CS has a "movie star" presence he adds to this show. Plus things are getting more interesting the more they try and hide "Edward" is broken. Can't wait for next episode.

PS. Love that they are playing up the differences between the two of them. That's what I wanted to see.
