    "Slow" as in weak start. I'd agree with too much. As I said, it was mostly a clumsy dump of character information. Hopefully with that set up out of the way, it will get better.

    Not to get it confused that i disliked it because like i said i enjoyed it but in my opinion there was a lot of slow walking/movements with music playing to fill time. It served its purpose and introduced characters and set up a story line. Im happy with it but i did feel it could have been lets say 40 mins instead of an hour.

    I also watched a copy that the voice was off from the actions which could have just thrown things off a bit

    agreed, it was cluttered. i also dont think the extent of their criticsm is "lethargy" persay. but there are pacing issues that may or may not become more apparent later on..

    i just hope its more focused in future episodes

    who are you talking to re: "live posting"

    sounds you're just rambling 2 me

    She's never even been on my radar as an actor I care about in the least bit, but that article kind of made me a fan.

    There was this magazine cover s---t back around the time after The Notebook--Vanity Fair or Vogue--where she was supposed to be on the cover naked with Kiera Knightly and Scarlett Johansson but she didn't know that they wanted her to be naked when she agreed to it so when she showed up at the s---t and found out what the deal was, she walked out.

    I feel like that speaks volumes for her personality and that she is not the type to let Hollywood push her around or talk her into something she isn't comfortable doing, perhaps also in terms of being typecasted like the article suggests.

    this is the same thing i'm talking about. you can't pay attention.

    do you know what "live posting" means? then you know who was doing it. then you know who i'm talking to. it's simple.

    you're trying too hard narshie

    I was just thinking how these two episodes have been really bad and it's gonna be no where near the last season...which it still won't. But that was an interesting ending. Vaughn is also surprisingly good in his role

    to be fair the first season was the same...it really took until the 3rd or 4th episode to get interesting but it didn't seem forced like it does here. Just really annoys me that one guy has to pop a viagra to b--- that hot spanish chick

    That was definitely better than the first episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it... every character has a sense of mystery behind them that I'm interested in discovering. The character development has quite a lot of potential I believe. Don't really understand why the reaction to the show so far has been predominantly negative.

    Well he's confused about his sexuality or something.... the program has insinuated as much anyway. Or he's just not comfortable with sex in general. At least that's what I've gotten from it. Maybe he was r---d in his past or something. I'm not sure yet.
