The first half of the show almost had us switching back over to Flashpoint to bide our time until NUMB3RS, but the second half kinda-sorta redeemed itself. I'm not a die-hard Joss Wheedon fan by any means but it was worth checking out. We'll probably watch the next episode just to see if it builds a bit but, as of right now, the only characters I'm really interested in are the computer dude and the scarred-doctor.
It's always sad when the secondaries overshadow the mains.
