The Nine

WOW! Now, this is show!!! Rarely do you see a premiere episode of such high quality, no wonder it was on most critics "Must See" lists. I can't wait to see what happens next.

How great is it to see Bailey (Scott Wolf) back on TV? And he comes on right after his big brother Charlie's show (that would be Lost, of course, starring Matthew Fox). If you're not familiar with my name references, you need to start subscribing to Netflix pronto because if you've never watched Party of Five, you are really missing out.

So, Scott Wolf's character Jermey, we now know has split up with his pre-robbery girlfriend Lizzie on the show, who is pregnant with his child. Why did she break up with him? We haven't been told yet, something happened during the bank robbery that caused her to break up with him. I am kind of thinking it is something along the lines of the gunmen were about to shoot or something else pretty objectionable and when Jeremy had the chance to protect or shield someone he got in front of Camille Guaty's character Franny instead of protecting his girlfriend at the time Lizzie (don't know her name yet - and the Imdb information on the show is surprisingly slim - they don't even list Scott Wolf, Kim Raver, or Tim Daly as being part of the main cast). Lizzie girl, if this is the case, I completely understand, it would piss me off too!

I am loving the chemistry between Audrey (played by Kim Raver - it will take some time for me not to refer to her by her name on 24) and Tim Daly on the show. I like where that is going for sure. I hope his life was changed enough by the bank robbery that he gives up his gambling addiction, but let's be for real, this is TV, so that is highly unlikely since it will make for good internal conflict for Tim's character, and it would also be unrealistic, gambling, like almost any addiction, is very hard to kick.

P.S. It is nice to see Tim Daly on a show that will likely be a hit. His other show, Eyes, which was an ABC mid-season replacement in 2005 and very critically acclaimed, never should have been canceled, so it's great to see him in a great new show. One of his co-stars from Eyes, Eric Mabius (for those who watched Eyes - that would be the guy whose ear was shot off), has also found a new home on Ugly Betty.
