(that's where I found your post) But he does have taste that differs from mine...so who knows what's going on there.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps "Vanished" fits a need I have right now for a conspiracy-type show...lots of the other new shows this year just don't grab my interest at all..."Kidnapped" sounds too much like "Without a Trace" and reminds me of that movie "Ransom." The "Six Degrees" thing just sounds lame-o. As does the courtroom drama with ex-Alias star, Victor Garber. I'm sick of courtroom dramas. And I don't quite understand the premise for "The Nine," even though it has been getting high marks. What the heck is it about now??<BR/><BR/>"Vanished" is entertaining, smart, exciting...and fills a void for me since "24" won't be back until January. Very similar-type show.K J Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023089365553324315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-1156340309492331982006-08-23T09:38:00.000-04:002006-08-23T09:38:00.000-04:00Thanks for checking in, Kristin! After talking ov...Thanks for checking in, Kristin! After talking over the episode with a co-worker this morning (who saw it last night), maybe it does have a chance. After all, this is the year where movie critics got stymied by audiences who didn't care what they said, so maybe the same might happen to TV critics.<BR/><BR/>But 'Heroes' will be up against 'Vanished' once the World Series is over. So I'm not sure if this show can keep this comic book geek in its thrall once the 'Heroes' come along.<BR/><BR/>But at least for the next month, I'll be there.<BR/><BR/>And I made a big mistake in checking out your blog before having breakfast. Everything I have in the Toobworld larder pales in comparison to those breakfast menus!Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-1156339637756374602006-08-23T09:27:00.000-04:002006-08-23T09:27:00.000-04:00Toby, I'm glad I found your review of "Vanished." ...Toby, I'm glad I found your review of "Vanished." I really enjoyed the pilot. I am not sure what all these critics are watching...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think FBI guy was a little wooden, a little 2-dimensional, but it's a pilot...introducing a lot of characters. I think it will get better as we watch.<BR/><BR/>I absolutely LOVED the show. Thought it was gripping, the mystery compelling, most of the characters behaved like real people. <BR/><BR/>Don't you want to know why the missing woman's was known as "Nicky" and how she could be pregnant, if medically that is impossible? Who is this woman? Why is she gone? And did the daughter's boyfriend kill the 'fake' concierge? Or someone else?<BR/><BR/>I want to find out all of these things.<BR/><BR/>I think we will only get to know Ming Na's character and her partner's character even better as the mystery deepens.K J Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023089365553324315noreply@blogger.com
