E-Ring

[billroper]

daisy_knotwise and I watched the premiere of E-Ring on NBC tonight. It's from Jerry Bruckheimer, who also is responsible for CSI, but is highly reminiscent of various series by Don Bellisario in that it shows the military in tough situations working to do the right thing. It has a strong line of tension -- no surprise in a Bruckheimer series! -- and an appealing group of characters. We definitely enjoyed the episode.

We'll probably watch it again and see how it grows on us. Of course, it's up against Lost, so many of you would need to queue up the VCR or Tivo...

After a bit of mental coin-flipping, I settled on Lost, which was its usual watchable, well-written, well-acted, frustratingly plot-stingy self.

Starting next week, though, I switch back to one of my favorites from last season, Veronica Mars.

I found it very Tom Clancy-ish (which is not a bad thing IMO)- high on action, situations which may or may not be in the realm of possibility. I can't watch CSI because too much of their "science" is really fiction.
