Title: Intelligence

Saw the pilot last night on DVR; went in expecting to be woefully disappointed and I must say I was slightly impressed.  The show worked pretty well as a cyborg-sherlock show.  Ory impressed me also, and I expected drivel from her.  She may be more talented then I think people realize and so far the dynamic between her and Holloway seems to work.

I mostly enjoyed the tech. use mixed with the crunch of solving "complex" problems. You wont like it if you're not interested in brain teasers (with a fair bit of parallel thinking) and plot-solving.

Loved seeing Billingsly (Neelix from ST:V) and Kako (O'Brien's wife; ST:TNG) again; especially Billingsly, who for this role might just work perfectly (assuming he's recurring).

Every time I see an ad for this show I think of the computer from Team America and crack up.

I dropped after 20 minutes, half due to boredom and half due to being tired.  I felt like Holloway's character was pretty flat, and the exposition meter was off the charts, which I normally forgive.  Do you feel it got stronger as the hour went along?

Billingsly is in the credits, so I assume he is going to be sticking around.

I watched the whole thing but when the traitor was revealed, it kind of lost me. I wanted to like it because I like Holloway, but Helgenberger left me cold and I didn't really care much about the long-game plot with the wife. I took it off the DVR.

Every time I saw an advert for this show I kept thinking it looked too much like Chuck with all the fun sucked out of it.

Watching the pilot right now. Technology doesn't make sense even allowing for sci-fi fudging.

Watched it, found it fairly 'meh'. Also, couldn't get the Canadian show of the same name out of my head while watching it (despite them being vastly different). Man, I miss that show. Damn politics for killing a show that good.
