Re: Eli Stone: Season One
It didn't really grab me, but it doesn't have any real competition if E.R. is pretty much done with their episodes on Thursdays in this timeslot.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I enjoyed the show. I even liked the line where the woman with the autistic child said something like - "Yeah, he's yours, I was pregnant for eight years."

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
Probably in a normal television season, I wouldn't give this much of a second thought. But, I'll probably watch it, just because it's new and not annoying (Bionic Woman).

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I can't quite get fully engaged into this show. Some of it feels like it wants to be Ally McBeal meets Highway to Heaven. I don't really like Johnny Lee Miller (plus that thing on his head needs co-billing), but it's nice to see Julie Gonzalo, even though in a more adult role showing a so-so comedic side to her. Natasha Henstridge is sort of wasted in this show, though they do take as many opportunities to get her in various states of undress.

In an ironic twist, Eli called Maggie "Veronica Mars".

Yeah, props for the VM reference directed towards Julie Gonzalo's character.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
So have people given up on this show or it's still watched but no one has anything to say about it?
The opening credits have the biggest, baddest bass I've ever heard on TV. It's stunning.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I have watched every episode. I realize the show is a bit "hokey", but I enjoy it.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
Finally caught up with this week's episode, and I think the show is finally settling into its groove, now that all of Eli's issues are out in the open, and the adjustments are being made.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
It's interesting that Eli figured out what everything involving the "Dragon" meant on his own, instead of turning to Shredder, I mean Dr. Chen for help as he usually does.
I was watching "The Mask Of Zorro" yesterday and it took me a while to realize that Eli's brother Nathan was in that film as the head-carrying Captain.

I can't see the previews after the show because of the Canadian simulcasting so I can't comment on that last part regarding next week, but I think that while some of the visions are too fantastic to be real, Eli can't help but physically react to them because even though he knows they aren't real, they are so life-like to him that he can't help it. A plane is flying towards you. Real or not, it looks like it can hurt you so it's instinctual that you would want to jump out of the way.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
A very interesting episode this past Sunday. I am glad they finally addressed the earthquake plotline. I will be curious to see how they will handle the collapse of the Golden Gate bridge in future episodes. This seems to be too big of an issue to ignore in the future, plus all the other devistations the earthquake would have caused to the buildings in San Francisco.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
Crap, I didn't know they were airing a new show on Sunday. I thought it was a re-run.

But it was a vision, and like the others it came true in its own way.
