Covert Affairs - USA - Page 3

Good show. Very entertaining.

Caught up with the show again.  It has been very entertaining.  I am glad we didn't see Auggie try to jump from the train.

Loving it!  CA is going to run into that interesting problem where the lead is not the most interesting character.  They need to figure out how to make Auggie be a bigger player in the show because he is the most engaging character on the show.

I am enjoying this show as well, as I getting caught up on the show, which I think, is like Alias, with the light-heartedness of Chuck.

I always remember Pirabo as the FBI agent in the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie, and the line "he's a flying squirrel, he'll manage!"

I mainly remember her from Lost and Delirious, where she was in (and out of) a schoolgirl uniform and Jessica Pare's bed. 

I have definitely added Covert Affairs to my must see list. Along with Burn Notice, Psych, White Collar, In Plain Site and Royal Pains USA Network has really raised the bar for what a high level of production, story telling and acting can do for a network.

All I can say is keep doing what you are doing and we will keep watching.

I agree with this.  The Auggie character is the most interesting and the most potential backstory.

FYI Universal will be announcing Covert Affairs Season 1 is coming to DVD on 5/17

This show was awesome in HD.  I'll be supporting it, should it come out on Blu-ray.

This is back on Tuesday, June 7.

At little info.  Last season was the Led Zeppelin season, with all episodes taking their titles from Led Zeppelin song titles.  This is the REM season.  First three: Begin the Begin, Good Advices, Bang and Blame.

I didn't know that. Do you ever see the show title anywhere? Being an R.E.M. fanatic, it's very interesting.

Not onscreen, but on the DVR information and online guides like http://www.epguides.com/CovertAffairs/ .  Also, the DVDs should have them (assuming this show gets DVD releases).  I love when shows do this.

I found the guide for the month of June, and the last one is a very obscure song that I don't think was ever released called "All the Right Friends".

The title is usually there on the DVR guide when it is in the timer and of course it should be on the show site.

Cougar Town uses Tom Petty songs for all of its show titles.

Interesting.  I'm looking forward to season 2.  USA is about the only station I watch in the summer

The pilot episode of Covert Affairs was a very good start to what I hope will be an entertaining, intelligent spy series. Was never that interested in Alias, but this series has got me more interested. But on the other hand, Alias was on a long time ago (it feels like it). Plenty of action and brainy scenes (this show, based on just seeing the pilot episode, is a mixture of entertainment and making you think stuff).

Have I read right (on the web) that some filming may be done in Europe, and that there may be a crossover with White Collar?

Three episodes in and Covert Affairs is turning out to be both entertaining and refreshing. Hope they can do the White Collar crossover at some point. Christopher Gorham (who played Mr. Shiny White Teeth in Harper's Island), despite doing that at times annoying grin, is one of the best things about the show.

Still entertaining this first season of Covert Affairs. Latest episode was an Auggie-centric story, involving espionage and a chase on a train. And assuming the view of the outside from inside the train was CGI'd...it didn't look fake. Add in the shots of the train outside, and the thrilling fight inside Auggie's train cabin (reminding me a bit of Bond and Red Grant's fight in From Russia with Love (1963), and this was one of my favourite episodes so far. New episodes resume in the New Year.

I wonder what band's song titles will be featured in season three?

Greg, I feel the same way about the show. I never look forward to watching it, but I'm always glad I did. To me, it's just a very light sort of show that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Really (the channel which premieres Covert Affairs in the UK) showed the last two episodes on the same night, as the USA Network did. Both episodes were never dull, however I found teh penultimate episode better than the season finale (some storytelling cliches, and Gregory Itzin playing another villain).

The second season starts next week. Hopefully they will show all 16 episodes in one go, rather than breaking the season into two parts.

Covert Affairs is a show I look forward to seeing each week. Hardly been disappointed by the second season so far.

Is there a good chance there could be a crossover with White Collar?
