So, how many of you are still watching? I am. The acting is terrific, the pace is generally mind-blowing and I love how they matter-of-factly toss in a shocker here and there - two lesbian terrorists share a real kiss; an injured teen is shot up with heroin to ease her pain; Jack slices off a bad guy's finger for identification purposes; a gay prostitute gives a business man a blowjob (okay, that was just implied, but still). Apparently ratings for the FOX show haven't been as through-the-roof as they had anticipated and there was talk of cancellation; happily, that won't be happening. I came across a pretty neat review of the show tonight - Sean Weitner of Flakmag.com is doing real-time reviews of the show, written as he watches. They're fun because he combines an informed perspective with an average joe response to the action and characters. And instead of making a summary judgment of the show based on a preivew episode or two, you can see his opinion develop as the show progresses. Neat idea.
