Soooo...this is pretty much going to be a gender-swapped Bones with novels instead of forensic anthropology, isn't it? Right down to the rich civilian-who-can't-stay-put and the bad rock music at the end. Not to mention the rampant UST and amusing bickering.

I can live with that. It's weird to see Nathan Fillion playing sleazy, though.

The kid is unbelievably precocious, but I still like her. The mother reminds me of Mommy Adler on Will & Grace.

Did they pay royalties to Alan Ball for the bit with the roses at the beginning?

I also watched some of the promo material abc.com has on Cupid, and...I dunno, y'all. I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this. Bobby Cannavale was not holding a candle to Jeremy Piven in the stuff they had up there. Maybe it'll be better in context.

Maybe they will do something slightly original with the concept down the line?

That'd be nice. If not... eh, this could be amusing for a season or two.

I still can't get through more than a few seconds of that, sorry.

You are missing out on some prime Nathan Fillion material, ma'am!

Oh, dear.

He played a sociopathic, misogynistic, fundamentalist preacher. And that was the Big Bad for almost a whole season. There was facepalm to be had.

Yes! And wasn't the sock-sliding scene adorable?

Baby bird!!

Yeah. I can always use brain candy to distract me from grad school.

I just. can't. do. it. I don't know why.

Nathan Fillion is a welcome distraction in (almost) anything!

Did you have a cheesy-musical-theater-love-otomy as a child??

UM.

There was a vague supernatural element as well, but... most of it was just him being all, "Hey, look at my ridiculously stereotypical misogyny! Aren't I a great straw-man for feminism?? Who needs subtle villains?" Grrrrrrr. Especially coming right after some of the best villains of the series. Hmph.

I think maybe yes?

Sadness.
