Back Talk: ABC's "Six Degrees"

While I reviewed the original pilot of ABC's new drama Six Degrees here, what did you think of last night's premiere?

Have we seen too many of those random strangers bound by a web of chance or fate series? Do you prefer Campbell Scott with silver hair? What in the name of J.J. Abrams is in Mae's box? (Please don't let it be a pocket-sized Scotsman with a numbers-fixation.)

Share your back talk in this thread and tell me what you *really* think. (Come on, don't be shy.)

Campbell Scott looks GREAT with the silver. :)

I don't think there's really anything that original about the show but the cast is excellent and interesting enough to get me to tune in to the second episode which will hopefully be more engaging.

Going to watch it... right after I watch Grey's Anatomy.

Wasn't _going_ to watch it, but I seem to be on a binge when it comes to this season of TV, so I'll give it a chance.

But I'm hesitant.

(Then again, I was hesitant about Studio 60 on the Sunset strip; then again, that's because I think it has a bad name.)

JJ Abrams is pretty bloody amazing when it comes to his TV shows -- ok, Alias petered out BIG TIME, but I give the first 3 seasons props -- but the "everybody is connected" thing ... isn't it overdone now? Isn't it being done with LOST?

I'll be back. :)

Boring.

Boring, boring, and more boring.

Got no attachment whatsoever to any of the characters, and don't care what's in the box.

Ah well. Not like I'm not already watching enough.

Seems to be the trend of the season is GREAT CASTS, Okay show . Not terrible (I think with our high standards now, everything seems not as good when its not perfect within the first episode but we have to give things time) but not a homerun either.
