Friday is the second worst day for TV viewership (behind the dead zone that is Saturday) so it likely would get minimal interest. Since it's a serial people probably feel the need to see every episode and many wouldn't know its air on Friday and would miss it.

The second episode was a letdown, much worse than the pilot in my opinion. They could've at least spread the episode over a couple months in the year, rather than show just like one day. Not much developments happened either.
The revealing of Craig as the adult priest was good though. That cuts the 'whos dead' down to 4. Jenna said "In 20 years I'll probably be dead!" Because of that I don't think its her, as they wouldn't reveal it like that. My prediction: Cheryl Hines' character killed Sam.
The child of Sam will play a part as the years will go on, at the end she'll be full-out one of the leads.

The second episode was indeed a let-down. It was, dare I say it, boring? I knew who the priest was the entire time (thanks to Fox's poster for the show which gives it away) so that wasn't a surprise either. I will watch it again next week though and hope it gets moving a little more.

I'm just waiting for episode 5 (to see who's dead).
Eventhough I thought the premiere was better, I like the pacing in the second episode. It also gave a little more emphasis in the "present" storyline.

I found the second episode just a big timewaster. It just plodded along, and threw out all these ideas to see if any of them stuck and none did. How long are they going to stretch out this stupid Sam/Will/ and the other guy whose name I can't remember. It's not particularly interesting, and not at all creative, and just what is so special about Sam? I'm not seeing it. I think this has one more episode before I switch over to C.S.I.

Better episode this week, still not as good as the premiere though. The scenes from the November episodes look great though, so its on the way up. With the next episode being an Aaron episode most likely, it'll be off the Sam-Will heavy road that has been dragging it down. On that note he looks completley rad as an adult, he reminds me of Vincent in Collateral except even more refined. I like how he began as a shy virgin loser in high-school and evolved into a powerful badass high-roller. I wanna see more.
Am I the only one who didn't realize until 40 minutes through that the priest was Will, not Craig? I should've recognized the name, its surprising because he looks like a perfect old Craig. And with Craig being a charity hyper, it would've fit. I guess the hair threw me off.

So the powerful business man is the one who had the hots for the actress girl, right? He looks so different it's confusing. Plus, I kind of missed a little of the end of the episode so any help would be appreciated. It's important to note though that the ep. on the whole seemed much better than the previous one which was rather dull and uneventful.

Yep, thats Aaron, the original loser. He changed quite a bit as its obviously seen. So that cuts the 'WHOS DEAD?' down to three: Craig, Jenna, Sam. It might be Jenna, though I'm sticking with them twisting us and not going by the foreshadowing 'In 20 years I'll probably be dead' line. But by being the least developed and used character, it makes her the prone choice to die. That way the 5 adults we have are all intense and worked over, to create the most connection.

Thanks. It seems that Aaron did end up starting his own business, which was referenced earlier in the episode.
I predict that the one who was killed is either Sam (Jealousy) or Craig (killed by Will because of Sam). I've heard rumors that it's finally revealed who died in episode 5. Then all that will remain is who did it which I don't expect to be revealed until the final episode. On the whole, I think that the series will get better as it gets closer to solving the murder. I also expect episode 5 to be an especially good episode seeing as how someone supposedly dies during it.

Yeah. Since neither Craig or Sam has been shown yet, and most of the attention has been on them/Will, the logical choice would be that one of them is dead. And I don't see Jenna having enough implications to be killed.
I think one of the next adult characters to be introduced will be Anna, the child, as a adult now.

I haven't watched this show in a while, but I have to give the writers props for that switcheroo they did between Jenna and Sam tonight. Pretty crafty. My original guess for the victim was Sam and looks like I was right.

Hmm, pretty good episode tonight. Alot better than the last couple they did. They've seemed to have gotten past the overdramatic heavy-background-music parts a bit. Seeing Clara/Chyler Leigh take her first transformation steps from bouncing bumpkin to stone-cold tortured bitch was great. The twist was nifty as said.

Yep, last night's ep. was surprisingly good. They had me fooled with that switcheroo.

I suppose the next present day characters we'll be meeting are the kids. Anna should be 18-ish, and the new one should be in the 14 year old area. Hurray for angsty teenagers.

Decent episode once again. I want to know what kind of conspiracy the remaining friends cooked up.

Hehe. Nice to see Jenna interacting with Will, for being friends, I thought they'd never have long scenes together.
HAHAHA Ames from Dark Angel!!! (Edit: And he's supposed to have the hots for Will in two weeks!!! YAY! lol  )

Pretty good episode, the Carla storyline being the highlight. Now at least we know why she turned out to be such a bitter bitch in the present.
