3...2...1 We're all counting down. I thought I'd already prepare the thread for our episode discussion. Is it obvious that I'm becoming very impatient? ;D EDIT:

How can you have a hard time?! ;D If I could receive ABC, there was no choice, 1choice, 1 channel, 1 important day in the week! Close windows and doors and turn on your tv, shut off my house-phone, mobile phone, turn off my pc and get the batteries out of my doorbell

I'm still back in the dark ages and use a VCR. It's all set up and ready to record TWT. I've also informed everyone in my household that if they shut off the VCR, I'll kill them with my bare hands. Is that a bit over the top, I don't think so! I can hardly wait to watch the tape tomorrow!

So what did everyone think?
Here are my thoughts: 1. I loved how Jerry Bruckheimer was re-tweeting our tweets throughout the show - that was really fun and interactive. 2. Maura looked great! Her clothes suited her, her voice sounded sexier than ever, and I loved her comebacks/witty remarks. She was really fun while being very professional at the same time. Good writing mixed with good acting. 3. I don't know what all of the critics are talking about - I LOVED it. The fast-pace of the show makes it more intriguing to watch. I felt like I was part of the case, or actually in their offices trying to keep up. I liked it a lottt. 4. Maura kicked butt. She knew he was a guilty guy, and she nailed it. Loved this episode a lot!

I think it was pretty good. Obviously Maura was amazing...I am truly impressed by her acting abilities with every new show I see her in. However, if this show is going to make it, it needs some work. Here are my thoughts:
1. It jumped back and forth way too much for my taste. I didn't realize that the previews and commercials were what the show would actually be like. I just felt like it was a bit choppy.
2. Rob was pretty good; I think he did a good job and he and Maura worked well together
3. It bugged me that they didn't follow the right procedures for law. As a lawyer I am kind of picky about TV shows, and they never show things right. The thing that bothered me the most is the Asian characters that Peale mentioned in her closing argument. You can't introduce new evidence in the closing; it is only for reiterating what has already been said. I know shows do this kind of thing all the time...but it's a pet peeve of mine.
4. I really did not like how they replayed bits of video at the end, as if we forgot they just said those things five minutes ago. I would rather hear their arguments alone, without the extra video.
Basically, I agree with most of the critics. Maura was great, the rest needs a bit of work. Obviously I would watch it even if it completely sucked, bc Maura is in it. However, it was pretty good and has the potential to be great!

I liked it. Rob's different accents were bothering me & I had a lot of trouble making out the the character scar in the photo they kept showing, but other than that, it was a solid pilot. They've got my viewership for the foreseeable future. I hope they're going to add a title sequence later when they've got more footage to use.

Did you guys know you can live chat during the episodes? Here's the link (sorry if it's been posted somewhere else already...I just found it): abc.go.com/shows/the-whole-truth/chatI wish I could comment now but I think it's only during the actual episodes. I'll do that next week! Oh, and thanks Fe for posting where to watch it live online...I don't normally have access to live TV so I am completely excited to find that!
