So I watched The Nine at the 10pm last night, not because I really wanted to, but because it was on after Lost, the batteries on my remote were dead, and I'm just that lazy.
Plus the commercial during Lost said it was the most anticipated new show of the season and who am I to argue with unsubstantiated marketing claims? I decided, if ABC said it, it must be true. Why would they lie about their own show?
Also I really like Lost and I figured if one guy from Party of Five can make a successful turn as a doctor in a show that airs on ABC Wednesday nights in prime time then they all can.
In this case it was the Leprechaun-esque Tom Cruise guy from Party of Five-a show I tried to watch once but had to switch off when I heard that little alien girl's voice. You know the one. She sounds like the midget from Poltergeist only about 32% more grating.
Anyway, some pretty effed up frak went down in a bank, I guess. They kind of skipped over 52 hours of material in one commercial break. I'm sure from the writer's point of view this makes it mysterious. From my point of view it was kind of annoying because it'll mean an entire season of flashbacks.
Anyway, nine people were shocked by this experience and brought together, including the principal from Boston Public on Rogaine, The Fugitive, and Doctor Phlox.
After whatever went down in the bank went down this one chick is eating bacon and eggs in her apartment and the Tom Cruise Mini Me Party of Five dude says to her while she's chomping a piece of nice crispy bacon: "What are you doing? You're a vegetarian."
Her reply went along the lines of a wistful: "I just wanted bacon."
The Nine - you're on notice!!!
(Not really. I'm cool with flexitarianism. It ain't no thang.)
So, um, did anyone else see this show? Thoughts? Opinions? Cancelled after three episodes?
Cheers!
