DRIVE

Well after watching the season premier of DRIVE I find myself drawn into another appealing action/drama with a complex storyline similar to LOST and HEROES. The idea of the race itself is a bit hard to grasp but since there is a plot element that suggests that the Race has been around for decades adds some interesting depth to the premise. Nathan Fillion as Alex is the perfect lead actor. After watching and enjoying Firefly I realize that Nathan had a lot to do with why the show was so great. DRIVE ought to do well in the current genre shows filled with strange mysteries and schemes. I've found a new show for Monday night. :-)

Comparing DRIVE to Cannonball Run is like comparing LOST to Gilligan's Island........

Yes! Yes! A thousand times Yes! Dead freaking on. I've watched two episodes of Drive and find almost nothing in common with Cannonball Run. Heck it has more in common with Gone In Sixty Seconds to be fair.

Comparing DRIVE to Cannonball Run is like comparing the Mediterranian Grill to McDonalds.

It was a purely topical comparison to be sure, did I mention I didn't bother to watch it?
And don't get me started on that pile or crapola known as Lost.

Well CZ. There is only so much time available during the week to watch television. You can't watch it all. I know you devote a lot of your allotted time to BG and SG stuff.
I'm a fan of LOST. I've watched it from the beginning and though not every episode is filled with suspense and intrigue I am thoroughly hooked on the show. Same is true for HEROES and now DRIVE. I guess you have to be up for uninterrupted viewing since if you miss and episode you can end up quite disoriented.
To each his own. :-)

Yep I agree, Lost and heroes are definately absorbtion type deals, I've been watching heroes but I must admit I'm a bit lost on that one as it is, and I have probably missed 1 or 2 episodes at most.

I tried watching lost the first couple episodes and I fell asleep the second time about 10 minutes into it,...that was the deciding moment for me LOL.

watched the last half of Drive last night,...looks like it could be interesting, actually it was worth the watch just to see and hear that Challenger.

Well I guess DRIVE wasn't meant to be. I just read an article that confirmed the show was cancelled. That was quick. I guess it cost a lot to produce and FOX didn't want to waste a ton of money. Nathan Fillion can't catch a break. :-(

Comparing Nathan Fillian's hard luck with DRIVE being cancelled to Nathan Fillian's hard luck with Firefly being cancelled is like comparing Nathan Fillian's hard luck with DRIVE being cancelled to Nathan Fillian's hard luck with Firefly being cancelled .
