the forgotten- review

Dear Rupert Penry Jones,

First of all, you're hot and I loved you in Spooks and you're ridiculously sexy in Persuasion *squee* Sorry, moving on...

I just saw the first episode of "the forgotten." You know, that show that axed you after an unaired pilot when some douchey focus group said that you and the female lead weren't so hot (she wasn't, you're always steamy). And then they replaced you with Christan Slater fresh off of the nbc cancellation of his pretty good "My Own Worst Enemy." Remember? Um, well I saw the first epi and I would like to say... don't feel bad. This show's going to get canceled soon anyway. I mean maybe not real soon, but soon.

 Don't get me wrong, it's a good show and it definitely has potential. But it's one of those that takes the whole finding lost people premise a bit too seriously so that it somehow morphs into this self-righteous downer that you watch at first but then just start recording and only watch grudgingly when your dvr is full, not 'cause you like it or anything, just so that you can have the pleasure of deleting them. *cough*Warehouse 13*cough* It's just really not that serious.

However, I will say that Christian Slater wasn't that bad (even though you would have been better!) and Rochelle Aytes was gorgeous... um and a good actress too. I'm hoping for  a little hook up with those characters but I'm a realist, so optimism seems naive. Also, if they do hook up I'll always think of you Rupert because you're amazing and rock my socks. And I'm adult enough to admit that this letter just took a strange turn into the creepy...

Sorry,
