Vanished

I started watching initially because it was right after "Prison Break" but then I got drawn in because I heard it was a "Da Vinci" code mystery with a Freemasons underpinning. I'm afraid I'm quite hooked now. Kidnapping dramas do little for me and normally are a bore, like the Jeremy Sisto show "Kidnapped" on NBC, but this one? I'm really sucked into it against my will.

Am I the only one?

Who else is transfixed by the incredibly bad changes in Pennelope Ann Miller? Who is transfixed by Rebecca Gayheart's odd look? Who wants to know more about the Civil War graveyard with both Confederate, Union *AND* Masonic graves?

And who else has a wee crush on Josh Hopkins, while simultaneously wanting to smack him across the face for being such a moron?

I'm watching it. I like the mystery, but the lead actor is really, really bad. I am hoping he dies soon, so I'll enjoy the show more.

Pennelope Ann Miller looks freaky, which upsets me because I LOVE The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag. I think Rebecca is an interesting actress. She's not very good, but I enjoy watching her on-screen. I wish she'd go back to curly hair though, she is not meant to have straight hair.

I think the writing's awful, and Ming Na and Rebecca Gayheart are bad actresses. I am only watching for the pretty Gale Harold brings, but I will not be watching much longer. I will not say any more so not to spoil it for those who prefer to remain unspoiled. The whole plotline is getting annoying. Normally the whole Masonic/mystery thing is something I'd really like, but the writing and casting is just not right for me.

I have tremendous Gale love from his QAF days - he and Randy Harrison are the only reason I watched all 5 seasons. I think he is a much better and subtler actor than he is given credit for, and I hope he finds projects more suited to him.

I watched the first episode and was really looking forward to the show because of the mason/religion/mystery aspect, but the acting was so painful that when something else was on at the same time the following week, I didn't bother to record it. I had planned on trying to catch up the next week, but now I've missed so much that it's probably not worth trying to get caught up.
