re: Counterpart - Starz

I got the same impression. It definitely seems liked they had targets to kill or people to avoid killing. I'm eager to see the finale this weekend and get some answers.

Was waiting for the first season to finish so that I could start it and watch it all over a few days. Just finished the first episode, and I already know I’m gonna love it. There’s levity in there too which I wasn’t expecting. Looks like it’s going to be a very fun ride. Oh and they closed out the first episode with one of my all time fav soul tracks, James Carr’s “The Dark End of the Street.”

I honestly thought for the longest that Aldrich was involved with the fanatics and Pope in some way, and that he would come out of left field in the final episode, but was surprised he wasn't. And for all of his wisdom and his calculated, chess-moving style, he still got bled out and never saw it coming. Cyrus being impulsive and getting himself whacked surprised me as he usually kept his emotions in check. Glad to see Baldwin made it out fine. Didn't care for her character much at all but she grew on me over the season and the actress did a really good job of showing an emotional, weary side to the assassin's life.

As much as I tried to figure out how the season would end, they still managed to leave me completely surprised, which is usually pretty hard for lack of great shows. I watched a few post-episode commentaries from the guy who is the creator and he seems really smart and capable of seeing a bigger picture, so I think this show has a huge chance of being extremely well done after all is said and done.

Fun fact: Learned the other day that Emily Silk is the same chick who told Kevin Costner, "I want yo baby" in The Postman. Her real name is Olivia Williams. I remember her being one of the first times I saw nudity in a movie and enjoying it, was 10ish at the time,
