CBS is gonna be hoppin' with Stalker types between this show and CSI: Cyber, isn't it?

 

Also, a car exploding in the trailer certainly shows this show isn't ducking cliches.  

 

Maggie No Last Name certainly landed on her feet quick.  Despite this seeming procedurally generic in some ways (if it wasn't for that bit, right up front, with Maggie Q's character going rogue on some Stalker ass), this is the kind of show that (assuming it doesn't get a bad time slot) tends to succeed really well on CBS, ratingswise I mean.

Looking forward to this show.  Think it's going to be "Must see TV" for me, as I like the premise and I love Dylan McDermott.

 

Question re: trailer.  So in the first clip the stalkee jumps into the SUV, as the stalker holds up the car keys, I'm assuming to let her know she has no means of escape. However, when he throws a match on the car the car starts moving backwards.  Huh? Did I miss something?

Well, my car will start if the keys are within range of the car - they don't have to go in the ignition slot. I'm not sure what the range is, but if somebody tried that with me I'd push the starter button just on the off chance it would work.

 

Or she could've just released the brakes and let it roll.

Ah, ok.  Thanks Jamoche.  I just have a regular car, one without a starter button, so I didn't know that's how they work.

The scene makes more sense to me know.

Of all the new pilot trailers I saw, this is the show I was most excited about. It's funny because my tolerance for anything creepy/scary is pretty low so I may be watching this one on bright, sunny Saturday mornings with all the blinds open and doors locked but...it looks like it will be really good. I loved Maggie Q in NIkita and Dylan M has always been one of my movie/tv boyfriends so I am all in for this show and can't wait for fall!

Let's if this starring the yummy Dylan lasts!

Seriously, was The Practice his first and last successful show? I'm not even going to get into the horror of that other show.

Gonna check this out for Maggie Q. I still miss Nikita.

 

Aaaand I just saw the Elisabeth Rohm thread and my anticipation pretty much plummeted.

Dylan was on that horrible TNT show about undercover cops. I am hoping this is going to much, much better. I think I am going to have to watch this during the day as well. It looks really scary.

Rohm was really good in American Hustle and I was one of the 4 people in the world who liked her on Angel, so that doesn't phase me. I am more worried about the show turning into torture porn like 90% of the CBS line-up.

It's almost embarrassing to me that I'm so hyped for this show but what can I say?!?  I LOVE Dylan McDermott and his bedroom eyes, and I'm a fan of Maggie Q too, so I'm in.

Another one here watching this show for Dylan McDermott!  If it's as terrible as Hostages was, I'm in.  Lol.  I just wish Jacob and his recaps were around, because it just would have been so much fun.
