I took this off my Tivo queue halfway through episode 2. While it looks beautiful, the characters are stiff and unimaginative and have some of the worst dialogue I have heard in a long long time. Scott Caan, who is a terrific actor, gets the worst of it with his Danno character. It comes off as a caricature of the real Scott Caan and every cookie cutter action hero ever written.

Alex O'loughlin is not convincing as a naval officer, especially a SEAL. The giant arm tattoos alone would have made it difficult for him to be a SEAL let alone advance to the rank of Lt. Commander. His character is too impulsive by half. Someone also needs to hip the costumer that there is a difference between a Royal Australian Navy Uniform and a United States Navy Uniform (look at the pilot, O'Laughlin is wearing commonwealth uniform altered to look like an American uniform.)

I really wanted this show to be good and it isn't. It is all sizzle and no steak.

My favorite line in Tootsie? When Bill Murray look at Dustin Hoffman after the soap actor leaves and simply says: "Youuuu slut!"

A point of grammar. It should read; Sean Penn Is Neither a Smart Man, Nor a Patriot.

As it reads now, it is a passive headline with an agreement issue. Other than that, it is a great article! Sean Penn is a foolish twit.

Ban Mining! Let the bastards freeze in the dark!
