Touched by a red thread

There are a few things that I need to mention here but after the decadent day I have had I need to pull something slightly substantive out of it.

Last night I came home late from a local production of Noises Off, which was really good, sat down to the computer and started downloading some TV eps from iTunes. While I was on I decided to check and see what was being offered for free. The pilot for FOX's Touch was listed among them. I thought, "For free, I'll give it a go."

All I can say is Oh My God! This is a show brought to you by Tim Kring. This is the same guy that brought us Heroes.

The Touch pilot was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! If it can keep up this level of complexity, intelligence, and suspense it will be one of the best shows ever aired on broadcast television.

This show is built on the premise that everything and everyone is connected and there are some of us, kids, that have evolved enough to be able to see these connections, to make sense of the chaos, and be able to effect these connections in a way to make the world better. This show just has such a good heart, despite all the bad.

I was literally yelling at the TV. I never yell at the TV. I can't remember the last time I got this wound up over a story. It was like, you saw it happening and you couldn't believe it. It was stellar! I think I have found myself another Monday TV show!
