An unusual dream disrupts Britten's ability to switch realities, and a mysterious man causes him distress;
It's going to be an interesting episode, that's for sure!

Yes, and this is a more-than-decent preview as well. (Warning: Prepare to jump!) And this time, I didn't have to dig around for it.

If you have Twitter, Facebook etc, try to spread this around. NBC doesn't care much about doing it themselves

Thanks, Thunder! Those are all great links. I scrolled through the past Leonard Chang blogs, too. Very nice. :D

AWESOME! Episode 1-11: Say Hello to My Little Friend

Post by BethMI » Thu May 10, 2012 10:03 pm

Oh my gosh! I am chomping at the bit because I can't say anything because it will give things away. So suffice to say this was one of the BEST episodes all season. The entire time I was going nuts in many different ways, crying, cheering at one point, and so much more. Jason does a phenomenal job of showing so much in movements and facial expressions. He is an amazing actor! They had better not cancel this show because it is GREAT!!!

P.S. They showed the preview for next week, and I really wish we were getting our two hours together because this is going to be one heck of a cliffie next week if May 24th is the two last episode of the season.

OMG. I cried. He made me cry. There are dead tissues every where. I don't know if I can handle more of this emotional rollercoaster if he does this for the last two shows. :-(

He also made me cringe a bit when he started acting a little nutty- I couldn't watch-I got embarrassed for Michael. I didn't know if I wanted to hug him to comfort him or shake him to make him stop being crazy.

I'm *almost* (almost, but not quite, maybe it's denial?) convinced that they made this show for one season only. :shock:

Jason said the season 1 finale will reveal the truth about the 'accident' but not about which reality is real.

I agree Jason was superb in this one. There are many tweeters calling for an Emmy for him. Wilmer tweeted that his
'partner' Jason Isaacs is honestly the best actor on TV for a LONG time. :D

Well, lets just say he IS the best actor on TV for a long time, Wilmer also sort of owes Jason for spotting him and pulling him into the cast when everyone else just thought he was only funny....I'd vote to give Jason an Emmy; and IF/when NBC announces they have a 2nd season, he'll get one (but for 1/2 a season, I don't think they give them out-sort of like Alan Rickman leaving Seminar, and ticket sales dropping off so badly, they canceled the show, and now Rickman won't get a Tony nod...) ln

It was a great episode. A lot more emotional htan the previous ones. We don't really see JI acting out emotions in that way very often. He deserves an Emmy, for sure (but not just for this episode, he's been carrying the whole series) :hands
