It feels like there's less of a difference between Brian on NZT and off it than there was with Eddie on and off it in the movie. Perhaps it's less effective because his scatter-brained nature hampers him even while he's on it (like the fact he had to be reminded that at 9pm, the drug would already have worn off). That's also probably why he was chosen by Eddie in the first place - after all, if he wants to stay top dog, he has to be careful to only give the drug to people who are going to be less smart than him even while on it.
It also seems like sometimes the 'insights' Brian has aren't that brilliant, really (I mean, I noticed the intern slip-up as well), though I do like that Rebecca also figures out a lot of stuff because she's just smart on her own plus knows more about certain things than Brian does. And of course, there's that whole Sherlock Holmes problem where the evidence lines up exactly so that Brian is always right despite the fact that in reality, nothing is ever that easy no matter how smart you are (e.g. the whole eye mutation thing, or the fact that he just happened to watch the Winter Olympics as a child).
Not enough character development for the supporting roles so far. Hoping for improvement.
Does NZT make you lucky? Because the dude sure seems lucky finding clues. It's like he's playing a detective game on easy difficulty. For example, who kills someone and goes to the crime scene when the police are there? and GETS pictured in the picture, and what kind of picture was that, the police NEVER take than angle with bystanders showing. That and plenty plotholes.
Well, I got say that not just this episode but the whole series it's an awesome piece of work. It surprised me mostly because I haven't seen the movie before and the concept of the series was awesome, is awesome in fact. The episode itself got its way to go with things that makes you follow the whole story for the whole 40 minutes without even noticing time is going and when it ends, you feel like you're needing more of this NZT adventure. It's worth it every minute.(via TV Blaze for WP)
Been enjoying the show, but this episode was just really ...bad. It had sloppy and lazy writing written all over it. Really? You really want to play that "ohhh the one who got away" to... make it interesting? Then have the laziest and most boring conversations, make their relationship or whatever entirely implausible, portray their connection that's supposedly so important, as hollow...
Please next time, spare us that incredible bore. That episode was a waste of my time. Too much eyerolling to enjoy.
Hope they pick up.
I.D.K Technologies. Whoever put that in the episode is awesome.
Umm already arrived at the arc, hmm
I would actually watch that "The Legend of Marcos Ramos" movie.
