*Agrees with Teddy*
The script-writing was fresh and the characters more authentic than I'd expected. Nobody deluge me with spoilers, PLEASE, but I'd bet that 'reflection-girl' turns bad.

hey this show was great, cast & crew were awsome. loving it, can't wait for next monday.

i noticed first episode was Genesis, like from the bible book, and some of the characters in the show had bibilcal names like Peter, Nathan, Micha & Issac and eden. i thought this may have just been a coincidence, so i looked up the creator Tim Kring on the net, and apparently he had a bachelor and arts degree in religious studies. so it kinda makes you wonder if he's got some biblical background going on here.
