(S01E07) I think the shift to a more balanced blend of done-in-one cases and linear plotlines suits
Eli Stone well. And with the continuing emphasis on "The Adventures of Keith and Matt," and the case of the foul ball murdering baseball player, the show is developing more of an ensemble approach a la
Boston Legal, rather than just showcasing Eli and his problems. Even the visions faded to almost non-existence tonight, and I think the show got better because of it.
Finally, after tonight's episode I get the character of Maggie Dekker and see the potential in her. The one-dimensional "annoyingly optimistic naive new kid" is starting to develop some real personality as well as showcasing some actual legal capabilities. This started last week when she nailed Eli as a poseur for becoming "good Eli" only because of his aneurysm. She's actually become a character I like, though I don't see why she had to cut and change her hair color. What's wrong with that hot blonde from
Veronica Mars up there?

(S01E06) The secret is out. After hiding his condition from his boss, colleagues and clients for two months Eli Stone has finally come clean. Now, the world (or at least San Francisco) knows. Reaction is mixed. Some, like Eli's ex-fiancee and his brother, are glad that it's all out in the open now.
His colleagues' reaction? We know at least one person's opinion --more on that later. As for his boss and mentor, Jordan Whethersby...well, needless to say there's an extreme cold front coming between him and Eli. But, we'll discuss that in detail after the jump. For now, let's talk about Eli's decision to fess up.

Well, that happened a lot quicker than I expected.
Heist, the stylish NBC robbery drama, has already been axed by the network, Michael Ausiello is
reporting at his site (hey, Ausiello has a
site? Cool.).
Come on, this was a limited-run show anyway, why not let it play out? I caught a couple of
eps, and while I was bugged by Dougray Scott's accent, I thought it was a rather fun, clever show, and I certainly
wanted to see what happened next. But I guess NBC needs the hour for another episode of
Deal Or No Deal.

When I sat in on the NBC conference call for the show
Heist, I was probably the only person on that call who hadn't seen it. In fact, I had absolutely no idea what
the show was about... besides some sort of heist, of course.
But as reporters from around the entertainment
journalism landscape politely asked stars Dougray Scott and Steve Harris their questions, I started to figure out
exactly what this show was going to be like. There was going to be a team of expert thieves, each with a
specialty; they were going to plan a big heist that's funded by smaller heists; there was going to be a cat-and-mouse
game with the cops with some romantic entanglements; finally, there was going to be goofy lines and lots of people not
taking themselves too seriously.
How'd I get this off of one conference call? Two words:
