My Own Worst Enemy

Christian Slater is a real Movie Star and it was fantastic to see him in this drama/thriller. Feel the same way about the The Beast from AE with Patrick Swazy. How fun to see such big stars with great acting on TV.It was fun while it lasted and if I could vote, I would vote for more.

As a viewer, I am getting more and more reluctant to start following shows, ESPECIALLY ON NBC, where I know there is not only a possibility that the show will get canceled, but that it will get canceled without any sort of resolution. How can I even start watching this now, (I was out of the country when it first aired) knowing that this series was supposed to go 13 episodes and was canned after 9, ending mid-story on a cliffhanger? I am guess that the other 4 episodes where never finished as they arn't here on Hulu or the DVD release.At least when they canned Studio 60 (idiots) they wrapped it up. Granted the ending felt wrapped up, but I'll take that over just being left in the dark.These network execs have got to come to terms with the fact that their audience is getting more and more frustrated with the way they run their networks. We are tired of things being moved around, we are tired of things being dropped unfinished/unresolved, and we are tired of them complaining that they are loosing their audience for these very reasons.

The premise of this show is lame. Slater is great fun to watch playing both personas, but this nonsense about invented schizophrenia is just plain stupid. Thrillers are great fun to watch, but this one has a lot of baggage in the way. Most likely, the creative team forced themselves into a hole and couldn't find a way out - NBC didn't have much choice. Long-range plot possibilities for the show are limited by the nonsense.

I don't understand how they can make a decision after only a few episodes. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to watch it on television, but when I found it here on hulu, I LOVED the action, the pseudo-technology, and I thought Christian Slater was excellent at his role of playing two personalities. This is definitely something that would have taken off as it got more viewers. I watched it non-stop over a weekend...I wish I could find out what happens next...but it sounds like it's not even possible at this point. Too Bad for NBC.
