I love the show and I love the fact that I am able to catch up at work via ABC on my computer. The show is great and amazing. How one event can bring people together and I like not knowing and guessing what may have happened. I don't watch Lost because the concept is just to much for me and unrealistic. Come on.....The Nine is a great show.

I really like this show. I love plot driven shows too, but sometimes a show that appears to be plot driven is really character driven (Medium comes to mind here). I love how the after shocks are starting to reverberate into T9's lives and the Bank Robbery really was just a catalyst to the lives these folks NOW have to lead.

I hope the vocal minority of people yelping for more action don't do a disservice to what this show is about... the complex and interesting (and very well acted) characters that are really what this show is about.

I agree with you.
I love the show because it is NOT Lost.
I love the characters and how we get to know their many layers.
I like the bank flashbacks too, and want more of those, but I don't want the show to have crazy unbeliavable twists.

And I really want to see how these people will evolve now.

I hope ABC will let the writers show us where they wanted to take these characters.

This show is definitly character driven and the characters are starting to become multi-layered. Just because no one is running around with a chainsaw or tossing someone out of a window doesn't mean it is a bad show. There's a lot of not so obvious changes on the horizon. These people brought a lot into the bank and what happened in there appears to exacerbated those things. Not everyone wants to see blood and guts and dead bodies flying around. The cast in T9 is making those people real and flawed and human so why can't the writers have a chance to finish what they started?

I totally agree with Bob Sassone. The show's a keeper! My only fear is that at 11 PM every Wednesday night, I fear that ABC will drop the show before another episode even airs!

Finally, this episode lived up to the much revered pilot episode!
I was waiting for the show to get good again. The last few weeks have been slow, I'll agree. I don't know if the editors have been reading blogs and reviews, but it almost seemed as if this episode was edited to include more bank footage (what people have been asking for).
It was refreshing to learn more, finally. Plus, there are new developments in the present day plot. Kathryn is suppressing her feelings for Nick and getting married; Egan and Nick are becoming better pals and making an indefinite living situation, strange men bugging the house.

Lizzie seems to have an attraction to Lucas who held her captive.

I hope the show sticks around after this last episode. It was starting to wear a tad thin but now my interest is rejuvinated. Supposedly last night's viewership determined if this show would go on hiatus or not. I wonder how it did?

I agree, this show has taken spot number 2 behind prison break for me and is distancing itself from LOST, which i cant stand anymore.

C'mon, it's all just expressions of opinions here. Nobody's right and nobody's wrong. Bob, and others, like the show a lot, I like it less, but I do like it. As I said in an earlier posting, it's getting old for me and seems to be "slowing down". I find it treading towards Six Degrees waters, personally.

Everybody's opinions differ to a degree, some greater than others. I think the show's floundering, Bob loves it. From my POV I think Bob's just easily amused, but based on some of the crap I love to watch, others would say the same thing about me.

Stigmata--

I don't think the characters are bland at all. They're very human. The interactions between them (particularly Nick & Egan and Lizzie & Lucas in this episode) are what makes the show so good. You're looking for a plot-driven show (more twists? their are a ton of other shows if you want that... check out the Law & Order/CSIs for all the twists you want...), which this show isn't. I can understand that you may not like these type of shows, but I have a hard time with people criticizing a show for what it's not, rather than what it is. Bob's right: it's a character-driven drama. Period.

Thank you! I was distraught to see The Nine critisized by TV Squad, but am relieved to see you appreciate it for what it is. Its the little, human moments that make this show compelling, and I hope it finds more viewers and stays on the air!!
