Now THIS is the stuff that I get off on. Anything that forces
you to think outside of the box and really analyze what is being
shown to you on the screen is a good thing. It's really hard to
describe this one. It's about Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) who
suffers a horrific car accident that takes the life of his son.
It's about Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) who suffers a horrific
car accident that takes the life of his wife. Did you catch
that? You didn't just read a typo. Michael is either
dreaming...or awake. You really have to check this out for
yourself. It sounds confusing and you think you would get lost
watching this as he bounces back and forth from dream state to
being awake. The only thing is, we don't know which is which.
The creators of the show were at least smart enough to
distinguish the scenes between bright colors for the Wife,
Hannah Britten (Laura Allen) and monochromatic for the scenes
with the Son, Rex Britten (Dylan Minnette).
This is one stellar cast that gives it some oomph. I'm a huge
fan of pretty much everyone involved with this. The cast of
characters are Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama), Dr. Johnathan Lee
(BD Wong), Isaiah "Bird" Freeman (Steve Harris) and Dr. Judith
Evans (Cherry Jones). How can you not love the premise and the
cast? I'm down for this one with no hestitation. The Pilot sets
everything up perfectly. But I have already figured it all out.
At least this is what my theory is. If you don't want to know,
stay out of the Spoiler Tags. You've been warned.

/move]
[spoiler]
Michael Britten is the one that is dead, and his guilt of
causing the car crash is forcing him to relieve the accident
over and over and being made to watch a love one die. It's his
own personal purgatory. That's my theory. If you were brave
enough to enter this spoiler and want to respond in kind, put
yours in spoiler tags too. No reason to ruin for anyone else
that comes in here.

After watching the Pilot, I got a little concerned that the
series would just be the same week in and week out with the
Michael trying to make sense of his Dream/Awake scenario with
the head doctors and that would be it. So, I was actually happy
that they have already introduced some sort of conspiracy within
his department with regards to Captain Tricia Harper (Laura
Innes). What exactly is going on with the "Little Guy" case and
her involvement is unclear. Does this "little" conspiracy have a
much larger role with what is happening to Michael? Who knows.
Only time will tell, but at least it's broadening the scope of
the series to further engage me.

This just in from TV Line
In other good news for NBC, Awake in its third week saw a 17
percent bump in audience (to 5.1 mil) while matching last
Thursday’s 1.6 demo rating (which marks a 33 percent improvement
over the Peacock’s previous Thursdays-at-10 performances via
Prime Suspect and The Firm).

This was another great episode, but somewhat different in that
the bulk of it was on one side of his "reality". A lot of it
took place with Michael and his son and not so much with the
Wife. I kinda just assumed that each episode would be split down
the middle 50/50. I'm okay with one side getting more than the
other side. It will give the actors more screen time and give
the viewer more chances to connect with them and feel what
Michael, Rex and Hannah are going through. I really enjoyed this
episode, even if I already figured out who was Guilty of the
crime as soon as his old partner popped up at the station. It's
kind of a cliche now that when it's written into any show, you
automatically know the 'beats' of the story that's unfolding.
