    My Own Worst Enemy

    Anyone watching this show? I think it has potential.

    First couple of episodes were pretty good... but I still don't get why they had to create Henry? Why did Edward need a 2nd identity?

    This show seems like something that is clever and interesting for like... half a season. I have no idea how they can actually stretch out this concept and keep it interesting past 7 or so episodes.

    The first time Spiderman ran out of webbing while fighting one of his bad guys, it was clever and unexpected. When it happened the 10th time, it just wasn't cool anymore (replace Henry with Web cartridges and you get what I'm aiming at here).

    Henry kills Edward...there I ruin the whole series folks! Kidding but yeah this show does have potential but is it just me or did they just rush the story kinda? Next Episode is Edward vs Henry and I was hoping them two to team up further along the story but yeah -.-

    I like it so far. I don't really watch much TV anymore, but I just leave it on after Heroes and watch this. >.>

    Unrelated, but I miss Journeyman.

    I miss that show so much.

    MOWE isn't too bad, but I think it is going to fail because of the time slot.

    Agreed.
    And I agree that the timeslot is terrible too, did they learn nothing from Journeyman?

    I thought it was pretty mediocre... I think Christian Slater's own worst enemy is his magical hairline.

    We couldn't stop shouting "I'M TWO PEOPLE" after watching the promos. Other than the novelty of seeing Christian Slater working, I've been fairly unimpressed.

    Show blows so far but it has potential. Christian Slater can't act anymore, don't know what the hell happened to him.

    The show isn't blowing me away, but I like what I've seen so far. I can see some potential here but I share people's concerns about the longevity of the premise. I'm intrigued enough that I'll keep tuning in for the time being.

    Yeah, why did they have to make two identities for him? I'm sure it'll be explained though.

    I still don't get what the point is in giving Edward another identity... why does he even need Henry in the first place?

    I thought it was so that he could have a normal life outside of being a spy....but he never really feels that normal life, since he is "asleep" so I really have no idea.

    The only reason I could think of would be if they were found out during a mission and then followed back to their real lives. Much like happened in the 1st? 2nd? episode. However if the agent wasn't 'broken' he really wouldn't be able to divulge any information. Other than that, I dunno.

    It just seems weird... because the "civilian" is just something they created, while the real person is the operative/agent/spy/whatever you want to call them.

    Maybe it's so they can concentrate on the mission alone without having to worry about all the extra stuff, while the other "them" does all the regular civilian work?

    I thought it was more of a cover up for his existance, he only exists as a spy or w/e when hes turned on the rest of the time he lives his totally separate "normal" life where he has no idea hes a spy.
