Anyone out there watching the new show, New Amsterdam? I’ve seen all three episodes that have aired and like the mixture of detective show with a paranormal element (a hero who can’t die until he meets the one woman whose soul is meant to be with his). Considering I like Moonlight and Blood Ties, it’s not really a surprise that I’m a fan of the paranormal detective show. I like how John Amsterdam has flashbacks to scenes in his rather extensive past, to occurrences that somehow fit in with whatever he’s going through in the present day. And I think it’s funny that he’s always telling his partner, Eva, how he did this or that 300 years ago or how he stormed the beach at Normandy and of course she doesn’t believe him. Personally, I like the theory that Eva is the one and he won’t figure that out for a good long time. 
No shock here, but my life of revisions continues. I got through three chapters over the weekend and three chapters today. Six to go, then I need to do a complete read-through to make sure I’ve not missed anything in my editor’s revision letter and that I don’t have any continuity problems because of changes I made. All before Saturday!

So… will he die IMMEDIATELY upon falling in love? Seems odd. I’m trying to wrap my brain around it.
And, no, I haven’t watched it. I already watch too much on Tuesdays. Can’t TiVo any more! LOL.

Congrats, Jane!
And hmm… I keep hearing about New Amsterdam but haven’t watched any yet–I’m with Marianne, I don’t think I have TiVo space or other bandwidth to add another show to the mix!

Thanks, I’m so excited. I haven’t seen the show, but it looks pretty good. Some critics were complaining that the premise of the show was unoriginal and has been done many times before. I think I’ll eventually check it out. The lead is pretty hot.

Congrats, Jane!
I haven’t caught that show … I actually don’t have a tv in my apartment, so I only watch tv when I’m home on the weekends… (just - don’t think about that.)
I do watch some shows online - and I’ve picked up on Eli Stone, on abc. I really like it so far.

I have it TiVo’d but haven’t had time to watch yet. The first ep didn’t record the whole thing. I think we miss the first 6 minutes. Or the last 6.
Now that Sarah Connor Chronicles are done, I’m kind of meh on anything else.

I could really use some new books. After a went through my books a couple weeks ago, I realized how small my TBR pile actually is!

Huh, I didn’t know that was the overarching premise of the show. Guess I’ll be catching up over Spring Break!

Marianne, I’ll admit I’m a little confused by the aging concept — I don’t think they’d have it as him dying immediately. Maybe it allows him to begin to age normally.
And I have the TiVo space because some of the shows I had on Season Passes are now gone, either for the season or for good.
limecello, I know someone else who really likes Eli Stone.
Teri, your TBR is small? Wow, I can’t remember the last time mine was small. Mine’s enormous!
Mary, when you watch it, let me know what you think.
