Jake keeps writing a set of numbers over and over. We can think of this as the Number Set of the Week.<br /><br />2. Martin says, "What're you trying to tell me, Jake?" Then he's off and running after his boy. Clea Hopkins pipes up with, "If you keep following your son around, you'll burn out!" Duly noted, Clea, but my son's about to walk in front of a car.<br /><br />3. The rest of the episode, Martin's dialogue is reduced to, "Wait, Jake!" and, when he meets the people he's supposed to help: "I know this sounds crazy, but..."<br /><br />4. International plotlines coalesce in perfect harmony by the end of the episode.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but there's just no suspense in that. I'm watching the series on Hulu, so I'm probably a few weeks behind the rest of the world, but the episodes I've seen up to now simply aren't cutting it. As I mentioned above, I'll watch a few more eps, but I'm probably going to be dropping the show unless I see some radical departures from what has gone before.<br /><br />None of this is to impugn Kiefer Sutherland's acting or producing ability. He's undeniably talented, and his performance is the main draw for me. I just don't think this is the right vehicle for him, although I'm not sure what I'd replace "Touch" with.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-36084731996423693062012-04-15T23:35:27.140+09:002012-04-15T23:35:27.140+09:00Hi there!

Lot's of us Kiefer fans have problems with Touch-too many storylines is a big part of my concerns-that being said, all these ep's were filmed last summer. Please keep watching and give them a chance to do some changing because I love watching Kiefer every Thursday. He has been fantastic-now the writers must have read some of the blogs, give them time to make those changes. :-)patikakesnoreply@blogger.com
