I, too, was intrigued by the commercials and made sure to catch the pilot. "Awake" has the most original concept for a TV show in years, and I won't spin my brain cells trying to analyze the causes, realities or future plot direction - I'm just ingesting what's given me now. However, one scene in particular irritated me. What was the point of the love making scene? Are we so jaded that every actress/actor has to agree to strip, regardless of talent, to get a contract? It served no purpose, did not advance the story, and reeked of the "I can't really write so I'll use the standard flesh" formula to tantalize the viewer. The direction was choppy, but good, and enough interest was garnered by posing the question of what happened the night of the accident. But I'll reserve my opinion for a few more episodes - and hope they leave the soap stories for the afternoons.
