Thought Crimes

I just watched “Thought Crimes” for the first time. I was impressed for a TV pilot it really had a decent plot, well rounded character with a twist. I wonder why it never made it? I mean “Medium” and “Ghost Whisper” all had decent runs. I wouldn't have minded a couple years of TC..it had the ability for some nice mix of govt/cop type show with that paranormal twist.

Freya was a likable female character and Dean wasn't your typical cocky NSA/FBI et el character. There was some real chemistry between them and Joe did a bang up job of playing an agent who was actually likable. I dug his photographic memory bit and his sense of humor..plus there was a number of scene where his 'intense' gaze could melt steel.

Oh well, I'm glad we got him on SGA of course..would have been cool to have at least a season of TG though to have more Joe.

If I recall correctly, Joe F himself has said that Medium is part of the reason Thought Crimes didn't get picked up - the network had already bought Medium and kinda thought the concepts of the two shows were too close; they only wanted one "supernatural" show.

I liked Thought Crimes.. tho I not sad it didn't get picked up cos it meant we got the John Sheppard we all know and love! :D

I think now that you mention it..he did say that. Too bad, but then again I'm glad we have him as Sheppard!! I'll take the other loss!
