Seeing Brendan Hines last night led me to recall his small but juicy roll in a show that got NO mention in ILTW: The Middleman. I had never even heard of it before it was already off the air. After catching up with it via the internet, I was saddened that it wasn't given more of a chance to expand in the directions that were evident over the course of the 10 episodes it did manage to eke out. Heather: did that show accidentally slip under your radar, or did you merely deem it unworthy of mention? Sure, it started out way too self-conciously-attempted-hip, but it really developed nicely in its short time, and BH's Tyler Wolf character had a pretty interesting evolution cut woefully short before really starting to pay off....
But, yeah, it is good to see him get another go on Lie to Me. My 14 year old daughter is wobbly with anticipation. I'm not sure how well the so-called science on display here would hold up when deally with world class socio/psycho-paths, instead of just "normal" people trying (and inevitably failing) to lie convincingly, and it will be interesting to see if they go there.
