Coldplay's Amsterdam On 'The Nine'

'The Nine': More mystery, music, and montages

I watched The Nine for the second time this week on ABC.com. Definitely go there if you want to see seven of Jon Lovitz's Subway commercials!

The show's still moving slowly, but I've never been one of those people who needs answers right away, at least on TV. (Whereas I need to know what I'm eating for dinner right now!) I like that we don't know what happened between Felicia and Lucas (something sexual? maybe?) and I like that I can't put my finger on why exactly I can't stand Egan Foote.

It's not that his voice and demeanor are phenomenally annoying, although they don't help. I think it has something to do with my not buying his total innocence. Before the robbery, he had that gun -- I know he said it was for suicide, but he was acting really shifty in a way that didn't have to mean suicide, not to mention the complete turnaround his character made from depressed another-brick-in-the-wall employee to wild 'n' out free spirit was just too forced. Something's up with him.

Oh, and thanks for semi-ruining ''You Get What You Give'' for me with Egan's awful fountain-romping routine. Carrie Ann Inaba gives that a 2!

Two characters I'm digging: Nick and Kathryn (Tim Daly and Kim Raver, pictured). They're not perfect, but I enjoyed the synchronicity of their storylines this week. Both defected from their defunct career philosophies long enough to assure each other of their trust, but then snapped back to their own worlds at the very end. That won't be for long! (Or maybe it will, given how slowly things are moving.)

After Scott Wolf's Jeremy, who plays classical music while he does surgery (eerie and awesome), lost a patient, he ended up injecting something deadly into Randall, who was conveniently right down the hall. (Huh??) Randall flatlined just in time for the calming point in the week's montage-friendly pop song of choice (Coldplay's ''Amsterdam.'') Scott Brown hated last week's montage, but I can't lie for the sake of solidarity. I kind of loved this one. I'm a sucker for clever timing. Also goosebumps.

Did enough happen on The Nine to draw you in for another ep? And who else noticed that in the final labeling of the nine peeps, Eva had been replaced by Lucas?
