Continuity: Before Det. Miller and Kreutzfeld go into the motel room to get to the vault, Kreutzfeld insists on Miller leaving his pistol. After he is abandoned in the vault, Miller goes to the book shop and then goes back to the Motel. At the Motel, Miller has his pistol back, but no one has been back to Kreutzfeld's to retrieve it.

Quotes:

Joe Miller: What about the Bus Ticket?
Wally Jabrowski: Not that useful. Unless you want to get to a little spot outside Gallup, New Mexico in a jiffy, which I don't.
Joe Miller: Why Gallup?
Wally Jabrowski: Why not?

Fantastic Mini-Series - PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!

What a mini-series!!! I absolutely loved this show!!! It left me wanting more ie, a series. I love the series Lost and watched Taken three times. So, I'm a fan of Sci-Fi. This captured my attention from the minute they showed the teaser. The story line was absolutely fascinating. And I thought the acting was excellent. I too enjoyed Peter Kraus in Six Feet Under; he's a very talented actor and I feel he will go very far.

If the writers and producers are reading these postings, Please, please bring this back as a series!!!! I loved it and would watch it faithfully! Thank you for bringing such an interesting show to us.
