if it works, it works. This show executes the idea well. It seems believable. It is far fetched but it's done in a such a way that you forget the unbelievability and just enjoy the show. I like how you dunno who can be an agent. And now that certain things are developing. It can go in so many directions. Henry has a fucked up life. Very Happy And Edwards life is getting more and more difficult. A super spy dealing a normal life and a normal guy dealing a super spy life. That's just fucking awesome. Very Happy

That's just fucking retarded. Very Happy
The 3rd episode clearly shows the problems with split-personality agents with balancing both lives. The company must have realized that from the beginning.

I guess I'll have to watch it through. I just hope the company doesn't say "we didn't think that would be problem". Rolling Eyes

well im guessing he's the first. so they had no idea it would happen. if they do say it, it's not a cop out. it works. It can be a whole lot of fun with the way it's unfolding. Tom will eventually find out. It can go places. It will go places. Laughing It'll be great. Very Happy It's fantastic seeing the dual lives and how they collide. It's just lol. I like how this show doesn't take it super seriously Very Happy

and far less believable. I believe more with the sci-fi shit that happens in mowe than what jack bauer does in every season of 24.

In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What have you done with your life?

Jack Bauer named his cat Chuck Norris. Why? Because he's a pussy

Jack Bauer would have gotten the ring to Mordor in 24 hours

Ahh love riffing on 24 these days Smile

NBC cancels high-profile Christian Slater drama
Thu Nov 13, 4:28 AM

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - NBC has canceled its new spy thriller "My Own Worst Enemy," a show it had promoted heavily during its Olympics telecasts in hopes that it would help revive the struggling network's lineup.

The show business trade papers Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter reported the cancellation in their Thursday editions. It was not clear whether NBC would continue to run the unaired episodes of the Christian Slater vehicle in the 10 p.m. Monday berth behind its flagging series "Heroes."

Despite decent reviews and the star power of Slater in the lead role as a man with two personalities, "My Own Worst Enemy" never clicked with viewers. Its four episodes averaged just 5.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.

personally I think heroes could've been written better by me when I was a 12 years old kid
it's a pure X men rip off and the plot is very weak and predictable , the only thing that is entertaining is watching the characters use extra ordinary powers since the CGI is quite good , claire's acting is shit imo

this show started as average and wasn't gonna get any better I guess that's the reason they cancelled it but I'm guessing they'll put it back soon
it was pretty entertaining and not boring to watch nonetheless , unlike some of the "high profile" shows these lately who make me pause it due to boredom and do something else for a couple of minutes

It's sad to see that I was right, but what else could they have expected from a series with a flawed premise. Sad

And putting it after Heroes was a bad idea imho because I'm guessing those viewers prefer real-time continuations, and there's the story-telling aspect as well.

Speaking of real-time, I can hardly wait for 24: Redemption on November 23. There's just one problem... I don't have FOX. Crying or Very sad

This show was much better than that garbage Heroes, so don't know what you bla bla about. Heroes was only good for the first season. They should have let it run for a bit longer. Shows like these always take time to build a steady audience.

The first season of Heroes was much better than the current season but that's not the point I was trying to make.

Enemy hasn't explained why it's a good idea to have split-personality agents as opposed to full-time agents. And given that they're making a big issue out of it with agents being broken and family life being a burden, such a question should be answered decisively.

Maybe they'll answer it in the remaining unaired episodes; if they already answered it then I clearly missed it.

Even if the show ran longer and built a steady audience, the number of viewers still mightn't be to NBC's liking. Though the same could be said for Heroes as well.

Someone here answered it good enough: Plausible deniability.

Yeah I saw the pilot. I guess plausible deniability is acceptable but it's still vague.
And if having split-personality agents is the only way to ensure secrecy then I accept that to.
But in every episode so far they are raising issues about broken agents and family problems and that is getting annoying.

If there's an episode that goes back to when it all started and explains how the idea came about and why they thought it was a good/safe/full-proof idea at the time and what has changed from then till now, then the plot would be more believable imo.

EDIT:
Reading it over I realized what I said was utter crap. Because the memory implanting thing works and the broken agents and family problems stuff are part of the show and keeps it interesting.
Then there's the "who's an agent" aspect that keeps people guessing.
Not to mention the action scenes and the "unexpected" switching that maintains suspense.

So there's really nothing wrong with the show; I'm just so accustomed with real-time dramas that I keep thinking every show should be like that.
