I usually find a bright side to everything, but am I the only one who thought the last episode sucked? I HONESTLY began to think, "surely this isn't the last episode..." The ending was horrendous! I have never seen anything that left so many open holes...So the lady goes back to her old beau never knowing that her husband remained madly in love with her and did everything he could to get her back? The Senator never finds out it was HIS daughter that was boinking Judge Rainer? No one finds out who the traitor was? I mean the list goes on AND on!!! I was upset that they let Gale Harold go yet I stuck with it. However, this simply takes the cake...

Don't listen to anyone telling you different- Vanished is tied for best new show of the season with Jericho. People may say that it's not Lost- thing is- that's a good thing- the arc is far better thought out than Lost- there are intriguing teases every week that actually tie to the mystery- unlike the irrelevant baggage Lost carries around with it.Vanished is a very addictive show, and the fact that it follows one compelling case makes it all the more exciting- for example there are no pointless characters- like the prevalent 'comic-relief' character we get in almost every show now.True Vanished is not the best show of all time- some of the acting leaves room for improvement, and the senator's daughter is a little bit on the annoying side, but at least we get varied characters, which is something you only usually now get on veronica mars and grey's anatomy.The real tragedy would be if this show gets cancelled before it finishes its arc while Lost blunders on not ever planning to wrap up any of its mysteries.

This has got to be one of the worst shows on TV. The actors, and that is putting it mildly, are terrible. With all the lip pursing the "Senator" does it it's like he has forgotten his lines. Everyone is always glancing around, looking at Lord knows what. It could be a good show, if anyone in it could seem interested in what they are doing. I have not missed an episode, because the plot is decent, but after last nights show I knew I could not go through another hour with those people. One more thing....I live in Atlanta, and the least they could do is get things right. We do not have a tunnel, let alone a North and South tunnel. Also we do have I-20, but not THE 20 as they call it. And it's called Georgia Power Company; not Georgia Energy. The shots they show are not Atlanta either. So you put all this together and you have a miserable waste of a good idea. I gave it my best shot, but I can't take anymore.

"Vanished" falls under a new sub-genre of action/suspense fare created by "24" and "Prison Break." No new ground here, but worth a look, if you're into serialized stories rather than seven-year-soap-operas. I have seen only the season premier, so the data are definitely not in on this one. The premier episode of any TV series is usually a shake-down cruise; you get to know the premise, the actors, the style. Gale Harold, as the star FBI senior agent, is setting the action-hero style and tone of "Vanished" and if they'll just let him run with the character, this could become the best offbeat FBI-in-action since "Bones" or "Numbers". Check out "Vanished" and see if you don't come away curious to see where it all leads.
