Threshold On "Threshold"

So I just finished watching the premiere of "Threshold."
My first impression? Not bad.
According to this little snippet of an article, it was the most watched show on Friday, which ideally will bode well for its future.
It had a pretty engaging storyline, interesting ideas, decent dialogue, the cast was good(especially Brent Spiner), the characters were interesting, and the lovely and talented Carla Gugino, as always, was smoking hot.
And of course the fact that it's her character's job to be pessimistic (she's all about preparing for "worst case scenarios") only serves to make her even more attractive to me, given who I am.
I have a few quibbles with the show, like the fairly cliche "tragic backstory" that's alluded to for Carla's character, and the fairly inept governtment agent she's working with, but overall it was decent, and I look forward to next week's episode.
So basically my take on the show is this:
Story: Good
Characters: (Mostly) Good
Brent Spiner: Glad to see him back on TV
Carla Gugino: Lovely, talented, and smoking hot
And of course, I can't help but approve of the show's title...
