But week after week, it just seemed to get, well, weaker. Perhaps it was because they were trying to do a CBS/Bruckheimer stand-alone crime procedural (every episode they'd go to one new location where there had been a "breakout," and resolve the threat by the end of the show), when the premise (aliens invade and try to destroy mankind as we know it!) cried out for a 24- or Lost-type serial approach. <br/><br/>By the way, Shawna, what are your thoughts on spec'ing Entourage? I'm a features guy, but love that show and thought I might try my hand at t.v. specs again. Is it considered a good spec in town?
