I really, really wanted Drive to succeed. Nathan's character was getting darker and darker and I wanted to know how low he would go. I'm mad too that I never knew if Alex found his wife and who actually won the race.

Alex freed his wife and friend. With all his friends' help, Alex figured out a way for all the racers (still alive) to win the race and therefore ruin the people who ran the race. Basically, they all crossed the finish line at the same time.

Yep. That is what happened. LOL.

That goes along with my theory that Alex Tully was an ancestor of Mal Reynolds. Alex was Mal's great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather on his mother's side. LOL

Exactly. Richard Castle is probably from the father's side.

We were just talking about DRIVE this weekend at a shindig.
It never got a chance to really develop. All the characters were multi-layered and it would have been really cool to watch them develop.

Really is a shame.

I felt like the premise did the show in. It wasn't believable and it wasn't exciting. I mean look at how many times people got side tracked or delayed and it didn't really matter. I would have kept watching for Nathan and Amy though. Plus the army guy's wife was smokin hot. Tent scene made that one episode worthwhile all on its own.

Well, that's exactly what happens in the Amazing Race, but it's been going for quite some time, right?

Every time I think about the end of the last (6th) episode, I can't believe they didn't give it some kind of finish.

Every time I listen to "Can't Stop the World," I get a little weepy.

I watched all the DRIVE episodes as they aired, and I kept waiting for the show to make some sense and be good. Unfortuantely it never got there or was it going to get there. Nathan picked up some rent money and moved on.

Not IMO. In the amazing race they have very set rules and limits. In Drive it was a lawless race where anything goes. There's no way these people would all avoid the police while speeding down the highway. It was also really funny that they clearly shut down a strip of highway and were acting like it was all one direction of traffic and just ignore those big solid double yellow lines down the center.

The believability just wasn't there IMO.

Where I was drawing the parallel was the fact that teams got delayed and side tracked, but, as long as they didn't finish last --- and sometimes not even then, did it matter.

Anyway, I give more leeway to the fictitious tv show.
