Eli Stone

Pardon me as I'm typing this standing up.

I had read about Eli Stone a few weeks ago. A very promising premise (precisely!) piqued my curiosity, much like Pushing Daisies: quirky, different, not something run-of-the-mill. Mr. Stone starts having hallucinations of George Michael singing "Faith" in his living room, the lobby at work, etc. He finds out (eventually) that he has an aneurysm (something apparently hereditary so maybe his dead dad wasn't just an alcoholic).

Overall, a very enjoyable show. And, no, I don't think this episode encourages parents to stop giving vaccinations to their children (the plot of episode one involved a mother who claims her son developed autism one week after receiving a vaccination. It's just a show, people.).

The only problem I have with the show is the concept of God they portrayed, which seems to be more the pantheistic (God is everything) style. We'll see where they go.
