Journeyman: You know, I'm not really sure what to make of this show. Kevin McKidd was excellent, but sadly the casting of the two female characters meant that I was left wondering which cookie cutter they'd popped out of. Were there only tall, thin, long-haired brunette actresses of a certain age willing to wear very little clothing left by the time they got around to this show? Let's have a little less gratuitous skin, at least from the distaff side of the cast, in future episodes shall we?

As for the overall premise, once I'd managed to ignore the way they were apparently playing the 'selfish career woman opts for abortion' card (for once couldn't we have 'woman thinks man is too childish or crazy to be a father'?), it's interesting enough. However, they seem to skim over the fact that McKidd's character created the situation he then ended up resolving with the crazy dad twice over, once by saving his life and then again by eavesdropping and interfering with whatsersocks. No consequences for that, or even a pang of conscience? Hmm.
