I have to agree that the time continuity was rather screwed up in "Numbers". It would have made a lot more sense (and been more dramatic) to have made this 2 episodes, but I guess they didn't want to get into the whole touchy-feely bit (hence Amita's uselessness in the ep. They wanted to make sure that everyone remembered he's straight!)
I figured that Val's sudden appearance and brief screen time was probably due to the fact that they really couldn't afford to buy too much of his time. Personally, the character could have been interesting, but I really got the impression that Val was phoning it in. "Oh yeah, I have to be evil now, so I'll sound bored and cold."
I love that song by Evanescence, but, please, how stereotypically goth can you get? Considering the number of those buttons they were already pushing, you'd think they'd have spared us this last one.
Like you, I'm glad that the heroine wasn't cookie-cutter and I actually sorta liked the premise that he'd been her guardian angel for years.
The CGI was pitiful. Flashbacks to the 60's/70's style of being "on the road". I was expecting to see cars from that era going by, it was so bad. I'm also not thrilled with the vampire effect.
