  Amazing Grace hide show

  A good first episode of Mysterious Ways. Although not the strongest start to a series, it did it's job. This episode introduces us to the main characters and gives us insight into their pasts, from the tragedy in Peggy's past to Declan's survival of the avalanche. I liked the way that the writers managed to incorporate Adrian Pasdar's real life scar into the show by making it part of his 'avalanche survival tale'. I felt the 'phenomena' could have been slightly stronger in this episode - in a way it took a back seat to the character introductions but overall, I enjoyed the episode and would watch it again.

  Do you agree?

• Declan: I don't know why bad things happen, Peggy. Or good things, for that matter. Reasons aren't always clear, but there's always reasons.
  Peggy: What you do; it's...weird.
  Declan: I know. But you still wanna know, don't you? [edit]
• Dean: Another extra curricular project on the Univerity's dime?
  Declan: No, no, I can explain this.
  (Pause)
  Declan: Actually, Miranda might be able to explain this one a little better.
  Dean: Will it interest me?
  Miranda: Probably not.
  Dean: Then don't explain it. Just assure me it won't keep you from doing your real job.
  Declan: Rest assured.
  (Dean leaves)
  Declan: Nice job.
  Miranda: Shut up! [edit]
• Declan: What happened to you, Peggy?
  Peggy: I don't have time for this, Declan.
  Declan: Come on, make time.
  Peggy: Two years ago, my husband was brought to this hospital. He was broadsided by a driver going fifty miles an hour. He was in pretty bad shape. He lapsed into a coma, there was nothing we could do but wait. So our church rallied around us; we prayed day and night. My faith was strong. And I knew...I knew that he would be healed. A week later, he woke up, just like that. The doctors were amazed. We were ecstatic. He improved steadily for three days, and on the fourth day, in the middle of the night, he died. It was...it was so cruel. So, you keep looking to see if miracles are real. I already know my answer. [edit]

• Declan: One minute I'm Jean-Claude Killy, and the next I'm trapped in a block of ice.
  
  Jean-Claude Killy is a French skiier born in 1943 who won 3 gold medals at the 1968 Winter Olympics (for Slalom, Grand Slalom and Downhill). [edit]
