FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (13)

I like the fact that they have rules in an illegal street race.

9.2

By The-Jaxter, May 25, 2007

I think this show is awesome. They are making it better and better. I think this race is going to be really long. This episode I guess is where the actual race begins. They pulled up inside an outisde movie thearter and it showed them clips from previous races. Then the screen showed the rules of the race and how to get a jumpstart. So now they have to find this next clue. "Surender, America" which I guess is some place in Tennesee.

This show is going to be longer than expected. If they keep writting it with as much intensity as they have been.moreless

This is the episode that hooked me!

I like the way the characters are developing on this show. But seeing Nathan Fillian in this episode reminded me so much of the character I loved in Firefly!

If only we can find a way to make Fox understand they have a hit here, if they will give it a chance!

Georgia on mind Mind!

8.0

By GeorgeJobson, Apr 23, 2007

When In Rome Georgia, do what the Romans do? You know the reast. That why I'm finding the car chasing scenes the most exciting in the series. It' better than all the silly talkm inside the car. My first favorite character in the series has emerged. He name is Melanie Lyneskey and she plays a sweet, sweet character. the race for the $32 Million is cash continue though the state of Georgia where it's the home of CNN. You didn't know that? I know it for many years. Next week, more action to spare. And I'm not talking about Seinfeld's Elaine sparing a square.moreless

I have to admit much better than I thought but it's a bit predictable when it comes to the characters and what they are all about, minus the shadowy past of Nathon Fillions character. But I ALREADY hate the blonde who ditched the 2 black woman!moreless

First why does the latino have to b a sterio typical lowrider w/ a record, and its a bit wierd that he is hanging out w/ his half brother who has led a privaliged life so he is quiet different from him. I know the black woman who looks like whoopi will b killed off soon since she is not on the credits, but the blonde was wrong for ditching the two black woman who she supposedly met while being a hero/exploiter during Katrina for a crazy woman who just tried to kill her and it made me even more mad when everyone seemed to get to the checkpoint except the two black woman and they were just sitting there looking stupid. They need more diversity on this show w/ GOOD characters, I know its a reflection of the times but after these last few seasons of my favorite shows doing this kind of stuff(Lost, 24, Smallville) It makes me not want to watch nothing but movies and cable and thats too bad b/c these shows all need the ratings they can get.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Goof: Before the racers arrive at the After Sunset Tully is shown racing down an interstate highway, even though there isn't one within 30 miles of Rome, Georgia. The aerial scene immediately before that scene, however, was accurate.
  EDIT SHARE
- Change of cars:
  Alex Tully - 1972 Ford F-100 to 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
  EDIT SHARE
- Checkpoint:
  Rome, Georgia - After Sunset drive-in movie theatre.
  EDIT SHARE

QUOTES (10)
ADD QUOTES
- Alex: (With a knife at the officer's throat) Where is Corinna?
  Officer Poole: Did you learn anything? Would the real Alex Tully waste time asking that question?
  Alex: The real Alex Tully never left his partners behind. And you don't want to meet the real Alex Tully, promise!
  EDIT SHARE
- John: Violet, You're doing 85?!
  Violet: Oh I know. Isn't it pathetic? Cute boy and his brother basically just blew our doors in. Every time I push this thing to 90 it shakes worse then you do when I talk about birth control.
  EDIT SHARE
- Corinna: We're never gonna get out of Florida, are we?
  Alex: I don't know. Does the secret cabal that runs this race have roadside assistance?
  EDIT SHARE
- Alex: I thought you said getting there fast wasn't enough.
  Corinna: Yes, but getting there at all is helpful.
  EDIT SHARE
- Winston: Plus, I'd rather walk cross-country than drive some piece of crap Daddy paid for. I don't want nothing from that man.
  Sean: Is that why you were robbing our house?
  EDIT SHARE
- John: You're going too fast, Vi, slow down!
  Violet: Dad, we have almost 400 miles to Rome, and sunset is at 6:02. If I slow down we're not going to make it.
  John: Well…hands at ten and two, then.
  EDIT SHARE
- Wendy: So, you think your friends are gonna be very angry?
  Ivy: I wouldn't really call them friends.
  Wendy: Especially now that you shot out their tires.
  EDIT SHARE
- John: (about phoning his ex-wife) What am I going to say? "Barbara, Violet can't visit because we're in a secret, illegal road race? But don't worry, it's perfectly safe. The car only does 85."
  EDIT SHARE
- John: (practicing lying) Dad….I have…I have to study tonight…in the library...for a test?
  Violet: Yeah. Y'know, that would work. If this were 1950 and I had just had a lobotomy! Try again!
  EDIT SHARE
- Corinna: What happened to you back there? What did they do to you?
  Alex: They didn't do it to me. They did it to some other guy.
  Corinna: Where'd you get this car?
  Alex: Same guy's car. Hang on.
