Spoilers Limitless - TV Series

Yeah, the first episode was good, working as a set-up and introduction to this "world" and direction of the series. Certainly feel "sinister" things coming from Bradley Cooper's character and I like the way the NZT experience is being depicted between the overlays/rundowns of his paths and him talking to a ghost of "himself."

Will watch the other episodes soon, but liked the pilot and seems the series is mostly holdings its own in the ratings.
 
The first episode is almost a different show. They pretty much run with the "fun" aspect in the following episodes.
 
2x04...

They hammered home the fact that Brian is addicted to NZT. He can't get off the pill or the injection now without serious consequences.

He's also trapped, but is Eddie Morra really the probelm?
 
So in episode 3 they make a big plot point about how the NZT wears off after about 9 hours with the whole girlfriend subplot. Shift to the beginning of this episode and suddenly the NZT lasts long enough for him to go cruising for chicks at night clubs and then spend half the night discussing science on the internet?

Inconsistent.
 
I thought it was 12 hours but yeah, I figured that he took the pill later in the day.

It was nice to see him make use of it in his social life and free time even if it was just a glimpse.
 
But they always make a big deal of Mike and Ike giving him the pill in the morning so he can "study" on the way into work. I guess maybe he palmed it to use for later and spent the first half of the day faking it.
 
The FBI files on Nzt seem to be a dead end, but I do think that both Eddie and the FBI are looking for the real source of Nzt. Brian should be acting alittle smarter though, it seemed odd that couldn't remember Mike's real name given the total recall Nzt gives him.

I'd think he'd be able to get it constantly from Eddie.

And I've not taken it that he doesn't know Mike and Ike's real names he just doesn't care. He prefers to call them Mike and Ike because he doesn't like having baby sitters.
 
Yeah, he doesn't bother listening or learning their names because, to him, they're not important enough for him to learn it in the first place.

Well, by the "rules" of how NZT works, if he was told their names he knows them. He just doesn't care enough to actively remember them even when he can. His little asides, mental-discussions are just him editorializing. So when his imagination says he doesn't know/remember their names it's not that so much as it's just that he doesn't care.

Didnt Robert DeNiro's character in the movie reveal he bought the company which secretly manufactured NZT?

BTW... What was with the lame way he figured out his bosses password? The letters M E R C Y. Had their keys used more... wtf? A keyboard isnt a keypad entry to a door. You use it for messages and type a helluva lot more than your pw.
 
Hubby got a big laugh of the agent saying,"He got his hard drives," when what he held up was actually a power supply. He even paused the DVR to point it out to me.

I believe so, but Eddie had developed his own independent supply by that point (or so I assume; he said he'd weaned himself off the drug, so DeNiro had no hold on him, but the series establishes that he still uses it, so presumably his efforts as shown in the film to reverse-engineer NZT were successful).
