Darien: I mean don't you get it? I could have raped that woman. I could have killed you.
Kevin Fawkes: You are not going to kill anybody. Darien, please trust me. I will take care of you.
Darien: [disbelieving nod] Yeah, you know what? I'd say you already did that.

Great start

This is a great start to the new series on the Sci-Fi Channel. It has a unique premise, far different from any other Invisible Man story. It's a sci-fi show, but also has a comedy twist to it. I look forward to seeing more of this show later on in the summer.
