Re-fan, is there such a word?

I became a fan of the show after the pilot episode. However the longer the show ran, the more it seemed to drag on. The storylines were a mess, scriptwriting was terrible, and keifer looked like he was just going through the motions. I stopped watching after episode 10 of season 2.

Enter season 3. With an army of new writers and all, I felt I wanted to give this show another shot.

Episode 1 didn't disappoint. The script was solid, the actors looked like they had more chemistry, and the lines weren't cheap - there was meat, humor and a lot of wit.

Thank you for a solid first episode. Will watch the rest soon.
