Stealing the photocopier lie detector test was just ridiculous (and made no sense in the context of the show) but stealing Duqie is always OK by me (and indeed relieved some of the stress I've been carrying around since I last saw him doing drugs in an alley).
Wire steals aside, I have to say that I enjoyed the first episode of the Unusuals. Adam Goldberg did his perfect angry man schtick although I think Harold Perrineau was a bit misused as his death-fearing partner (just a bit too neurotic). The chemistry between Amber Tamblyn and her new partner (who they point out, used to play for the Yankees - yay!) worked for me and I am excited to watch Tamblyn probe the depths of corruption in the precinct (keep your eye on the Bible guy). I'm now planning to give this show a spot on the rotation and hopefully I will continue to enjoy it (until ABC cancels it that is - bets? May 1st anyone?)
Anyone else watch and/or enjoy the show?

I really enjoyed the Unusuals too, a sure sign that it was destined to be canceled.
And I believe that The Wire stole the photocopier lie detector test from Homicide: Life on the Street (1993).
