The Finder Premiered on Fox on January 12, 2012
Iraq war veteran WALTER SHERMAN (Geoff Stults) gained a reputation in his army days as being the go-to guy for tracking down insurgents and deserters and finding improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Unfortunately one IED found Walter before he could find it, resulting in severe brain damage with a lasting and unexpected effect. Walter transformed from someone skilled at the standard recovery of people and things in wartime scenarios to someone - something - much more extraordinary: a Finder. Walter left the military, but his reputation as a discreet professional able to unearth anything and anyone passed on to generals, politicians and other powerful figures. His first post-military assignment was to find the CIA head honcho's missing daughter and bring her home. He accomplished that mission successfully, and since then has never been without an assignment.
i thought this was a good episode. I missed the british chick that tended bar. I'm not a fan of the teenager but I do like the premise so I hope they find the rhythm. Seeing Sweets next week will be good. It will tie the two shows together and give the Finder more foundation.
Well I like Willa she kind of like lost dog who really needs them to give her a purpose.Author: kellemanske Time: 1-13-2012 10:54

I don't know that was ridiculous but that was bad timing when thug attacked the kids just when he was about get lucky with that agent . I just hope they don't use any situation for her as eye candy would be disaapointing. Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-20-2012 14:38 Subject: Bullets
I liked that this episode was more about him Finding things. Glad that willia's part was smaller but honestly what was her point? It doesn't add or even take away from the story it just is.
Finding the bullet in the paved swamp was great. Having sweets there was just okay. How he wouldn't authorize Walter to do his job is just annoying. Sweets needed a reason... I think Walter made one up!! I hope anyway. Otherwise that's just LAME---so early in the show to know why he find things....

This why you need a strong female lead on the show
This why we need women in men's lives
I disagree, I don't always think in a show like this that you have to have a male lead and a female lead. I like a show that sometimes doesn't focus on a relationship. You can have a show that the primary focus is either a man or a woman and the job they do, not some copycat gotta have a romance CSI crap.
I like that the girl is too young, and with 2 females on the cast, there is a female presence, BUT the main character is THE FINDER Author: sanggye Time: 1-30-2012 09:09 Subject: Reply 23#23 bala's post
He didn't break into the apartment, the door was opened... he kept having the dialogue of a typical cop show, "door ajar, not good, means the place has been rifled through (when he was wrong, he kept saying bad idea, but kept moving in)" Author: codebreaker Time: 2-3-2012 00:34

Well i am now starting to like the show a little bit more now but a nice case a magican assistant vanishes and Walter has to find her but i have to say Willow being engaged to him was a nice surprise and it didn't take long for her break in but how she did was quite good as it was rather interesting combination .

The magician's assistant's escape off the balcony was impressive but it would of been more amusing if she kept the wings on and Willow being engaged to Timo was a nice surprise but talk about a long engagement and putting the assistant' back in the suit case was priceless Author: codebreaker Time: 2-14-2012 06:27 Subject: Reply 35#35 bala's post

I actually don't understand why they are bringing them all in.
On top I don't like that he quit looking with the lame excuse that he found what the guy was really looking for.
Willa and her guy still having to get married is not going to end well. But I kind of saw it coming. Too bad, cause I was actually looking forward to an episode without the Timo stuff.
Willa on the computer was nice though. Author: bala Time: 2-24-2012 12:32 Subject: Reply 44#44 kellemanske's post
Just to promote this show they think bones fan will watch the finder if they do that? Author: kellemanske Time: 2-24-2012 12:40 Subject: Reply 45#45 bala's post

I know what you mean but Fox there really need this show to be successful if they planning to end Bones?
As you know Actress might take some time out with her baby they can't continue the show without her?. Author: kellemanske Time: 2-24-2012 13:35 Subject: Reply 47#47 bala's post
I know, but this really isn't an alternative for Bones.
They can better put something else on, cause I doubt that this will keep the viewers. Author: bala Time: 2-24-2012 13:39 Subject: Reply 48#48 kellemanske's post
Bones could continue without her if they could find a suitable replacement ?
You know like imagine one of the intern actually became qualified anthropologist like her?
It would 7 years interns a purpose ? Author: kellemanske Time: 2-24-2012 14:55 Subject: Reply 49#49 bala's post
maybe, I'm not sure it would work. If she leaves, then I guess Booth will have to leave too. And then how about Hodgkins and Angela. They always said they wouldn't stay without Brennan. And which intern? The only one I would like enough for that is Zach and that's not an option...
Maybe with an entirely different team? I don't know.
She is kind of the spill of it all and the show is named after her...
Guess we'll wait and see. Author: spratt89 Time: 2-24-2012 15:58 Subject: Reply 46#46 kellemanske's post

The only way it gets cancelled is if it becomes to expensive to make or 1 of the 2 main characters want to move on Author: sanggye Time: 2-25-2012 07:01 Subject: Reply 50#50 kellemanske's post
Bones would not work without The two main cast members. I don't think she will leave the show. Many actresses have babies and continue on acting in a tv series. And the whole bringing in guests is more of a way to give people a touch of Bones while it is in a break. I like the finder, but with Fox, you never know, they have cancelled many good shows way too early. Author: sanggye Time: 2-25-2012 07:49 Subject: Reply 43#43 bala's post

I liked the fact that Walter needed to help Leo keep his promise and that he ended up giving the little girl the present for his daughter. But I don't like the overacting with his character. Sometimes he just looks stupid or something like that. Almost as if he is just a big kid. Author: codebreaker Time: 4-22-2012 14:15 Subject: 1x08 Life After Death
What a tragic accident wanting to be shot in the leg as a publicity stunt but who was behind it was a surprise and a close escape for Leo

What a way to convince Walter to take the case by the title but he really should be careful Author: codebreaker Time: 5-4-2012 19:50
Walters doll was fabulous! I loved it. His being shot was shocking and it was good to see everyone pool around him. Leo probably shouldn't have stepped away and I doubt he'll do it again. The shoot out at the beginning was nice. Good to see how Isabella does her job. Everyone understands her and spent the whole episode waiting for her to catch up. That was lame.
I like the finder in general though!! Author: spratt89 Time: 5-10-2012 01:18
