"Touch" by Fox - pilot of new TV show airing Wednesday, 1/25 at 9pm to 10:07pm

I watched this pilot and was impressed. I didn't understand everything, but it was fascinating. Keifer Sutherland plays widowed father, Martin Bohm, who cannot connect with his 11 year-old son, Jake. The son has never spoken and doesn't let anyone touch him - even his dad. He spends all his time writing numbers that mean something to him but not to anyone else. As the program progresses, more and more people are drawn in, even from around the world. The combination of numbers Sam composes seems to mean something and can predict what is going to happen. This is explained somewhat by a professor played by Danny Glover who sheds some light on what is happening. This is a theme having to do with interconnectivity and global consciousness. It brings out the fact that we are more connected to each other than we ever expected.

By the end of the show, Martin excitedly tells Jake that his numbers have meaning and Jake finally hugs his dad. So I guess from then on Jake will keep doing what he does, and maybe someday he'll speak. He speaks in his head and sounds very intelligent. Hopefully, he'll let it out and actually speak so we can hear him.

This appears to be a very fascinating show, and I hope everyone watches to see what will transpire next. I haven't seen Keifer in a role like this before, and I liked him. So watch it!
