I could not figure out who the kid was who's house they raided first though, he looked very familiar but I couldn't place him, anybody know?

One good way to ensure cancellation of your show is to cast Kevin Alejandro. He's doomed Shark, Sleeper Cell and Drive, interestingly he has the same effect on tv shows as Nathan Filion, and they where both in Drive so that show was double dead. It was nice to see Shawn Hatosy again, I think last time I saw him was in Alpha Dog.

I caught that as well with the scene with Ben and that punk Oliver kid. What I kinda noticed is that Oliver was acting like he recognized Ben when he said something like "You're a cop now? You went from acting to being a cop?" I was thinking the scene was kinda mocking the O.C. thereafter when Oliver said something to Ben about "Why dont you call your dad and he can get me out" or somethig like that. Kinda ironic Ben McKenzie's character is named Ben as well. Or maybe its to have a realistic feel. Either way, pretty cool show overall imo.
