THE EVƎNT

[EmpireWF]

I'll watch, but it will be on a short leash for me. Why?

1.)I have a big feeling this is going to be like Jericho / FastForward. Not in the storyline, exactly, but in the way the characters are developed and the story drags on. These types of storylines are difficult because if you blow your load early, you are left with no surprises. But if you don't give away much early, you fear boring, dragging plots that people become disinterested in.

2.) It's on NBC. NBC has become a terrible network and it's ratings the last couple years almost put it out of the "Big 3." Almost like a second tier audience bringer. NBC hasn't launched a hugely popular show in a few years (no, The Office is not a megahit like most who watch it think it is...it still finishes last most weeks compared to CBS, ABC, and sometimes Fox).

IMO...this show will be more hype than delight, and will burn out. Second season at this point is 50/50.

certainly NBC sucks

most reviews of the first episode question whether there's enough for an entire series

we shall see

So far it's intensely confusing and bothering me by all the jump arounds.

I know the jumpy shit is fucking annoying.

 

They're aliens. It has to be. The people they're holding in Alaska are Aliens.

Or they are criminals, govt enemies etc etc...who they didn't want to kill off or keep in prison, instead they detained them and experimented on them. because of those experiments they all have special powers and crazy abilities and are gonna try to kick the shit out of us.

Crazy theory of mine...........I know ;)

Flashfoward became a great show if you kept with it.

Plausible, would def. want that theory other than mine. We will see, I can't see them telling us this episode though.

[Archbomber]

Man fuck this show.....

[Blade]

[Archbomber]

 

a freaking disappearing plane?!? really?!?!!?

Like I said fuck this show....

[Point Blank]

The show was fine till' the end. The hell was that? :laugh:

I guess I'll watch it next week to see what happens.

[Buzzman]

I like how your complaining about the twist. If it were not for that, the show would have nothing interesting to keep people watching. Now we get to see what the hell happens when you go through it, and what they plan to do with it.

[Archbomber]

Im not complaining? It was a joking stab at how ridiculous and unexpected it was.
