The Event channel4 9pm friday

I had to turn my surround sound down as it was overpowering the dialogue; their balance is out as my set-up is fine for everything else.

Yes, but I mean that you don't know that that necessarily means that they were behind it - it seems like it's the kind of show where you should keep an open mind about everything that goes on.

To me it seems unlikely they would have killed all the passengers after letting the plane land safely and not letting the fighter jets shoot it down, no?

Well I enjoyed it last night but the massive plot fails wind me up.

1. they want to kidnap pretty girl
2. so they stage a fake drowning and helpless boyfriend (broken arm) so Hero jumps in water.

why didn't they kidnap her then, when she was on the rocks all alone and nobody was around

or

why didn't they shoot,stab,poke with a pointy stick her boyfriend when they were all alone on the rock (once dead he can't try and stop plain's)

also

the guy with the broken (not broken) arm was in on it....so why did they kill him. (if it was to frame the hero....well why?)

anyway ill try it next week and see how it goes.
 
Wow, some people are so hard to please. 2 minutes in and someone says don't like the flash backs and I'm bored I've turned over just trying to copy Lost, what is wrong with some people.

I thought it was really good makes me want to watc next week. I just hope the writers planned the entire story before hand and are not making it up as they go along.
 
It does seem a bit odd, but episode 1 with all it's time jumping showed Sam 5 years ago at a college swimming pool as a top swimmer. Looks like 'they' set Sam & Leila up knowing that as a top swimmer, Sam would rescue the girl and then they could strike up a relationship with them and gain their confidence.
Quite what their detailed plan is, may (or may not) be revealed in later episodes or may be completed ignored.
 
I quite liked this, but throughout the episodes I kept comparing it to Lost and I found so many similarities. There's a plane crash, EM radiation has already been mentioned which could have caused the portal (kind of what happened in Lost), there are a group of people we don't know much about (the others).

Although I quite liked this and I will probably keep on watching this, one thing that I hated about The Event is that I didn't like or care about any of the characters, except for Agent Lee. All of the characters took themselves too seriously and I couldn't warm to any of them especially the main character and his girlfriend. They'll probably develop their characters in later episodes but I'll still think they will have zero chemistry and will still be incredibly boring. At least in Lost, even though you sometimes couldn't follow the storyline, you could follow the characters as they were so likeable and interesting and (most of) the romance plots actually worked.

However I would love this show if it did introduce time travel or parallel universes rather than aliens.
 
They didn't know if the President was a target til it got closer.

They couldn't shoot the plane down as the 'aliens' did something to jam the plane's equipment.
