The Event channel4 9pm friday

Hmm I gave up watching episode two. Not because of the flashbacks and flash forwarRAB... But because the writing was so bad, the acting was only mildly better and the whole narrative just seemed like a cheap sci-fi channel movie. Plus it was badly directed and the photography was terrible.

A new Lost this is not... Not even up to the standard of Flash Forward's pilot.

Not impressed.
 
Doh!! Though they did show the next-weeks preview ~1 milisecond after the end of ep2, so everyone watching woulda seen it, but yes, I shoulda spoilerised it, next time I'll do better :o

Previews should be teasers rather than spoilers. :mad:
 
Agree with that, Fringe is unashamedly the X-files reborn with a little Outer limits thrown in but it works because of the fascinating characters, i don't get this from Event maybe they will develop in time but the reason Lost worked is because this happen very quickly. The first episodes didn't make me determined to watch the rest to find out what's going to happen like you got with Lost.
 
From Wikipedia

"On October 18, 2010, NBC announced a full season pick-up for the series, as it has performed well, averaging 9.1 million viewers to date"

So should be around for a while hopefully. Looks promising so far. Definitely worth giving a chance based on the first 40 minutes. It seems like more like Prison Break than Heroes or Lost to me.
 
No but i am looking forward to it! I was in America July and they were showing some very cryptic adverts for it - black screens while a cliop of a telephone call about *the event* was played - how it was a humungous secret, the president didn't know and how everyone would find out! got myself rather worked up as i thought it was an advert for the news LOL
 
Did anyone else think that the 3rd episode was very 'Deus Ex Machina'?

There were so many 'coincidences' tonight it didn't really matter what happened there was always going to be an 'out'.

I still enjoyed watching it, the twists and turns kept me watching but only just.

The female kidnapper annoys me, someone neeRAB to give her a good slapping. :)
 
Also how did the pilot, the girls father, know that the baddies were coming in the helicopter?? Is he a alien as well.

If they are able to maken things appear and disappear, why the need for a plane crash to kill the president. They can kill him with a burst of electromagnetic radiation (assuming both the good and bad aliens have same capablities).

where did walker get the gun from. Who told him about all this plane jacking going to take place.
 
Flashforward were unsure about whether they'd get a second season and ended accordingly - shame they didn't IMO, was quite good after it came back from its (humungous) break, and the lost thing is a matter of opinion - personally i loved it - Sawyer and Juliet:D
