Anyone watching? Are we looking at another Flash Forward?

"Cautiously optomistic"
Posted by zombiebaby on 09-21-10 at 10:18 AM
I liked it better than Flash Forward.

Characters are more likeable and I enjoyed the storyline we had. I do think they need to cool it with the "20 min earlier", "8 days before", "2o months, 2hours and 32 seconds before" headers. Sometimes a linear story will work and create mystery just as well. Not every show has to "be Lost".

I will be back next week.


You've been hotpocketed!

I am afraid to get hooked.

Me, too. I'm going to record the first couple of shows and see what the ratings do. That's no guarantee, but it might save me some time if it tanks immediately.

I meant to tape it too but I forgot. I am hoping that, if it's good, they'll repeat the pilot and I can get caught up. If not, then I haven't gotten hooked on something that will be canceled after a season like Flash Forward.

I could have sworn I saw a repeat on Bravo.

This show better have a flying chimichanga soon, or I'm outta there!

One of the season preview articles I read had the producers promising nothing would be even remotely revealed, confirmed, or not lied about until the second season. After the fiasco that was Persons Unknown and 'everything will be revealed by the end of the summer -- did we say that? You must have misunderstood', an NBC serial mystery drama has less chance of getting me as an audience than a Faux News special entitled 'Why Everyone Watching This Will Be Killed Before The Closing Credits'.

At least the Faux special would have some kind of ending.

It's a mildly interesting cross between Lost and Flash Forward. Jason Ritter's angst-filled face is buggin me though.

I think THE EVENT is swell, but if 24 and LOST really had a baby it would hate both its parents and regularly engage in torture.

First ep piqued my interest. Second ep made me doubt myself. Third ep had a 24-isque feel to it...and now I'm back in again. This show was in danger of dropping from my DVR schedule. I'm still on the fence for this show.

Whatever happened to Leila's sister?

I tried this show. But the constant jumping around in time made me dizzy. I quit partway thru the second episode.

I'm just happy to see that the Cylons have something to keep them occupied now that Battlestar Galactica is over.
