The Event

[Hunter Rider]

'THE EVENT' -- "The Event" is an emotional, high-octane conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter, "The Class"), an Everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancee, Leila (Sarah Roemer, "Disturbia"), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. Sean's quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including: newly elected U.S. President Martinez (Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood, "Dirty Sexy Money"); Sophia (Emmy Award nominee Laura Innes, "ER"), who is the leader of a mysterious group of detainees; and Sean's shadowy father-in-law (Scott Patterson, "Gilmore Girls"). Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind. Ian Anthony Dale ("Daybreak") and Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek ("Damages") also star in the ensemble drama.

Oh yes, of all the new shows coming up this one intrigues me the most.

 

[KenK]

'Cause it's the one we know the least about, maybe?

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's more the main elements of The President, black ops and snowy mountain prison facility that really hooks me.

 

[carrrnuttt]

That looks pretty intriguing. I might just have to add this to my massive DVR list.

 

[Dr Lee]

Damn... this looks intriguing... i'm in!

'Event' Team Asks For Viewers' Trust

The panel for NBC's The Event often evoked 24 and Lost and understandably so as the new NBC serialized thriller about a government conspiracy is touted as a potential successor to the iconic dramas that bowed out in May. It also has 24 veteran Evan Katz as showrunner. “The show won't be as dark (as 24) but there will be the same intensity, the same roller-coaster ride that provokes visceral response to what you watch."

Producers fielded a lot of questions about how they will sustain viewers' interest in a dense serialized drama. The biggest questions in the pilot will be answered in the second episode, Katz said. Creator Nick Wauters, who admitted to being influenced by Lost and 24, stressed that “we will try and reveal as many answers as we can as we go and set up more mysteries. "But you have to go on faith that we know what we’re doing," he said. "As a viewer myself and a fan of Lost, I ask for people’s trust."

This sounds pretty cool

 

[Kaleb]

Im onboard.

 

[Maximus One]

What are we on board for though?????? Lol I can't help it I wanna know something damnit

 

[chesslover]

The Event is turning the second E in event backwards!!

 

[superhero]

My mom said it looks like lost.

 

[Asgard]

So is this like an alien invasion story or what?

 

[Shifty]

Its supposed to fill the void left by Lost and 24 and they're trying not to frustrate viewers. Former 24 writer Evan Katz is the showrunner.

CBS is offering up the same stuff they always offer in dramas something for old and middle age people, ABC has more "ABC dramas", Fox has their Texas soap opera and NBC has The Event and Undercovers as well as Chase, The Cape, L&O LA.

But The Event has me interested and I will be tuning in as I'll need a drama to watch come November since AMC's shows will be done.

 

[Prison Mike]

The commercials are annoying me.

 

[X-Ray]

It looks interesting. I don't what to invest my time into it only to have it canceled.

 

[Matt]

I'm gonna watch, but I fear it will be cancelled fairly early and we'll never know what The Event is.

 

[Dr Lee]

I'm gonna watch, but I fear it will be cancelled fairly early and we'll never know what The Event is.

That is my worry as well... would rather not have another FlashForward situation again...

 

[Spider-Gamer]

I'm gonna watch, but I fear it will be cancelled fairly early and we'll never know what The Event is.

That is my fear as well.

 

[Maximus One]

Same here. But rumor has it Starz might pick up Flashforward, last i heard

 

[superhero]

i think it kind of looks like lost.

 

[Travesty]

The commercials are annoying me.

I HATE the commercials. At first I was intrigued, but now it's just so frustrating. It's like having an annoying friend who is constantly bringing up that he has a secret, but can't tell you what it is.

 

[Shifty]

I'm gonna watch, but I fear it will be cancelled fairly early and we'll never know what The Event is.

What NBC should be doing is the format cable shows 24/Lost have used, uninterrupted seasons. NBC was pretty good with their comedy shows last fall where the only week off was Thanksgiving and you had 12 episodes in 13 weeks but then all that momentum was ruined by stretching out the seasons until May. The Event will probably start strong but the schedule will probably hurt it ratings wise January on.

If you like conspiracies Rubicon on AMC is guaranteed 13 episodes, 2 have aired (and free online) and if the ratings hold between 1.5-2 million viewers a second season should occur.

 

[MadVillainy]

Does anyone know how many episodes Taylor Cole will be in

 

[alexdunn]

Same here. But rumor has it Starz might pick up Flashforward, last i heard

Cool I hope it's better.
