The Event

The showrunner is from 24 so he knows you have to keep the audience interested and coming back. Rubicon is slowly turning around, key word is slowly. Once the fall shows start I may just let the episodes build up on Tivo and watch the last batch all together.

I've already decided to do that, it's just too dull to watch on a drip feed basis.
 
Well enough with the waiting and assurance that answers will be given throughout the season lets see what they deliver.
 
"The next Lost" seems to be the mark of death of some shows
 
Lame! You're right about the next Lost thing, remember FlashForward? lol Death wishhhhhhhh!
 
Lost is basically what this show is being compared to. Not to mention all the creators promising they KNOW the master-plan for the show and exactly how its going to end and that they would give answers on a much more progressive basis than Lost. Whether you want to believe that or not is up to you.

This show basically looks and is basically being marketed as the next Lost type of series.

The trailer I think is lame as hell. I'm not really buying into any of it. This isn't the event, that's not the event. Honestly I'm sick of shows constantly dangling the carrot in front of you without ever actually doing anything.

POTENTIAL FOR COOL ALIENS is not a reason for me to watch a show. Where does that even come from how do we know aliens even have anything to do with this?

All we know is that:

At the end of the pilot, the plane instead of crashing into the President's private estate, it goes through a wormhole instead and is transported somewhere else.
 
I'm going to watch the pilot. Where I go from there... we'll see. If the characters dont interest me, I'm not going to hang on just for the sake of plot twists.

Tonight is the pilot of NBC TV series The Event, which is this season's most promising new science fiction show. We've watched the pilot, and here are four spoiler-free reasons you should watch too.

As the trailers for the pilot explain, there's a spooky, unexplainable "event" that happens right away. Actually, a couple of events happen but the capital-E Event has to do with mega-technology in the sky. Could it be aliens? We like that idea. Especially if the aliens never do things like lay thousands of eggs in a UFO swimming pool or send emails. Seriously, though - the pilot does a great job ramping up the tension and leaving the causes for the "event" wide open. Definitely wide enough for some seriously scary aliens to scamper through.

I recorded the pilot. I like the promotion. I mean it's making people go, "What the hell is the event???" so I'm sure people will tune in to fulfill their curiosity. I hope this pilot is good.
 
Yes none of that means its aliens. Science fiction does not automatically equal aliens either.
 
Im tuning in but Im still mad about Heroes, I know its sad but I wanted it to at least get wrapped up. Still this sounds really interesting so yea lol
 
Heroes did get wrapped up. Nathan was shot, died and so did everyone else at the end of season two....

That's exactly how it happened. :o *puts fingers in ears and hums*
 
After..

1) 24 ending last season
2) smallville ending THIS season
3) Lost ending last season
4) The lead actor from Spartacus having his cancer come back

... I need for this show to be good.

X-Files meets 24 meets Lost (sans that Lost ending) is could be my favorite show of all time.
 
I too am pissed how NBC treated Heroes at the end.Giving false hope for another season.Giving false hope for a wrap up movie.I am trying It despite that.This will be
my sole NBC watching.TV Is In bad place right now

No Joss whedon Show on the air
Lost over
24 over
Smallville ending

The Event could fill the Lost void very good.We need more than reality cop,and lawyer shows.
 
i'm watching this right now.

never watched 24 or Lost so I can't really base it off of them
 
Why is a president who is of Cuban descent black?
 
In TV land, everyone's black...

Except white people.
 
so far not grabbing me, not sure I'll keep watching this
 
guess i'll have to pay better attention with these time jumps
