Default The Event

A new show on NBC, Monday at 9:00. Watched the premire last night and I'm totally confused (yeah, so what else is new).
I don't get the young couple on the cruise, why the girl went missing and why their room was re-occupied and all their info was gone. I know that she is the daughter of the pilot that took over the plane, but what did they have to do with any of that? I'm sure that will probably be explained in future episodes, but I want to know NOW!!!

I thought maybe the Dad/Pilot was one of the escaped prisoners? Gonna have to watch it again, the whole 'Pulp Fiction' timeline was a little confusing. The agent had told the 'Leader' in Alaska that they had found someone 'hiding in plain sight' but I didn't pay attention to the timeline of it.

I'm thinking this is another "Lost" type of show. Watched the pilot last night. I'm not up for another confusion show like Lost. I'll give it one more show to answer questions, but if each show creates more questions than answers, I'll have to remove it from the dvr queue.

I thought it showed lots of potential. It is refreshing for me to watch a network show that I have to pay attention to instead of the usual crap they produce that you can watch while doing somthing else and not miss a beat. I just hope that it does not go the way of last season's Fast Forward that got canceled before tying up its' plot lines.

Default Re: The Event

Flash Forward started out great, too bad they didn't make better use of it. Part of its problem was the hiatus. It was too long and there were too few episodes before the break.

As for The Event, I'm cool with shows that keep me guessing. Beats the overload of 'reality' shows that are taking over TV. Or how about just moving a TV show to another town and calling it completely different show? What's next? ER: New York? or Cougar Town: Denver!

Network TV in general just plain sucks. I just hope The Event doesn't end up sucking, or worse, its a great show and gets canceled anyway. But that is usually Fox that does that.

I caught the repeat on Saturday, looks interesting. I may check out the second ep tomorrow night. Sheen phoned it in last week for 2 1/2 Men, and Mike & Molly is one of my picks for quickest cancellation this season.

****SPOILERS******



















After watching the 1st episode again, I was pretty sure the pilot/dad is not one of them, and the second episode confirmed that.

So its still up in the air as to who the prisoners are, but I am leaning towards future-humans who have evolved or had their DNA modified.

As for who blackmailed the pilot into flying the plane into the Prez, I am still clueless, and if Sophia's people on the outside saved the Prez and transported the plane to the desert, was it the assassin group who came in helicopters to kill the passengers? Or Sophia's ppl?

I shouldn't have deleted episode 2 after only 1 viewing

I'm sure the pilot is not one of them, he had to fly the plane to save his daughters. I think the prisoners are some sort of aliens. Also not sure who wanted the president dead, can't be the prisoners cause he was gonna set them free (I believe this was said in epi 1). The assassin group will remain a mystery for a couple more episodes.
Before the 2nd episode I said that I would give the show some more time before I give up on it, I'm definitly sticking with it for the end of the season, then probably more.

My guess at this point is that the assassins are extremists among Sophia's people. She did say that some of them have run out of patience...

You know that's right. I will never again get hooked up on a show that wastes
that much of my life for no payoff whatsoever.

Or, a goverment group bent on having the "aliens" take the fall for the assasination of the President. Remember, the President only found out about them because he insisted that he NEEDED to know.

This is what I gather. So far I'm hooked! As long as it keeps going the way it is I'll keep watching...very addictive.
