The Event

[Ramses]

It wasn't the White House... was it?

Nope, it was somewhere in Florida.

[Eticket]

Ah, yeah. Still, I think with all the camera crews there and the president being there shit would get out.

future humans

but they have been around for 63 years and haven't aged?

Must have some awesome anti-aging shit in the future!

This actually makes sense for future humans. Our life expectancy has almost doubled in just the last hundred years. People in the future, especially who have evolved, would be expected to live much longer.

They took all the media footage and discredited everyone publishing

Spoiler: show

but not age at all? That is the part that gets me

Over all I will give it a few more weeks before I write it off.

[GRT]

i don't care what you guys say, this show is getting good, and is staying on my DVR scheduled recording list lol

Spoiler: show

wtf those people are coming back alive? i was really hoping they turned into zombies, dammit

[Byrd]

Still meh, but still watching.

[Dryr]

The show cuts away from the action for a "xx months ago" scene a little too much IMO. I watched the first two eps on tv, gonna start watching on HULU from now on to fast forward. Really, I only keep watching now to see the young couple get back together, the rest of the story is kind of bad.

[fren.]

Ratings have tanked, good premise, but I doubt there's any reason to keep watching if its gonna end in cliffhanger fashion.

[Dryr]

just saw ep 3 on HULU, wow they really cut back on that "xx months earlier" tactic. Much more focused now, too bad they lost their initial ratings grab in the first two eps to knock that sh*t off.

I have actually enjoyed the last couple of episodes more than the first few. I still can't say I'm involved with any of the characters on an emotional level, but the plot's been decent. I wish they had found a more remarkable actor for Thomas, he seems woefully undercast. I did appreciate last night's revelation that

Spoiler: show

Thomas had worked at Los Alamos to accelerate creation of nuclear fission in the 1940's to accelerate their ability to get home. I'm really thinking they are from the future at this point and just looking for a way to return home; it seems more likely than being aliens....

EDIT: It looks like it just got picked up for a full season. So that's good news, NBC has at least some faith in it.

[GRT]

i don't quite find any close emotion ties with the characters myself, but it's not that necessary for me to enjoy a show

i don't really get all the hate on the show either, what's so wrong with it exactly?

I'm late I know, just got around to watching all 5 episodes today.

Spoiler: show

Seriously, why is this fucker so damn important? They kidnapped his girlfriend to coerce her father I get that. How the fuck is he important enough that they would keep his girlfriend for five episodes to lure him in. Why the fuck didn't they just kill him on the fucking boat?
Episode 3/4 Vicki or whatever the fuck her name is, says he's no problem. Episode 5 herp be careful he's dangerous. What gives with this fucker.
Also based on the amount of flash backs, motherfuckers are time travelers from the future.

Agreed, but I'm more intrigued by who this group is that needs him.

They didn't kill him when he was on the boat because he wasn't a problem. The whole "You were never on the boat" bit seemed unnecessarily added for the sake of More Weird Shit, though, as it seems like someone could easily just disappear from a cruise ship and the SO would be blamed for pushing her overboard. After that, somehow, in information I don't think we have yet, he found out that Layla's father was going to try to crash the plane, and he intervened. I think once he got away from the plane crash, he became a concern because he had information that could expose them, particularly once he got into the FBI's computer and pulled up Vicky's aliases. I think.

Spoiler: show

After the scene with Thomas helping to speed up technology, future humans doesn't seem too likely now.

[Dryr]

To recap the show so far:
-The president is going to release aliens of some sort from prison for no new discernible reason other than 60-ish years have passed.
-Some elaborate secret assassin organization learns about the release(apparently they didn't care about them in prison til' now) and chooses an elaborate plane hijacking as a means of terminating that release/the president/ the alien leader lady.
-The already free group of aliens had info on the secret elaborate assassination agency and prevented said plan just before fruition, resulting in not releasing the aliens anyways.
-Said free aliens play hostage takers with the plane's passengers to ensure the original alien's release even before they knew they weren't going to be released anymore.
-The aliens apparently have an E.T. motive but refuse to share that with the president,
the hot girlfriend(who I have seen in a movie and am convinced had lipo before getting this role) knows her assassin kidnapper from before she was kidnapped but won't bring it up even when they are in a room alone together and
the boyfriend has almost no importance but is getting a hell of a lot of attention...

Some plot holes really need to start filling in...

[GRT]

unexplained plot points =/= plot holes

[fishstix]

anyone still watch? I was watching the newest one and was wondering if anyone can explain something I seemed to have missed

Spoiler: show

how did that captured badguy who was shot, escape and get to their field office? last thing I remember, he was in the hotel room, injured and then the couple drove off with the suv to go check on their house for evidence. The bad guy was still with the FBI agent in ep6, unless I missed something. Suddenly, he's in the Dallas field office in ep7.
