Re: The Event *Season 1*
I watched it, and I am not feeling it. The show jumped around in time, which was horrid, and you had zero idea what was going on until the final few and then it ended with a
moment.
It's like they put Lost, 24, The 4400 and Heroes into a blender, dumped everything out and didn't bother to make the resulting mess entertaining or coherent.Comment

Re: The Event *Season 1*
I actually enjoyed last nights episode. OK, so it's more confusing than Lost, BUT I like those type of shows.I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil. - Malcolm XComment

Re: The Event *Season 1*
The producers claim that answers will be given quickly. Their words: "We don't want to give the audience the perception that we're making it up as we go."
I found it interesting. But I also found Flash Forward interesting until mid-season."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: The Event *Season 1*
Ehh.. I watched cause I got caught up and then I couldn't stop watching. Even though that happened, didn't feel the show at all. It jumped around WAY too much which was so confusing. You didn't know if it was 13 hours before, 13 months after, 8 days into it. Seemed like they were just trying to be creative ala Lost.
SpoilerI'm think it's an M. Night Shyamalan type movie which will end up being about aliens or some sort of plant/earth form saving the world from humanity.Comment

I did not approve of this show or Chase right after. I see more struggles for NBC on the horizon.I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update). I write it, and it hits your inbox every Friday morning (for freeeeeee). We also have an official OS Discord you can now join.Comment

Re: The Event *Season 1*
I think they're shooting for Lost, but coming up way short.
The first two and a half seasons of Lost didn't explain a damn thing and had several intriguing mysteries where the possibilities were endless (what is the island, what are the numbers, who are the others, what is Dharma, what's in the hatch, what is the monster) and most of those were unanswered in full throughout most of the show.
This really has two mysteries. Who are "they" and who is the group who wants to keep them a secret or expose them by kidnapping the daughter/fiance and extorting the husband/father.
Personally I got far more of a Flashforward vibe from the show, as unlike Lost, they're going to have to explain the "mystery" of the show quickly or risk boring everyone. The nature of Lost's island where nobody knew what was going on was a huge advantage because there wasn't a vessel to keep things secret. In this, the president is a few hundred feet from actually seeing who "they" are. The final line of "I haven't told you everything" seemed to be trying to copy Charlie's "guys, where are we" a bit as well.
*speculation*
SpoilerDoes anyone really see this going in any direction other than aliens or secret conspiracy ripped from Flashforward?Comment
