The Event

[tchrrx]

Is anyone watching this? It seems a little like "Lost" to me, in the fact that we are going to have to watch many, many episodes (seasons?!?) before truly knowing what's going on.

 

[Robinrs]

Very "lost" which is a GOOD thing!! I just started watching my DVR and so far I LOVE it!!!

 

[Pig Pen]

I am watching it. It's a little disjointed so far. I never got into Lost so can't compare it. It's kind of freaky right now...Sean has just been locked out of his room on the ship.

What the heck????? Where did the plane go? This is nuts!

I think this show should have come with a warning. I can only imagine how families/friends of people who were injured/killed in 9/11 must feel watching something like this.

 

[Magic Mom]

I like it so far. As far as the families of 9/11, it doesn't seem so close in story line that it feels disrespectful. And I don't see it as any different than police or fire or military shows in terms of being traumatic for families in those situations.

It's not showing here in New Orleans; NBC is showing Monday Night Football. I hope they air it later.

Good point. I usually just watch reality t.v., so this is extremely dramatic for me!

I will probably keep watching it to see where it goes. I know that Jason Ritter is John Ritter's son, but he reminds me more of Jim Carrey!

I thought about watching, but last year I watched Flashforward and Persons Unknown, only to have them end with WAY more questions than answers. So I won't be investing time into this show, only to have it end!

 

[Bradsdadg]

I watched it. Eh not really sure how much I liked it just yet. It was pretty good but the bouncing around was a little annoying. That and someone on another board made a funny statement about the airplane. Something about how we won't really know what happens to it until they need better ratings or the show is about to be cancelled, lol.

On a better note, I also watched Hawaii Five O. That was a really cool show!

Totally agree. I told DS that we probably would be kept guessing for a while then there will be a big reveal that aliens or something are behind it all.

I watched it, and thought it was good. It reminded me a lot of flash forward. I kept getting confused with the jumping around, 8 years earlier, 11 years earlier, 2 days earlier etc.

Where do I recognize that girl from??? The one who fell in the ocean who has the boyfriend with the cast? She looks so familiar.

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

I fell asleep in the last 10 minutes.

Me too. I am so sick of that.

 

[Acklander]

I enjoyed it, but kept having to rewind/replay to try and figure it out because I kept getting lost with the time sequences. Jason Ritter did a great job!!!

I have it DVRed, but haven't watched it yet. I do hate to hear it is one of those that jumps around in time. Very difficult to follow when they do that.

 

[Straitlover]

I missed a few monutes of it. The alst I saw w/ Jason Ritter and his GF was when theyw ere on the balcony of their room talking about goign to dinner in Antigua. I changed the channel at the ocmmercial and got caught up in soemthing, and when I turned it back, he was in his room but the other people were there saying it was their room. Where were they when his GF disappeared?

They did fool me, though. I just knew that she was going to disappear while he was saving that girl in the water!

I told DH it is definately not one you can channel surf through while your watching it. If you miss 5 minutes you'll be lost.

Oh and did anybody else think there was a ton of commercials during the show. I think the actual show was only about 30 minutes the rest was commercials.

She had a hangover and he went snorkling then to dinner with the other couple they met while she stayed in the room. When he got back his key card didn't work and there were other people in his room.

I think I will give it another week before I really decide if I am going to continue watching. It was hard to keep up with the time frames - if you looked away and missed it, was it 8 weeks ago or now or 11 year ago - WHAT!?
Jason Ritter did a good job...
