This is supposed to be the best new thing on network TV.
Will “The Event” turn out to be another “FlashForward” or the next “Lost”?
there's no way it's going to be another Lost.
I read an article on The Event and it mentioned how the creator had mapped out 5 season's worth of material before he even sold the concept to the TV Studio. So according to the article it might be a slow developing series with slow reveals.
subcaps spliced with tv credits in the beginning, ruined it for me from the start... that and the irrelevant and awkward backandforth nonlinear narrative, again with the constant inyourface subcaps...
this is how i think the show will go down:
U.S. gvt. holds alien detention camp in Alaska. These aliens (Innes' character) are from another dimension/reality... "The Event" is where some select unassuming people fall into cracks of other realities, and both realities (Reality A and Reality B) change because the people (like Ritter's character) disappears from Reality A and appears in Reality B. Only the aliens can sense these things... and maybe that's how they roll (travel).
I must admit, hearing that it's about aliens has me flashing back to my bitterness over what happened with the X-Files, and it makes me not want to even start watching this show.
Yeah, the guy says he has 5 seasons plotted out, but why should I believe him? he's just going to string me along and make shit up as he goes, and I will end up putting my foot through my TV.

Yeah, this is along the lines of what I was thinking. The people could also just be from another reality and have better technology, which would be exactly like Fringe.
Also, there was a slo-mo scene in an airport at the beginning. Really? I'm getting more of a FlashForward vibe than a Lost vibe, and of course that isn't a compliment.
I won't mind being strung-along to a certain degree if the characters are interesting and I care about them. After the first episode, meh...but we'll see.
Ok, the ending of Episode 3 was pretty damned cool.
