New JJ Abrams show. Looks like it might be interesting.

Best of all... the return of

11/29/2011 11:28:03 PM

Set to premiere Monday January 16th at 9pm, i'll certainly give it a shot since nothing else even remotely interesting is in that timeslot.

11/30/2011 12:14:29 AM

Shit Monday at 9 might be a problem...

11/30/2011 7:39:22 AM

I may give this a shot, but considering the way Fox treats Fringe, I am hesitant

11/30/2011 8:17:26 AM

Fox is smart...You wait until the MNF season is over to put good shows in that slot

11/30/2011 8:51:52 AM

still got WWE Raw to deal with

11/30/2011 10:34:51 AM

The premiere is apparently a 2 hour deal, so it will start at 8pm.

12/1/2011 4:27:44 PM

Looks interesting. I'll give it a shot.

As soon as I saw the guy from Jurassic Park, the rest of the trailer I was expecting to see a velociraptor walking the halls

12/1/2011 4:31:34 PM

If John Locke doesn't ride in on a Velociraptor I will NOT be satisfied.

12/2/2011 8:16:39 AM

Anybody watching tonight???

1/16/2012 8:10:20 PM

I'm diggin it so far

1/16/2012 9:38:21 PM

me too, but behind, watching it on dvr but I dig it

1/16/2012 9:49:17 PM

her tits are so nice it makes me forget that I loathe chicks with short hair

1/16/2012 9:55:38 PM

watched the first half on DVR... getting tired and going to finish tomorrow, but like it so far.

1/16/2012 10:17:23 PM

i enjoyed it, though i liked the first episode more than the second. i'll probably keep watching, for awhile at least, especially since all the other tv is god awful on monday nights (at least on network, i don't have cable). Unfortunately i think it will be a lot of formulaic "killer of the week" type episodes that only occasionally throw in a hint of crazy conspiracy or hints to the overall mystery, at least thats what i gathered from the second episode.

^^yes, i rather enjoyed her boobies as well.

couple of things i that i don't like- jumping on the giant computer station and all of a sudden knowing how to bring up all this shit. And the jump to letting both of them on to this secret government agency just felt very rushed and nonsensical- oh hey you found our storage room...ok you're in (even though i know they hinted that he wanted her in before because of her grandfather). and the idea of this agency as a whole just doesn't seem too fleshed out...from Hurley and Blondies perspective it almost seems as if there are only 4 people in the whole operation, and one of them is in a coma now

but i still enjoyed and will watch again

ya, good story, but definitely need a healthy amount of suspended disbelief in order to buy the agency and the fact that let some cop in on it, let alone some random comic book store guy. it looks like its gonna be like grimm, new criminal each week, but maybe a stronger overlying story arch. cool stuff and I'll stick around for a bit.

1/16/2012 10:48:35 PM

i liked it a lot. i will definitely be watching again

1/17/2012 11:05:50 AM

You called?

1/17/2012 11:19:45 AM

gg on the spelling in the thread title!

1/17/2012 4:47:18 PM

Just finished the 2nd episode. I kept looking at my watch wondering how much longer I had... I definitely got the "killer of the week" vibe from it and the whole episode I was wondering what "big surprise" the last scene would hold... and lo and behold...there was a big surprise.

If the 3rd episode doesn't pick up a little bit, I may abandon it.

1/17/2012 5:55:38 PM

Haha just noticed I had spelled it wrong. Whoops. Probably from playing too much Starcraft with ^^^.

I just watched it tonight. Pretty decent, I enjoyed it.

1/17/2012 9:38:00 PM

Big lols.

1/17/2012 10:05:59 PM

ha... as a result of the title of this thread i have been spelling it "Alkatraz" all week.

1/18/2012 8:10:20 AM

Meh...i'll probably give it another couple episodes, but i thought this one was pretty poorly written/acted and did almost nothing to advance the mystery of the story,

1/23/2012 10:02:20 PM

I've seen the first two episodes so far and liked it despite assorted retarded shit. Not great, but I'll keep watching for a few more eps at least.

1/23/2012 10:07:42 PM

Never again JJ Abrams. Not after cloverfield and lost. never again.

1/24/2012 12:45:29 AM

I thought Hurley really struggled when he tried to be all emotional and dramatic last night. And the missing son's mother was very fat and ugly, so ugly it was distracting. The Maggie Gylenhall effect.

1/24/2012 8:59:17 AM

^^ You have terrible taste in things.

"H.....hey.....what are you guys doing?"

BEST.
SUPER CATCHPHRASE.
EVAR.

Also, it's spelled "Alcatraz".

1/26/2012 11:00:20 PM

You have a police scanner??

Is having a police scanner some big no-no in TV land?

1/28/2012 4:51:21 PM

^^the spelling was pointed out a few posts up from yours

No...it's not.

1/28/2012 8:31:42 PM

too many shows with some overall mystery that air filler way early

1/30/2012 12:56:13 PM

i watched the 2nd episode of this finally last night, not too bad. kinda sad to have so many one and done episodes.

will be interested in seeing if they start to show a deeper plot line before the season finale

1/30/2012 11:30:12 PM

Would they really have murderers and rapists serving as stewards for the Warden's dinner?

Seems like it'd be worth the expense to hire outside help

1/31/2012 9:20:38 AM

I know! This show is so unrealistic!

1/31/2012 9:32:39 AM

how do you just casually shrug off toilet water hair like that

1/31/2012 9:41:42 AM

I want to know more about neela's story (idk know her name on the show, just her name on ER)

1/31/2012 10:24:55 AM

anyone still interested in this show? i've finally watched a few episodes off my DVR and i am enjoying it quite a bit

2/18/2012 9:48:56 PM

I'm expecting three things when watching this:

1. Domestic bio-terror attack
2. Plane crash
3. Smart Velociraptor's opening doors...

2/18/2012 10:16:48 PM

I hate everything about this show except that it's my absolute favorite non-comedy show on TV right now. Oh, an Indian woman was a physician in America in the 1960's? Okay! Oh, a newly-introduced black man gets exploded at the end of the episode? Sure!

I am addicted to this shit while being aware that NONE of it makes sense.

2/18/2012 10:49:28 PM

the black guy looked like Terrelle Pryor

2/18/2012 10:56:19 PM

Now all physicians in america are indian

2/19/2012 12:10:32 AM

yup, and they all speak with British accents.

2/19/2012 2:02:49 AM

this is my take on the show: the writing is REALLY bad, the acting is pretty bad, the plot could be good if they focused more on the mystery instead of the killer of the week, which is never that interesting. but it is still by far the best thing on monday night at 9 if you don't have cable.

the velociraptor's what?

sam neill still creeps me out. every time i see him, i see


i do still like the show though. it's ridiculous but i enjoy it.

This shit is terrible

2/22/2012 1:02:22 AM

it might soon join Luck and get booted off the DVR schedule

2/22/2012 7:17:41 AM

I really think this is pretty entertaining
