I watched it, another Not great show.

Like the reviews said, it's half "Lost" half " Flash Forward" with a little "V" thrown in there.

I hate shows that go Backwards...then forward...Flashbacks ...2 days earlier...8 days earlier.....and then current again.

This was the reason why i stopped watching Lost.....and might just be the reason I stop watching this show.

I've DVR the last 4 shows of Lost, and still to this day haven't watched it.

This might be a show right up that ally. ( Only time will tell )

Watched it and it is trying to play into the mystery of Lost. What people don't understand is Lost had a humor, irony and pop culture element that was developed in the characters. These replica shows just simply can't tap into that.

Heroes failed to kill off key characters and never established a series arc. Plus too many "Heroes" jumped the good to evil side and vice versa. It seemed like each season was a redux of the first season with far less suspense and interest. (I watched the whole series however but only truly liked the first season)

Flash Forward cornered themselves with that 2 minute glimpse into the future. Maybe if they established that some sort of conflict with the characters where some needed the future to play out exactly how it happened and some needed it to change and incorporated a butterfly effect. (I never watched the last half of the show that was saved in my DVR because the show got canceled.)

V is still a ? for me. I watched the first 6 episodes and saved the rest in my DVR to see if the show got picked up. I never got around to finishing the first season this summer. I guess that indicates how much the show intrigued me. I think I am going to wait for the buzz to generate on the show and if it lasts a few seasons I will catch the DVD set.

FYI I picked the complete Battlestar Galactica set on Blu-Ray cause I keep hearing that show will instantly be one of top 5 of all times.

You will not regret it. It was one of the greatest Sci-Fi tv shows ever. The acting and writing were superb.

Didn't care for it at all. Maybe it is just me but Blair Underwood seems to get a lot of leading man type poarts and just can't seem to carry it. He always seems to be looking at himself in the mirror or should i say taking himself too serious.I think he overdoes all the scenes that he gets.

I thought it was decent, but not spectacular. Agree they could have done with cutting around the timeline a little less, though I think they did it to introduce characters (judging by the way they flashed credits throughout the show). I'll give it another couple of weeks to win me over.
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

I said the same thing last week.....

I thought it was better this week, but like I said before.....I won't last watching this show. Too much back and forth.....and now throw in the "V" type of plot....and I will be heading to the exit signs.

Chase..... Is a Good Show

Yeah, and Elias is very Obama.

ah no, that part is actually silly, Martinez is not a name I would put to a black person (african american whatever politically correct term I am supposed to use) , not impossible but not terribly common either, if they did try that they were trying to kill two birds with one stone

another 'inconsistency' is that the President tries to go all in against the aliens while the VP actually believes he can negotiate with them
