'THE EVENT' -- "The Event" is an emotional, high-octane conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter, "The Class"), an Everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée, Leila (Sarah Roemer, "Disturbia"), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. Sean's quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including: newly elected U.S. President Martinez (Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood, "Dirty Sexy Money"); Sophia (Emmy Award nominee Laura Innes, "ER"), who is the leader of a mysterious group of detainees; and Sean's shadowy father-in-law (Scott Patterson, "Gilmore Girls"). Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind. Ian Anthony Dale ("Daybreak") and Emmy winner Željko Ivanek ("Damages") also star in the ensemble drama. "The Event" is a production of Universal Media Studios and Steve Stark Productions. Stark ("Medium," "Facing Kate") serves as executive producer, Nick Wauters ("The 4400," "Eureka") is creator/co-executive producer and Jeffrey Reiner ("Friday Night Lights," "Trauma") is the director/executive producer; Evan Katz ("24") also is an executive producer.

This might be a good recurring storyline to return to every now and then, but...what's the franchise? Is he solving crimes every week (that is, when not on the trail on this one)? Because, I wouldn't want this premise to be the focus of every single episode. You can't sustain a long-running series on just this. It'd get too murky and convoluted too quickly; and if it reaches a natural conclusion, but it's too soon before the magic number needed for syndication (88 episodes), where else do you go?

I didn't like it. There was far too much jumping from the past to present. I simply couldn't keep up with what the heck was happening. I had a monstrous headache when it was over. I won't be watching again. But I know some folks that loved it too. I think it all depends on if you like the 24/Lost type shows. I don't but gave the show a try anyway.

Lost (when it was in its best seasons--ie not the last--as a character based serial, with the twists and secrets coming second) and 24, were vastly different shows though... But I kinda agree, I didn't think it was that good *as a pilot*. I liked a lot of the actors alright. I just didn't feel that compulsive hook the best pilots have. I'll prob watch at leas tone more. Meh (meh seems to be my attitude to the season this year in general).

I felt the same way. The ratings werent that great. I only see the ratings dropping next week. Its a cheap ripoff of Lost.

I did love seeing John Ritter's son on it. But I dont want to invest in a show that is/has some Lost parallels.

Aside from the time jumping, I don't see the similarities between Lost.

The show is a serialized action thriller.....so of course I loved it! :) My jaw dropped when the plane disappeared! :o Great cast too! Sarah Roemer :wub:

    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.

    • Seeing T.R. give Danny a massage made me wonder if Jane Krakowski was considered for One Life to Live's Tina recast in 1990. At that point, Jane was in Broadway's Grand Hotel and probably not interested in coming back to daytime (plus, at 21, she would have been rather young for the role), but it still felt like a what could have been moment.
