What did You Think Of The 2 Hour Premiere?

I've enjoyed the show thus far, but this was probably its worst episode to this point. The best part was Rebecca's conversation with Jack Sylvane. I thought the rest of the ep was pretty boring.
 
Hate to say it but this show is boring me. If it wasnt for the blonde chick i would of gave up already.

Sad when the parts from 1960 are more interesting than the 2012 parts.

Honestly i think many here would rather watch this show if we just saw it from point of view from guys in 1960 leading up to when they vanished.
 
^ Yawn.


Less about the killers and more about the dam story.

So hope Tera Nova gets a second season over this show argh.
 
Happy to see Jack Silvane back, but the story is past the point where it needed to start going somewhere. No more serial killers with pat pop-psychology motives, this show has exceeded its quota.

This show is soooo boring that I'd rather play the That's Not San Francisco! game each week instead.The inaccuracies about BART were funny, but howsabout that HUGE abandoned field in the Richmond district? There isn't a vacant lot that big in all of San Francisco (land being at far too high of a premium to escape development) and if there was, it would be someplace undesirable like Hunter's Point, not the highly desirable Richmond.

I'd say they're both doomed but this one is more doomed. I'm not sure which one I'd axe if I could only pick one, and I don't even watch Terra Nova! :D

I do that with Fringe and the Massachusetts town they try to portray, they even did my hometown in one of the episodes no resembalence at all. lol
 
If the Daytona 500 actually gets underway tonight (7 p.m. Eastern) and isn't rained out yet again, tonight's FOX schedule is wiped out.

How about "Boston" in Falling Skies? I like how nobody has anything approaching a Boston accent. I know it's not extinct! Maybe the alien invaders found it so annoying to hear people talking about pahking the cah in Hahvard Yahd that they selectively targetted those folks for annihilation. :rommie:
 
I tried watching tonights episode, it was just one long car chase.


(Seriously, I know it was the race, but the little dohicky on the screen said "Alcatraz".)

Ah Vancouver. I still see the Pine tree forests from SG-1 in "Fringe"
 
This week's ep was pretty ridiculous. They just kept going around in circles the whole time. None of it made any sense.
 
I think most of what I saw included the cars staying still, either going at a snails pace, or just a big fat fireball that kinda looked cool and much more entertaining than what Alcatraz has put out.

Seriously, I'm glad Montoya and the Jet guy are ok. That is one scary scene they showed.
 
Well it aired somewhere, because I saw the episode a couple hours ago.

The casting people need to be shot.

That guy can't be on this show as a 63, because he's already been a 4400.

"Sigh"

Interesting what they did with Lucy's toys...

but you can tell that it's a one off flash, rather than explaining in detail the complete procedure of what's been going on here for the last few weeks.

The interrogation lacked the bite it could have had if Lucy talked about her past as a princess in India and how she had slaves which were white... I don't know why but I just assume she's related to some powerful royal families, how otherwise would a woman from that era be allowed to pursue science unless her father was a Sultan or a Raj with no male heirs? It was just so weird that the 63 this week couldn't tell the difference between an Indian Indian and an African American, when he's trying to explkain how racism controls the world to a woman with the same colour skin yet obviously at the top of the food chain back where she comes from.
