Title: THE EVƎNT
Post by: The Real Laoislad on September 28, 2010, 07:21:57 PM
New TV series starting on Channel 4 soon from NBC in America,saw this being advertised everywhere when I was in New York,its from the makers of Lost I think.
Anyway it sounds like something I could get hooked on.
I downloaded the first episode and will watch it after tonights football.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Event_(TV_series)

Near the end of World War II, an aircraft of undetermined origin crashed in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska. It carried passengers who appeared outwardly human but are not of terrestrial origin. They have some genetic differences and age much more slowly than humans. Most of the survivors were interned by the U.S. government in a secret facility nearby run by intelligence agencies, since they have refused to disclose much about their origin, but some escaped and live among the population.
President Elias Martinez learns of the facililty's existence shortly after his inauguration and decides, after meeting the leader of the detainees, to release them and disclose their existence to the world over the objections of the intelligence agencies. His plans are put on hold when an assassination attempt on him is foiled by means beyond human technology. The CIA, realizing that this means there are other aliens, secretly plans to find and kill them, unaware that the agent chosen to head the effort is himself one.
Caught in the middle of these events is Sean Walker, whose plans to propose to his girlfriend Leila on a Caribbean cruise were cut short when she mysteriously disappears from the ship. His investigation eventually leads him to uncover the assassination plot

Heroes was only good in the first series. Flash Forward got stale after the second episode.

I heard the the guy who plays the president on the radio the last day, 5 years/seasons have already been written....no thanks. Think i'll wait for the boxset in 2015 if it's any use....

I give up half way through the second episode today - all that jumping back and forwards "7 days earlier" then "3 days earlier" blah blah was hurting my head!

Boarwalk Empire is another one that is coming out soon. The first episode or pilot was directed by Scorsese or one of those. Steve Buscemi is the lead as a prohibition era Atlantic City gangster/politician. It would be my type of tv series but I don't really watch tv that much.
