Thanks for starting this new topic. Let's hope the show doesn't get canceled. I don't think it will but you never know these days.

I have a feeling this is going to be the new 'It' show. If it isn't, then America is more low-brow that I thought, LOL This is a show that challenges us and makes us think. I love shows like that.
Now finally I have something worth watching on the most boring night of the week: Monday. Watch them move it to Thursday next year.



Just in time for Halloween, NBC’s The Event jacks up the creep factor this Monday when the ailing, zombie-esque “survivors” of Avias Air Flight 514 take a turn for the worse. “They’re [undergoing] a transformation that could eventually lead to death,” explains series creator Nick Wauters, who adds that Thomas — the possibly-alien puppet master who gave them the mysterious illness — will continue to “use them as leverage to try and get the president to free his people.” Based on the new, disturbing set of symptoms that crop up this Monday, something tells me Mr. Prez is going to strongly consider meeting his demands.




Once we found out they were aliens, it's been anti-climactic.

Now I'm a little bummed it's cancelled.
They shouldn't have dragged it out. As it turns out, it's pretty damn interesting. But they saved that for the last 5 minutes of the series. Had they given it to us sooner, they might have kept their audience.


Also, Simon told Sean that they were here first but didn't get the chance to explain.

And it's their own fault that it got cancelled. If they gave us this kind of thing sooner, they'd have retained their audience's interest. Instead they gave us terrorists-vs-government most of the season.
These new shows need to learn to keep our interest. Even good shows get cancelled in their first year. They need to be outstanding. And they shouldn't have cliffhanger endings unless they know they're getting another season. That's the most annoying thing about it all: being left hanging with no resolution at all.

Sources confirm that Syfy is in talks to pick up The Event as a miniseries. Helping things is the fact that Syfy and The Event producer, Universal Media Studios, are corporate siblings. But migrating a broadcast show to cable is never easy, and I hear discussions are underway to see if it would be financially feasible.
Shown out of sequence, it makes for interesting viewing. Mysterious, intense and lots of surprises, it kept me on the edge of my seat and left me wanting more.
