Three Reasons I’m Gonna Keep Watching The Event

So it’s TV time ladies and gentlemen.   And while I normally stick with my usual suspects it’s time to give some new shows a chance.  Oh by the way House was horrible.  House and Cuddy the whole time?  Really?  They better clean that up fast or I’m outta there.

Sorry.  So let’s get on with one show that I’m curious about:  The Event.  This show’s been hyped for a while now and the semi Lost/24 may actually live up to expectations.

Can we just get the bad out of the way though?  What the hell was with the visual effects?  Could they have been any worse?  Jesus Christ that was horrible.  Not to mention the acting wasn’t all that great.  However, many great shows started off where the acting was suspect so I’ll let it slide

Anyway.  Let’s get on with three reasons I’m gonna give this show one more go next week……

1.  How Will Jason Ritter fare?


I think everyone is curious about how Ritter is going to do.  I also think that all of us are rooting for him to be successful.  Again, I think his acting wasn’t all that great but I’m still curious to see how this all plays out.

2.  Lots of questions to be answered


Clearly we have some Lost elements in here and I think it’s safe to say we’re gonna have a very restless crowd on our hands if answers don’t come relatively quickly.  I mean a plane just disappears here?  Come on.  Still though, I think the show made it interesting enough that I want to keep watching and that’s all they really needed to know.  What is the President’s role in all this?  Who is that annoying red haired lady?  What’s the deal with the pilot?  Why was that girl kidnapped?  Where is she?  The show was good enough to bring up these questions and make me want to come back to find the answers.

3.  24 esque lines

This guy is silly

Oh baby.  There’s gonna be some really really stupid lines in this show.  You can tell immediately.  The secret service, gov’t or whatever the hell they got going on there gets pretty amped and says some pretty stupid shit already.  You can imagine what’s gonna happen when more chase scenes ensue.

We’ll see what happens next week…

  1. the guy in the third picture is the only reason I am watching it. His persuit of the plane was unreal and I am not actually sure who he is actually following at the time. It looks like he is following Jason from the first episode but I am hoping it is a bit more complicated than that.

    Jason’s reaction to the OMG! My Girlfriend has disappeared seems too insane at first. I am hoping in later episodes something is revealed as to why he is so paranoid. It is obvious that in the eight days he has uncovered something.
