The EvƎnt

[QUOTE=OtherPplsDrama;209136] I have so many questions!! Is the Dad in on it? Did he have his wife killed? Is the little girl dead? WHAT IS UP WITH THE CREEPY HIPPIE COUPLE?? So yeah, I'm pumped for this show so far.[/QUOTE] The only thing I [I]think[/I] I know so far is the "Hippie couple" is in on it with Sean's almost fiancée (they exchanged looks and I have a good feeling that the whole drowning thing was a setup she lead him into...) I don't think the Dad was part of it, but now he is because they have the little girl and they told him to crash the plane to save the girls life. Er...what, at least that is what I think right now. I also suspect aliens are involved. Well, it could be earth people from the future or something like that. :D

[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;209261]I know he was the pilot, but who told him to crash the plane to save the girl's life?[/QUOTE] Ya, that was just part of my speculation based on how Sean was telling the pilot (paraphrased) "I know you want to save her" [I]but[/I] "You can't trust them." [QUOTE] The show was a bit confusing, going back and forth, from minutes to months, but it was also pretty interesting.[/QUOTE] Yes, I said to myself, "Oh, boy..." when they went from a 13 minute flashback to a 13 week flashback to a 13 month flashback, to the present, to an 8 days ago flashback, etc. That said, I was able to pretty much follow along - although I can see this show losing a lot of views right off the top because of its complexity. I have a feeling if you missed a week, you'd be forever lost.

From everything that I have read about the show (being careful to avoid any and all spoilers) we should have answers soon (I'm hoping for time travelers from the near [+100 years] future that accidentally screwed up something in the past while messing with their giant particle accelerating machine [which caused a time leap] and they are stuck in the present, trying to fix things they broke so they don't get warped out of existence like Marty McFly in Back to The Future, heh.) Unlike Lost, they say they're committed to posing a question and then giving an answer right away, so it doesn't seem like they are just making stuff up as they go along. We'll see... p.s. Why all the alien animosity? They are carbon based, intelligent beings too! ;)

[QUOTE=Old Friend;210053]Why is the thread title stylized like the show itself? Just saying.[/QUOTE] Because we have the technology to do so (we got it from aliens.)

[QUOTE=Old Friend;210080]SO what were the ratings?[/QUOTE] A 3.7 rating and 11.2 million viewers.

Lots of good information tonight and a great episode in my opinion. This is the breakout show of the year as far as I am concerned. [B]Notes:[/B] [LIST] [*]I think I was wrong about the girlfriend. Not in on it. [*]The flashbacks are going further and further back. It is like Lost, but totally different at the same time as to how they deal with the story jumping around. [*]They really pushed the 'aliens' theory, which means there is no way they are aliens. [*]My guess is still, time travelers, with the theory that they can't share information for fear of changing the future (or something to that effect.) [*]The reason their DNA is 1% different is because they come from a time so far in the future that natural evolutionary progression has changed their makeup slightly which would explain the DNA disparity (or possibly they have used technology to engineer their longevity.) [*]It seems like there are many factions. The unaware. The "good" evoHumans. The "bad" evoHumans. The "good" government forces. The "bad" government forces. And finally our hero Sean and whoever he can get on his side. It is hard to tell at this point who is who and with each event which faction is pulling the strings. [/LIST] I'm definitely hooked and do think they are doing a good job at answering questions as they pose them. All my theories are probably wrong, but I love a show that actually makes me come up with theories! There are not many "challenging" shows these days...
