I really enjoyed the pilot and will definitetly be watching next week. Show has high potential. And yes, it does have somewhat of a LOST feel to it--I think the two shows could be linked. Don't know if Abrams will go that route, but it would be cool to have hints dropped that indicates they exist in the same television universe.

It actually reminds me more of "Threshold" than "X-Files" for some reason.

God I hope not. The opening scene on the plane screamed X-Files to me. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. Threshold got old really quick and I'm almost as big of a Brandon Braga fan as JJ Abrams.

It's also interesting that some of the actors hold reoccurring roles on both shows. One of the actors plays two roles that are very similar

I watched the encore of the premier Sunday night and really liked it. Watched the second episode and was kind of, meh. The first couple of episodes after a pilot are always kind of tricky. Trying to find a balance of still introducing the characters, and advancing the storyline.

If Dr. Bishop is an expert that has personally worked in every single field for every episode, then I might have to drop the show. So far, there have been two episodes and he has been an expert in a fringe science that would have taken a lifetime of research for each. If you take away the 17 years in the nut house. That's 20-30 years to cover two lifetimes of research so far.

X Files rip off. Joshua Jackson is mis-cast and over his head in a lead role.
Flat out stinker.........................too bad. :(

Check out "Primeval" on the BBC network for a more entertaining sci fi show. It's on Satuday night.

And, "Heros" will start back up soon. It's still a fun show to watch.
