Thanks for this thread. This show looks good. I'm primarily watching this for Adrienne Palicki, but I'm hoping it's totally great and I'll be hooked!

 ! Great to see you here, I thought I was all alone with this show  . My main reason for watching is Adrianne too, but the trailers are great, so I hope it's just not another show.__________________

Loved the Pilot. I saw it last week. TiVo had a special promo. James Wolk!
  It's an interesting series, very layered. And for me personally, after loving and really delving into Sawyer on Lost as a con-man, I find this to be a perfect detour/escape. I love the tag line about "never play yourself" / Can't wait to see where it goes. And if The Event becomes any wackier or out there, I might just cancel that Season Pass for Lonestar. For now, LS is being watched via Hulu. |

I'm definitely going to catch this show tomorrow, definitely. I thought, from the moment I saw the promos months ago, that this show seemed like the most promising of this new tv season.

I'm not sure how I feel about the show's writing/pacing, but Wolk's hot.
I'll give it at least a few more episodes for my eyes' sake.  |

I checked it out only for Adrianne
 but glad I did, thought it was well done for a pilot, it established the characters, the main SLs, the cast is greatI do think it might work well as a 13 episode series, IDK how long the premise can sustain itself __________________

I thought it had promise but I'm not sure how it can be a long running series but since it's on FOX it probably won't be.

I thought this was a fantastic pilot.
That's why it's so sad the ratings were so horrible. Only 4 million. I know FOX won't hesitate to pull the plug if it doesn't somehow gain a few more million in the coming weeks. Such a shame. James Wolk has so much charisma. This show should have made him a star. I guess this show should have been on cable instead. __________________
