[glow=red,2,300]Where will you be the evening of January
16?[/glow]
huh, interesting. I haven't heard or seen anything about this on
television :-\

“We’re only a month or so away from the premiere of J.J. Abrams’
latest TV presentation, Fox’s Alcatraz. As is to be expected
from a show with Abrams’ name attached, we don’t know much
beyond the basic concept: inmates from the notorious Alcatraz
prison vanish in the past and begin appearing on the streets of
modern-day San Francisco. The latest teaser for the show doesn’t
really provide any new information, but it does play up the
mystery and make me want to watch the show, so I suppose that
counts as a victory.”[/quote]

I've been patiently waiting for the premiere of this. I've seen
a few promo's for the show, but nothing on par with say Terra
Nova which was hitting me over the head with it every 5 minutes.

FYI, I'm gonna watch The Rock tonight before the show airs. The
move that is, not the wrestler.

The Pilot sets up some interesting storylines that has the
potential to have a good payoff down the road, that is if they
get that far. As far as the first hour goes, even with a cool
premise, I'm not feeling it with some of the characters,
especially that of Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones). She seems
oblivious about the whole scenario pertaining to Alcatraz
inmates that suddenly return 50 years later without having aged
a day and just accepts it as is. And she seems a bit to young to
really care about the history of the inmates. The only
connection she has is that she finds out later that the man that
killed her partner was in fact an inmate himself and who also
happens to be her Grandfather. As for Dr. Diego “Doc” Soto
(Jorge Garcia), who I really liked on LOST, he just doesn't have
much to do except follow Rebecca around. Granted, it's only one
episode and I'm willing to give the writers a pass as they set
up the series. But I was expecting a lot more from him than what
we get in the series opener.
Emerson Hauser (Sam Neil) is the mysterious one that will offer
the viewers the chance at for plenty of digging with regards to
who he is and what his endgame is,. which kind of gets addressed
somewhat at the end of the Pilot. I purposely avoided spoilers
and really didn't allow myself to over think the series leading
up to the premiere last night. So I was kind of surprised to
see....
[move]*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPO
ILERS*[/move]
[spoiler]
...that the inmates that are apprehended end up in a present-day
"Alcatraz", which is a nice twist as it's modeled after the
original Alcatraz interior. But it's the fact that Hauser who is
portrayed as a "good guy" when capturing Jack Sylvane (Jeffrey
Pierce) suddenly comes off as a corrupt Warden, much like that
of the Associate Warden E.B. Tiller (Jason Butler Harner) from
1960 Alcatraz.

Present-day "Alcatraz"

[/spoiler]
This being a J. J. Abrams show, I of course kept my eye out for
any mention of the number 47. For those that don't know about
J.J., he has pretty much put this number in all of his series
from Alias to LOST to Fringe and now Alcatraz. So, let the 47
drinking game continue on. Take a shot everytime you see or hear
the number pop up.....

'47' Drinking game begins now......
[/center]
Like I said earlier, the series has a lot of potential and I
will stick around as I have faith in J.J. fixing some of the
problems and making this a kick-ass series. He has never
disappointed me and I don't think he will here. I'm along for
the ride. I gotta point out that Jeffrey Pierce has a knack for
playing roles that have ties to the past and somehow resides in
San Francisco, as is the case in Journeyman, Episode 5: The
Legend Of Dylan McCleen
