[Crew]

YouTube - ALCATRAZ - First Look Trailer

Looks good but since Fox has the rights, it's probably D.O.A.

Starts Monday. Anyone gonna watch?

 

[NewToVolCountry]

yesh

 

[LittleCat]

I might watch. Looks interesting for the first few episodes.

 

[Burhead]

I might watch it.

Read an article earlier today on this show JJ Abrams makes the promise that this won't be a mind bender and it will have stand alone episodes. The article also pointed out that he made the same promises about "lost" and "Fringe". Ole JJ the wrost, best liar on TV.

[NewToVolCountry]

I watched ten minutes and was bored with it.

 

[GBO18]

It was alright not great. I will watch next week and see if it gets any better.

 

[jamesd1628]

I watched. Pretty good. Definite Lost influences. For one, it sounded like they were using the same soundtrack/sound effects.

They need better technical research. They made it sound like the Winchester Model 70 was some kind of rare specialty rifle. This even though the 70 has actually been one of the most popular and produced American bolt action rifles dating all the way back to the 1930's.

And don't even get me started on how a guy with no ID strolls into a CA (of all places) gun shop and walks out with a rifle on a prepaid CC. Uh huh.

Undecided if the show's really going to be able to hold me over the long haul though.

I meant to watch it last night. Seems cool and its got Sam Neill in it.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I enjoyed it overall.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Wasn't a big fan. Might try a couple more episodes. Just didn't care for the story all that much and it was just too far fetched for me.

 

[Vols520]

The lead actress is annoying.

 

[bigeasy]

I watched. Pretty good. Definite Lost influences. For one, it sounded like they were using the same soundtrack/sound effects.

The guy that composed for Lost (Michael Giacchino) is doing this also, hence the similarity.

 

[orangeblooded2]

Think it has some real possibilities.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I gave it another night and enjoyed the episode. Staying with it.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So far it's not grabbing my attention; I find it a bit boring. Hopefully it will pick up.

 

[Georgia Peach]

Lost's sloppy seconds. Nothing compares to Lost.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Last night's episode had a cameo by Blair's cousin (The Facts of Life).

 

[GBO18]

Last night's episode was the best so far. IMO.

 

[OsbourneBROS83]

I have enjoyed it. Although I watch it on Hulu, was the last one about the Bank robber?

Yes it was. Looks like the first guard pops out on next episode.

 

[OsbourneBROS83]

Yes it was. Looks like the first guard pops out on next episode.

Sweet....damn hulu doesnt do previews ( although they may in the clips...too lazy to look). I am curious how the guards will ultimately play in the scheme
