Persons Unknown -- "Static" -- 08/07/10




Synopsis:
Spoiler:
After reprogramming, Joe reappears in town, but claims not to recognize anyone, while Kat and Renbe find themselves down and out in South America.


Episode 9 of 13

Father Joe, Prisoner Joe, THX 1138 Joe... which ever edition you prefer, looks like he's the focus again tonight... but remember:

"By the end of the summer, all will be revealed." *

* Aren't you glad that the "time invested to Lost vs Persons Unknown ratio" is about 10:1.

Yea that ending wasnt obvious at all. I'm wondering when the lady from the Organization was asking how "the other person hasnt arrived yet?" could that be Erika, or possbily Kat or Renbe?

Either way, this show keeps getting stupider and stupider, and because of this damn website, I cant turn away!

For such a ominous shadow organization with cameras all over the place - the main command center had wires hanging from the ceiling and tacked to the walls - you would think they could do a better job setting the place up.. fish the wires through the walls

I guess they must use wireless cameras on every street corner in the world.

I'm getting that Prison Break vibe from this shadow org.. these shows can't pull it off well.

Please mommy - I want to get off.

No Persons Unknown Saturday night because of Gymnastics on NBC.

However, I have some absolutely mind boggling news regarding the remaining episodes. You all are going to either say WTF!! or say fuck this show!! after reading this:


NBC is cutting its "Persons Unknown" run short by one episode.

Said installment, "Seven Sacrifices," however will turn up online, a network spokesperson has confirmed to the site exclusively.

"Persons Unknown" returns next Saturday, August 21 at 8:00/7:00c with its 10th episode ("Identity"). That week, episode 11 (the aforementioned "Seven Sacrifices") will make its online debut before the show signs off with its two-hour finale ("And Then There Was One"; "Shadows in the Cave") on Saturday, August 28 starting at 8:00/7:00c.

^^ So, if I get this correctly. Episode 10 will air next Saturday (the 21st) at 8pm. Episode 11 will air online only that same week. The following week will be the 2 hour series finale on the 28th.

That makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Here's to hoping Comcast On Demand gets this skipped episode.

That's okay... I'll wait for the DVD release to catch up.

Yeah right.

Bastards. They lied. All WON'T be revealed (unless epi 11 is complete filler).
I shouldn't have watched any of it. It isn't very good, but I was hanging in there rather than bailing, because I figured, "well, only a few more epis. I may as well find out what's going on." I think this is the last straw on serials that don't deliver.

I can either watch it on minute-screen, fuzzy-definition, or skip all four remaining episodes. This news brings me a LOT closer to "fuck it."

Look at the bright side ...

It's one less episode to watch.

It should be on Hulu, that's fine by me.

Fine by me also. I don't mind streaming stuff from there. But, for the barely 1M people who are still watching according to Nielsen, I bet most of them aren't going to catch this news and say "WTF??" with the missing episode.

For next week, you should just combine episodes 10 & 11 into 1 thread.

Re: Persons Unknown -- "Static" -- 08/07/10

Just finished watching this episode. The budget constraints of this show are becoming a little more obvious. That Command center looked really cheap/low tech for such a mysterious shadow organization. I know this show is co-produced with a Mexican Production company, but I found it funny that none of the spanish dialogue (even though it was minimal) had any subtitles. I assume NBC just didn't want to bother.

Once you saw Mark and Kat running in the jungle and going nowhere, it was so obvious they were going to run into that town.

Last week's episode with Joe locked up and hallucinating and it was later revealed that he was a priest was probably the worst of the bunch thus far. The scene that was idiotic and painful to watch was when the black soldier and Moira had some kind of moment and she got misty eyed and denied him of his advances.

Can't fricking wait for this train wreck to be done with.

Yeah, we're gonna need someone to go ahead and watch episode 11 online, when it's available, and post a good synopsis for us so we're ready for the finale, ok...? Thanks.

That makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

NFL Preseason Football is airing on NBC at 8:00PM on 8/21. According to my Tivo Season Past, Episode 10 will air here at Midnight 8/23 (Late Sunday Night/Early Monday Morning)

Of course with Football on Sunday Night too, it could be delayed or even pre-empted if there's overtime.

Good to see Shepard Book found a new job after Firefly was canceled.

Persons Uknown is being pre-empted by ..... The Cleveland Browns.

Persons Uknown is rumored to be insulted.
