For those who haven't seen the trailer of this show...

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YxB_BkNjLD8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YxB_BkNjLD8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

It looks okay but I just don't have too much confidence since its on Fox.

I think it looks good! I think I'd rather the myster went on for a while, but sounds like they will figure out most of it in the pilot and that will be the springboard for the series.

The production quality looks amazing! I'd be very interested to see what the breakdown of a hollywood film budget is. For example, how much do you need for "that look", and how much is wasted on salaries of stars, assistants, etc.?

It hasn't premiered yet. Not until September. Production of the series doesn't start until next month.

The pilot has already been leaked. I didn't enjoy it, but my interest was piqued a bit in the final 10 minutes. If nothing else, this show is more promising than "True Blood." But I wasn't very impressed.

I watched it last night. I enjoyed it. The pilot wasn't Lost or Alias quality, but i'll keep watching.

His name is Groucho for a reason.

I will gladly pass on watching the leaked version and wait until September.

Ehhh, it doesn't look too bad, but I can't see it lasting much longer than "The Inside" or "Killer Instinct" did.

Well, it sounds like this is going to be a very expensive show. I am pretty sure that Prison Break/Bones ratings (7-9M viewers) won't cut it, especially since another studio (Warner Brothers) is producing it.

I think it needs 24/House-type numbers to make a full season.

Keep in mind this is Part 1 of a 2 part pilot.

I watched this last night and it wasn't horrible, the opening was actually great - on the plane.. although i had a quick Lost flashback there for a second...

but as the episode wore on I kind of lost interest in the characters and what they were doing. there was plenty going on and some good, creepy special effects but I think the weak link for me was the acting. a lot of it, imo, felt uninspired - like the actors were just reading their lines instead of living the moment.

I actually started to wish it would just end by the time I got to the final act.

Very meh, but I'll give it a second chance.

He was in the Mighty Ducks. Reason enough to give the guy a break.

Ditto that. I can wait until the real premiere. But I will be there, and if is even half as good as the promos make it look, I'm already hooked.

But he was in Cruel Intentions.

I kid.

I guess I'll give it a try. It at least should be better than the Sarah Conner tv show.

I watched it and thought it was pretty interesting. It reminded me of the X-Files sans aliens.

The premise is interesting enough to me, but from watching that clip on tv.com, the lead actress seems horrible. I'll still check it out when it premieres.
