This show will probably be a JJ Abrams style dribble-out-the-answers-as-slowly-as-possible exercise in frustration.

Answers can't "dribble-out" too slowly, seeing as it's a mini-series. :)
P.S. I know Abrams has nothing to do with this show but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to pass up any opportunity to have a good piss on him. |

So yes, even a limited run series can be too slow. Never underestimate the total mind-fucking ability of Mr. Abrams to create nothing out of nothing.

P.S. I know Abrams has nothing to do with this show (and the end of Lost, which I'm bitching about) but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to pass up any opportunity to have a good piss on him. I enjoyed it and will be watching next week. I'm guessing Cameron is in on it. He came out of his room way too quick after the guy said there was a key in the Bible, as if he already had the key in hand. |

I think either him or "Joe" might be in on it, especially with him refusing to talk about his past. They also gave a mysterious impression about Janet's mother when she was being interviewed by that reporter about her disappearance.
Initially I thought they hit some kind of shield or force field when they tried to leave the town, so I thought the tranquilizer implant was a cool surprise. Also, noone knows how much time passed since they were abducted. |
