I will bump this thread again on the 17th for those who are waiting until it airs on TV. If your choosing to watch now, as a courtesy, post any detailed plot points in spoilers until the official premiere date.

TGM

I am looking forward to this.

SteelWill

Well it's certainly very Abramsy. I like the setting and think it has promise but it concerns me we kick this whole thing off with

DRG

I love the concept and I'm looking forward to this, but am I the only one worried about the fact this is a serialized scifi show on NBC? They have debuted a number of genre shows but since Heroes few last beyond a season - The Event, The Cape, Awake, Kings, Persons Unknown...

But Grimm finally bucked this trend. Maybe this is a sign of things turning around?

Shady12

Well, this is right up my alley...if it's good. Think I'll watch it on Hulu via my big screen later.

Gizmo

I'll give it a spin on Hulu Plus later.

superdeluxe

Love the concept, so it gets 4-5 episodes from me

conscience

Didn't like it. Amateur acting. Cheap sets. Pretty unrealistic concept when you have people running around with perfect haircuts and neatly pressed clothing.

And the ending was a total rip off of one of the major early plot points of Lost.

Deftones

i'm waiting.

DJariya

Are you calling Giancarlo Esposito an amateur? How dare you!!


I might watch this later tonight on Hulu Plus through my HDTV/Xbox 360.

conscience

He was pretty average here, tbh. It's the material - even the decent actors are hindered by it.

whotony

It's also on demand with Verizon FIOS

whotony

No it wasn't.

Anyway that ending.

Flatlander

If anything it reminded me of Jericho's twist. I thought it was okay.

conscience

It may not have been an exact retelling of that plot point but, yes, it is ripoff central.

BearFan

I thought the pilot was pretty solid and I'll give the show a shot. I can see a few characters that have the potential to be annoying though.

dfmaverick2

Also available on Comcast On Demand.

Haven't checked it out yet but will probably do so in the next few days.

pelenor

For them constantly talking about how dangerous the road is, maybe they should have set up some type of watch when they holed up in the airplane Gonna give it a few more episodes, as I was intrigued by the plot and the episode was okay, but it isn't anywhere near as suspenseful as Jericho was.

arminius

In the Emberverse the planet lost all electric and also chemical energy that made explosives. So they had no power and no way to make guns or explosives work. Is that true here or can they use chemical energy for weapons?

bigluelok

ill give it a shot

Raul3

So reading here, it seems it's available almost everywhere, so we should be able to watch it in the "big" screen, right? (With big screen I mean TV, of course)

whotony

Sure, whatever You say.

lwhy?

I just watched it via comcast on demand. I loved it. My only minor problem is with the lead actress. She's not a great actress, but she is nice to look at. Looking forward to see how the next few episodes turn out. It has The Voice as its lead in so ratings should hopefully be decent.

Orbi-Wan Techno

That was pretty good. We will definitely tune in for more.

adamblast

I didn't hate it, but it wasn't nearly as original or intriguing as I'd hoped script-wise.

I'm on the fence, and will probably wait to see what ratings or reviews are like before sampling again.

I'd rather wait a year and catch up later if it's a success than waste the time on the show if it gets cancelled or doesn't improve any.
