I'm in - but cautiously because of way too much hype. Nothing can be as good as this much hype.

I set the DVR a few days ago. It looks like a good movie idea. I hope they can actually make a few seasons out of this...

Speaking of new shows, has anyone seen "The Community" or "Community" yet? Not even sure if it has premiered yet.

I watched the first 15 minutes or so online. It was decent. Almost a complete Lost ripoff from the opening scene but decent.

I'm looking forward to watching the full episode tonight.

I watched it last night and it has potential. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that it will be just like Lost in that I'll like each episode, but when they're done, I wonder what in the hell I just watched. (Maybe that says more about me than the show :oops: ). So far, it even has 2 lost actors in it. Hopefully, there won't be any "smoke" creature.

If you missed it last night, it'll be on again tonight at 7p on ABC, along with rebroadcasts of the series premieres of "Modern Family" & "Cougar Town" with Courtney Cox Arquette. Just letting you folks know... :wink: 8)

I think the concept is really interesting and the characters were really dull. Maybe that can be corrected with Charlie from Lost coming in next week but there isn't really a single character from last night that I was invested in after viewing. A good story should draw you into and have you wanting to know what is going to happen to a character next. After the show was over, I was just thinking I wish they could scrap all these people and show me what is happening in Washington or with an entirely different set of characters.

I like Harold from Harold & Kumar. I think his story has the most potential, but I hope its more than just "he didn't have a vision so that means he's dead". Did you notice how he wasn't in the car immediately after everyone woke up from the blackout? Obviously there could be a simple explanation, but it would be cooler if he is like the guy in the surveilance video and he didn't black out at all and there's something much deeper going on.

Or, if they are going to stick with the simple "he's going to be dead in 6 months" storyline then I hope they do more with that angle. There has to be millions of people who didn't have visions because they will be dead so I hope the expound on that and how those people react knowing they have less than 6 months to live.

Btw, there are actually 3 Lost actors in it as far as I can tell....Charlie, Penny and in the previews I saw that woman who got ripped off by Sawyer and then later went on to befriend Kate in a bar. Plus, at the beginning of the show there was a billboard for Oceanic Airlines.

overall, the show has a lot of potential, but lets see if they build on that or if it fizzles out. I do agree that the characters didn't grab you from the start the way they did on Lost.
