Anyone watching? I'm loving this show. It's only 3 episodes in, so not too late to catch up (hint, hint). It's time to start theorizing about what's going on. Alcatraz 2893009358

No one is watching this show? I'm really loving it. You guys don't know what you're missing.

Ill most likely check it out after the season is over. I have way too many TV shows that I'm working on right now (Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, The Walking Dead, Arrested Development and South Park just to name a few). Besides, the show looked a bit like a rip off of Lost. Different idea, yet similar. I don't know if you can confirm that for me or not. It looked slightly intriguing, rest assured I'll check it out--just not quite yet.

OK, the wife and I checked this one out on DVR last night. It seems like it has potential, but fuck if I know what's going on. It's typical JJ Abrams with the plot twisting confusion. We watch Fringe a lot and it reminds me of that so far. We're gonna stick with it a bit and see where it goes.

Just watched the fourth episode last night (fifth if you count the two-hour premier as two episodes). It was the best episode so far at tying the characters together. And Buddha, you're not supposed to know what's going on. If you did, the show would be over. Alcatraz 611030052

But I love shows like this ... nothing is wrapped up in a neat, little one-hour package. It's more like reading a book than watching a show. You spend a lot of time thinking about what's happening and coming up with theories. It makes for good discussion.

What did you watch so far ... the first two hours or just the one-hour pilot?

Not sure where I picked this up. It was an episode involving the guard Guy Hastings. It was the latest episode so not sure what number it is.

That was the latest episode. You need to watch it from the beginning. This is like picking up a book and starting on page 50.

Yeah, I told the wife we were behind the curve. A show like that or Fringe can't just be tuned in in the middle and expect to know what the hell is going on. Shit, I've been watching Fringe since episode 1 and I barely know what the hell's going on most of the time! Alcatraz 1797695198

I watched the entire show once and still have no clue what happened or why. Going to have to watch it again...

I tried checking it out...just can't seem to get into it.

I get why you like it though, with the plot twists and all, and trying to guess what's going on, or what's going to happen next. It's just not my thing I don't think, as far as TV shows go. I'm more into the soap opera-ey stuff or straight up comedies. I like a progressive story, not something I have to guess or think about. Usually if I'm watching a TV show, it's to relax and not have to think. Alcatraz 1797695198

I'm going to try and finish the season though, and maybe even get into it in the process. Takes me a bit to get into shows sometimes.
