I liked it. Sam Neill was pretty bad ass. The lead chick though, not so much.

It was ok. Lead chick not a very good actress but the rest of the cast decent enough to make it work.

I lost interest after about the first half an hour.

The pilot is re-airing tonight at 10:00, but it's an hour long. I thought (perhaps incorrectly so) that the episode that aired on Monday was 2 hours. Anyone know what the difference is? Will I just get a condensed version by watching the one that's on tonight?

They showed two episodes on Monday.

Pilot was good. Second episode was just meh.

"Alcatraz" will air at its regular time tonight. It'll air at 8p on FOX32HD following an all new episode of "House". Just so you know...

I'm still liking this show, but the lead actress is just terrible. Who the hell cast her in this role? Everything else is very good, but her role is definitely a head-scratcher.

I stopped watching. I can only keep up with the shows I watch now. I wanted to add another but
just can't do it.

True.

She has to say "Doc" at least 10 times an episode.

Still watching though.

I've not caught an episode yet at all...still considering.

I think the plot dealing with a different prisoner every week has been very well done, and guys playing the villians have all been good. Sam Neill plays a really interesting character that nobody really knows the whole story about either. I'd give it a shot.

And what about Parminder Nagra?

Are she and Sam Neil part of the group that caused the prisoners to disappear?

It's very good despite the lead actress.

I find it funny when the commercial references they were associated with LOST. That's an immediate "Not Interested" to me.

Not that I didn't like LOST, but I'm not wasting my time again on something that goes nowhere.

Yeah that turns a lot of people away. Hopefully its not that way. Maybe more like Alias.

Fringe has consistently been one of the best Sci-Fi series on TV since it premeired. Why the LOST people hate?

I just assume that most of the stuff they do will be at least somewhat similar to LOST, and I don't really need to deal with that again. I liked LOST, but looking back I realized that 90% of the show was just tricks to make you think something really cool was coming up.

I really liked LOST, and found the ending to be acceptable given how many things they tried to tie up but I don't have any faith that any other shows by them wouldn't do the same.
