hi all

the event restarts on the 14th march just found it on my tv guide (uk)

Finally got round to watching this - the first three eps have been great IMO, I shall be watching more this afternoon.

I hope they reveal all by Ep 22 tho - as it currently looks like season 1 will be the only season.

I can't find the full interview but it sounds like everything will be revealed by the end of the season with something totally new happening in season 2.

Just watched ep 15 - really good and spectacular, this is really starting to get interesting, and Sofia is now well and truely back in charge as Thomas is dead.

Agreed, the show is really starting to improve now. It's just a shame that it's probably too late now.

Why do the US always do this with shows - Flashforward was the same last year - it got better towards the end, but again too late to save it.

Well, this is something I never thought I'd say... this week's episode was excellent!

Shame it's too late

It''s all about the viewing figures, regardless whether a show hemorrhages viewers because of lousy scheduling or an extended hiatus

Hi all,

any fans of the NBC/Channel 4 show 'The Event' on here?

threadbare · 03-09-2011, 17:08

I was wondering if anyone actually enjoyed the show enough to join one of the campaign groups to save it.

It's a shame the show was cancelled. It would be nice if another broadcaster took up the show for a 2nd season or maybe a miniseries/DVD to conclude it.

Yes I watched it and after struggling through quite a few of the decidedly sleep inducing earlier Eps I was shocked and annoyed that it got canned just when it looked like it was going to live up to the hype.

I'm over it now, the moment is gone and I couldn't care less if it gets brought back or not.

If the recent revival of Primeval is anything to go by it might be better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Tezcatlipoca · 03-09-2011, 18:07

It's dead. Move on.

It was flawed from the start, and despite being retooled during its excessive hiatus it was still not enough to save it. The ratings were shocking (worse than FlashForward's, IIRC), and there's no way any network would want to waste money bringing back to life something that no one bothered to watch originally. Very, very occasionally an online campaign may actually work (see the "Nuts campaign" for "Jericho"), but most of the time the fans are just... urinating in the wind.

Yeah I agree they could have done with upping the pace. I would hope that if the show was to survive that the writers might take that on board. I admit I nearly didn't bother returning to the show after the hiatus but I was glad I did. Then they cancelled it...

Like others have pointed out previously, it's all about numbers.

I watched it all, and enjoyed it.

I think they should do a "Jericho" and and at least do 3-4 episodes and wrap it up properly

I think that's all most people want is some kind of closure.

A mini-series, perhaps picked up by SyFy, would be ideal.
