Remind me, please .....ta x

Remind you what it is, or remind you to watch it  come Monday?

Ooops sorry, i meant can you remind me of the programme and what is about, i am sure i watched it.

I have never heard of it.

Nor have i....must have been more of a 'do' than an event.

Gave up on it long ago as it followed the usual formula of the recent crop of American sci-fi series of endless flashbacks and spending more time expaining characters' back stories than plot developments.

I've never heard of it either even though a lot of progs we watch are on Ch4. Years ago I went to a concert at Wembley called The Event but I just know you can't be talking about that lol.

I got bored of it during the first episode.

Oh i thought it was that wedding thing, where strange people married each other!
Ok i am off to bed, as you were !

It's American.
America has a black president.
There's this group of people who appeared to have survived a plane crash when we first saw them, but some think they are aliens - and it wasn't actually a plane crash.
Their leader is called Sophia and her son is Thomas. Sophia and the president were quite good friennds at one point, but their relationship is a bit strained
They don't appear to age as quickly as 'normal' humans.
Leila and her boyfriend were on a cruise and she was kidnapped from it and everyone denied she was ever on the ship.
Leila's sister Samantha has also been kidnapped and Leila and her boyfriend are trying to find her.
Other strange things have happened.
Thomas and HIS girlfriend have launched a sattelite - for why?
That was at the end of the last episode.

Thanks for the reminder, I had to google to remind myself what it was..I liked this show and glad its back....

Apparently it's still season 1 - episodes 11 to 22.

thank you .. will watch

I saw the first one, but it didn't 'grab' me.

I watched the first one but never made it to the second

I saw the advert for this, i hadnt heard of it before and was gonna give the first season a go before monday. After reading this thread it seems i would just be wasting my time.

You not into 'strangeness' things then Jen, like LOST?

It gripped me from the stert!

I would give it a go, before making up your mind totally, Everyone can have a different perspective.

True fluffy. You ever watched fringe?

Can't say I've ever heard of that.
But sometimes I stumble across things that I enjoy, then realise after that I have no idea what the programme was actually called.

Thanks for explaining fluffy

It's good! well i think so lol Hard to describe though.

I'm watching both "The Event" AND "Fringe" (although I'm having to get caught up on Fringe, I'm still back in October, I think.

I liked it. .

but am pee'd off with all the American shows being split into two parts this season .. lots of others have been like that....  

am a Fringe fan as well Lori. .you have good taste

Last few eppys of fringe have been

 gonna have looksie at the event now i think

I thought Fringe was on a break.. .have I missed some of it?  hope not..

all this Sky taking over everything is making me lose track of what is being shown and on what channel. .don't get the Sky Atlantic one so am hoping non of the stuff I used to watch gets shown on there instead. .will not be a happy bunny

upto s3 e15 is out online Olly 

cant seem to get the event to work anywhere atm will have to try another time

phew thanks Jen..  I thought I'd missed it on the TV schedules.. I am not a fan of online watching. .my puter screen is too small and I prefer to lounge on my sofa watching it on the TV instead.. Usually V+ my favourite stuff so I can watch at my leisure..

I am a couch potato

but then I have nowt better to do anyway..

I'm just  too impaitent Olly i even watch things online that are on telly 2days later!! I just cant wait lol Although i am an eppy behind on Fringe (i'm upto 14)

I am not sure what episode part one stopped at...  I registered with Sky Never miss and clicked notify me for when shed loads of programmes restart.. like I said couch potato..

I am funny about watching stuff at scheduled times on the box. .[well recording for watching later. . and hate spoilers too ] I like the wait for the proper thing...  also my eyes go funny if I stare at a puter screen for too long anyway.. only time I've watched stuff online is if I have missed the start or an episode but then I look to download if I can and burn to DVD..

I'm at the episode called Amber 31422 (not sure what number that is....)

Thats s3e5 Lori

and you are at s3e14? Holy cow, I'm behind.
So, I should tell you how I'm watching.  I have an iPad that has internet when there is wireless available, but not like my phone. My husband and I TIVO a bunch of shows, but we got terribly behind on Fringe. One day, I saw a guy watching something on his iPhone on the bus, and it got me thinking that I could catch up on Fringe by buying episodes from iTunes and watching on my iPad (bigger screen).
So, I went from reading Nathanial Hawthorne and Herman Melville on the bus to watching Fringe.
How very...high-minded of me (not!)

Just a reminder for those who are interested.

This looks good from the adverts I've seen for it. Might try and start watching this from the very beginning. How many seasons has there been?

This is still the first series. It's returning after the long Winter break.

[Edit]
Tonight's double-bill consists of episodes 11 and 12 out of 22.
[/Edit]

Do you think if I started watching tonight I'd be able to grasp what's happened reasonably quick? Or is it like Lost where if you haven't watched it from the start you've got absolutely no chance of knowing what the hell is going on.?

It is a bit mysterious in parts, but not quite as mystifying as Lost.

Also, they might give us a brief synopsis, as the break has been so long.

Just one question (there may not even be an answer to this) but has 'The Event' happened yet?

Cos I'm thinking of Flashforward and how if you missed the actual flashforward in the first ep then there wasn't much point in watching it.
