Alcatraz

From what i have seen and read this looks like it could be a very good series from JJ Abraham really looking forward to it , anyone going to watch it ?

Alcatraz starts next tuesday 13th march on Watch sky channel 109 at 9pm

trailer below

Yep!

Been looking forward to this for a long time!!

same i am really looking forward to it

i wonder if linebreaker watches it, as it was first shown in OZ a couple of weeks back

Been looking forward to this since I saw the first mentions of it around a year ago, so will definitely be watching.

What worries me is if it will get a 2nd season since the ratings have dropped by almost half over the first 9 episodes and with Terra Nova just cancelled by the same station for much the same sin its hardly looking good for Alcatraz.

There's a slim hope that since its a JJ show Fox will stick with it for another year if its hitting the right demos, Fringe hasn't been great in ratings since it started but it does well with 18-49's and Fox haven't got anything to replace it with that there sure will be better. Though Fringe will be lucky to get a 5th season also and if it does it will most likely be its last.

A lot will depend what Fox have in the pipe line for next year but on a line through Terra Nova its looking bleak.

I read netflix are looking to keep Terra Nova alive.

Alcatraz looks good from the trailer and is something I will definately be watching.

It has a feel of 4400 and The Event with the story line of people being taken and brought back by some power (aliens in the case of 4400).

Hopefully it will last longer than the Event (which I enjoyed)

Hope Terra Nova is saved i liked that .

Seems every show i get into gets canned after one season

Yes it started here a few weeks back. Haven't sat through a whole episode of but it looks well made... might watch it next time.

anyone else watching it tonight?

its off to a very good start IMO.

Yes i was impressed with the opening episode , should build into a good series

The history of the place is eerie. Gotta start watching it! (saw the ad again)

Yeah watched it Tuesady.

Good start I thought.

Sam Neil is a decent actor.

The blonde is quite foxy, and of course Jorge Garcia aka Hurley should be good in it.

Like others I've watched the likes of:-

The Event
Terra Nova
Flashforward

All pretty decent, but only last 1 series, hopefully Alcatraz can do better.

I t really annoys me when they cancel a show im starting to like , someone said on another thread Terra Nova might have got a repreive and be coming back .

Alcatraz

i liked the little bit at the end , made you think is he a good guy or not

I watched the first episode and am completely lost by it.
So prisoners disappeared in the 60s, and now suddenly start reappearing without having aged at all. Got to be aliens!

Its JJ Abrahams so it could be anything , as long as it doesn't run for 6 full seasons then turn out that everyone was dead in the first place !!! i wont self implode

episode 2 tonight

although apparently in america it has been slated, and had poor ratings, and rumours are that there wont be a series 2

If Alcatraz gets a 2nd season I'll be astounded.

That was an interesting cliff hanger at the end of episode two, I didnt see that one coming. The boss man definitely knows more than he is letting on.

Missed it, will watch it tonight, got all the episodes downloaded so may just watch it through.

Yes i enjoyed lastnights episode , good ending aswell . Theres definatley secrets being kept by Sam Neil's character .

I drove by Sam Neill's farm which is just out of Cromwell in Central Otago a few years back. Lovely, spectacular scenery nearby... but I noticed a few dead stoats (road kill) with lots of eagles feasting off them by the roadside.

Still haven't got round to watching Alcatraz but I will someday soon!

Its worth a watch LB , it has potential to be a good series

Which episode are you up to?

There have only been 2 episodes shown here upto now , they are on on a tuesday night bat 9pm uk time on Watch

they are also repeated wednesday and thursday.

Enjoyed it, it was good, took me a bit to warm to it. Prison scenes were all that i enjoyed at first but i eventually warmed to the present day stuff.

Im up to date with episodes now. What do we think was in the room that the warden opened with those 2 keys at the end?

Not sure , could it be the thing/machine that transports everyone into the future ?

really is a cracking series thus far

Another good episode this week , i really want some clues now though as to were they all went

Sorry but I'm not enjoying this series as much as some of you.

I've never been a fan of Sam Neill, he only seems to have one facial expression regardless of what's going on - that is of scowling.

I like the basic idea though and the flashbacks are well done.
so I'll keep watching.

I've seen the whole series, they were all doing my head in a bit at the start and i was only enjoying the flashbacks, the current stuff does get better though and i started to enjoy it as a whole.

Dont tell me the ending , but is there a pay off or are things left up in the air

I'll PM you mate

Thanks

Am quite enjouying it. Tuesdays was a good episode.

Rebecca Madson gets better looking every week.

Well that didn't answer to many questions in the season finale , but i have enjoyed this show so hoping there is a season 2

Didnt answer anything really.

Would like to see a second season.

Shame if thats it.

I know you cant believe everything on Wikipedia but according to them the show has been cancelled , so answers we wont get .

yh in america it was slated so doubt will be series 2

shame because i enjoyed it immensely.

enjoyed shame its canceled heard that from IGN.

There should be a law stating that if a show is cancelled before a obvioue ending that the makers should tell what would of happened

13 episodes and we don't find out the truth. Don't believe it. There's nothing worse than investing the time into watching a series which I thought was quite enjoyable and then for it to be plugged before finding out the truth is gutting. Hopefully they release something that gives us answers, only fair.

Yeah shame, definately cancelled.

I wonder if the decision to cancel it was made prior to the last three episodes airing? Those last few were great.

Gutted it was cancelled before we had answers, it's like Flashforward all over again.

Yes another show i like and get into gets cancelled , at least Grimm has got a second season

Just watched the end of the series and then I've read it's been cancelled....unbelievable! What a complete waste of 13 hours of my life! Okay, yer it was slow and boring in some places but towards the end it actually got quite exciting and intriguing. Sam Neill is a shocking actor but I must admit there would of been so much to play with in series 2. Hopefully some US network can pick it up and take it on.

What a big letdown!
