J.J. Abram's 'Alcatraz'.


Recommended Posts

It looks good. If J.J. is behind it, I'm in. He hasn't steered me wrong yet. LOST and Fringe are proof of that. The show premiers on Sunday, January 8th 2012, but it will be on Monday's at 9 p.m. EST after that. Right after one of the best new shows of 2011, Terra Nova. It will be one of the best new shows of 2012!! Awake will be the best, then The River, Missing, and then Alcatraz.

The best new shows of 2011 are: Terra Nova, Revenge, Person of Interest, Ringer, Unforgettable, Prime Suspect, A Gifted Man, and The Secret Circle. I don't work for any of the networks. I just love watching great and interesting, suspenseful dramas.

Anyone watch this last night? I thought it was a decent start. Pretty much, classic JJ.

I did, I thought it was OK. I just hope they don't drag out the mystery too much and actually give answers. Fox has a tendency to hype up a show, but if ratings tank they will either kill it or move it to Friday (which is essentially killing it.)

This show looks awful from the trailers...

LOL @ JJ Abrams.

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty stupid from that awful commercial I kept seeing.

It probably didn't help that I was trying to watch the daily show online and the video player wigged out and started playing that commercial over and over again. I've been conditioned to hate it :laugh:

I watched it and so far I did like it, it will be interesting to see where they will take this down the road. I am hesitant in watching a new show because most of hte new shows that I started to watch (or semi new) always seem to end within 1-2 seasons (i.e. Sarah Connor Chronicles, V, The Event, Flash Forward etc...) so I might hold off until the 3-4 season (if there are any?) before I seriously start to watch more of it.

Well to be fair all those shows sucked :p

Watched both episodes today. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide. Definitely cool seeing the City and its landmarks, very familiar with it.

I just hope they have a solid premise for all of it and not just some lame explanation. That's always my worry with these shows.

All I have to do is look at 'House' to see how Fox can keep stuff around for too long. That show is a disaster since the 3rd season.

:cry: - So agree with you there - i miss TSCC and FlashForward the most!

But saw an episode last night - not bad I thought. Will see the other episode today :)

I wonder if they will try to introduce Al Capone into the series somehow? since history said that he died in Alcatraz and they could bring him back in many ways? have to wait and see?

Al Capone died at his home in Palm Island, Florida: http://www.nytimes.c.../bday/0117.html ;-)

[edit] He went to Alcatraz in 1934 and was released in 1939.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
