I am not convinced at all yet, then again I never got the whole obsession with Lost either, so perhaps I am not the best person to judge this JJ Abrams character, although I do think the movies I have seen that he has made are better than average.

So far looks really promising, and I'm really digging Sarah's.. erm.. assets :shiftyninja:

Well to be fair all those shows sucked :p

To each his own, TSCC is amongst one of my favourite shows ever, started a bit slow, but towards the end of the second season it got really amazing. Flashforward in the other hand, started with a bang but it got even more confusing towards the end.

I don't know if I'd say this is time travel. I think that may be jumping to conclusions. There's plenty of other possibilities, such as cryogenics. Remember they were taking an enormous amount of blood from these people, why? They were clearly doing experiments with the blood. And the agent, Lucy, remember she hasn't aged either. So what were they doing with the blood? I don't believe this has anything to do with time travel. More like anti-aging.

so it could be;

time travel

anti aging

clones

cryogenics

anything else?

That's a good question. After thinking about it for some time, I'm not really sure I was originally correct. Considering that all of the prisoners were taken and not a single guard was found, something definitely happened that was sudden. I find it hard to believe that all those guards wouldn't put up a fight if it was someone taking those prisoners to freeze them and not a shred of evidence would be left behind?

The other, way far out there, is a mixture between The 4400 and Fringe. In The 4400, the future abducted people from the past and gave them special powers to help save the future. Maybe something similar is happening here?

Whatever happened, it was fast and gave everyone on the island little to no time to thwart the attack and it would seem that they don't even remember it.

I've only seen the first two episodes so far and I think it's great. I think the production quality is really good but some of the dialogue from Dr. Diego Soto was a little too clich?.

Im not fully convinced yet with this show and I usually don't say this. Its looking like the premise of each episode will be another murderer coming back, doing some wack style murder around town and the undercover crew chasing it down. I guess Ill be more into it once they start revealing more about they are coming back, but it does look promising

The third episode was much better than the first two, IMO.

I am on the opposite side of things. I felt like the third episode was just more of the same. I know this isn't LOST, but I was hoping that this would have a rich story like LOST. Fringe didn't have that, and still doesn't, so I was holding onto hope that this show would and it doesn't, at least not yet.

Just finished the 3rd episode (Kit Nelson). Man, still don't know what to think of the show. Same as Hurmoth, I feel its more of the same - the ONLY intriguing thing for me is finding out why Sam Neill aged and none of the other Alcatraz characters did. The preview for next week's episode looks like we might start getting some answers - or at least a twist, rather than the typical "inmate from the past does the same thing in the present".

The end of the 3rd episode, where the doctor makes an appearance, was pretty damn cool though. Why are they are re-creating Alcatraz...?

I think Sam aged because he wasn't on Alcatraz when whatever went down. He was just a part of the inspection crew that arrived to find out that they were all missing. But he is slowly putting it back together for sure.

has this been cancelled? the next two episodes are a 2-part season final where stuff will be revealed. 13 episodes seems short.

nope it was only given a 13 episode season and yeah they are kinda treating it as a series finale just incase
