One last discussion. Will anyone be with me?
Hello Tess! I may go back and forth- think Jo is doing a live chat for the Lost anniversary tonight.
I'll be around. I'm going to try to watch live tonight (if my laptop cooperates.) Wish me luck!
Hi Amused
That will be great. I'm hoping my power doesn't go out. My lights are flickering.
Hi, SG, JT, Amused! Made it here in time. Happy Lost 'The End' one- year anniversary! (altho not sure i should say 'happy')
SG, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your power not to go out and for you, Amused, so your laptop cooperates. The weather has been bad here too, but nothing like in MO.. gosh, my heart goes out to those affected by the tornado.
Darn, think i missed Jo's live chat!
Looking forward to tonight and it sounds like the last 10 minutes will be revealing!
OK - multitasking here we go!
This show has the habit of bad timing coinciding with real-life events
I just realized I'm recording the Columbus channel which has weather reporting. I'm watching a Cincinnati channel.
Hi Swan and JT
The storm has passed by so I think my power will be ok. They had tornado warning out west of Columbus about an hour ago.
Whee- lots going on.
think the prez was wired?
oh, maybe JT!
The Prez needs to hit Javis with his cane.
LOL, SG
oh, no!
Get up Prez!
Oh oh- Simon!
Whoa i was hoping he had a vest.
I just yelled come on Vicky at the tv. lol
Simon!
C'mon, prez! Take out that audio of Jarvis' guilt! (would have been great if he was wired, JT)
You called JT wired.
Hee hee
YAY!! You called it, JT!!
Maybe the last chance to try and beat the writers. Oh well- whatever we don't find out we can imagine.
She's pregnant.
I was just gonna say that, SG!
Yeah, we can write the continuation of The Event
They left because of the EVENT? the rebirth?
Uh oh. Now what?
all the answers are in the scroll, even how it all ends.
meet you at Dempsey's office, LOL
Oh great- the scroll. Well, maybe they can make it into a book! lol
Bringing the people is the event. 2 1/2 billiion people landing at once would instantly kill the humans. Wouldn't it?
yep, JT.. a book would work
they found the portal!
If it wasn't a portal, SG, I would agree with you. wonder how this is gonna work anyway????? The Earth could explode!
So...why can't Earth absorb another 2.5 biilion? I think we have room.
There's suppose to be something new at Dempsey desk on the website according to a tweet I read.
Not sure I trust the scrolls and their prophecy. Are we 'variables' taken into account here?!? what about free will!?
Earthquakes, floods, strange tremors, unnatural weather and geologic disturbances...are we living this?
yeah, We knew that.
You called it, SG! Now it's my turn to call something.
hmmm, how about we see Dempsey again before the hour is up?
Armegeddon!
the whole planet is coming?? Mrs. President calls it home?
So - they brought the whole planet- and it is mrs M's home.
Snap!
They brought the whole planet?
Holy moley!
so she was one of "them" after all.
and this is all we get? Oh man...
So Mrs Prez was an EBE after all.
That was a nice twist that the event is something different and that the EBE's were trying to protect humans. but then, why did Sophia come back with the group to Earth at all?
They had no choice? Oh there is more tovthis story, fer shur
1-Does this mean there's some Sofia people on earth that don't believe in what she and her son were doing and don't follow her ideal?(I'm referring to Mrs.president and how she had no contacts with any of her native people who were with Sofia)
2-so the event is the rebirth. i guess if the Sofia people stayed back then, the people of the earth would not have existed because of the "event" as Simon says lol
3-sucks that shaun went back to blondie..smh
4-hopefully there's another season. More on what shaun's role in all this should be. what the president's wife would scheme...
I dont think they were trying to protect humans. This is like a scenario of "between a rock and a hard place". I dont think the humans would have chosen to die for another race, nor chosen to welcome them either. its funny how them killing humans is a form of protection in that sense.
Hi bigo- If there's another season it will have to be somewhere else- but who knows. It would be nice to get a little humor in the show if they do go on.
I hope they find a way to give us a second season.
I meant what Simon said about leaving the Earth because if they stayed through the Event, the humans would die.
I'm confused
Show's cancelled unless some other network picks it up. :-/
Well, time travel has to be involved, and they know what would happen if they stayed because it already did. They were trying to escape the future, which is coming true anyway...
argh.
Next?
Jason Ritter just put this up:
Ladies and Gentlemen! Please tweet #NetFlix & @Netflix & let them know we want #TheEvent season 2
I had heard that Netflix might get into producing shows.
Thanks, JT.. will do!
I find this Netflix possibility fascinating. I wonder how they'll handle that? I have the streaming only Netflix now (no dvds). You can get more, better and newer things with the dvd-also choice. I heard that they wanted to give the streaming-only all the same titles, but certain cable stations and others were complaining about pushing them out of the competition. I suppose they'll be almost like the premium cable channels if they start producing their own shows.
http://www.theeventiscoming.com/blog/2011/05/24/all-good-things-come-to-a-cliffhanger/
They could wrap this up in a mini-series or two-hour special. I'm so sick of every show ending in a cliffhanger even though there is always the real possibility that it will be cancelled. I've been watching a lot of UK shows (thanks to streaming Netflix, btw... so I would be happy if Netflix picked this up!) lately, and I noticed that they don't tend to end in cliffhangers at the end of "series" (they refer to "seasons" as "series" - a bit confusing for ppl used to U.S. terminology). The U.K shows seem to have each block (series/season) of shows planned out from the beginning with arcs that are resolved in the end. Why do we need cliffhangers? I know if I liked a show one year, I'll watch it the next year! Cliffhangers are a lazy way of planning (or rather, not-planning) a show. A series should be plotted out like a film or a book - not just wavering around and seeing how long they can drag it out!
[Note: I reserve the right to post similar thoughts later in other locations. This is my first post talking about U.S. vs. U.K. programming.]
Well that was pretty cool in the last few moments (the rest of the hour was pretty lame and predictable...especially the pregnancy).
Too bad it might just be the end.
Hi all, if it isthe end it will be annoying !
I can see many possibilities with that ending.
Very nice twist to bring the whole planet, not just a fleet of ships.
I'm off to capture some screenshots and see what updates there are around the web.
One thought I did have about Vicky was that after the hug she gave Sean, it seemed like she knew him very well.
So what about her being Sean and Leila's daughter ?
I've created a NEW POST as there is a an update to Dempsey's Office
Zort, interesting thought about Vicki being Sean and Leila's daughter. It did seem quite odd to me that Vicki and Sean would ever be a couple. And you're right, there are many ways this could go with that ending they gave us.
