Anyone planning to check this out? The pilot is on January 25th and the actual series starts on March 19.

I'll watch the pilot because of my Kiefer Sutherland love, but it seems kinda hokey. Kinda like Heroes felt to me (no co-incidence its by the same people...)

No matter what you think, I DO love you.

Watched the pilot last night online and I just LOVED it. There was nothing about it I didn't like. It was hard to see Kiefer and not think "Jack Bauer" but eventually got over that and was able to enjoy the show on its own. I love shows that have lots of things happening and by the end (of the episode, or the season) have everything connect. Hate that I have to wait til March 19th (although it should have been March 18th, yes I'm a nerd) for it to begin.

I have the pilot, I just don't want to watch it. You may have convinced me though!

I watched the Pilot and thought it was somewhat interesting, but they shouldn't have aired the Pilot a month and a half before airing the second episode (coming back March 19th). Real loss of momentum unless they plan to re-air the Pilot and do a marketing blitz leading up again.

I agree, I was already to watch it for the following week just to find out it wasn't going to air again til March. Buzz kill for sure.

Well I finally watched it. I thought it was really hokey how everything connected yet I still loved it at the same time. I'm not sure how long the concept will stay fresh for though - I see it getting old very quickly. I'll definitely watch the series, that is until I get bored of it!

Unless they mix it up every few episodes I can see how the concept would get old, it's just a matter of putting in enough twists to keep a secondary story going outside the "connection" one. Having Keifer in this though helps esp if you followed him on 24...same concept done over and over, and yet, I still wanted to watch it. It'll be nice if they add a bit more action with him as he tries to do whatever he has to to figure out the clues.
