Just wondering if anyone else watched this...especially if you are an X-Files, Alias and/or Lost fan...

I watched it, and am undecided. I liked the way it was structured, and it looks to provide some interesting possibilities for future episodes (it's been said there's an overarching mythology and even from one episode I can kind of see that). I felt though they were trying to work in too much action and not enough mystery. It kind of had the same "dumbed-down" at times that the TF movie had at times (no surprise, since the writers are the same).

One thing I loved, though, was the giant CGI block-letters used for the datelines that were hovering in midair that moved with the camera angle as well as casting shadows and stuff. That was really creative.

I wanted to watch it, but it was two hours long and on at the same time as Eureka.

It did seem to drag, but I think moving to the hour format will help. I think the casting is pretty good, from that one episode at least. I just worry that the overriding story arc will be awesome in the first season or two, with a conclusion at in season 2, and the next arc won't be as compelling. That happened in Alias, and hopefully it won't happen here.

Damn, I missed it.

wasn't really impressed...no real tension after the airplane in the beginning. Now THAT part freaked the hell out of me...but the rest...meh...we shall see how it goes.
