There is talk of a tv movie

Re: Did anyone watch ‘The Event’ (sadly now cancelled)
 

It's obvious not a lot of people watched it, or it would never have been cancelled ;)

Re: Did anyone watch ‘The Event’ (sadly now cancelled)
 

A lot of people watched it, just not enough.

Its problem was exactly the same as Flash Forward - they dragged it out too long, and by the time it actually got really good, most people had given up.

Shame, I enjoyed both it and FF.

Yeah I heard about that. Let's hope they do something.

They milk the shows too much. With 'The Event' I felt they threw in a lot of mysteries and just didn't give enough answers until too late. Too many viewers had already jumped ship.

Slowly, slowly, might catchy Monkey.

But............

Slowly, slowly, losey too many viewers.

:)

The prime example for me being "Lost" IIRC I gave up following E03S01 :erm:

The interminal flashbacks.......OMG...like Chinese water torture. :(

Re: The Event
 

Lost should have been a 3 part mini series instead

Re: The Event
 

I watched the first 3 eps. Thought it actually had potential, then I realised that it was going so slowly that I lost interest. It made the same mistake they made with Lost. It asked a lot of questions, but answered very few.

Re: The Event
 

Yup: Too many questions, not enough answers.

It started off badly, by using a non-linear narrative even more annoyingly than Lost, and moved too slowly while posing question after question.

After it was re-jigged during its excessively long hiatus, the pace was ramped right up, and it became more interesting... But by then it had haemorrhaged even more viewers, plus the increase in pace came at the expense of previous story elements being forgotten, and some of the characters behaving differently, plus again added more questions and failed to answer previous ones.

One of the things which really bugged me was that they never answered how/why Sean knew about the plane at the very start. Ditto for Agent Lee. That was but one of many things.


I very much doubt that anything will come of the "TV movie". This sort of thing always does the rounds. There's been nothing remotely concrete about it, and I doubt that Syfy would really be interested (& NBC has already said it wouldn't show one if it happened).

Re: The Event
 

SyFy won't be interested unless they can work a sharktopus or a RockSalmonPiranha into the mix somehow. :D

Re: The Event
 

Yup. The humans & the aliens have to put aside their differences to battle a bigger foe: a giant sharktopusosaur! Then Debbie Gibson & Tiffany turn up to help.

Don't forget the wrestling
