    Alcatraz

    I watched it last night.

    It was like lost, x files and some other sh!te all rolled into one. Sam Neil was ok, but the storyline is absolutely dire

    Hurley's in it as well

          I really get the impression that someone sat down and said 'right. How can we string an audience along for an indefinate length of time. I know, lets have one mystery revealing a second mystery which reveals a third etc, without any of them ever being resolved'

          the idea of a beginning a middle and an end has been replaced with a beginning a middle and a beginning and a middle and a b.......

            I listened to an ex-inmate being interviewed the other day. He said the Birdman was a complete and utter bastard who had to be kept away from other people most of the time.

              It's supposed to keep you interested and engaged, but for a large number of people it just puts them off straight away.

              I'm enjoying Homeland just now, normal season long plot, slowly but surely building towards the end.

              The Chicago Code was good too, but got canned after 1 season.

                  In the final scene Sandy got a bj in his wheelchair from Miss Diane while Bennie watched and knocked one out.

                    I never understood why the script-writers put Sandy in a wheelchair almost from the start. Now I know.

                    But it's still not much of a denouement after twenty years of build up.
