They are reshowing this right now and all I have to say is "wtf kangaroo?"

i SO agree! i was watching it the whole time like it was a movie, and was pissed when commercials would come on. maybe because it was the first episode and there was a lot of action?

another hour and it couldve easily been a movie.

I say the kangaroo escaped from the zoo. :p

I thought it was okay. Some seriously cheesy and overdramatic acting, but I may watch if they continue to reair on Fridays just to see what happens.

Now Modern Family, the show that came on afterwards......hysterical.

As mentioned previously MANY shows would have been better off as movies or series where the end is planned early on. It's becoming a big problem and it's becoming more and more obvious newer shows.

How long can you keep people longing for each other apart (Glee/Ugly Betty, etc.)? How long can you ride out the basis of the show (Lost/Flash Foward)? How long can you save the world for (Heroes)? How long are you going to keep your main characters in college (Greek)? Etc.

These things are not well thought out because shows are just trying to survive the pilot, then the first season. Shows need to have long-term ideas or they are going to start failing miserably (or already have).

I think this is what happened with most shows that have plot revolving around fixed time frames. SBTB went through middle and high school with much success, and then the college years fell the hell apart. the writers could plan up until Bayside's graduation, but then after, what, 6 years, they had to come up with somewhat new ideas, characters, etc. there's only so long that storyline could go.

this happened with most shows based in HS or college (im thinking Dawson's Creek, Felicity, One Tree Hill, which tried to be clever by fast forwarding a few years, but IMO that failed miserably - though im sure people still watch). You COULD have a rotating door of characters (kinda like most soap operas, which are Ford tough and last for DECADES) but that gets old too (Degrassi:TNG did this pretty well, they were able to do a successful spinoff from the original and integrate new characters/storylines)

this is what's happening to Grey's - this whole "we're merging with another hospital" bit, wherever the plot goes - is this an attempt to introduce new characters/storylines to keep the show going? because i think that would fail miserably. or is this Shonda's way of prepping us for the end? because as much as i love GA, i would be OK with cutting our losses at S6 and enjoying the run it had.

I really wish that most shows WOULD plan on a fixed number of seasons and and have a firm ending in mind before they begin. TV would be so much better - there's no need for a show to keep going on forever just for the sake of going on forever. Tell your story, tell it well, and then move on.

Not to do a major hijack, but I'm so behind on Ugly Better, what characters are "longing" for each other but the writers are keeping them apart?

As for Greek, I remember reading a couple years ago that the actors only signed for like 5-6 seasons. So Greek will most likely end when college ends (for Cappie, Casey and Ashleigh). There is really no way Rusty and Dale can carry that show by themselves.

With FF, the way I see it is that when April 29, 2010 comes around next year, something better be happening that "day" on the show or the "flash forwards" defeat the purpose. But, when people know what might happen in the future, the future might change. Unbeknowstly changing the outcome with simple decisions in their lives. But I'm really into knowing why that 1 person didn't "pass" out and why everyone else did. I hope it doesn't take years for them to say "this was who was behind it". Although it would be interesting it if happened again because then, for me, it wouldn't be some naturally occuring phenonmenom (totally spelled that wrong, sorry).

That would be nice, but I doubt networks would let them do that, especially if the show is a "winner" in the ratings. But then again, shows that aren't winners in the ratings networks just keep continuing them and you think "omg why is this show still on" (ER, CSI to name a few).

For me, what would be nice if if networks would make the decision to can a show in advance, instead of after the show has aired their "season" finale. Then the fans are the ones that are screwed. You are all excited because the finale left you hanging then you find out "oh we have cancelled that show". (If I sound a bit bitter two shows I watch were cancelled like that, Terminator and The Unit).

He Who Sall Not Be Named is on the show!!!

Voldemort? I think that is Ralph Fiennes not Joseph..

Voldy is Ralph, lol.

either way they are both evil...heheheh!!

that is what I thought...I double checked IMDB just in case :p

same here...thanks guys!!

ANY OLD WAYS...what did you all think of the show.

How about John Cho thinking he was going to die and the cop who has the same visiona dn she dies during the show?

Now...my question is...what happened to all those people who were already (normal) asleep at the time when the mass black out occur? Did they have weird visions and wake up right afterwards or did they stay asleep and awke later with the visions in their heads?

and yes...this may be stretching...I wonder if animals were affected....LOL

I kinda saw the cop getting shot coming..but still very creepy!

I would think that if you were asleep at the time of the blackout (it was at 11am..so probably alot of college students were snoozing lol), you still had a vision...but maybe they will explain that soon.

I loooove this show!!
