At long last, after a cool pilot and twenty episodes of crap, The Event finally comes to a close, and the answer to “what is the Event?” is (maybe) revealed. Though The Event didn’t redeem itself at the last minute in the same way as FlashForward, it did have a pretty baller ending and could [...]

Following young Bran’s fall from the tower after catching Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister performing some incestuous bunga bunga, a definite air of tension has befallen the land of Westeros. “The Kingsroad” was a bit like a road movie, with Lord Stark- what? What’s that? This isn’t a Game of Thrones recap? Oh, [...]

So The Event came back last night after another two week hiatus. I wasn’t expecting much considering how big of a mess this show has become, but despite more problems piling up on top of each other, there were a few things to like and one big twist. There still isn’t much logic on The [...]

At this point, I’ve pretty much become the laughing stock of my film school friends and girlfriend for continuing to watch The Event. I know it’s bad, I know I’m wasting time watching it but for whatever reason I just can’t stop. It’s kind of like the second season of Heroes, which was like watching [...]

So yeah, I didn’t write a recap last week. Wanna fight about it? Who really cares though, right? Is anyone actually watching this show other than me and Alison’s step-grandparents? Anyways, while some pretty big events (I won’t stop making puns until they change the title) went down, there was the definite sense that the [...]

You know, despite its innumerable flaws, I kinda like The Event. It may be a sclockfest, but it’s really entertaining and to be honest, I look forward to watching it every week now. I’m still confident it won’t survive past its first season, but I don’t really care. Whether it gets cancelled or not is [...]

Last night, I finally pinpointed all of The Event’s various flaws, most glaring of which is how it has handled its most intriguing group of characters, who I and Entertainment Weekly have been calling the Whatchamacallums, because up until now we really had no clear idea of who or what they were. After last night’s [...]

I had high hopes for The Event. I really did. Then again, I had high hopes for FlashForward, and look how that went. In a lot of ways, NBC’s attempt at creating the next LOST is slipping just like FlashForward did after its equally exciting premiere. But now, nine episodes in and one away from [...]
