I have heard people saying that The Event will be the fusion of Lost and 24. Well it won't be, because that show was already made, it was called Flash Forward, and it had all the action of 24, and the plot of Lost, brilliantly mixed together.
The Event is good, it may even become a hit, but in my heart, it will never replace the show I know and loved, and then lost.
The one thing I really don't like about The Event is how the protagonist is always yelling "where is my girlfriend!?" That just sounds bad. Especially to people my age when the terms "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" are used very casually. What I'm trying to say is that when people see the ad, they don't care as much as they would if he was yelling "I want my family back!" in a glorious Harrison Ford style. You care more when you actually watch the show and you find out he was going to propose to her.
My final grievance: the show is obviously trying too hard to be 24 and Lost, they have an honest, black president, rouge electro-magnetic busts, and lots of stubble.
Sorry, The Event, but you don't come close to any of the shows you wanted to mime. Who knows? I might be eating my words in a few months, and if I do, I'll be sure to pretend I had predicted it the whole time, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go mourn for my dead shame.
