 Posted: Tue, 17th Jan 2012 10:12 Post subject: Alcatraz TV Series (2012) |
|
 |
(Dunno if there's a topic about or not, since Search is screwed well...)
Main Plot
| Quote: | | When Detective Rebecca Madsen is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: Jack Sylvane, a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. With her investigation impeded by government agent Emerson Hauser, Madsen teams up with Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Dr. Diego Soto. They both soon discover that Sylvane is not only alive, but he’s loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake, and does not appear to age. With the inclusion of Agent Hauser, they realize that Sylvane is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. For while he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won’t be the last prisoner to reappear from Alcatraz. |
Just seen the first episode, kinda reminds me of Lost on it's last seasons, time travel and all those things that made me abandon the show, in this one so far it's quite ok for Pilot episode, let's hope they won't fuck it up.
On short, prisoners disappear from Alcatraz in the day when was closed, being "transferred" only that didn't happen and they were all gone along with guards. 50 years later one by one begin to show up and kill, they haven't aged at all.
Releases so far

*sigh*
Love it or hate it... JJ Abrams had virtually NOTHING to do with Alias, LOST, or Fringe. And I'm guessing he'll work on Alcatraz for about a month, then leave to go incubate a new project.

Do some research as this is absolutely not true:

Watched the pilot, didn't look that bad but it seems that they will do one guy an episode, which is kinda meh, I'd hoped for a continous investigation.

After seeing the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjc0K_0O2ig), i would personally see this more as a movie then series...

If you look closely he is mostly credited as "creator" and "executive producer", both of which mean he didn't do shit.
The list of episodes he actually wrote, directed or had any creative involvement in is much, much smaller.
He has even less to do with Alcatraz than he did with Fringe, for which he only co-wrote the pilot.

Yeah I'm not even knocking the guy or anything. "Fringe" is currently my favorite show on TV, but the cast and crew of Fringe/LOST/Alias have even mentioned in interviews that JJ Abrams had pretty much jack squat to do with the shows.

watched the two first episodes and it does look awful
a mangled scifi plot that boils down to baddies from the 60's spawning in alcatraz
here's an idea;
close the prison for tourists and lock the doors.
there, i just solved everything.

Well hellooo second grade Lost wannabe with cliche writing. I expect 0.00001% answers per season to the questions raised in the series.

Watched first episode. Seems like crap writing. Will probably watch a couple of more because it would normally be the type of shown I would enjoy, but so far not very promising.

If Kevin Reilly cancels "Fringe" for this POS series Alcatraz, I'm going David Robert Jones on somebody.

I was undecided about watching this, your post just gave me the certitude I needed not to watch this, thanks!

isn't it how lost started? people were all hmm nice idea but flawed writing and shoddy acting and then later on it became a serious hit?
alcatraz is a nice concept. but that's it. a concept. it's poorly executed and it might go somewhere where it'll get interesting. but right now, as i see it... it's predictable and weak.

Lost might've lost its way over the years since the writing was all over the place, but it had a great cast and top class direction. This one has the B-movie feel.
