“anyone else watch the premiere of this show? it seems pretty good, so far. here's to hoping it stays around!”

“insufficient data ---”

“well? it's hard to explain. it's a new show on ABC. it started off with these 3 yale students who are embarking on a cross country trip, their first stop was to celebrate Kerouac's streaking at the Drexler, by going through on their rollerblades. one of their friends disappears, and the 2 continue to their rendezvous point, where they get a call from the missing friend, where he apologizes, then.. boom goes the museum. the 2 friends are now being chased by the FBI, and there's a big net of deceit being woven, on who is actually behind the bombing..”

“Thanks for the clarification.

'boom' you say?  This isn't the best atmosphere for things to go 'boom' in, even five years out.  Perhaps they're safer with it being a museum, [argh]”

“it's similar in line to 24, i think, with the character development and plot twists similar to heroes, which both feature big booms. it apparently only injured 1 person, and it's suspected to be the 3rd yalemate, but i don't think it was him”

“For some reason I was thinkihg this was another 'reality' show, LOL  Three Actual Yale students... !”

“I've seen the pilot -- it actually seems kind of like FOX's 24 meets CBS's Jericho, where you're dropped into this seemingly everyday scene, knowing very little about any given character when suddenly the unthinkable happens, thus changing the protagonist's (main, or "hero" character(s)) life forever, and the storyline weaves from there.

Not too bad, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that this kind of thing has already been done (read: 24, Jericho, etc.) and will have a limited audience because of it.”
