I went ahead and watched the first two eps online. It is no X files. That much is certain.

It really looks like it wants to be Lost with the questions it keeps creating. I really don't want to see this turn into a show that has to go ep to ep for the storyline. I was expecting it to be more like each ep was stand alone.

I don't get everyone's obsession with the X-Files. Though it was a show before my time...

Just watched the first two episodes, had them DVR'd and I am a fan ... love both episodes so far

Have you seen any episodes of it?

Here and there. And I saw the first movie.

Nothing to special.

I didn't see any of the commercials, some friend told me that it was on, so I gave it a shot. I prefer my scifi type shows to have an ongoing story, the cool thing is that you don't have to go to the well with it every episode. But eh, that could just be me...

Does this not have an ongoing story?

Don't get me wrong, I like the ongoing stories. Just didn't expect that with this show. And with Abrams being involved, I don't know that i need 2 shows frustrating the crap out of me with new questions posed every week.

Definitely DON'T go by the movie. Rent seasons 1-3 if you have a chance and see what you think. If you want to take the time that is. That is a lot of eps to try and fit in.

Yes it does.

Ha! I can see your point there.

I'm worried now how lame the story is going to feel if, just guessing, the son is really a clone of his Dad and he starts to worry that he is going to go nuts as well.

Damn, that sounds almost inevitable.

That blonde chick is ugly, and her acting ability is somewhere close to Keanu Reeves.

Yep.

Abrams isn't known for taking the obvious route, fortunately. Him being a clone would I think ruin the show for me. It's probably something else, though, something crazy.

I'm going to guess that rather than him be a clone of his dad, he is his dad, as a younger self, due to time travel.

Time travel seems like fringe science.
