Alcatraz

[dare2be]

Does the show indicate what has caused all these inmates to move forward in time at all, or is that still part of the mystery trying to be solved?

Of course we don't know. It's a J. J. Abrams production. We'll probably never know everything.

 

[dare2be]

Yeah, I have more faith in J. J. Abrams in building the mystery behind the phenomenon into the plotline, as opposed to a movie like Groundhog Day, where the scientific reason for the repeating day was never pursued.

I'm also surprised nobody has asked..."Where the heck were you and what happened?"

Are you talking about us, or the actors in the show? I thought I heard it in the opening episode. The cop asked the first convict where he'd been, who had given him orders.

Where was I? March 21, 1963...home in my bed awaiting my 10th Birthday on the 24th of March.

You're right...but I would have placed them under the lights until they talked. Also (need to suspect disbelief) I find it hard to believe that 300+ men could go missing without an outcry from the families. Heck, I'm sure the mob would ask questions when Vinny, Vito and Dom went missing from Alcatraz.

I was awaiting my birth in May. You could say I had a womb with a view.

I was only 8 months old on that date.

I like this show. Trying to figure out the involvement of all of these people in the present that are unchanged from 1963, doc, from Saving Grace, is the latest addition.

Yeah, but I have the feeling Sam Neil's character already knows, and that's why we aren't hearing it yet. His partner, who is currently in the hospital, was there during that time (episode 2?). I'm sure there was some fill in from her about what was going on.

I was just about to turn 10 months old. We were living in San Francisco

I was serving overseas in the Navy with my dad. Then 4 years later I was born.

Too funny.

I had barely finished the germinal period. Otherwise I was barely an embryo.

Monday's ratings were solid...9.3 million, down just under 10% from premier...which is unusually good. Fox should be pretty happy at this point.

Yep, I'm dying to find out her role in their disappearance...

Same with the Dr. He was "then", now he's "now". And both working for Hauser, so he has to know a lot more than he's letting on.

 

[riffjim4069]

New episode tonight. With all the reruns, the ratings should continue strong. Anyway, I'm glad we won't have another Jerry Sandusky type featured this week...just your regular thieves, thugs and murderers.
