oh, on a radical subjest change - has anyone been watching the new tv show 'alcatraz'?

watched first 2 episodes last night - looks like it could be really quite cool

Eurovision is officially worse than the Emirates Cup. In my opinion.
--------------------------------

Never seen Alcatraz though (or heard of it). Presumably it's about the prison?
-------------------------------------
kind of. the basic premise is that it didn't close as such back in 63, all the inamtes and guards vanished - mary celeste style, and it was covered up. Now they are re-appearing, looking exactly the same, and going around killing people

sounds odd - is odd, and yet is quite good. made by JJ Abrams, and starring hurly from lost, some cute girly and a older dude i recognise but can't place.

is it bruce forsyth?

er no.

i guess i could just go an look it up....

you will look very silly now if it is

i guess i could just go an look it up....

It's Sam Neill

oh

Plot summary

On March 21, 1963, over three hundred inmates and more than forty guards disappeared from the Alcatraz island prison without a trace. To cover up the disappearance, the government invented a cover story about the prison being closed, due to unsafe conditions, and officially reported that the inmates had been transferred. However, federal agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill), a young San Francisco police officer tasked with transferring inmates to the island in 1963, is one of the first to discover that the inmates are actually missing and not transferred. In present-day San Francisco, the "63s" (as the missing inmates and guards are called) begin returning, one by one. Strangely, they haven't aged at all, and they have no clues about their missing time or their whereabouts during their missing years. Even more strangely, the government has been expecting their return, and Hauser now runs a secret government unit dedicated to finding the returning prisoners; this unit was set up long ago in anticipation of the prisoners' returns. To help track the returning prisoners down and capture them, Hauser enlists police detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia), a published expert on the history of Alcatraz and its inmates. The 63s appear to be returning without any memory of where they have been but with compulsions to find certain objects and to continue their murderous habits.

It doesn't sound like something I would get in to. I prefer reality to fiction (as in documentary type programmes, as opposed to Big Brother).
-----------------------------------------
I love non-fiction stuff too, but i do like things with a supernatural twist to them too - supernatural, trueblood, fringe, grimm etc etc...

Except Ghost Town. But that's because Mr Gervais is a genius
---------------------------------
NURSE! YO, NURSE! HE'S OVER HERE! BRING THE STRAIGHT JACKET!

it sounds like something i will wait till the dd boxset is out then watch them all in 3 days

that's the sort of thing i do - i have the first 7 episodes so far, but only got a chance to watch 2 last night - i'd imagine the rest will be done over the weekend

I just drift off if it's 1 a week

i barely watch anything on scheduled tv nowadays - its all box sets, streams or downloads.
