JJ Abrams Alcatraz

[Raph's Girl]

"JJ Abrams.. Lost is now over! What are you gonna do next?!" "Alcatraz!"

He must love islands...the series is described as. "A show about mysteries, secrets and the most infamous prison of all time." FOX is of course interested in it.

He needs to get around to making the sequel to Cloverfield!

Been there several times and if I want to I can look at it every day. I hardly find anything mysterious about it.

And thus why you will never be JJ Abrams.

You're right, I refuse to write a series for 7 seasons that is padded out with nonsense and then end it abruptly with a cop out because I couldn't think of anything better to do.

If you're referring to Lost (which btw was six seasons), you should know that he was only sparsely involved after the pilot.

I'm looking forward to this show Mysteries and secrets sounds good, and in a confined space like an island prison? All the better!

Indeed, that's what I'm hoping for too. I heard rumors of a video game but unfortunately that never happend.

Ah got ya. Well I know he wasn't involved with the whole series. He was off making something good at one point, "Star Trek". He also made something ****, "Cloverfeild". Anyways him not being involved the whole time is my point exactly. He has potential now as a big Hollywood director. He isn't going to waste much time with a TV series. He'll get it going and then the writers they hire on won't be able to keep up the quality of what he started and it will fall into sucking just like "Lost" did.

It's a gimmick, like "24". The worst part is it's the same gimmick they just did. The fact people go for it only gives them even more reason to keep doing it.

I dunno... Fringe is ****ing great. If Alcatraz has the Fringe-quality, I'll love it

Never watched it. I saw a trailer and it looked the "The X-Files" so I skipped it. I honestly avoid 90% of what TV has to offer. Unless the series is shot and treated like a movie I have no interest in it for the most part. I currently watch 3 shows and that's enough for me until those end I don't need anymore. I'm a linear person so I can't start watching a series and then watch another one in between. I forget stuff easily and the shows I watch require you to have seen and remember every episode. I've been re-watching Dexter and being reminded of all kinds of stuff I forgot.

Lucky for me the shows I like all start their cycles one after another. "Rescue Me" just ended and now "Dexter" is starting. Early next year will be "Breaking Bad" and then "Rescue Me" again, though I don't hold out much hope for "Rescue Me". The series has taken a huge dip in quality lately.
