The Event

Post by Even Adam » Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:35 pm

Anybody see it? A sci-fi series that was on NBC in the US and then Channel 4 here in the UK. I recently downloaded and watched the whole series. The most consistently brilliant TV series I've ever seen and it was bloody cancelled. Americans make me sick. :nono:

I'm dying to know what happens next. There are talks of Syfy reviving it... I hope so. :(

It sounds too exciting for me.

Americans cancelled Twin Peaks.

We don't make that mistake in Blighty. Last Of The Summer Wine ran for 5412 episodes, 5000 of them involving a bath on wheels trundling slowly down a hill.

"Twin Peaks" didn't have plot after the second season.

If they bring back The Event, I don't give a shit about your stupid Eureka. :biggrin:

Think Fawlty towers. Then think Eastenders.
Now disregard both of those things and Google "The Event".

Every time an episode of Jersey Shore airs, I carve another American's name onto the side of a bullet.

Clinton is right. Here, we have it running till the last actor dies!
The last series can be very lonely.

But I need to know what happened to the characters who were all left in such awful predicaments!!
It was a fantastic show.

The Event? It's a bit vague. Why not call it The Thingy?

I guess they were trying not to associate their show with penises, for public image reasons or some shit

I should've known you'd link this to something vaguely related to Peep Show.
