I liked it but I'm also a sucker for those kinds of shows. I remember a couple other people mentioned they thought it was decent a few pages back. Similar to many other shows recently that started promising but ended up quickly devolving into unwatchable. We'll see though!

I enjoyed it as well. I'm interested to see how it goes down.
I also sort of liked Last Resort. Maybe that's just me though.

I could never watch a show called Last Resort because it would make me think of that terrible Papa Roach song. Thanks for getting that stuck in my head btw.

It debuted to big ratings (for NBC) — Over 11 million.
But having seen the pilot episode, I don't think it's gonna last beyond one season. It just strikes me as having all the same problems that FlashForward, The Event, etc. had.

I'm definitely looking forward to "Last Resort" though. That show could have legs.

I wish that Jurassic park show with the badass from Avatar didn't get cancelled.

As a Navy man and someone who trained on nuclear powered subs, I am VERY intrigued by Last Resort. A rogue ballistic missle submarine scares me more than any threat from any country.

Me too man, me too. Apparently they tried to sell it to another network but nobody bought it. It was too expensive to make :-(

I liked Revolution, I didn't love it. And this is not the kind of show that will generally last in primetime. I will keep watching though because I think it could get better, but I would be surprised if it didn't bleed viewers from week 1 to 2.
It does have a good (ratings wise) lead in though, so maybe the bleeding will be minimal. The biggest issue was that it didn't go up against full competition, but it will next week.

Castle and Hawaii 5-0 vs Revolution for Monday 10 pm slot. Not good news.

I enjoyed Terra Nova but it isn't a show that I really miss all that much. It was entertaining and the characters were solid but at the end of the day it was just okay for me.

Yeah. Revolution went up against a Hawaii 5-0 rerun last night. H5-0 and Castle aren't ratings juggernauts, but they'll definitely eat into viewers. And a lot of those people who watched the pilot were tuning in to see what the show was about. I'm not sure what number NBC wants to hit as far as retention goes, but I'm not sure they can do it against a full slate of new shows.
We'll see though! I love this time of year.

While that makes sense, I'm still disappoint. Not only did it have the badass old dude, time travel and dinosaurs, it actually wasn't bad and stopped being too lost-y with the questions answered by more questions as it went on. Really thought a second season had some awesome potential.

It's more the potential I miss than the actual show. The first season wasn't special, but it was fun, grew stronger as it went along and was setting up what could've been an epic second season.

I watched that entire series again and just finished re-watching the 4th season of Parks and Rec. So excited for Thursday!

I remember reading a rumor that Netflix was possibly interested in renewing it and airing a second season, but I think it was too expensive. Or that rumor was bogus from the start.

People have kept telling me to watch Castle but I couldn't find it via.. other means (at least not reliably) and Hulu Plus didn't have it and Netflix doesn't have it.. damn you ABC.

I miss it too.
And I'm excited about Last Resort for three reasons: 1) The premise is hella interesting, 2) Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield, also created this show, and 3) I'm a big fan of Andre Braugher. I'm interested to see how they will pull it off.

I will definitely watch Last Resort, I'm just not sure I think it will last.

Yes. It looks like The Rock on a sub.
And I dont see how it is a multi-season show.
I like Shawn Ryan, but this....IDK about.
