    good news is, the newest trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN3aHP3lMl0

    bad news is, the premiere's been pushed. It was supposed to go next week, right after the GoT finale, now it's not coming on until 6/29.

    this is technically NSFW, there's a tease of nudity and some language. Sunday June 29th at 10pm!! (right after the Thrones finale)

    Umm, do you think you just might have been confused on when GoT was ending?

    That said, the show looks interesting. Looking forward to it.

    oh man WTF okay, ooops on me. Well clearly 6/29 was the date for awhile, but I mean I would've bet real money I'd read somewhere it was showing after the Thrones finale (way back earlier in the season, before I had any real sense of when that would then air)

    First episode was very intriguing. This could be really good. Justin Theroux is a pretty good actor.

    I'll also just go ahead and say that the daughter is hot.

    I wasn't really impressed with the pilot. I'll keep watching though to see if it grows on me. But I found it to be really pretentious and not all that engrossing. Disappointed thus far, because I loved the trailers.

    i dont think the plot is brilliant...there have been at least 2 shows I can think of in the last few years that deal with people disappearing and then returning...this is just the time in between

    I was honestly intrigued about the show until hbo aired a two minute little thing of interviewing a bunch of the actors about the show. made it seem kinda aimless and corny

    I will probably end up watching the premiere tonight, but I don't know if I like committing to a show where there's a huge mystery that you know won't be solved (though I guess I did love lost)

    Surprised to see I'm in the minority of those who really liked the pilot.

    i think they were showing what kids are left to do in the universe the show created.

    if you think parenting is bad now, I cant imagine what its like then. Seems like a lot of adults in the town are just kind of lost still. The kids aren't getting enough parental love and support and supervision, so they play this extreme game as a way to just feel something

    I enjoyed it alright. Definitely had a kind of pretentious vibe to it during a few scenes, but it's got my interest going forward so far.

    Thought the scene with Garvey and his wife was pretty powerful/emotional. Interested learning more about those "others" :

    I actually thought it was completely stupid to spin an iphone like that on a hard surface. The back of that phone must be so fucked.

    I agree that it was certainly not on the level as something like Lost for a pilot, but it feels like it was more or less right around what I was hoping for. From all the reviews I've seen, critics were sent the first 3 episodes, and most said that the second two episodes are better than the pilot, especially the third (that seems to deal almost exclusively with Christopher Eccleston's character).


    I mean just from my love of Damon Lindelof alone (he gets way more backlash than he deserves) makes it that, barring just a horrific nosedive along the way, I'm definitely in for the whole 10 episodes. Though I do wonder how long this could go with it being based on just one book. As a series it's not as obvious an adaptation as something like Thrones given its multiple books.

    This is a minor thing but I'm just curious, did anyone recognize that woman in the bar immediately as being the mother from the opening scene? I didn't realize it until she gave her answer on where she was "when it happened". Pretty cool to see Emily Meade again, she played Peter & Olivia's daughter in that one sort of alternate future episode of Fringe (and plenty easy on the eyes). For the sake of my teenage niece, please tell me nowhere in America today has that most fucked up version of "spin the bottle" I've ever seen actually been played

    I think you'll probably need to give this series a few weeks to get into everything. Hoping once that happens, the series picks up so to speak. One thing I'll say is that it better have a real, definitive ending. If they go LOST or Saprano's on this, it'll be ruined.
