I'm watching it. Do I love it? No. I don't even know if I like it. I am just trying to figure out where they are and why they are there.
I thought it was interesting when they tried to escape in the van and the bright light somehow turned them back around so they ended up back where they came from. UFO?

I just hate the typical Hollywood agenda. They made the black guy a Muslim to make sure that we know that not all Muslims are terrorists. I just find that insulting.

As if we didn't know that. It's just a little insulting, that's all.

It kind of reminds me of that show on USA - the 4400. No one knew what was going on.

So far: I think it's an experiment.

Obviously the woman w/ the robe is a mental patient.

I think the guy who found the key in the bible is a cop or FBI or something. He never answered when the guy w/ the wife asked if he is a cop.

I think the used car salesman is there to tick everyone else off.

Did anyone else notice all the pictures in the room where the mom was are pixelated?

The guy w/ the wife - first he was worried b/c she might hurt herself, then he told the used car salesman that he had nothing to live for. I wonder if she's already dead?
I was thinking he might be something along the lines of a mercenary as he knew all the hand signals with the Marine.

Who is "they"? Do "they" have names? You must not be watching, or you'd know the black guy isn't the leader, the white single guy is. And who cares if the black guy is Muslim or not? They showed him saying his prayers and then cut away to the married guy reading the bible. big deal.

Watched the 1st 2 episodes and I'm liking what I'm seeing. I was expecting NBC to air yet another pointless reality show. It's refreshing to see NBC and ABC give us scripted shows for our summer viewing. I guess they're getting the message that some viewers see reality as what we deal with in our respectives lives and not a scripted edited TV show. To that I commend the network execs for having a clue.

As for the show, it is weird. It kind of reminds me of The Prisoner in some aspect. I remember watching a few episodes back in the day but not religiously following it. It looks like some form of experiment to me. Conducted by who and to what end? That remains to be seen. That said I will be watching DVRing it every monday

wait - what? Are you sure you're watching the same show the rest of us are? I didn't see ANY of that.

Although I love Bosco from "Third Watch"....it's another "Harper's Island".

It's going to be lame...especially with the whiny "I need to get back to my daughter" character.

Isn't that one guy the dude from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?

I enjoyed this weeks eppie again. Was it my imaginagination or did the implants look like insects to anyone else? OMG, I could never have gone through with taking them out! In the "real" world they ought to have gotten real good infections from that! Did I miss something? Homosexual innuendos?
