I watched the pilot episode for this last night and was quite impressed. Being a fan of J J Abrams "work" anyway I expected to enjoy it anyway and it didn't disappoint.

The basis of the show (as far as I can tell) is some FBI slut is being assisted by a a scientist who's been in a mental asylum for 30 years. The scientist helped create loads of funky crap during the 1970s and now "somebody" (a Microsoft-like company) is using the research to fuck shit up and the bitch and the scientist are investigating...

... Yes, you guessed it, it's X-Files with a new hat on.

Before you get excited, it's worth pointing out that the woman FBI thing in it is a bit ropey. She's MILF but you wouldn't go out of your way. For this reason, the show isn't quite as good as it could be... It lacks fappability

Anybody else seen this besides steakknife03 and myself?

Nope but I just downloaded it and watched the opening scene which has interested me enough to watch the rest later this evening.

Just watched it. Not bad, definitely has potential. Not concerned about the X-files rip off factor, X-Files was amazing, why not copy the format.

Agree about the female lead, she reminds me of Jody Marsh. I would, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Finished watching it. Some funny lines ("I pissed myself... just a squirt"), some recognisable people (Brad Chase from Boston Legal, Pacey from Dawson's Creek, David Sandstrom from ReGenesis, Black Dude from Lost) and good potential for a plot. Even my missus said the FBI bird didn't have that special "something" like Kate from Lost though. Shaggable... but only if she asked nicely.

Overall, I think I'd give it about a 7/10.

I watched it. Yes the FBI chick was a bit weak. I did like that the DHS guy kept calling her Liason instead of her name :>

I like it, I'll watch it, love the crazy "I'm going to pump you full of LSD, shove a rod in the base of your skull and immerse you in water in a steel box and close the door" scientist guy, and cross my fingers that it keeps up at least the pace it set with first episode while denying the fact that it is ANYTHING like the XFiles and I did say that I don't like the XFiles, though Mrs ANderson was immensely fuckable.


Time will tell.

To be honest I found this a bit of a chore to watch.Maybe the shorter episodes might work a bit better.

After watching the first few episodes of this I'm not overly impressed its alright not as good as I thought it was going to be though.

Another show which sounds a bit x filey is Eleventh Hour haven't watch it yet but could be worth a look.
