Well, right off the bat they lost me with the whole prison breakout thing - who do they think will believe that tripe? |

I didn't watch all of it... did it ever veer off into anything "sci-fi-ish"? |

I thought that was a tad over the top as well. But then again, that is par for the course with the majority of shows on TV today.

I liked it. Mainly because it's seems to be a "dark" show. Kinda like 24 was at times. Lots of death and twists. |

Good to see Natalie Zea get work with her Winona character on Justified out of the picture.
As for the show, I'll give it a chance. Major suspension of disbelief required (e.g., a goddamn English professor knows jack about IP addresses), but that's a burden that many otherwise excellent shows place upon us.
Kevin Bacon is a plus.

It was a bit more than a tad. I've worked in a few jails/prisons, and even with tools, keys, and access badges I couldn't pull off that kind of crap. Not to mention how incompetent the FBI and local police were (although they did start out pretty good) - I'm no law enforcement fanboy, but damn...
Of course, it looks like all that was to set up something like a cross between Alcatraz, Criminal Minds, and a couple of story arcs from Bones, but I didn't stick around to see what other series they tried to mix in there. |

You can probably do that now and just skip the last couple seasons. The only thing really good that Bones has done lately is "spin-off" The Finder ...and we know what happened to that. |

I guess what I intended to say with my “Its not Fringe” comment was that since its on Fox and Fringe has ended its run on Fox, its just no kind of replacement for Fringe.
I guess I have Fringe on the mind,…..
I'll give it a shot though,...... |

Did he get anything right? or way wrong? They didn't go into any of those details (unlike the whopper from the one-season-and-done The Event, where the hacker said that he "spoofed a PI"  ).
I was half-jokingly referring to the bad guy's ability to work major Internet magic from a law library, including, and I forget the exact phrase that a cop used, something like "mutating IP addresses."

So I gathered, except Bones isn't "near" the end of S8 yet (unless this is going to be a "short" season?). You're saying that you've already "marathon'd" it (all of 1-7, first part of 8)? 1-6 I could see being fun; after that, I dunno... it's gotten kinda "tired" (or maybe it's just me?).
I was "tired" of The Following before the end of the first half of the pilot. (What are they thinking here? "Everyone else is getting dark & twisted with their shows... Hey! let's do that, too!!!" [everybody nods with silly/stupid grins on their faces].) |
