Eh guess we'll see. I was tired of the camerawork by the time the trailer was over.

[Munson]

I'm looking forward to this. The first season will only be eight episodes, but will tell the complete story. If the show is successful, other seasons would be treated as sequels instead of a continuation of the story.

I like this quote:
"Fellow EP Michael Green started off the panel by telling the audience that ABC told him, "Don't water it down. Really make it scary."

I'll probably be in the minority, but I think this show is terrible. I started rolling my eyes halfway through the first episode, and I stopped recording halfway through the second.

Lame!

I thought it was going to be a little scarier than it was. Still, it was interesting enough that I'll keep watching.

I don't like the son, or maybe just the actor playing him.

I was pretty disappointed. I watched the first one but not the second one. I feel like I've learned all I need to know -- an invisible boogeyman monkey chases people around on a boat. Magical magical, hocus pocus. The end.

As Paul noted, the kid is a dbag. However, I can't stand his mother either.

I like the guy who plays the producer though. He played Season 3 villain Stephen Saunders on 24 and Henry Dresden on the short-lived SyFy (ugh!) series The Dresden Files.

Yeah I agree Paul...but the show was scary to me!!!

You might already know this, but the mother is also a 24 vet. She was Jack Bauer's wife in the first season.

From what I understand, each episode will have a different "villain." That invisible bogeyman was only in the first episode and probably won't be heard from again.

Why do you guys need to bring up 24 in every conversation?

[Dipper9]

Well, I finally made it through the first hour, and I've decided I've seen enough.

So, Alcatraz? Done.

River? Done.

I am left with Touch, CSI, and Survivor. All the rest of my TV viewing is sports related, or DIY.
