Rant: Alcatraz

I've stopped watching, and therefore reviewing, FOX's sci fi mystery series. Now, when i first heard about this series, i had high hopes. I mean seriously, JJ Abrams. I tend to associate him with awesome stuff. But, the simply put, this show was just too trivial. It was boring, and half of every episode was spent developing the villain of the week (who i really didn't care about all that much) instead of the main characters or the actual plot. The villains weren't interesting, the actual tracking of them down felt slow and tedious, and frankly they didn't do much with the story arch that drew fans in to begin with. This is a Bad Robot Production,  so fans want and expect a straight up serial drama like Lost or Fringe. But nothing along those lines. The funny thing is, this is the second new sci fi show on Fox that had a ton of potential but was completely botched, the first being Terra Nova (don't even get me started) To be fair, the network still has one more new sci fi show, Touch, which had an amazing pilot episode, and, therefore, i have high hopes for. Hopefully they'll do a better job with that. I would say it would help Fox redeem itself in my eyes, but it will never truly do that.  Why? Oh, maybe what they did to Firefly! And Dollhouse! And insert good sci fi show here! Anyway, that's all from this rant. But don't worry, this won't reduce the number of posts, because i am going to start reviewing Awake and Touch, plus, naturally, more rants and lists. Bye for now.
