I actually think it’s a little intriguing.

Where’s Elizabeth Mitchell and Elizabeth Lail?

I wasn’t sure whether to watch this or not (all dependant on whether or not it airs British TV) but seeing as it’s got that irritating one out of Ugly Betty in it, I’m leaning towards not watching. I might watch if that particular character gets killed off quickly though.

All magic comes with a price!

Elizabeth Mitchell has me giving it at least a chance.  We’ll see.

I thought the show was going to be a murder mystery, but it seems to be just supernatural. So there is some sort of monsters or demons attacking them. That is much less interesting because there is rarely good motivation behind a monster. It is usually they just can’t help it. It is there nature. Which is boring.

They could still do it well.  There were monsters in Lost and the intrigue and suspense were just fine.  And it created a deeper mythology.  I reserve judgement until I see it.

The “monster” in LOST was originally a person. It was also being controlled by people. It was never just unthinking evil. Even, before we knew that, it was the unknown that was suspenseful. The Others were always the most frightening thing going on. I mean think of Ethan. There was never flickers of ghosts or demons in LOST, well besides that one time. Also, it was a small part of the show. They also sort of implied at first that it was mechanical with the clicking mechanical noise it made. I just have a hard time imagining them being able to sustain just supernatural evil. I can only see so much ghosts or demons flip onto the screen before i think it is dumb and am out.

Just watched a screener of the first episode. Obviously I can’t say much but I really enjoyed it. It was a lot more creepy than I was personally expecting and it didn’t feel like an ABC Family show budget wise. What surprised me the most (but probably shouldn’t have) was that just like OuaT, OuaTiW and LOST it uses flashbacks and to help tell the story. I guess that part just surprised me because I hadn’t read anything about this show using them.

I’m hooked. Now I’ve gotta wait 5 & 1/2 weeks until I see the next episode. Ahhh!
