I thought it was really great. It works even beyond the "hook". All of the characters have potential and I like how the ensemble works together. The final scene sets up some chilling possibilities and it'll be interesting to see how they use the storytelling structure to develop that.

I found it extremely blah. I really don't care about alot of the previous story lines they have mentioned that they will obviously be jumped back to. For example the police officer negociated the old woman out, I don't care. The FBI screwed up and wants to cop to shut up about it, I don't care.

The only thing even remotely interesting is what happened that broke Party of Five and pregnant girl apart?

And the ending made me slightly interested but at the same time I felt like the scene could just be the girl going to prision to face her attacker (right now I'm assuming she was raped). She very well may be in on it and that is the big twist of the show. Like her job was to get her dad out of there before the guys showed up.

I haven't watched it yet but have it on the DVR. Everything I've heard about it has been positive, so I'm definitely willing to give it a chance.

I enjoyed the show a lot. Looking forward to next week.
Mr. Foote will have something more to do with this than being a hero.

Will they re-air it? I missed it last night.

Cheesehead Craig · 10-05-2006, 10:25 AM

I thought it was good. The whole show is premised on questions of what happened, but I thought they did a good job answering some questions right away instead of doing what Lost did in not answering anything for a while. I would rather have a 1-2 season show like this where they keep you on your toes as to what all happened, but keep it moving with some direction than the 3+ season thing Lost has turned into.

Don't get me wrong, I like Lost, but come on, there are huge questions that need to be addressed and storylines that have been totally dropped. I hope The Nine doesn't do that.

Desnudo · 10-05-2006, 11:15 AM

It was good. High quality for a tv show. I started out thinking, great another Memento knock-off, but it sucked me in.

jbmagic · 10-05-2006, 12:31 PM

You like this show better than Six Degrees?

DaddyTorgo · 10-05-2006, 01:47 PM

it got annihilated in the reviews in the papers here in boston, so i skipped it

Thomkal · 10-05-2006, 01:55 PM

I liked the debut, but I've wondered since I first heard about the show what could happen during a bank robbery that could keep my interest for a whole season let alone more than one. So it will be interesting to see what happens next week. There are certainly some intriguing questions.

I think that would be a big twist Kevin if the girl was in on it, and would explain why she "didn't remember". Hard to see how a teenage girl could have anything to do with the robbers though.

Thomkal · 10-05-2006, 01:56 PM

ABC,

The networks have a tendency of late to repeat their hit shows over the weekend, so I would look and see, but like Lost I'm sure they will be showing the episodes over at ABC.com.

MrBigglesworth · 10-05-2006, 02:09 PM

I watched it and enjoyed it. The 'hook' definitely has me interested in watching the next episode to find out more about what happened.

SFL Cat · 10-05-2006, 02:45 PM

So it's not a show about a baseball team...?

rkmsuf · 10-05-2006, 02:46 PM

I gots me a hankerin for some The Nine spoilers. Who's with me?

samifan24 · 10-05-2006, 02:55 PM

I enjoyed it and am interested to see where they go with it. I am cautious that it will just become a Lost copycat with the characters backstories patched together, though.
