I'll probably watch it

I saw it a couple of months ago and wasn't very impressed. I had a hard time taking the character Egan seriously because he's played by the same guy who played Dr. Phlox on Enterprise. I hear him talk and think Dr. Phlox.

I didn't get much of an idea for the direction of the show based on the pilot so I still plan on watching the first few episodes.

Hopefully it's good. I think it will mean that everybody from party of five is now on a TV show.

"The Nine" sounds like the name of a bad porno star.

Anybody watch this?

It seemed to be slow, hard to see how they are going to stretch it over a whole season, let alone several (possible) seasons. I guess it looks like the robbery was some kind of bigger conspiracy, but you gotta wonder how long they can keep the mystery going.

Yeah, I'm pretty confused as to exactly where this goes. Is it just now about the people there? I guess that's 9 or so different stories or people to follow, but I'm not sure how good that will be. And you're right about the larger conspiracy. Not sure how long that can last.

Watched it and enjoyed it although it was slow and hard to follow at times (that was done purposely I know but making it too confusing for the avg viewer could really backfire on them). This show has a lot of potential

The next few episodes should be a good indicator of how this show is going to go, specifically with it going to its normal format ... the majority of the show dealing with what is happening to the characters now and then a 10 minute chunk of what happened during the hostage situation.

I'll take a wait and see approach with this one

It was alright. I hated all of the slow motion. I started to feel like I was watching a John Wu (one of my least favorite directors) movie. It will be interesting to see how they stretch this out while keeping people interested. I mean you have to give people enough each week to keep them around.

I agree. I thought it was okay and am willing to give it a few more episodes.
