Just so we are on the same page

I was trying to watch that new show that premiered called "The Event", notice i said trying.  Everyone is saying that its like LOST and 24,  that it is not.  i honestly couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of it.  its honestly like the movie memento was chopped up and they added more characters and time stamps.  11 minutes earlier to present, 11 days earlier to present, 23 minutes earlier to that past scene.  Really?  i stopped caring after about 5 minutes and gave it 5 minutes to behave and sit still, but it wouldn't so i'm done. 


They should have showed the "event" first and then jumped around,  i could give a crap less about jumping around on the promise of something really cool is coming up next.  with the way its going now its going to be another Heroes, the end never comes.  Or it will end like lost where it stretches on and they make it up as they go making the story so convoluted in its own mythology that it sucks.  Heroes and Lost should have been one season with a beginning, middle, and an end. (or end, middle, beginning)  And if it was successful, maybe a sequel or spin-off.  which would allow for plot holes to be filled with other peoples perspectives.
