The Event S1E1

What is "The Event" on NBC? That has been the question that has been on everyone's mind since the previews for this new series hit earlier this summer. Tonight, the series premiere for "The Event" finally hit the network, and things start with explosively with a couple heading off on a trip, but there is a time jump where the man that was going on a trip is now hijacking a plane. A man from some secret organization tries to stop the plane from taking off in Miami, but he is unsuccessful. The airport's radar even goes dark!

The Event Time Jumps Through Time

This is where we go for another time jump with him on a cruise and proposing to his fiancee just ass a woman starts to drown. He jumps in to saves her. The time jumps in this series in the first twenty minutes are enough to give anyone a headache! This earlier time is on a cruise, and everything looks to be perfect for the young couple in love. What changes between that day and the time on the plane in Miami? From their we go back to the plane where a marshal is trying to arrest the man trying to hijack the plane. He is very intent on getting into the cockpit. It looks to be too late though! Halfway through the episode and there is still no clue to what the big event is.

Whatever the big event is, it is known by those in Washington, but the President of the United States had no clue about it. There are ninety-seven prisoners being kept, and the CIA is in control of the project. Here in this world, the president is played by Blair Underwood, and he takes charge. He wants to meet these people being held. Once he meets them, he decides to go public and takes the leader of those captive for a press conference. Will this finally tell all what the event is? Not yet! There is an attack coming for the president, and it is the plane that was taken from Miami. It is crashing towards the location of the president. Someone doesn't want this information revealed!

Family Connections And Disappearances

Another time jump takes us back to eight days before the plane hijacking where the focus is on the family of the female half of the couple. There is trouble though as her father is too tense. He won't talk to his daughter, and his wife picks up on it just as people with guns come in and break into the house. This episode has so many twists. It is hard to keep up. We learn that the pilot of the plane is the father of the daughter Sean Walker is set to marry. Another twist! Has there been enough of those in this premiere? Could this series have too many twists to keep up with? The pilot locks everyone out of the cockpit, and then there is a time jump back to the cruise and the happy couple. Sean has joined their new friends on a watching trip. When he returns to the hotel, he is locked out of his hotel room. Turns out, he is no longer signed into that room. His girlfriend is supposedly still there, but when security takes him to the room, she is gone. There is no record of him or the girlfriend even being on board.

He calls her family, but there is a lot of blood and no answer. What is going on? Still no idea what the event is! The air force wants to take down the plane, and it is still on course to crash. Sean tries to reason with Michael, but he doesn't seem to get through to him. Whatever the event is, it is huge! The plane blows up or is somehow disintegrated. There is no debris from the destruction. What in the world just happened? Who saved them? Who is them? Another alien series? Is this possible? No idea yet, but hopefully all find that out soon. An okay start with a lot of twists. Will you keep watching to find out what "The Event" is?
