In Any Event

I saw The Event earlier this week.  Yes, I'm still watching (though the ratings are way down).  The show has some decent action and situations, even if most of the characters aren't much.  It's nowhere near Lost, which it would like to be, but it's a lot better than V or FlashForward.  I even like it better than post-season 1 Heroes.

I wouldn't mention it except much of the plot this week in "Turnabout" was about a threat to a nuclear plant.  The characters talked about another Chernobyl.  And then we cut to the commercials, where the local NBC station had a promo about a possible meltdown in Japan.  I wonder if there was some discussion at NBC about holding the episode, or at least dubbing in new dialogue.

By the way, while the show is still fun, the plot was even more implausible than usual, featuring a series of stupid decisions from numerous characters.  A few more like this, and I'm done.  Then again, there are only a few more episodes this season, and then The Event may be over.

PS  Taylor Cole, pictured above, plays my favorite character, Vicky Roberts, rogue assassin.  Earlier she had a recurring role on Heroes.  Looking at her bio, I discovered we have the same birthday.  Something I'll be sure to note if I run into her.
