Eventually

I'm still watching The Event.  In fact, it seems to have improved lately.  The storylines have gotten clearer but there's enough intrigue to keep it lively.  The ratings are down, however, and without an uptick I'd guess it's not going to be around next season.

The show has shaken out into a (vague spoilers) humans versus aliens situation.  Sophia is no longer offering the olive branch and President Martinez is now down with his security chief.  But the odd thing is there's no clear rooting interest.  Oh, we like certain characters, but in the big picture we don't know whose side we're on.

On a show like V, we may find the aliens more interesting, but they're behind a conspiracy and the good guys are the humans.  On Battlestar Galactica, there's a lot going on with the Cylons, but I don't think we ever doubt we want the humans to make it.  On Lost, when you think about it, the crash survivors cause quite a hassle, and kill a lot of people, while the motives of the DI, the various Others, Jacob and the MIB are all over the place--yet, we're on the side of the Lostaways all the way through.

But The Event spends about as much time sympathetically showing things from the aliens point of view as that of the humans.  You don't necessarily feel they must be defeated. Or maybe that's just how it's been going so far.  Now that their objective is taking over Earth, perhaps that will change.
