The final words of Emerson Hauser
as the pilot episode of Alcatraz comes to end…and
all I’m left with is one question, what the fuck?! I have just watched the
first episode of Alcatraz and somehow am left
wondering what the hell is going on, I’m already questioning the characters and
their motives, who is good and who is bad. The most intriguing character for me
was Hauser, my opinion of him kept changing throughout the episode; first I
thought he seemed like an idiot, then like he had something to hide, then I
felt like he was a good ally to main character Rebecca Madsen, and then this
his closing line made me feel like he has something to hide. I am intrigued by
this series, I felt like this pilot was kind of all over the place…yet it still
had my attention. To me it seems like a mix between prison break and CSI, a new
crime/ prisoner to hunt down each week, all with a back story, all linking back
to the Alcatraz prison. The series also has an
interesting cast; the guy from Jurassic Park, the girl (not Kiera Knightly)
from Bend it Like Beckham, and the fat guy from Lost, they all team up to hunt
down the missing prisoners of Alcatraz. This series seems to have an
interesting story with a lot of scope; there are many routes which the writers
can take with each of the characters. Because of all the characters and the
story so far, I will be interested to see where the series takes us, and for
that reason I will continue to watch Alcatraz .
