I missed the first couple of programmes but have found myself utterly drawn in. It really is excellent television - and I am not normally a scifi lover. Has anyone else be Taken (forgive the pun) ?

Cheers, I will try and catch up.

Does it have a "last time on Taken" as '24' did at the start of each show ?

I'm with you NotoriousREV, watched the first one as it looked pretty good, but actually turned out to be mince.

I didn't like the first episode but gave it a second chance. The next episode sent me to sleep I was so bored. Gave up after that. Sounds like its got better though. Also it's difficult to like a show where the main protagonist (that Army guy) is basically an a$$hole.

Love it!

but if you have not seen them all, then you will find it very, very difficult to catch up and understand what is going on.

But cant wait for the next one!

watched every episode so far and gotta say until last Sats BBC Choice episode, I was getting very bored of it - seems to be picking up the pace now tho.

Considering its dealing with such a dark and shadowy subject, filled with information and disinformation, I cant believe its such a shallow plot with 1 dimentional characters....IMHO of course.

I was hoping it was going to be on par with close encounters but it aint even close.

I'll keep watching, but dissapointed so far...

Whens Alias coming back - anyone know?

Is shown on Sat night at 9pm, (next episode shown straight after on BBC Choice) repeated on Friday nights at about 11:35 pm.

It does have a 'previously' thing at the start.

I'm rather into it.

As good as Dark Skies? hmm, not sure, but it's pretty damn good.
