Alcatraz Premieres on FOX on January 16, 2012
When San Francisco Police Department DET. REBECCA MADSEN (Sarah Jones, Sons of Anarchy) is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: JACK SYLVANE (guest star Jeffrey Pierce, The Nine), a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. Given her family history - both her grandfather and surrogate uncle, RAY ARCHER (Robert Forster, Jackie Brown), were guards at the prison - Madsen's interest is immediately piqued, and once the enigmatic, knows-everything-but-tells-nothing government agent EMERSON HAUSER (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park) tries to impede her investigation, she's doggedly committed. Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast, DR. DIEGO DOC SOTO (Jorge Garcia, Lost), to piece together the inexplicable sequence of events. The twosome discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he's loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake. And strangely, he hasn't aged a day since he was in Alcatraz, when the prison was ruled by the iron-fisted WARDEN EDWIN JAMES (Jonny Coyne, Undercovers) and the merciless ASSOCIATE WARDEN E.B. TILLER (Jason Butler Harner, The Changeling).

the pilot episodes where great. really looking forward to the next episode. just hope it won't get boring Author: bala Time: 1-17-2012 07:58 Subject: Pilot
Well i was really excited by this but it really did feel a bit like Lost to start off with but who knows but i thought it obvious her first partner would end up dead but team up with expert was interesting since he's really most unlikely person you want as your partner. I did like the fact they built super secret banker to house the prisoners but it strange that it looks empty Author: bala Time: 1-17-2012 08:01 Subject: Ernest Cobb
Well the snipers one was good but shocked that she got shot but ending was make your mind wonder if she was responsible for this ? Author: kellemanske Time: 1-18-2012 14:17 Subject: Reply 11#11 bala's post
I never watched lost so I wouldn't know about that. But I love how the 'boss' and his sidekick have a bad side as well. And I wonder how her grandfather knew something bad was gonna happen. I guess he'll be the red wire throughout the season while they'll catch a new guy every episode. Which is also why I hope it won't get boring. Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-18-2012 14:21
loving this! It's a go for me Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-18-2012 15:02 Subject: Reply 11#11 bala's post
Her being shot so close to the beginning of the season is a bummer, but showing up later as the Doc in the ward was a brilliant twist. How did she not age. I thought it was just inmates and guards.
I never watched Lost either, so I'm looking forward to this. Author: codebreaker Time: 1-19-2012 08:45 Subject: 1x01 Pilot
Great question were Jack Sylvane has been for almost 50 years but looking at the way he was treated I'm not surprised that he killed E.B. Tiller and Jack new prison cell is an improvement on the last one Author: codebreaker Time: 1-19-2012 10:34 Subject: 1x02 Ernest Cobb
Lucy was lucky to survive and good call on finding Ernest Cobb's final location but Emerson shooting him the right hand was great Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-19-2012 11:04 Subject: Reply 16#16 codebreaker's post
I thought it was poetic justice for Cobb to be shot too!!Author: bala Time: 1-24-2012 09:24 Subject: Kit Nelson
Well this was disturbing guy kidnap young boys but his treatment at alcatraz was awful you would thought cured him of his condition being beaten up on regular basis but bring dead body back to doctor certainly was strange ?

Author: codebreaker Time: 1-27-2012 13:23 Subject: Reply 18#18 bala's post
It's a good job Doc was on the ball and recognised Nelson's MO and the way he was treated in prison is what you would expect for a child killer but the kid escaping by breaking the light was brave and impressive Author: codebreaker Time: 2-1-2012 13:12
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-2-2012 01:17 Subject: 1x04 Cal Sweeney
Rebecca breaking Cal out of the bank was to easy and Doc needs to learn how to follow without being spotted Author: bala Time: 2-2-2012 01:21 Subject: Reply 22#22 codebreaker's post
Well he's a comic book guy no real experience following Author: kellemanske Time: 2-2-2012 09:04
And he hadn't been in a car for a very long time.
Next week, the first guard is going to be interesting. Author: codebreaker Time: 2-6-2012 20:21
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-9-2012 12:00 Subject: 1x05 Guy Hastings
Guy coming back to find Rebecca's grandfather Tommy was interesting but i thought using Ray to help meant a civilian now knows what happened in 1963 but looks like he already knew 16 years ago when he turned down the job, what Ray did to Tommy in 63 to cover his real identity was brutal but how long has Tommy been back Author: bala Time: 2-9-2012 12:03 Subject: Reply 26#26 codebreaker's post
I don't know but the fact he turn up at end was a surprise but when will Rebecca meet other members of her team Author: kellemanske Time: 2-9-2012 13:55 Subject: Reply 27#27 bala's post

Never ever bring a gun to a bomb fight . He really knew how to use bombs . Author: babysexylexy Time: 2-14-2012 12:34
i just hope jj abrams doesnt have a let down of an ending for this like he did lost Author: bala Time: 2-14-2012 12:44 Subject: Reply 32#32 babysexylexy's post

so did dr gupta create this experiment or wasnt it the creepy old dr, did she or he hand pick them or what Author: codebreaker Time: 2-19-2012 05:17 Subject: Reply 31#31 bala's post
Rebecca should of shot Paxton in the leg or something before hiding from the land mine and Emerson should of done the same when he stepped on the mine and if he wasn't so secretive they would of know where to find him but tragic that Tanner died Author: codebreaker Time: 2-20-2012 22:29
Author: codebreaker Time: 2-28-2012 03:37 Subject: 1x07 Johnny McKee
The way those guys spoke to Johnny I'm not surprised he did what he did as he had a background in chemistry but the other in the pool as collateral damage was wrong Author: codebreaker Time: 2-28-2012 06:58 Subject: 1x08 Clarence Montgomery
Putting Clarence in the Alcatraz kitchens was a bad idea but why an innocent man from Alcatraz would resurfaces to commit the crimes he was accused of was interesting and you can only put it down to the treatment he got Author: codebreaker Time: 3-6-2012 05:35

I know that but have VIP got just the names wrong or are the episodes in the wrong order Author: bala Time: 3-6-2012 07:06 Subject: Reply 42#42 codebreaker's post
Titles are wrong way around Author: codebreaker Time: 3-6-2012 07:10 Subject: Reply 43#43 bala's post
Good to know Author: bala Time: 3-6-2012 08:20 Subject: The Ames Brother
Well this was nice episode but those two brother were a real team but finding out who had gold at end was interesting. Author: bala Time: 3-6-2012 08:22 Subject: Sonny Burnett
Well sonny was a kidnapper but you kind of feel sorry for him start out as nice guy turned him into a bad guy but kidnapping women daughter was one hell of a payback Author: arksongbird80 Time: 3-6-2012 17:25
I liked the two episodes. For the most part they were very interesting.
?? What's up with the coma chick? Seriously, they can't figure out a way to wake her up? She doesn't age but since episode one, she's can't wake up. Humph.
?? Creepy grandpa looking through the window. Protective or just stalkerish. Author: codebreaker Time: 3-12-2012 06:21
I'm starting to get confused as Clarence Montgomery (01x10) is to air tonight but i watched this as episode 8 and last week there was 2 updated but with the episodes being names as one of the character's they is no way of mixing up which episode is which Author: bala Time: 3-12-2012 06:32 Subject: Reply 48#48 codebreaker's post
I don't understand either episode order was changed when they decided air it or it cock up from the network Author: codebreaker Time: 3-12-2012 06:45 Subject: Reply 49#49 bala's post
I have just been to the home page and it's the same so it looks like they are repeating it Author: codebreaker Time: 3-12-2012 19:25

Loosing his finger was a hell of a price to pay just to distract the guards and the warden having the gold was interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 3-13-2012 10:15 Subject: Reply 46#46 bala's post
Only leaving two men outside Helen's house was a big mistake, Doc's comment after Hauser said he wants them all alive was amusing and seeing the car while he buried the girl i thought they would use the GPS to find him Author: codebreaker Time: 3-19-2012 20:19
Well i am glad they found out about doctor secret but seriously ending it with her eyes open was a bit too much it's been done too many times on various tv shows Author: bala Time: 3-27-2012 07:15 Subject: Garrett Stillman
Well we kind of knew Tommy Madsen was behind this but he really was smart inmate Author: bala Time: 3-27-2012 07:18 Subject: Tommy Madsen
A very good season finale with great cliffhanger i really hope this get renewed Author: codebreaker Time: 3-30-2012 11:25 Subject: 1x11 Webb Porter
Being the first one Doc didn't know the M.O. made a nice change and i was wondering how long it would take the other to realise Emerson was holding the 63's somewhere special Author: codebreaker Time: 3-30-2012 12:27 Subject: 1x12 Garrett Stillman
The way Stillman managed to swap the parole papers was impressive and Doc putting his phone in the car was great and it was a good job he didn't stay in the car Author: codebreaker Time: 3-30-2012 13:33 Subject: 1x13 Tommy Madsen
Doc refusing to give the third key to Emerson at first was great and i love a good car chase but Rebecca flat-lining was a surprising cliffhanger but you can imagine they will use the 63's blood to save her Author: spratt89 Time: 5-10-2012 01:19
Well this was a surprise but wasn't expected . Author: kellemanske Time: 5-10-2012 13:50 Subject: Reply 61#61 spratt89's post
really, this is surprising to me. Although I don't understand the whole thing with viewers and all, I thought this was a pretty good series. Too bad this got cancelled.
