Hostages Premieres on CBS on September 23, 2013



Hostages is a high-octane suspense drama about a premiere surgeon thrust into a chilling political conspiracy when her family is taken hostage by rogue FBI Agent Duncan Carlisle. Dr. Ellen Sanders and her family are held captive in their home by Carlisle, a desperate man doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, who orders her to assassinate the President when she operates on him. His highly skilled accomplices include his brother-in-law Kramer, whose loyalty to Carlisle will be tested; quick-tempered and intimidating Archer, an ex-military man with a razor-sharp tongue; and the only woman involved, Sandrine, a mysterious last-minute replacement to the team. With her family's life in peril, Ellen faces an incomprehensible moral dilemma in order to save her overbearing husband Brian, her secretive daughter Morgan and her not-so-innocent son Jake. In this high-stakes standoff between Ellen and Carlisle, fraught with tremendous national and personal consequences, the choices between right and wrong become even more blurred.

After watching the fall preview show this looks like the best CBS new shows but I do like the look of all the comedy shows

Well this was another ok pilot but the problem is how will they make hostage situation last a whole season however i did like the fact that she had outsmarted the hostage taker by giving the president blood thinners which would take 2 week for him to recover which has now made the rest of season into one hell of long show.

Why Ellen never said anything about the missing photo strange and placing cameras in her home while the daughter was home risky but why didn't the dog bark when he placed the cameras and talk about a rogue FBI agent first seeing Duncan save the bank hostages only to then to take the doctor and her family hostage but delaying the surgery was a risky move

Why does every American TV family have boring secrets and cliche problems ?

Well making them put GPS tracker inside their bodies was one hell invisible leash but i have to say getting husband visit his mistress was rather amusing .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-3-2013 12:21     Subject: 1x02 Invisible Leash

I bet a lot of parents wish they could put trackers in their children but taking Brian to his mistress and expecting him to perform knowing they were listening was amusing but killing Angela should be a wake up call that they mean business
Author: bala    Time: 10-8-2013 08:50     Subject: 1x03 Power of Persuasion

Well convincing president to stick with that surgeon was tricky but watcher just sitting there while kid gets beaten up was cruel.   Glad one of them did something about it at the end . Tell his wife he's having an affair was a surprise.

Ellen meeting Duncan's daughter to try and gain insight into his life was surprising and allowing Jake to get beat up so not to draw attention to themselves was cruel but lets hope beating up Jake's attacker doesn't backfire

Well their escape plan had so many problem i am surprised they got as far as they did but it was obvious they would be a consequence to them escaping and now she has to make a tough choice
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-15-2013 10:16     Subject: 1x04 - 2.45 PM

Their plan with their kids to escape from Duncan was never going to work this early in the season but 8 out of 10 for effort and shooting Brian might of done her a favour as he was cheating on her but she's stupid enough to go back and save him
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-22-2013 06:38     Subject: 1x05 Truth And Consequences

I was right with her being stupid enough to go back and save his cheating ass and Morgan's boyfriend was lucky to get out alive but Ellen being chosen because she killed before was an interesting twist
Author: bala    Time: 10-22-2013 07:30     Subject: Reply 18#18 codebreaker's post

Well that's the problem when you married but the son being stupid enough to call the house was rather annoying. . You would think he would been happy that fact that there have no parental supervision if they got to Canada.

Ellen's quick cover story when her sister walked in unannounced was impressive and Morgan being pregnant couldn't of happened at a worse time but the doctor thinking she's being abused is only going to make things worse, Ellen thinking about killing Duncan wasn't going to end well
Author: bala    Time: 10-29-2013 08:01     Subject: Reply 22#22 codebreaker's post

Well what rotten timing having your sister come unexpected but wow what they did to get rid of her was sad but i have agree with Duncan that was much better option than killing her i just hope she will understand

You got to feel sorry for Ellen not matter how hard she tries she can't get a break going to her lawyer for help than finding out he was the one who choose her to this mission must been difficult but another good cliffhanger.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 11-5-2013 14:57     Subject: 1x07 Hail Mary

You can understand why Ellen went to him for help but him using what he did 15 years ago to his advantage was crafty

Author: bala    Time: 11-12-2013 06:18     Subject: The Good Reason

Well another great cliffhanger and i have to say this series does great cliffhanger every episode but what a stupid boyfriend thinking he could help her and getting shot . She should of done better job explain the situation instead hiding it .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 11-14-2013 14:10     Subject: 1x08 The Good Reason

So the President wanting to expose the details of Operation Total Information being the reason for wanting him dead and how many times is Ellen going to risk her family's life by trying to find out who's behind it, Morgan's boyfriend having no idea what's really going on was interesting but after the voice you would of thought he would of put the gun down

Man that Ellen is stubborn and now she know why Duncan needs the president dead but two loose ends were killed off in this episode was sad now they really can't prove anything . He should known better than trust anyone but Duncan trying to save his life was good effort .

Author: bala    Time: 11-26-2013 09:07     Subject: Burden of Truth

Wow it took 10 episode for hostages to side with the them,  with the daughter lying to boyfriend father about what happened to him and Ellen understanding why Duncan is doing what he doing but finding the mother was a surprise. Now they new problem which is going make things a lot more difficult.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 11-26-2013 13:59     Subject: 1x09 Loose Ends

Duncan's wife being the President's daughter was an interesting twist but surely killing him wouldn't do her any favours as he's a bone marrow match
Author: codebreaker    Time: 11-26-2013 14:48     Subject: 1x10 Burden of Truth

Boyd's father tuning up was a surprise but the way Morgan lied to him was impressive and Duncan going after the sniper before he gets him is going was interesting as it looks like he's not the target and could of been fatal for the woman in his bed

Well Ellen asking her husband mistress to help was highly amusing and she really seem sorry for the situation but some great lying on Ellen part and they saved the president

What a turn around having to save President Kincaid from the other sniper team only to kill him another day and Kate was lucky she agreed to wait before telling her story to expose the President
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-13-2013 14:23     Subject: 1x12 The Cost Of Living

Ellen saving a cop killer when everyone else gave up was impressive and Brian going to the police to expose Duncan and then ringing Duncan wife is going to put everyone's in danger
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-26-2013 01:51     Subject: 1x13 Fight or Flight

The fake shooting of Jake was impressive and Duncan locking his wife in her room to stop her going to the police was a surprise but escaping with her daughter was great but what a shame she didn't get away

That was close call with Sardine twice she escaped getting killed but she really came through for Duncan at the end.

What a season finale Ellen get bone marrow while everything was going down and Duncan turning himself in was surprise twist . If there's going to be a second season i will curious what will happen because they kind of given everyone on the show a happy ending .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-7-2014 07:39     Subject: 1x14 Suspicious Minds

Morgan spotting the tail was impressive and hiding in the gents toilets was smart and Sandrine helping them find Duncan's wife is bound to put her own life in danger
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-7-2014 09:23     Subject: 1x15 Endgame

What a great distraction at the hospital so Ellen could get the bone marrow and I'm surprised the first lady came through considering she had been protecting the President but looks like she's going to make him pay for his crimes

Finally got around to watching this far to the fetch.

President of the US is going to have surgery. Hospital, Doctors, medial staff etc are chosen, and those people will be under constant and strict surveillance from the time they are vetted until after the surgery and even the recovery period.

Seriously! I enjoyed one or two episodes in the beginning but the show just got ridiculous as it went on. Hence the one season.
