The Event is One Big, Entertaining Disaster - TV.com

From the article:

... "In case you didn't know, The Event was originally conceived without any science-fiction elements in it. Zero. Nada. Zilch. When NBC read the script, it dug the thriller/conspiracy aspect, but thought the show needed more. So they actually went to creator Nick Wauters and said, "We love it the way it is, but what do you think about adding maybe a little bit of a sci-fi element to it?" And like anyone looking forward to adding some cash to their coffers, he did what he had to do to sell the script." ...

It still has some momentum to it, but I actually stopped watching after about 4 or 5 episodes.

I watched it, and had trouble following the time line. Not sure why they had to bounce around So much. A little is okay.

Sometimes going back and forth through time can be too confusing, I agree. I just didn't want to devote my full attention to it.

Same here dude, I just lost interest in watching this. The had a good start but they just can't live up to the expectations.
