none of these shows are lost copycats--except maybe the event or surface and definitely the i-land--especially v which is a remake of the original show from the 70's.

Flashfoward was based on a book published in the 90s soooooo...

Invasion was so dumb but also so good.

wait the characters in the event were aliens?? why the fuck didnt they promote that? i would have at least been way more curious about it.

Yeah I remember all the advertising was just like "WHAT IS THE EVENT?" Like..... good q.... next lol.

Apparently The Passage was about a VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE! Who knew? Not me, it looked like the skeevy story of an FBI agent saving a girl from being used as a test subject by mad scientists.

I know some shows are hyper-conscious of spoilers in promos or whatever, but just... tell us what the show is about lol.

Terra Nova started off good, but then...

It felt too family-friendly to have interesting plots, if that makes sense

I watched it until the end but it really did just fall apart.

I really felt like their finale should have been their mid-season 'cliffhanger' episode because the majority of the episodes felt like they could have fit into 4 eps instead of 12

Still salty about FlashForward (and V) being cancelled 🥺🤬🤬🤬
