The pilot script for NBC’s The Event (premieres next Monday, Sept. 20th) is nothing more than leftist wish fulfillment, a smarmy progressive wet dream that somehow was approved by teams of executives, marketing research firms, focus groups, and Fortune 500 companies looking to advertise their services. It’s a Big Dumb Action Movie wannabe (no doubt they’re gonna make it “hip” and “edgy” with shaky-cam non-cinematography) propelled by a hyper-partisan political premise so preposterous, paranoid, and childish, it will make your head explode. Who, besides surgeons who fix botched lobotomies, would advertise for that?
