Damn! Is anyone watching this program?

I'm talking about Traveler - this new kinda terrorist thriller. Now I know it is likely another one of those hold-you-in-suspense-then-string-you-along shows, but some of the premise is pretty great....

You can check it out at: http://abc.go.com/primetime/traveler/index

1. It was on tonight?

Dang, missed it. Any good?

2. Surprisingly good. I don't watch much television

but the premise of the program is that three college students decide to take a trip across the country. . .and one of them somehow sets a bomb off in the New York Art Museum. The other two are freaked, and immediately get put on the terrorist list and the FBI and everyone else is suddenly chasing them. . .

I think the web site is going to load the program after it is broadcasted. . .

Anyway, I thought it was a great commentary on how paranoid everything can be when the government suddenly decides something is an act of terror and starts labeling everyone. The guys (college students) aren't able to trust anyone any longer. . .and they have an interesting (not criminal) background, including one whose father committed suicide after the government apparently set him up on a friendly fire charge during the Kuwait war. If you are able, it is definitely interesting enough to check out on the web site. . .

3. I watched both hours {perhaps a spoiler}

seems you can't trust your government. Who knew? :shrug:

Worth watching. Kind of 24 meets Prison Break without the entirely over the top personas. The parallels to a 9-11 as an inside job school of thought are too obvious to be accidental.

4. I watched about three minutes

the words terrorist, watch lists and Homeland Security were prominent throughout the small bit I saw. Just another show to promote the terror bogey the good ol' USA seems to be hooked on.
