What's ultimately frustrating about The Event is not the lack of answers or the dreadfully lazy characterizations. It's the insistence that the plot somehow taps into something that's happening right now in the United States.

Lots of eye candy, mystery, intrigue, questions, and superlative production values.

The Event comes across as enigmatic without being engaging.

The "Event'' premiere operates like a well-oiled machine.

The Event, shrouded in mystery by necessity, is one of those shows-a whodunit spun into a big whatsit built to keep the audience scratching for answers, solving for X-files.

It seems rude to extend an invitation to so many people without delivering an event.

The Event is such a blur of shadowy operatives, dubious motives, cryptic dialogue and mystifying time shifts that by the end, many viewers may be not so much curious as simply confused.

If you can tolerate the overly histrionic pilot and are curious enough to find out what "the event" actually is, of which there is no mention in the pilot, then NBC has a Lost-esque show on its hands. Count me out.
