Not The Event: NBC - Please Come Up with More Clever Titles

So I've been waiting for this show to come back from its mid-season break to update on this - so it is relevant.
It's been called "If 24 and Lost had a baby" - yes quite frankly it is, but like those shows, I quite hate it. Lost was good for a while but then [like Heroes] lost its plot and had too many characters.

In which lets start the list of why it sucks:
1. Too many characters and side stories - it seems when this happens in shows, they typically last for about 4 seasons.
2. Honestly the first episode of the season lacked real clarity on what the heck was going on half the time - but I will give it the "good ending so I am intrigued to watch more" phrase. The whole missing plane with a flash was interesting but that plot was drawn out so much for so long after that I almost considered making a drinking game out of it. "Every time they mention the plane being gone, drink!"
3. While the casting overall is good, the characters have way too much going on in each little segment. In one episode I learn how the President became President but then flashes to Jason Ritter being shot at - it jumps way too much between characters for the characters to actually gain development. When this happens, I lose interest in the characters, because in no way shape or form do I actually understand them.
4. The whole lets kill people off then bring them back, then kill them again, and then having them maybe be alive is really concerning. One - it gets complicated. Two - usually who they killed in the first place, I could have cared less about.

The only plus':
1. Casting - I am a big fan of both Jason Ritter and DB Sweeney - in fact, if the focus was more on the reaction and complications of Jason Ritter's character, I would be happy to watch.
2. The Aliens - aliens that look like us who age at considerably lower rates - love it. But geez how much double crossing does a mother and son have? One week they're hugging and the next one has a gun to the other.

That's about it for plus' - I would recommend that you don't watch this if you haven't already watched it and somehow got "addicted". I was hoping for a good alien show this year - it has seemed to fail. Oh well...
