"The Event" - Episode Two Recap and Time Line

Image via Wikipedia

Let’s get this right out of the way.... yes, there are aliens on The Event. There, quick like a band-aid, that didn’t hurt too bad. I know I said I would likely give up watching The Event if it was an alien show. I was young and that was the Bill Mahr show so of course I didn’t mean it... wait, that wasn’t me.

Anyway, to make a very long story short I will now recap the second episode of The Event in a single paragraph. I’ll also give you a more detailed recap in a time line that makes sense (hint hint to the writers of the show).

Tonight we saw the plane crash land in the desert of Arizona. With Blackhawks approaching the landing site, Capt. Mike Buchanan tells Sean Walker to run and not to trust anyone. Sean ran, but quickly forgot the second part. He wakes up in a hospital for heat stroke and is quickly arrested by the FBI for murder on the cruise ship. Meanwhile in Miami, the President meets with his advisers in the CIA who tell him of a plane crash 66 years ago. The plane held aliens. Some of them survived and these were the detainees he was about to release. Some of the aliens escaped and are now blended in with the world’s societies.
