Con't Alcatraz - Ernest Cobb

Also as some places have stated and one may correct me if I am wrong either in the pilot episode or in the second episode "Ernest Cobb," we saw the first criminal-which to no surprise was Ernest Cobb himself. It was really a phenomenal and most intriguing episode establishing the characters and plot further Ernest Cobb came back.


Then we also get introduced to Lucy Banerjee(Parminder Nagra) more and we find that Emerson Hauser(Sam Neill- or @TwoPaddocks on twitter) rather loves her dearly-when she gets shot out of the window and enough to end up in coma. We also see Detective Rebecca Madsen(Sarah Jones) how she starts warming up to Hauser and how much of an intelligent albeit comic/Alcatraz and helpful geek Dr. Diego Soto(Jorge Garcia) is. We also see Dr. Milton Beauregard(Leon Rippy) when he starts to try to bring Lucy Banerjee back to life-and we come to assume that there is something there that seems 'fishy,' perhaps Emerson Hauser(Sam Neill) being the brilliant genius Hauser is has deleted pictures of past prisoners who have died making it seem as though-those prisoners who have seemed to have disappeared have not disappeared and the ones that he-Hauser is holding in his own under prison underneath Alcatraz-which *cough* *cough* a note to tourists wanting to go to Alcatraz does NOT EXIST in real life-you're an idiot if you actually believe that-because Alcatraz is all fiction! Anyways, perhaps Hauser got new criminals and deleted files in the databases via the internet which he seems to use-the internet seems to be a crutch for the character-and maybe the new criminals are just reinactors-committing the same crimes being told they have to by Hauser perhaps and they would win something(dunno quite what yet)-and then they wind up in Hauser's prison after they catch them committing crimes. I guess those are some of my guesses/assumptions for Alcatraz!

Anyways based on this Alcatraz episode at the end Ernest Cobb
-Detective Rebecca Madsen(Sarah Jones) turns out to not shoot him and let him go-only to be arrested and put in Hauser's prison underneath Alcatraz. We also learn yet again that Jorge Garcia, Sarah Jones, Parminder Nagra, Leon Rippy, Jonny Coyne and Sam Neill(@TwoPaddocks on twitter) are all great and phenomenal actors we all wish to be friends/colleagues with because they all do such an extraordinary job of making Alcatraz one of the best shows in this particular episode yet again! And I read somewhere(I am now forgetting where...) though that blog said for Sam Neill(@TwoPaddocks) to tone it down a bit-his acting-since they think he overshadows the show--though I don't think he overshadows the other actors at all-his character of Emerson Hauser is one of the best created and-it has made me become an Alcatrazian for lack of a better word-because I have since found that instead of loving Law&Order Special Victims Unit as much I would rather watch and re-watch these new Alcatraz shows-so whatever you do @TwoPaddocks...DO NOT TONE down your acting-you are brilliant as are Parminder Nagra, Jorge Garcia, Jonny Coyne(@JonnyCoyneActor), Sarah Jones and Leon Rippy! I do not think again that we could ever find a cast as phenomenal as this and I hope Alcatraz continues for many seasons as I hope all of these wonderful actors continue to bring their A-Game and I pray that the creators Steven Lillien and Bryan that they continue to do so as well and JJ Abrams too and I don't think it has too much of a "Lost" feel which is great unlike what some other blogs have said which is that it does. No-I think that Alcatraz has it's own "feel" rather to it-that of an Alcatraz feel-I find that Alcatraz is high up there in my heart and my mind as THE BEST SHOW!!! XD!! Okay that was coming and end of rant because I think I've typed long enough-more to come soon! x I mean since I have to do episodes 3, 4, 5, etc.! I'm not leaving those out and I would love to thank @TwoPaddocks most incredibly for all of his many talented and pivotal roles throughout the years though most importantly for making the decision to agree to play the role of Emerson Hauser on Alcatraz-so THANK YOU MUCHO SAM NEILL(@TWOPADDOCKS) <3 YOU SO MUCH!

Alcatraz Episode 1 - Pilot
















Well after it seemed the whole world watched the trailer for Alcatraz and then the show. The first episode of Alcatraz or rather the pilot episode, one knew Alcatraz would be a show that the whole world would go topsy-turvy for. One knew and could have a feeling based on the great casting and the great creator/director of the show JJ Abrams. Also the co creator Bryan does such a great job each week and the writer Steven Lillien. Of course the actors Jose Garcia(everyone) pretty much knew from "Lost" and Sam Neill (@TwoPaddocks) on twitter both are great actors-both women were great actresses or to use the equalizing term actors-until of course they win best actress-Alcatraz is the most brilliant show of this decade to be sure-it far exceeds such shows as "The Voice" on NBC, or "American Idol" or "Law&Order Special Victims Unit" for that matter which has a fabulous cast in and of itself! For more information-Alcatraz can be watched 9pm EST or 9pm Pacific time for those on the West Coast myself!
