The Event
The stylized logo of The Event has been made to attract the audience’s attention and make them curious of what this show has to offer. It consists of various elements that are put together to challenge the viewer’s logical inferences and excite them with every event and occurrence. The Event has a great mixture of science fiction, adventure, and political ideals which initially premiered in September 2010. The main plot of The Event revolves around a group of extraterrestrial beings that have been kept under strict surveillance by the government of the United States since their crash as the Second World War ended.
These extraterrestrials appeared human but were interestingly tested to have a different DNA composition compared to humans. They are known to age slowly as compared to humans but both still have very similar characteristics. The extraterrestrials were known as the Sleepers who have survived the crash in Alaska. After being inaugurated as the new president, Elias Martinez met with the Sleepers and decided to release them and opting to do what is right. Towards the end of the entire series, the understanding that Martinez had for the extraterrestrials was further explained upon exposing that his wife, the first lady was also one of them. However, the release of the extraterrestrials led to an assassination plot built against Martinez causing the CIA to work in order to find all extraterrestrials.
One of the lead characters in the event is Sean Walker, who is a software engineer working for the United States government. He has planned to propose to his girlfriend, Leila, but she suddenly disappeared because of being abducted together with her younger sister. Upon finding her kidnapped girlfriend, Sean uncovered a conspiracy of the assassination attempt on the president and also discovered later on that his girlfriend was actually half extraterrestrial and half human.
The entire series was made up of genius components that have exposed every secret and story carefully. It helped unfold the story in a very witty process keeping its audiences thinking of the possible reasons and explanations for past events. This was done through several flashbacks coming from the characters as they developed and unfolded their true disposition. There were several clues being discovered in each episode making the audience to watch and follow the show.
Towards the middle of the entire series, the flashbacks were lessened because of the audience negative reactions. A lot of audiences found this means of telling the story quite confusing. The producers and writers created the rest of the story line to make sure that audiences are able to keep in track with all the events in every episode. Because it was changed based on the feedback of the audience, the straight to the point technique helped keep its viewers happy and follow the plot easily. The final episode of The Event was shown in May 2011 giving its audience a clear understanding that extraterrestrials are within our midst as they walk along the streets, ride in the buses, and work in offices like all humans do.
