They Didn't Tell You The Biggest Secret of All?

I've never seen Hulu's "The Morning After" before, but if the rest of their segments are anything like this Alcatraz Dub, I might watch a few more. The dub brings up some pretty good points regarding the show, the first being, it's not Lost.

This can go one of two ways.  Cult fans of Abrams' CBS sci-fi might be disappointed that there's no new question-wrapped-in-an-enigma-wrapped-in-a-mystery to fill the void Lost's series finale left; but, on the other hand, the more procedural, criminal-of-the-week might attract viewers who tried to get into Lost but stopped after missing an episode or two.  A more procedural approach allows casual viewers to enjoy the show without feeling like they're missing something or being confused. This might help Alcatraz's ratings in the long run (unless Alcatraz turns out anything like Undercovers did.)

Also, with Fringe's future uncertain at this point, Fox might be giving Fringe fans something to move onto in case the show isn't renewed for a fifth season.
