When I saw the previews for this new series it looked pretty exciting! After watching the first episode, I think we're in for an awesome season. The only problem I have with shows like these is they seem like they would be better off if they were movies. I mean how do you keep the excitement up? How do you keep the show going? Missing was another show that would have been better off a movie. They ended it on a cliff hanger and ABC decided to shut the show down. If it were a movie it would have either ended the same way and they would have done a sequel, or they would have ended it differently and satisfied the viewers. Anyhow, back to Hostages. It's about a woman who is a successful doctor. She was chosen to operate on the President. A former FBI hostage negotiator got a band of people together (4 of them total) to basically watch the doctor and her family's every move. When they felt the time was right, they ambushed them in their home and they're holding them hostage. They want the doctor, who was set to operate on the President the next day, to empty this vile into the President which will shut his organs down and kill him. They haven't established WHY these people want the President dead yet. Hopefully soon they will though, because it's really confusing. I mean these people break into this sweet doctor's home and start threatening to kill her family if she doesn't kill him. It doesn't really make sense yet. The only facts we're given are the FBI hostage negotiator's (I said former earlier since it hasn't been established if he's still working there) wife has cancer and isn't doing very well. I have no idea what that has to do with the President though... Hopefully this will become clearer as the season goes on. Oh and for the record, she gave the President a blood thinner so that she wouldn't be able to operate on him period. It said at the end on the "news" that he would have to try again for the operation the following week. So looks like she's gonna be one of those tough girls =).
