So...what is the airing situation with Alcatraz? There are two episodes that aired/are airing tonight (1x09 and 1x10), but did 1x08 air? I would like to talk about it.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think it's on next week.

Interesting. I guess they decided it didn't have any impact on continuity? I am in the middle of it, and I haven't seen the two that aired tonight yet.

Apparently. Weirdly, they are showing tonight's episodes again over the next two Saturday nights but didn't put the one that got pre-empted on over this past weekend like I expected. At least my station didn't.

I think 1x08 is the strongest episode yet. (It's called "Clarence Montgomery.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have I missed them touching on how incredibly well adjusted everyone is to technology, etc? Or is that something that will be unravelled later?

Glad to hear it, the previews looked really good. That is the title my DVR says will be on next Monday, btw. Looks like two weeks before I get that House, but no newer ones in between, so more waiting but less confusing.
Eta: if they explained or even mentioned the curious lack of culture shock, I missed it

The last one that aired had the prisoner from Alcatraz confused at how people were watching something on a phone, but that has pretty much been it.

I think the poisoner's being unfamiliar with online video is the only reference so far. Their ability to navigate 2012 is one of the many things I find baffling. Or irritating.
Also, colloidal silver? Really?
On the other hand, Doc's "Has he noticed he's the only one who shoots them?" was gold.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That cracked me up.
I liked these two episodes; they were different. Having an episode completely on Alcatraz was fun, and I kind of liked that the other guy was enacting a horribly sadistic personal vendetta rather than just, like, committing the same crimes he used to commit for no discernible reason like a lot of the other '63s.
