NBC Persons Unknown Theory – Episode Ten
Posted by LOTGK on August 23, 2010
Back from a one week hiatus, NBC Persons Unknown was back on the air Saturday for the 10th installment of the Summer series. Next Saturday the 28th is the two hour series finale where all will be revealed. before we get there, let’s look at what was revealed on Saturday.
* Tonight, we bring back the (*) to skim through the bullet points of Saturdays show.
* The new night watchman, Liam, takes over and sets the captive 7 up for a fall. He is as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
* Liam pampers the guests with a unique gift for each. The gifts are very personal and move the guests emotionally. Later the guests are drugged and sedated.
* We are made aware that there are multiple towns, splitting images of each other where similar experiments are performed on 7 other unlucky people.
* When the captive 7 awake from their drug induced sleep, their personalities have been tweaked. They all seem to get along better.
* The men in the blue jump suits are working over time. They are all over the place.
* News Flash: The men in blue are terrible shots. They had dead aim on the Jeep as it was driving away. Three targets, no windows, open air Jeep, and all 7 of the men couldn’t hit a tire, gas tank, one of the passengers in the Jeep. These guys need fired.
So what does the Grassy Knoll Institute think…..
Last week I announced that the captive 7 were in a virtual reality laboratory. All the participants are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? A New World Order government consortium in partner with a superior race of aliens.
Tonight, let me throw out yet another theory. Perhaps they are in Purgatory, a weigh station to heaven or hell, where the men in blue are angels or demons, depending on your interpretation, to keep the damned in line. Case in point, Liam and Janet are talking at the end of the show. Liam tells her, I think you know why you are here. Because you’re dead Janet. Damn it Janet.
Next Saturday all will be revealed in the two hour series finale. I suspect NBC was hoping for a mega-type hit as Lost was for ABC. Alas, the numbers are way down, Internet buzz barely visible, and water cooler banter non-existent. Let us hope next Saturday brings us some nice surprises.
LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
Fox said
Well the first season of lost started the same way.. Hold on to your seats because this show is taking off, and the Grassy Knoll Institute will be the first ones on the scene. LOGTK can you admit now that you are hooked?????
LOTGK said
Hello Fox. Yes, as I was one of the very first to post an update on ABC Lost and what my theory was, I am also one of the first to do the same with Persons Unknown. Am I hooked. No, not really.
EXAMPLE: When Lost was on, I would actually arrange my schedule to allow time to be home and watch the show and post my update afterward. I do believe I missed only one live airing and that was unavoidable, I was on my way back from Las Vegas. With Persons Unknown, I watched the first couple of episodes live, but the rest I taped on mu DVR. I am not hooked on this show.
The Tool said
This is a Lost wannabe show. Thank God its over next week. Here’s a flash, who cares if they’re dead.
LOTGK said
I feel the same that it is a Lost wannabe. There will be many of these type programs in the near future hoping for a lightning strike. Alas, Persons Unknown was merely a heavy rain.
Lost Fan said
As a Lost fan, I find Persons Unknown a moderate success. It has held my interest but unlike Lost, I am not out searching for clues and answers on blogs and websites. I’ll wait for the big reveal next Saturday.
Fox said
It is way to early to be judged. The saturday night time slot sucks. Something needs to be done about that.
Gumby said
Fox, this Saturday is the series finale. There will be no more episodes. Not for the season, but the series.
LOTGK said
Yes, what he said.
LOTGK said
Fox, alas, Saturday will be the last airing in any time slot.
LOTGK said
Excellent point Lost Fan. Two weeks after Lost aired, there were thousands of web sites dedicated to Lost. Persons Unknown, not so much. It is a good show, and if I didn’t just invest 6 years in Lost, I might have a different opinion, but I do not.
Gumby said
When Tori got offed, it was the end for me. No hot babe means low ratings. yea, I’d bang Janet, but Tori was the babe on the show.
LOTGK said
You may be on to something there Gumby.
Fox said
Tori will be back.. I here she comes back as a prostitute.
LOTGK said
I’m betting Bill is first in line.
Fox said
Obviously dead people can come back to the town. So the VR idea is the front runner. I truly believe that this show was written to satisfy the Grassy Knoll Institute’s INCORRECT lost prediction. I think NBC has been on this site, and felt bad that LOGTK stuck to his theory for so long, so they wrote a show that it would fit.
Gumby said
Now don’t go pumping up his ego Fox. He was wrong before, and he’ll be wrong again.
LOTGK said
And one day Gumby, you may be right once.
LOTGK said
Unless they are already dead. Just like in Lost.
Fox said
Hey Will Smith’s wife doesn’t look so bad on the show, I am looking for a three way with Jada, Janet, and the editor of the magazine.
Gumby said
Erika is not Jada Pinket. Its the chick from Battlestar Galactica. Not Will Smiths wife.
Fox said
Why must you always doubt me..
LOTGK said
He rides an orange horse. Pay no attention to him.
LOTGK said
That’s not Jada.
Fox said
Oh that’s part of the surprise.. It is Jada..
LOTGK said
Now that would be a trick.

New reader
I also find Persons Unknown quite ‘meh’, but I still tune in because I can’t help but wonder what the fuck is going on. Anyways, just thought I’d let you know that episode 11 was posted on hulu before 10 even aired and it’s still there. I’m not sure if it’s part of the finale, but I read a few comments on how it’s an online episode. Who knows.. meh.
LOTGK said
Yes, Jenn, you can find my critique and update on episode 11 here.
Persons Unknown Secret Episode 11
Valdunagan said
I admit I am not a fan of this show. The purgatory theory is Lost’s story. They can’t rip them off like that. I say space ships.
LOTGK said
Space ships would be cool. Sort of like Star Trek and their Hollo Deck or whatever it was.
