And here we have it, the grand finale to NBC’s ‘Persons Unknown’ miniseries. Was it worth watching through to the end? Does the mystery deliver all those answers promised in the network promos? Read on to find out. The second part of the finale, ‘Shadows in the Cave’, picks up some indeterminate amount of time...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.12 Recap: “Isn’t It About Time We Take Things Into Our Own Hands?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:00:38 +0000

I realize that I’m fairly delinquent with this, but I figure that – since I’ve covered every other episode of the show’s run – I had better eventually get around to recapping the series finale of ‘Persons Unknown’. Because the finale was a 2-parter comprised of episodes ‘And Then There Was One’ and ‘Shadows in...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.11 Recap: “Don’t Sweat the Details”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:00:40 +0000

For those of us who’ve stuck it out this long, NBC’s limited run miniseries ‘Persons Unknown’ drew to a close with a 2-part finale this past weekend. Those of you following this blog should have also been warned that the network pulled one episode from the schedule and made it available exclusively online. I plan...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.10 Recap: “There Is No Success or Failure Here, Only Results”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:00:34 +0000

We’re in the final stretch for ‘Persons Unknown’ now. The 2-hour series finale airs this weekend. Just remember, even if you’re caught up through this past weekend’s episode, ‘Identity’, you’re still missing one episode that NBC pulled from the schedule and has only made available online. Be sure to check that out before catching the...

‘Persons’ Unaired

Josh Zyber — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:00:06 +0000

Maybe I’m the last viewer out there still watching, and still really digging, ‘Persons Unknown’. It sure feels that way sometimes. If there are any other fans out there, you probably noticed that NBC ran sports programming in its timeslot this past Saturday. The good news is that the show will return with a new...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.09 Recap: Hey Joe, What Do You Know?

Josh Zyber — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:00:22 +0000

In ‘Persons Unknown’ this week, we’re given our most significant look behind the scenes of the conspiracy that brought our group of abductees to the strange little town they can’t leave. The Joe storyline also takes an interesting turn, and the episode ends with a cliffhanger sure to shake things up further in subsequent episodes....

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.08 Recap: “The Way Out Is the Way Through”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:00:17 +0000

In a strange twist, most of the interesting developments in this week’s episode of ‘Persons Unknown’ happen outside the mysterious town. In fact, very little of note in ‘Saved’ happens in town at all. Most of the time is split between Renbe and whatshername the girlfriend investigating the case in South America, and Joe in…...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.07 Recap: Well, That Sure Killed My Appetite for Chinese Food

Josh Zyber — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:00:25 +0000

This week, we’ve officially passed the half-way mark for ‘Persons Unknown’. The show is only scheduled to run for a total of 13 episodes. All of the network promos have promised that the series will have a finite run, and that mysteries will be answered by the end of the summer. I’m not sure exactly...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.06 Recap: Turn Around, Bright Eyes

Josh Zyber — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:00:25 +0000

This past week, NBC bumped ‘Persons Unknown’ out of its usual Monday night timeslot and moved it to the Saturday death slot. That’s probably not a good sign. Its ratings must be pretty bad, even for summer programming on the 4th place network. I just hope that NBC doesn’t pull it off the air in...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.05 Recap: “There Is a Wolf in Me”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:00:45 +0000

Last week’s episode of ‘Persons Unknown’, called ‘Incoming’, gave us a peek behind the curtain at the forces in town watching our band of abductees. Just a little peek, though. The network broadcast also had a very strange and disorienting glitch that left this viewer puzzled as to whether it was an intentional part of...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.04 Recap: “Do You Believe in the Process?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:00:04 +0000

There’s a lot going on in this week’s episode of ‘Persons Unknown’, called ‘Exit One’. Not the least of these developments is that some characters do indeed find an exit out of town. Sort of. Beyond that is an even bigger revelation at the end. This is a terrific episode all-around, and the best of...

‘Persons Unknown’ 1.03 Recap: “Maybe We Should Work Harder Not Escaping”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:00:22 +0000

Strange things are still afoot in the weird little town where the ‘Persons Unknown’ find themselves trapped. I suppose that goes without saying. In last week’s episode, ‘The Way Through’, our band of abductees decide that if they can’t walk or drive out of town, perhaps they can dig a tunnel underneath it. As the...
