7/10
It's getting better

Warning: Spoilers
The info contained in here is only a spoiler if you haven't seen the episode of 2/15. Yes, I agree with most people who said "Alcatraz" started out as so-so, but I think it's getting better. Now that we have another link between two of the characters (one past, one present), it is definitely getting more interesting. I liked "Lost" and the fact that it didn't answer everything in 60 minutes. And I like it that they are doing the same thing with this show. Yes, some shows need to be pulled immediately because they really stink and there is no hope for them getting any better. This is not one. Sometimes story lines need time to be developed and the characters need time to be fleshed out. It's not like reading a two page article in People magazine - this show is like reading a novel - the story and characters are coming to life as time goes on. I love Sam Neill and Jorge Garcia. Don't remember seeing the girl before, but she seems to be getting more comfortable in her character. I hope Fox gives it at least two full seasons to develop a following.
