After watching the pilot of NBC's new action mystery "The Event," I still have no earthly idea what it's about. And if I dared tell you what happens at the end of the pilot, you would think that I -- and the show's writers -- have been smoking something wacky. Or watching too much "Lost."

"The Event," starring Jason Ritter and Blair Underwood, is NBC trying real hard to be the next "Lost," but also hedging its bet by tossing in elements of "24" and "FlashForward" and "4400" and "V" and "Kidnapped" and, what the heck, maybe even "Heroes."

I think I'm safe calling Scott Patterson's "Luke Danes" a heartthrob. Am I right, ladies?

Fans of "Gilmore Girls" who followed the Luke & Lorelai romance for seven seasons will be sure to tune in to "90210" in early 2010 when Patterson shows up as Liam's biological father. 

"90210's" showrunner Rebecca Sinclair is a former "Gilmore Girls" producer. And a saint. I've never ever watched "90210" but you better believe I'll be tuning in for this. 

The CW show, which airs on Tuesday nights at 8pm, also recently brought in Kelly Lynch to play Ivy's mother and love interest to teacher Ryan Matthews.
