Lost

[Crothian]

Loud noises, a bit of a jerky camera at times, and little set up. I'm not sure what to make of it as it was a lot of smoke but litle substance. The creature that knocks down trees, stays hidden but is larger then the front of a plane, and for some reason refuses to come on a beach or eat its kills. It just didn't grab me that much and seemed like it was intentionally showing little just to drag it out. :\

I dug it. It's already created a lot of suspense, even besides the dinosaur/monster/whatever it is that's in the jungle. I got the distinct impression that a lot of things were happening on the plane before it crashed, and will probably be laid out for us as the show progresses. It did a good job introducing the various characters for such a large ensemble cast. I think I'm hooked.

It did create a lot of suspense, and I'll tune in next week. It was the first half of a two part opener and really felt like it. I just wanted a little more.

I really liked it. The network executives should be drawn and quartered for cutting the 2-hour episode into 2 weeks, though, just so we can see "The Bachelor." Bleck.

Lots of good plot setup. A fat gamer type who's kind, and helpful, and not necessarily there for comic relief. In fact, most of the people felt like just that - people - which is a nice change from most shows.

 

[Crothian]

That is a good point about the people. It was not a collection of cliches, and that does speak well for the show.

The shaky camera has to go.
And this definitely felt liek 1/2 a pilot as some characters were more fleshed out than others.
I'm telling you...there's not just dinosaurs...there's Sleestaks too.
Just wait.
With what little background we have, the characters seem pretty straight forward and their "secrets" are probably pretty obvious.
Except for which one if behind the crash.

I enjoyed it. I'll tune in next week.

But what's up with the dog? Was it on the airplane too? They focused on the pooch too much for it to be irrelevant.

What's a Sleestaks?

The dog, in an unexpected twist mid season, will be revealed to be the mastermind behind getting the plane to crash on his....yes the dog's personal island. The dog needs to feed his "pets".

Sleestaks were on the old animatronic show Land of the Lost. They were some sort of weird highly-evolved dinosaur/lizardman chupacabras-lookin things.

A Sleestak is a lizardman type creature from the old TV show Land of the Lost. http://www.geocities.com/tharyett/sleestak.html The similarity in titles has led me to fantasize that both dinosaurs and sleestaks live on this island.

I also forgot to mention that I already have a theory about Vincent, the dog. He is acting weird. Just staring at people and stuff. He doesn't look rabid...but he does look odd. The old man with the scarred eye is also acting very strange. When he smiled at Kate, he seemed to have an orange of some sort in his mouth, and by my reasoning, the dog would have been the first to eat any native "food". So my theory is that some of the food on the planet has some sort of cooties that will negatively affect your mind.

Or maybe I'm just insane.
