Lost

[John Crichton]

That was one awesome hour of TV. Kicked me right in the junk and kept on coming.

Of course, being a fan of Abrams past shows it's no surprise that I would like this one. I'm really looking forward to watching the full pilot to compare it to one of the best pilots ever (Alias). This is really the only new show of the fall season that I was looking forward to and it delivered. Big time.

The show has a "The Stand" feel to it that I think I read an article about a little while back. Next week can't get here soon enough.

Hi!

The shaky camera also annoyed me!!! Specially as they were climbing to the cockpit!

I'm not sure I like the whole dinosaur/whatever-that-might-be hiding in the jungle, but I'll wait and see.

Anyone else had flash-backs from LotR when the camera showed Dominic Monaghan and the other two characters walking from left to right through the grass? (okay, probably just me...)

There are certainly enough characters (48?) on the island to keep things interesting (unless they are meant as monster-fodder?).

Besides the cliché "help me, we're being chased by a horrible monster and my foot is stuck", I enjoyed the show and will be watching it next week.

OK you guys win. I wasn't going to watch the show. Now I will give a shot.

I missed the first 15 minutes (was playing KOTOR on the Xbox and didn't check the clock) but enjoyed the rest. The monster is pretty creepy...as I imagine an invisible monster would be.

I was disappointed that the

pilot got killed, however, I really like that guy from Alias.

Oh well, I still thought it was good.

The guy pulling the Marlon Brando impression (with the orange in his mouth)...did he show any mental problems in the first 15 minutes or was that just totally random? And is it just me, or does that actor lend the show a definite conspiracy factor simply because of his roles on both the X-Files and Millenium? That's what I thought anyways.

By the way, when does Alias start?

I watched a few minutes, in between Smallville commercials. It's interesting, but if they want me they're going to have to put it on another night or timeslot. Wednesdays it's butting with my Smallville, and I'm still digging it.

He didn't have any lines at all in the episode - the only scene with him you might have missed is him sitting off by himself, looking out at the ocean. He seems just detached - it could be stress induced, it could be he's nuts. Hard to say at this point.

January 2005.

Vincent the dog belonged to the man and his son, the kid who correctly spelled "bodies." It's definitely not acting normal, though.

Based on the preview for next week, there's

definitely intelligent life on the island.

That ought to make things a lot more interesting.

I'm really curious how long they can keep up the big-ass unseen monster without it getting annoying. Probably not too long. Whatever that thing was, it didn't especially eat that one guy, just sort of gummed him and spit him out with no skin.

I thought the plane flashbacks were scary as hell. Very nicely done.

While "Lost" is still a looooooooooooooo(...)oooooooong way from airing down here, from what I've heard of the series, I think stevelabny has the most interesting take on it...

Ssleesstaaaaaaaaks!

All your worries will wash away if you just join the cult: get a TiVo.

God I love that thing.
