Lost

[MEG Hal]

Watched it last night...now that I know it was a 2 hr episode split I will watch a few more episodes, I keep thinking Firefly (so giving shows a chance) got screwed by execs so maybe this one did also.

It was for me, a combo of Jurassic Park meets Survivor and I do not know how I feel about that yet.

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

God I love that thing.

We are officially gonna watch Lost and Tivo Smallville...we LOVED that first episode of Lost.

Like PC said, the characters felt like real people, and the mystery has us hooked!

Earned itself a spot on my Tivo's Season Pass List.

Missed the first fifteen minutes, but I'm liking what I see. I wondered why it seemed...abbreviated. I admit, the minute I saw trees falling and the whole assembled group starting in disbelief...I knew it had potential.

I'm guessing two major things are about to happen: the inevitable Lord of the Flies fracturing, and the equally inevitable 'thinning of the herd'. They could take this is in several different directions, and I'm eager to see which ones.

There's an anime series called Infinite Ryvius, which is more like Lord of the Flies meets Gundam , but one of the most interesting concepts is that of the power of the SINGLE GUN. Namely, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king...and it looks like that they'll deal with that next week. Very interesting.

Did anyone else stop to wonder why that monster or whatever was knocking down all the trees as it moved? Was it a 'Welcome to the Beach" type thing ... or does it always do that?

'Cause if it does ... why are there still trees standing?

'Cause if it does ... why are there still trees standing?

Ha! That was exactly my thought. But then, I try to turn off that little voice in my head when I am otherwise enjoying a show -- I don't want that voice to ruin it for me.

My thought was "Well, it sure isn't very slealthy, how does it catch prey?"

Okay, I just caught part 2. Hot damn. I do wish that they didn't brake the eps up because they work better as a whole. However, they still work apart. The nature of the show and the timeline lends itself well to breaking the story up into 45 minute segments. It works either way. This is another series that will really benefit from the DVD format when all is said and done. The "tune in next week" factor is also very high.

I refuse to give any spoilers but lets say there are no more answers given about what the heck is going on but we do learn some really interesting things about characters focused on in the first ep. My fave - Kate. You'll see why.

Because it is a scavenger?

Dead prey doesnt spook easily.

Or, if it were produced on the Internet, it would be called:



"Loost"
