Survivors of a mid-Pacific plane crash have landed on an island of harsh terrain, cruel weather and dark secrets, including a frightful creature that stalks the jungle. Strangers all, even those related by blood, the survivors' pasts — their ethics, religions, politics, and attitudes — threaten to jeopardize the group's ability to endure.






This show has the same director/creator as Alias. It even has the guy who played Kendall. I just wish it wasn't on the same time as Smallville. I'll have to record one.

The guy who plays Weiss is also on this show.

Now, I'm gonna have to go home and take the vcr from the basement and put it in another room with a TV and hook it up to the tv & satellite box. Then set up the vcr and make sure it works....all in the space of about 30 minutes. Gah!

I need TiVo!!!

I thought Weiss was going to be in a different J.J. Abrams show that was going to be a mid-season replacement?

Unless there's someone else out there who looks just like him, I swear to God I've seen him in the teasers for Lost.

Although . . . just because he might be in Lost doesn't mean he'll stay on the show. I know they've mentioned that they'll be losing cast due to the story line (the beastie out there gets people from time to time) . . .

So maybe he's on Lost and this other mid-season replacement show?

Probably. The guy who plays Weiss has been friends with Abrams since kindergarden and has been in everything else he has done.

The FX of the plane breaking up look cool, but otherwise, pass.

I heard Monaghan was gay. That he and Elijah Wood are very...close.

That would explain a lot about the movies...

Just realized, it's not Pippin, it's Merry. My mistake.

And now his character is dead. Talk about a flash-in-the-pan character.

Marhsall, Will, and Holly, on a routine expedition...

I just kept thinking Land of the Lost when I watched bits of it before LAW AND ORDER season-premiered.

Right now I'm really enjoying all the cliff hangers. Something Alias had at the beginning then dropped. I hope they don't end up changing just so they can try to get new viewers.

Yup, I am liking this show. Though it is on at the same time as Smallville as well as a couple of other shows I like so I have been skipping Smallville for now.

Wednesday nights I record lost and smallville. I had to quit watching that 70's show. TBS also has family guy reruns on at the same time. Why can't networks spread the shows out to different nights?

Anyone watch it? Almost nothing exciting happened. We found out about Kate's past which wasn't really anything big or shocking. It was more of a letdown than anything. It almost feels that Abrams realized what a hit the show was and went into "safe mode".

I liked it. No big revelations but lots of character development. Actually like the whole cast & hope nobody gets killed. So who do you think will be the first one killed?:um:

Also notice the promos showing the brother & sister characters running through the forest & it appears the sister is being yanked up straight in the air. Teaser or doomed character?

It was also very creepy that the lost crew had to move off the beach because of weird tide activity sweeping the beach away.

Last nights episode was OK. The part where Boone saw Sawyer in the police station bothered me. I read somewhere that the characters were somehow connected before the flight, and that really bothers me.

Just watched my first episode on Wednesday. I'm hooked.

I've seen Dominic Monaghan in 'Hetty Wainthropp Investigates'. I had forgetten how cute he is when not playing a hobbit.

His character is one of my favorites. Unfortunately you missed the episodes where they had his backstory.

One theory I've heard on other boards about this show is that the island is supposed to represent purgatory. The inhabitants are there to burn off their sins.
Anyone agree with this?

I've heard that before. It sounds good, but how does that explain Walt's powers?

I missed a couple episodes so I don't really understand what his powers are, but from what I understand is that he's some sort of guide to help people into heaven.

Lost is going to be a repeat for the next two weeks. Which is good, because Smallville is new again.

No, because I want to start with the first season, which my friend has on DVD. I was going to watch it after my wisdom tooth surgery.

It is better to start with the first season. I have all the DVD's and watch them all the time.


Anyhow, I missed tonights episode when it first aired. I like how they were trying to find some entertainment. The french woman was interesting and I really hope that the monster she was talking about isn't something to unbelievable.

They are supposed to make an announcement soon about the DVD release. Hopefully it will be soon after the season ends. This is definitely a show I want to watch without interruption.

I found out some info on the DVD:

Quote:

The Lost DVD is coming out in early September. Cocreator Damon Lindelof tells that they have an "amazing amount" of extras planned, including "awesome commentaries," deleted scenes between Locke and Hurley, Sawyer and Charlie and Locke and young Walt; footage of the Boeing 747 being cut up in the Mojave Desert and transported via barge to Hawaii; and a look at what went into making the original polar bear sequence. But here's the best part: Lindelof says he and J.J. Abrams are considering making an original mini-movie that "answers one of the questions we've been asked very frequently about the show but have made no attempt to answer so far. It has something to do with why the plane may have crashed."




So their not going to tell us how the plane crashes in the show?

So once again they bitch out of killing someone.
Other than that is was a good episode. Charlie going psycho and killing that guy was pretty cool.

toninghts episode:

Outlaws
Kate and Sawyer divulge dark secrets to each other while tracking a renegade boar that Sawyer swears is purposely harassing him. Meanwhile, Hurley and Sayid worry that Charlie is losing it after his brush with death, and a shocking, prior connection between Sawyer and Jack is revealed. Robert Patrick ("Terminator 2: Judgment Day," "The X-Files") guest stars.

It was good. The scene at the beginning with Sawyer being a kid was disturbing for me, mainly because the kid looks exactly like my nephew. The drinking game between Kate and Sawyer was great also.
