I guess I like it

Watched the first episode of "Lost" tonight. I think I like it.

I liked the way it started out AFTER the crash - so there's lots of stuff you don't know about the characters yet. I'm already annoyed with some of the ensemble characters though. The pretty girl with the food issues and her too-pretty boyfriend need to get et by something with big teeth. Real soon.

I will give it another try next week.

I think I liked it, too. I have to watch it next week, just to drool over Dominic Monihan. But you're right, girlie, guyie, and lifeguard need to be demon food.

Yeah - me too with the pretty hobbittsess!

Shows you what I know - I thought pretty boy and lifeguard were be the same guy. Obviously the characters made a huge impression on me.

Have to admit, as soon as I saw the pilot, I know he was gonna die. I mean - it's a classic. Rouse just long enough to impart vital information, then die messily to advance the plot.

it lost...

I tried watching it, but somehow I think my version stared Andy Richter as a father of five.

Uh, that's her brother. And the reason I'm watching the show. Sorry!

Then the writers need to be flogged because his character is a nothing and the girl needs to die.

I missed it entirely...

Plan fall down, go boom. Lots of people wandering around. Doctor, wanna-be tough girl, pregnant lady, fat guy, california-dude, has-been musician, black lady, father and son, shocked or retarded old guy, Korean man & woman, self-absorbed blonde and pretty brother, token ethnic guy, etc. Something in woods makes scary noises. Some go look for part of plane to get radio. Find pilot survived, tells them they had broken radio 6 hours before crash so no one knows where they are, then conveniently gets eated by large scary thing. They get radio, but no answer. The end.

What's kind of bizarre is that Dawn and I were watching "Lost," then she was playing the Pitfall game on the XBox... which starts with a plane crash where the plane comes down in multiple sections.

Best description of the show I read on Ain't it Cool: "Of course, the survivor ensemble has 48 people in it, so there are plenty of red-shirts."

Wendy provided an elegant synopsis; what you've missed is character introduction and the element of tension. The first two episodes were originally a two-hour pilot, so if you catch next week's you will probably get the good plot bits.
