Anyone see the preview for the new show LOST! on ABC(?) I'm thinking I might like this new show. Same creator as Alias, what looks to be a decent cast, I'm excited.

I'm mildly interested.

I didn't know what you were talking about- I had not heard of it so I looked it up.
Looks pretty interesting and I don't think Wednesdays at 8pm competes with anything else... well except going to the gym, but I'll get over that ...so I think i will give it a shot.
For those who, like me, have not seen previews go here http://abc.go.com/primetime/schedule/2004-05/lost.html

series premiere is tonight...

I watched. I reserve judgment until I see a few more episodes. It didn't suck, but I'm concerned about the potential of explaination for certain plot elements.

i hear ya, Arista...

SPOILER-ish BELOW:

the story has a Steven King-ish feel to me, which is both good and bad IMO...i'm gonna be p.o.'ed if things that go bump in the jungle get explained by some hocus pocus & not something more concrete. the the characters, the actors who play them, and the way the plot is unfolding thus far is intriguing enough to keep me watching for a few more eps...

It has been done.

And Gabby's lil sister seems to think it's King Kong lurking in them thar jungles. I blame that idea completely on the NyQuil.

i'm afraid it's either either King Kong or The Iron Giant... le keeps saying it's the Tommyknockers...

I hadn't even thought about the Tommyknockers! But if it were the tommyknockers, wouldn't the jungle be disappearing as opposed to rumbling.

Ooh... rumble in the jungle... maybe it's Muhammed Ali! "I'm a bad man!"

yeah I had visions of King Kong while under the influence of heavy duty cold medication.

What's up with the yellow labrador ?

Now I need to keep watching to find out.

What does Casey think?

Casey wondered if one of her long lost litter mates had perhaps finally hit the big time and got a role on a network show.
Chance wanted to hump the tv screen. of course.

LOL

Whew - I need that laugh.

Okay, I am officially hooked.

Anyone else??

Line and sinker! I'm hooked and I'm frustrated, I want more.

I'm loving the characters. Hurley is just adorable and I don't care what Kate has done, I like her! I am still blown away by the special FX and I am damn thankful I now have DVR, it rocks!

Yes.

And unlike some people, I wanna know what Kate did! It's killing me!

Also, Locke is creepy.

Word.
I heart my TiVo.

okay...i missed the second ep (i saw 1 & 3...). someone please fill me in. i got all the stuff about the transmitter or whatever, but what's this i hear about a polar bear????

i'm not sure what i think about Locke. very, very intersting. it still feels extremely Steven King-ish to me...

Things we learned in episode 2:

Charlie is a hobbit heroin addict

Saiad (sp?) was in the republican guard during the gulf war and knows about transceivers and stuff

The guy with the chest shrapnel was the federal agent (or maybe bounty hunter ) transporting Kate back to the U.S. cause she is wanted.

The angsty blond girl and the young guy who she is mean to are brother and sister.

The little boy and his father just sorta met because he previously lived in Australia with his mom who recently died.

On the expedition to higher ground to get the tranceiver working ,a small group of passengers (Kate, brother and sis, Saiaid (sp?), the guy who was a bad shot in ep 3 and maybe Charlie) get chased by something in the jungle. It's "something" but it's not *the* something that killed the pilot. It's a smaller "something". After a few shots are fired by the guy who is a bad shot we learn that it is a polar bear. The group briefly wonders what the hell a polar bear is doing on a tropical island. The viewers wonder it too, but not just briefly.

Ummm, I think that it is. I am sure that you figured out the rest from this week's ep.

thanx! that pretty much fills in the blanks...

curiouser & curiouser...

i'll be interested to see Dr. Jack's flashbacks eventually & get some back story on him. i'm liking everything about this show, but i'm still worried about "the monster" and that what it is is going to turn out to be disapponting. but i'm still enjoying the heck out of the ride.

what do y'all think about Locke's ability to walk now?????

Interesting little twist. I suppose it is medically possible for him to regain his walking ability depending on the origins of his paralysis, but I think he'd have a bit of muscle atrophy and wouldn't have exactly run around right after the crash. I however am working hard to suspend disbelief when it comes to this show. Obviously. On a side note: props to Arista who figured the Locke thing out before the end of the teaser and phoned me with her hypothesis during the opening credit. Which, btw, we decided was cool But I digress...

Now here's what i want to know...

Do you think that Locke killed the boar or do you think that the monster/dinosaur/iron giant/aboninable snowman/king kong gave it to him?
