Soonerz Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I was just wondering what you think about the show. I didn't get to see the pilot and while I think I'm caught up I might be a little behind. What is up with the Asian couple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I love the series so far. Last night's show has me wanting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonerz Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Yeah, I'm hooked after just one show. They are going to broadcast both episodes again on Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy35 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I watched the last half an hour last night and it seemed pretty cool. It will be on Saturday for 2 hours at 8pm. I am going to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 It was phenominal. The writing is great. The acting is spot on. Everything about it is done great. So many subplots. So many red herrings. It's the best show on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm definitely hooked. I was pretty shocked about Kate last night, I'm curious what Jack is going to do now that he knows and what she did too. I definitely recommend to anyone reading this to check it out Saturday night at 8 on ABC. Or at least TIVO it if you're out pre-gaming for the Browns game. They haven't shown much about the story with the Asian couple yet. Obviously the guy is extremely traditional/conservative. It seems that maybe they have something to hide, just as it looks like everyone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 So far, it is a great show. I just hope that the writing stays as good as it currently is. The Asian couple hasn't really been exposed yet. In the first episode, the husband told his wife to stay with him at all times and not to worry about the others. He said they had to just take care of themselves. I was kinda confused about this when he started giving everyone the fish last night. I'm sure it will develop further episode by episode.

Zen-like Todd Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 ...edit... didnt read, someone else already posted it. Sorry. In any event, its not bad, its keeping my attention for the moment. I still don't see how they are going to keep it going in the long term though. But I'm willing to wait and see.

Kilmer17 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 That's one of the things that makes it so good. They arent moving full steam ahead into character development. They are taking their time and letting the audience draw conclusions, and Im sure will change them as they go. IE- Did anyone expect Kate to be the criminal? And what do you think she did? And what was the secret the old guy told the kid? And does anyone else think that the guy with the gun last night wasnt on the plane to begin with?

Soonerz Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I agree with you Kilmer. From what I have seen, I really like the pace they are using for the character arc. I'm ready for the next episode!!! Hook me up! (It's like legalized crack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I like it, but I can easily see myself not watching in a month or so. It's more like a movie/mini series than a long term show. I don't see how they are going to keep my attention for more than two more episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I watched it last night because Tom Shales had praised the pilot episode. I was very impressed. The hour seemed to fly by which is how I know that a show is good. I think I will try and catch the pilot on Saturday, but the development was done so slowely that I don't feel that i have missed too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the secret though. The guy with the gun? The Iraqi guy said the white guy with the gun was on the plane with a jacket over his hands, and that's why he thought he was the criminal.

luckydevil Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 another great episode definitely hooked As far location goes Bermuda triangle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonerz Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I was asking about the Asian couple too. Fatty P & Voltaire provided some info. They seem to be so far removed from the rest of the characters. They could turn into something really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Recorded Smallville and americas top model and watched Lost Will record it on saturday nice plot twist and like i said last week its up there with the USA mini series the 4400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudry Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Originally posted by Kilmer17 And does anyone else think that the guy with the gun last night wasnt on the plane to begin with? Well, damnit, I guess I will now. I thought the Iraqi guy recognized him from the plane, though. Originally posted by luckydevil another great episode definitely hooked As far location goes Bermuda triangle? Fraid not, I'll bet when they finally check the other side of the island they will find the Harlem Globetrotters waiting for them. I hope they can figure out a way to beat the robots in basketball, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 The problem with this show is how are you going to be able to make it more then one season?? If it was like a miniseries I can see it working, but not a normal show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I watched the Apprentice and Wife Swap. Forgot all about this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBFan Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 As long as it's in some sort of "real time", they shouldn't have too much trouble making it last. I think the producers have probably thought about this...they did offer up the mayday recording that had been on a loop for 16+ years. Perhaps the Asian fellow was offering up some of that poisonous blowfish to the other survivors??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 They showed him pulling sea urchins out of the water. I agre though, it has to be a slowtime show. They cant jump weeks ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINtil8tin Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 That Asian guy has been on ER the last couple years. He played a psychiatrist. Anyone else catch that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I think the Asian guy also played a CTU operative in 24 over the past 2 seasons (didn't see the first season, so not sure if he was in that one too). Anyone who remembers the last season, he looks just like the guy Tony Almaida called off the back entrance to let the British guy get away.
