OT - The Lost
 

It's a new tv season, and the networks make shows they hope will survive at least until mid-season. One of those shows looks very interesting. It's called The Lost, and is a story about a group of survivors from an airliner crash on a deserted island. Looks promising, and I hope it Lasts for awhile. But it's not a very original idea. About 25-30 years ago, the networks would make tv movies that turned out to be pilots for shows that never materialized. One of those movies happened to be about, guess what, a group of survivors of an airplane crash struggling to survive on a desert island. Probably the only reason I even rememeber that movie was that it starred Lloyd Bridges as the plane's captain. Also, there's mention of a "beast" in the new show. In the movie, there was a boar that terrorized some of the survivors. I just wonder if someone remembered this old flick and wanted to update it to today's standards, or just thought of it on their own. From what little I've read of the series, there was no mention about the comparison of the two.

Yes, such a situation has great potential, but I fear the network will just turn it into another soap opera. I will give it a look, but my expectations are not high.

There's also a www.cityofheroes.com villian group called The Lost.

Point? What point? Where?

Did anybody see this show? As things turned out, I didn't get a chance, but I didn't really expect to. I get the pleasure of watching my son in the evenings, since my wife has not only to watch him, but a whole daycare full of kids during the day. I don't envy her job. Anyway, if anybody did see The Lost, let me know how it turned out. I'm just wondering if it lived up to all the buzz I've been hearing & reading.

Richard and I DVR'd it and I hope we get around to watching it this weekend. I'll let ya know what we thought of it once we do! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Ok, thanks. Looking forward to it.

I tell you, it's hard to catch up on tv shows nowadays. What with me watching my son, the only thing he's interested in is most of the shows on the Disney channels (we got 3 of them). I've seen more Lilo & Stitch and Kim Possible than I'll probably ever see of CSI or whatever other shows are out there. I do get to watch some Fear FActor, but when it comes time to eat whatever disgusting thing they can think of for that particular episode, I got to leave. There's only so much bug eating or raw cow brains stunts I can take.

We liked the show, it definetly lived up to the hype.

Re: OT - The Lost
 

Yeah, we definitely liked it. We both thought it had really great production value. When it started out it looked more like a movie than a TV show. I'll give a little more details of the first episode a little later when I have more time to post.

I like it. It looks like instead of a wild boar, there's a dinosaur roaming the island...

Yeah we thought it was a dinosaur too.
