How infuriating! I’ve just watched the last episode of Lost Season 1, and I feel almost as clueless as before. Definitely got to watch them again now to see if I can pick up on things I missed the first time around, but the biggest questions will remain unanswered until I can see season 2.
To be cryptic for a second, I need the answer: Yes No Game.
Fantastic, gripping telly.
Wahoo! My DVDs of Lost Season 1 arrived today. It might be a bit quiet around these parts for a couple of days…
The first episode of Lost has just finished on Channel 4, and it is shaping up to be quite good.
The story so far:
A plane has crash-landed on a remote island after going off-course on its way to Fiji and hitting turbulence. About 48 of the passengers have survived - but it seems only the good looking ones have been spared death. There’s a doctor called Jack, a bass player from a band called Charlie and a whole lot of other people milling around on the beach waiting for help.
Jack, Charlie and another girl went in search of the plane’s cockpit to see if they could find a radio to signal for help. They found that, plus the captain. However, before they could have much of a chat with him, he was taken off by (we must assume) a gigantic monster which makes weird noises and scares the pants off all the survivors.
The weather on the island seems changable too, one minute bright sunshine, the next torrential rain storms. Does this have anything to do with the other-worldly presence they’ve encountered?
What does the future hold for the ex-passengers? Well, there’s little hope of rescue: since their plane ditched 1000 miles off course, nobody knows where they are.
Expect a lot of drama, probably a few deaths (people have already been blown to pieces, sucked into engines and suffered other miscellaneous misfortune) and by the looks of it some interesting flashbacks.
Lost doesn’t yet have the must-watch-ability of Desperate Housewives, but to be fair we’re only one episode in. It’s an interesting setup, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this develops.
As Channel 4’s summer behemoth Big Brother draws to a close this week, it seems the bosses have another series up their sleeves to attract us advertising friendly viewers.
Lost begins tonight with a two episode special, sandwiched neatly between Big Brother’s surprise eviction (yeah, right, as if the housemates haven’t twigged).
Supposedly Lost is as big as Desperate Housewives in the States. With a lack of quality drama on TV at the moment, it should do well here too.
A plane crash and survival on a deserted island. The first episode is just a few hours away. Will it live up to the hype? I guess I’ll have to watch it.
