I know this is a little late but I just wanted to see what you guys thought of Lost on Wednesday. I watched it and thought it was great! maybe a few too many characters but something tells me that is going to change soon, if you know what i mean, lol ^_^

What do you think is on the island? My mom thinks its some kind of government experiment gone wrong and my friend thinks its the dog. She's just kidding... at least I think she is. *shrugs*

Is anyone else going to stick around to watch it with me? I hope so! This looks to be a promising show! But does anyone think there will be a second season? To me, anyway, it looks like it can only be one season long.

For anyone whoe would like to get into it, Lost comes on at 8:00 pm on Wednesday on ABC. Check it out if you can!

ABC is also going to repeat the first two hours next Saturday, October 2, at 8PM Eastern/Pacific, 7PM Central/Mountain time. They should have run them together last Wednesday, but in their infinite wisdom reminiscent of the brilliance of FOX, they chose instead to follow the first hour with a two-hour premiere of the new "Batchelor," which proved to be a bad decision as it was beaten in its timeslot.

As to what the "creature" is, my guess it is not a creature at all, at least not any animal type such as a dino or giant Kong-like ape, which I have heard speculation on.

I think it is the island itself.

I agree. I hated that we have to wait till next week just to see the end of the pilot. The Bachelor looks so stupid. I hated how they tried to make it look interesting by saying "This time, there will be two bachelors." WHO CARES!

The island being the "thing", the "creature", that is an interesting point. It might be hard for an island to kill them, but it might make sense.

I cant wait to see what happens next! ^_^

there was another thread:

but yours is in the right place...

I will give it another chance when the play the second half of the 2 hour pilot, but so far I'm unimpressed.

I think some one wrote on the other thread that they've (somehow - not explained) seen the whole two hour pilot already and most of what makes it good is in the second half. So I'm also reserving judgment until after I've seen the rest of it.

Since I don't get ABC at all, I downloaded to see what the buzz was all about - and I hadn't realized until just now that what I saw is twice as much as what everyone who watched on TV saw.

That said, I have to agree that some twists in the second half make it much more interesting.

For me, I'm willing to offer some suspension of disbelief to see where they're going to take these characters and what the twists are. I can see it going either way, honestly - the characters have a tendency toward stereotypical. But that can be made to work. The twists could be really interesting - or really formulaic.

There are, however, one or two characters who have really drawn me in (mostly 'supporting' types), and I'm crossing my fingers that the mysteries surrounding everyone and the island in general end up living up to what they could be.

So my advice is definitely to watch the second part, and then probably another week or two, and then judge. The bones of a really fun show are here, if they keep it going in the right direction.

I wouldn't call the 1-hour pilot "great," but for TV, it was pretty good. B-, B tops.

Odds are in favor there's a huge quality drop for episode #2. It happens with every good pilot I've ever seen. It even happened with Firefly... Train Job was so/so and it took a few episodes to get back. For J.J. Abrams, I'm not sure I have the patience.

I'm not sure Train Job is a good example of this, given the fact that it was written over a weekend and was forced to serve as the pilot (including a heck of a lot of exposition) for a very complicated series. The time crunch alone is a major issue.

Not that I'm neccessarily disagreeing with your logic - I can't say I've thought about it enough - just with your example. ;)
