review

started watching the new tv sensation "lost".
stupidly i started watching it at a time when all sensible people are fast asleep and deep in dreams. me i was looking at the clock and thinking stay awake and get into work early.
so first disc is in - 4 episodes. the pilot is entertaining. the characters are uniformly central casting types. square jawed hero and anti-hero to appeal to the ladies, a bit of an anti-establishment musician with a british accent - he's a bit rough but still loveable. the women are pretty, none seem to have problems with hair, weight or skin.... there is one fat bloke, an old bloke, a smattering of ethnic types and a bunch of people who will be in the background until it is their time to push the story forward (or die).
so far the premise is interesting: plan mysteriously crashes onto a mysterious island that has lots of mysteries on it. even the survivors carry the air of mysterious about them and they all seem to have secrets.
the first episode successfully sets up the fact that not all is right in what looks like paradise. there are mysterious sounds in the jungle. the second episode reveals more and hints at some of the secrets of the cast.
so far i am enjoying it.

but you said there were 4 episodes on the disc.
mmm so i did.

ok i admit it i fell asleep during episode 3, woke up for the ending of it and the start of 4, and nodded off again.
so those two will be for tonight....

currently still knackered and i was late for work.

Lost bores me silly, yet I still watch it. What does that say about me. I figure once they're done with everyone's 'back story' then what next...hour upon hour of people being chased by invisible things...like in Predator?

Battlestar Galactica has done a clever thing - show the whole season up until the last episode, which they leave until January. Bastards.

not sure i think it is going to be the best thing i have ever watched. but then jj is responsible for alias - sexy girl beating people up (perfect tv..)

was impressed that season 2 was trailered on airamerica radio.

i am still waiting for the last few years of nypd blue to be shown on tv - now that was the best thing on tv, well aside from teletubbies and sunset beach.
