I'm going to probably get flamed for this (especially cause of low post count), but I actually liked it. I think you guys are expecting too much from it. A good survival show probably wouldn't last more than a couple of episodes. The great-unwashed masses just wouldn't except it.

"Lost" has the potential of being a really fun show, IMHO. 'Course I like zombie movies too <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. The second episode does seem to indicate that some organization has been doing experiments on the island, so who knows what they might find. I see this as more of a Buffy/Angel type show with a survival twist, as opposed to a pure survival show. I think they'll probably through in some survival tidbits here and there. As long as they don't get it too terribly wrong, I won&#8217;t complain. Remember that this is a TV show on one of the Big Three. Don't expect too much.

ki4buc, I had a totally different take on the black box thing. Too me it seems that they have been setting up that character as the totally useless bit of fluff. IMO, the fact that she thought a black box sends out a distress signal, was just another way of showing us that she really isn't all that connected to reality. Of course, I could be worn and you could be right about the writers just being incompetent.
