>>2) Theres a STORNG indication that the air "event", the decent, and the crash MAY have a supernatural or "controled" aspect to it.<<

Ok, that may be where we have a disconnect. At that point, I'm afriad I sort of lose interest. Not trying to dictate anyone else's interest, if you're into that, fine, but I sort of thought I would be seeing something about survival, not LOTR.

That's pretty much the same reason I started to get off the bus as soon as the "mysterious" BIG THING tromped down some trees. Whatever it turns out to be, it really seems that putting it on a South Pacific island is going to involve a real stretch. Same with the polar bear. Regardless of what turns the plot takes, when you've just shot a polar bear on a tropical island, you're no longer discussing realistic survival scenarios. When it becomes fantasy, as it seemed to pretty early, I personally lose interest.

>>Of course, everything will be explained as the season(s) progress<<

Actually, contradicting that was sort of my point in my last post on the subject. Maybe, but... I'd be willing to bet at least a few bucks that several of the most significant "unexplained" points will remain unexplained, probably until the series is cancelled. There's just no compelling reason for the writers to resolve much of anything so long as the audience is still stringing along hoping they will in the next episode.

Since I don't really intend to watch it anymore myself, I don't expect to comment on it further. I'll be interested to read here whether anything really gets resolved.
