This was the worst piece of crap I have seen for a long time. At first, I was really disappointed, then amused, and then laughing my head off!! Not even a shred of reality here folks.

I'm actually really glad that TV is now crap. I'm no longer a slave to it. I can have a life now!

Unfortunately, this life has now been soaked up by yakking on useless forums.

im so glad i wasnt the only one who laughed at this piece of garbage.

you cant watch a show like that with your mom or gf and mock it without them calling you mean and heartless to their "plight".

Well, you're certainly right about the quality- there hasn't been anything decent on since they cancelled Firefly (which is coming back as a movie anyway).

I'm getting a lot more reading done, all to the good... unless you're a network, I guess.

And did you see what they did in FireFly???
They had to wrap a gun in a spacesuit so that it would have oxygen to fire(they were in space at the time...) <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Where do the writers think guns get their oxygen from anyway??? Little vents??? WTF???

Did they? Somehow I missed that- or assumed it was for some other reason... or maybe I'm blocking it out.

After 30 years of vacuum ships with rudders and retractable landing gear, space warships painted white, "targeting computers" that can't hit another ship in plain sight about 10 ship-lengths away, and ships that meet in space ALWAYS sharing a "local vertical" for no apparant reason, I guess I'm getting numb to it.

"The plane has a black box, they know exactly where we are at" No dear, that black box doesn' actually provide EPIRB capabilities. Apparently they writers didn't research that too well. The premise of the gun is that there is a U.S. Marshall on board with a prisoner. Of course, it's not the ahole with the group in the jungle, its the pretty, hot , nice woman. Turns out she's probably some mass murder.

Anyway, lots of improbabilities. Turns out the "thing in the jungle" is a Polar Bear. I have to see a few episodes to see how stupid this is, or what the explanation is. Plus, that weird guy is apparently really into knives, and sitting in the rain, or playing backgammon and doing nothing to help anyone else. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You would think a serious like this would be good to educate the public, without them ever really knowing they're being educated.

Actually, they made it clear (in the dialog) that the polar bear was not Godzilla from episode 1.

I know they'll let some law enforcement officers on planes with some firearms. At one time, the 44 Special was the rule, designed as it was not to puncture a fuselage. So... I don't know, but I have to wonder... do they now let a law enforcement officer on board with a handgun capable of stopping a polar bear? Whatever it was, it looked almost big enough, despite the guy's story that he took it from the officer's ANKLE holster. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've lost track, are we on day two or day three? No clue as to how people are spending the night, or if anyone is thinking about survival issues other than the manly Adam Sandler clone and the lady- who, it turns out, probably doesn't really want to be "rescued".

Speaking of the lady, did anyone else catch the part where guys are shouting and fighting, ignoring everything else, until she shouts "STOP!", and they all do? How well we seem to be trained. I've lost count of the dynamic, active and admirable female leads in the past 20 years (sort of starting with "Ripley" in Alien), which I don't really mind, but I could count the truly dynamic and admirable male leads in the same period on one hand. If something needs to get done competently in a screenplot these days, they genearlly choose a woman to do it. Male roles are mostly evil, inept or both... and when, rarely, the script does require a macho male, they generally pick an actor so patently wimpy for the role that it just seems ridiculous. John Wayne need not apply. Maybe Russel Crowe, once in awhile...

So, in keeping with the PC trend, whatever feeble explanation is behind Mr. Big tromping through the trees AND the polar bear, I'm betting it's the result of an evil corporation doing evil things on an island so remote that the good governments of the world won't know about it to stop them... we could write this stuff...

Presumed Lost:

About that U.S. Marshall that was on board with a handgun; could be he was disguised as an aging hippie wearing bell bottoms. You could get a really big gun in an ankle holster with those kinds of pants, but he would have to walk around like Festus from "Gunsmoke". If the agent was a female and built like Dolly Parton, you could hide a big gun in a bra (Yes, they do make them for those of you that don't know.) holster.

See, I'm already writing better than they are.

And it's not an evil corporation, it's an evil President cloning dinosaurs to smell out weapons of mass destruction, then when they screw up, he can blame it on inferior genetics.

I should be getting paid for this post, who owns that TV program.
