Fezmid Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I actually called that one. If you notice, and I did by watching the first show twice, when she first shows up on camera she is rubbing her wrist. I love all the little nuances in this show. 50511[/snapback] I really like this show, although I think they'll be hardpressed to extend it past a season... My wife called it as well, and she's usually not good at noticing these things. I didn't notice the wrist rubbing, maybe she did not sure. I'm actually enjoying "Veronica Mars" as well; I had no interest in it, but my wife TiVo'd it anyway. I watched the first episode and was hooked. The main character has a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" vibe; at times, she even looks similar to Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, I think it's another show that can't make it past a season or two based on the premise. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 1. I think that they inend to spend a lot of time on each character. First episode it was the doc, 2nd was the chic. Next the old guy. 2. So far I have been interested. 3. Everyone was good looking, because all wealthy people are attractive, and only wealthy people fly. 4. You didn't see him with the pregnant woman. 5. They get to it. 6. No I have it paused on Tivo right now, but a few things about this show.. 1) Is this a mini series? I cant imagine them making this into a real show with more than 5 shows or so (much less more than a whole season) 2) It is very entertaining 3) Apparently, when a plane crashes, all people that are average looking or less die. Only beautiful people will live 4) I want to B word slap that chinese guy 5) Why no looting? Why arnt they going through bags to find things that could be of use? 6) Am i the only one watching? 50226[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 My guess is that the island is either the base for aliens that are observing Earth and performing experiments on animals from around the world (the polar bear) to see how they react in new enviroments, and the unseen creature is how they "clean up" escaped animals or mistakes, or it's like the Island of Dr. Moreau with some crazy scientist performing experiments, or they went through some time travel.

gantrules Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 This show absolutely rocks. It leaves you thinking afterwards....is there any show on TV that does this now? I also love how they are showing the c-r-a-s-h from the different perspectives of each character. Brilliant, rather than just jumping in and seeing it all at one. The only one that did it for me was the X-Files.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I Tivo'd it last night b/c my wife had a "Simply Tasteful" or "Tastefully Simple" couples party. It tooke me 38 minutes to watch the entire show. Talk about commercial overload. Also, the intro was like five minutes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said something about the dog (why is there a golden retriever on a desert island) being an alien tracker, if I remember correctly.

gantrules Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 But, last night the little boy was looking for his dog...which happened to also be a lab. It's really a great show..... The first two episodes are going to be on Saturday back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm really into this show. It's from the creator of "Alias", so it should be a good ride. I do agree that this show can not have a long life, but i'm sure that the writers have already thought this out, so they must have plans in order to make this show last for a few seasons. Look at "24", a lot of people said that show was a one season shot, and it's going to be in it's 4th season this year. Stevestojan, they have to have beautiful people on the show so they can get the stoner crowd to watch. Example: "WHOAH DUDE, SHE'S HOT!" "I'm gonna watch this show!" J.J. Abrams has done a great job in making "Alias" entertaining, no matter how ridiculous it gets. I'm sure he can do the same with this show. I am usually good with figuring out twists, but I did not see "the chick" being the prisoner. Nice twist. I hope that the show lasts. I need new shows since NBC cancelled "Boomtown" :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: and WB prematurely cancelled "Angel" :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Give me good writing and fiction any day over all this reality garbage.

Another good drama is "Without a Trace", which just keeps getting better. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 My prediction for the last episode of the series: The flight attendant shakes the shoulder of the doctor and says, "Sir, are you alright? We're about to land, and you looked like you were having a bad dream." A Bobby Ewing moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I agree that this plane definitely has more than it's fair share of good looking women. I'm never on flights with women like that. I knew about the polar bear last week, I read a spoiler site. There is something going on with the comic book. That little kid was reading it and it had a polar bear on one of the pages. This is definitely going to turn into a sci-fi show. For those wondering about the longevity of the show- if the ratings hold, they want this to go on indefinitely. It reminds me of the kinds of shows that ABC put on Saturday nights when I was little. Fantasy Island etc. One question- if the show goes on for a while, isn't the fat kid going to have to start to slim down? How will they pull that off? -------------------------- Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they filmed the episodes in reverse order, so he started out skinny and they fattened him up as the filming went on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Why would you check out a spoiler sight? Doesn't that ruin the reason for watching the show? It's kind of like knowing the score of a football game before watching it. I'm begging you...if you know more that is going to happen on the show please don't put it on here. --- on another note, I loved Boomtown....and of course it got cancelled. It was way to good to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
