Last Resort won't be Lost, but the Lost pilot was the last one I remember watching where you felt like you were shot out of a cannon, with the story immediately going 70 mph, and where every aspect seemed solid - writing wasn't full of cliches and hokey lines; characters were well defined, relatively deep, and well acted; and there seemed like there's a fleshed out world and premise underlying the story that wasn't held together by duct tape and sleight of hand. You've got tension within the crew, between the crew and the SEALS, between the military and the islanders, and with, and within, the government. It was all fantastical, but I never felt like I had to turn off my brain completely to stay in the story.
