I don't think I could ever recall any new series on T.V. having as strong of a start. Strong characters, really cool crash survival scene, mysterious killer in the woods .

This might be the sleeper hit of the season

I recorded it - just going to settle into watch it now. I believe JJ Abrams did this show (guy who makes Alias and made Felicity)...so it should be good.

Man...Felicity was hot.

Sorry - I digress.

Doh, that's the only show I wanted to follow this year and I totally forgot about the first episode. Glad to hear that it's looking good though...

I enjoyed the first episode. It's been getting good reviews from critics, not that I care much(I hate critics), but I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Wow, 1st episode blew me away. It more like a movie than a tv show it seems, I wonder how long they can keep that up. Anyways, very mysterious show. Alot of questions still need answering, i'll be tuned in next wednesday that's for sure.

Coolest scene

Aircrash survivor wandering around in shock gets sucked into a jet intake

None that I heard. I think you'd still be ok to jump into the 2nd episode. Not very much at all was given away in the premiere. Still lots of questions.

I wonder if they turn into savages and kill each other.

Did they find the conch yet?

Oh please let it be a Sasquatch!

I would guess some sort of cannibalistic man that was stranded there a long time ago like maybe childhood. Rubin Studdard could play the cannibal!

It was an awsome show I thought. Who's the baddie? You can tell the whole terrorist in the plane angle is going to be hit on and that generic middle eastern looking guy will help them explore prejudism and racial profiling. But there does look to be a nasty red neck white guy who some how gets a gun. My money on the real bad guy is the huge t rex running around

My guess is since the previews show them finding a set of handcuffs. One of them is a convicted killer, and the next episode revolves around finding out who it is.

Did anyone notice that they have a lot of people running around with no purpose. they might as well be wearing red shirts.

I'm guessing that the creature is some kind of really tiny weasel with a big voice

That scene probably would have got me laughing because of the black humour of the situation. Just when you think you've made it your luck runs out. At least it would only hurt for a millisecond...
