LOST

Does anyone else watch this show? I'm a big fan of it. It's interesting and well-written. I'm addicted now.

I have to admit that when I heard what the storyline was [people stranded on mysterious island after surviving plane crash], I thought they could never make a series based on that and it wouldn't last. Hmm, one more reason why I'm not a tv producer.

How long did Gilligan's Island last as a series of castaways stranded on a mysterious island?




I've not seen Lost, but the promos seemed to show it having a bit more "suspense" than Gilligan's Island.

My girlfriend loves the show. She says it's kind of like watching a Steven King mini series.

Saw them filming at He'eia kea 2 weeks ago.

I don't watch much tv, but this is a show I make sure to watch every week. It's great.

There was nothing mysterious about Gilligan's Island. Unless you are referring to its never ending supply of evening gowns and false eyelashes or to the fact that the rest of the castaways never murdered Gilligan (a la Murder on the Orient Express) after he screwed up their rescue the first hundred times.

The show gets better each week. I really thought Charlie was a goner tonight.

I love this show as well. When I first heard about this show, I though it was going to be dumb (with the monster). I was wrong.

OMG, I thought Charlie was dead!! I read about someone dying on the show. I thought for sure it was him. I'm glad I was wrong.

It's also neat living in Hawaii because you see some of the actors around town. The a** on the show (Sawyer and the Korean guy) seem like really nice people. I guess they are great actors.

Really? Someone is supposed to die? Do you know if it is supposed to be a main character? Enquiring minds want to know.
I originally thought Charlie wouldn't die. I kept waiting for him to be revived. Then after such a long time I started thinking, "oh no, he's really dead!" When he started breathing again, I felt kind of gyped. Glad he's still there though.

I saw the first few episodes but I stopped watching when the Wahine came to town to play San Jose State. It was a Wednesday night. I had a friend tape it for me. She will continue to tape it so I figured I'll wait until the season is over and then I can watch all of it without interruption. I actually don't like the stuff that happens on the island, but I do love the flashbacks. Very well done.

I'm reluctant to post what I read because people who don't want to know might read it. If you really want to know IM me and I'll tell you. However, the information I read is from message boards so I don't even know if the info is correct.

Just wait until you have seen the past 2 episodes. Then you might change your mind. It was gooood!!

This past episode was probably the best of not only this show, but any show I've seen in a while. It was really good.
