Hello peeps. With Lost at the forefront of every media outlet out there, I have finally decided (six years too late) to get with it. Yes, I know the show just ended and this is probably the worst time to be in this forum to avoid spoilers, but I'm gonna do it. I'm going to watch the show for the very first time from the beginning and give you all my thoughts as I go. Please for the love of God, NO SPOILERS. I can't stress this enough. I'm going in pretty blind here. I know beforehand only that there's a plane crash on an island and there's "something out there!" So without further ado:
Pilot Part 1:
Why did they name the episode after a guy that has about two minutes of screen time and then gets eaten?
I kid, I kid. Well, if you want to get your audience interested in a show from the very start, there's no better way than massive pandemonium and carnage. Seems like an unusually high number of survivors for a plane crash to me, and many of them with barely a scratch. But hey, I'll suspend a little disbelief. I gotta say, this opening scene is great. You really feel the fear, the panic, and possible hopelessness of the situation.
I don't really feel like I can say anything about the characters yet. Heck, only a few of them even have names yet, so forgive me for just calling them big guy, orange face, pregnant lady, Asian couple, stuck up bitch and her boyfriend/brother (not sure which), and black family for now. Then we get Jack, our "main character" I guess, and Kate, and Merr...I mean Charlie. Not enough time to really get a handle on them, except for the fact that Kate is clearly far less squeamish than most people, and Charlie is probably shooting up in the bathroom.
As for the plot so far...um, a plane crashed and there's "something out there!" But, I've only watched half of a two part episode yet, and when you start the show with such a great, visceral scene as this one, you've got me interested.

because of err how things turn out. I'll code them in case you don't even want that much of a clue about what might be significant...but when I did a similar catchup of SG-1, I got a kick out of people quoting back to me things I said that I should keep an eye out for.
