On a deserted island
Wow.
I've only seen the first three episodes and I'm hooked.
When I first saw ads for "Lost," I thought it was just some show cooked up to capitalize on the "Survivor" craze, but now I'm blown away.
I love how the characters are revealed so slowly. First, it makes it a little easier to keep up. The producers/writers must have realized that it would be insane to try to develop all the characters in the first couple of episodes because there are so many. Also, it adds to the suspense. Each episode provides just a few more details about a couple of characters, which sometimes just raises more questions -- as if there aren't enough of those to go around as it is.
Then there's the island, which seems to be the paramount mystery, and a character unto itself. I'm not going to say any more, because I don't want to ruin anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet (like I have a lot of room to talk, I've seen only three episodes).
If you don't care about spoilers, you can check out Liz's entries on Warm Glow, and I'm sure there's plenty of talk on various "Lost" forums.
As for me, I'm going to avoid any references to the show until I'm caught up.
ho ho, curt. i also cashed in on the "lost" experience last week. took in the entire first season in like four days. insane.
