Since TiVo hasn't caught enough fish, we watched LOST, episodes 3 and 4 (the pilot mentioned in the post below is a two parter) last night. And now I'm hooked. Well, hooked enough to gorge on the videos, then wait a year. I still find it really hokey with the monsters roaming the bush ("Ooooo, scary, very scary, boys and girls!" - Count Floyd, SCTV)
I can just imagine the boyz sitting around creating the series:
"It's like SURVIVOR but MORE REAL!"
"We can build in all the polarity and dysfunction from the get-go!"
"Imagine: a doctor-hero WHO HAS GIVEN UP ON FAITH AND RELIGION! Dark secrets in hunkage!"
"...An innocent looking young hottie with a criminal past... dark secrets in a model's beauty!"
"...a guy in a wheelchair who IS CURED BY THE CRASH and finds himself, and his shoe!"
"...the rock star... who has a drug problem..."
"...a middle east-y soldier who fought ON THE WRONG SIDE who SEEMS to be a nice guy..."
"But who has DARK SECRETS!"
"... the fat guy who... is fat. Really fat. Sweats on everything. But has a heart of gold. Fat gold."
"... the spoiled blonde babe who wears bikinis and... is forced to..."
"I got it! MANIPULATE ALL THE MEN."
"No polarity THERE."
"No, but we need to have some grip on REAL realilty."
"It'll do."
"And everybody loses something. Their LIFE, their mate, their clothes..."
"AND FINDS SOMETHING."
"Oh man, that's allegory. Is there a tribal council? Hey, did you ever read Lord of the Flies?"
"That's IT - this is a QUEST for who becomes LORD OF THE FLYING SURVIVORS on their AMAZING RACE to be RESCUED. The network will go NUTS!!!"
"It's like Gilligan's Island meets Survivor."
"Call ABC."
"I'm dialing."
I just know that Tom Hanks is on the next beach with his volleyball.
