Lost - The TV series
 

Just watched the pilot episode. Superb stuff, and one of the best pilots I've seen for a long while.

Apparently C4 have picked up the UK rights to it, so it'll be a must see when it arrives over here.

Anyone else caught it?

I have no idea what you're talking about!
Channel, time, cast list and plot synopsis please!

I did'nt want to give too much away as spoilers for this show really ruin it.
It's not on TV in the UK.

"Out of the blackness the first thing Jack (Matthew Fox) senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks in: people need his help.

Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had—like Kate (Evangeline Lilly) who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain. But the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.

From J.J. Abrams, the creator of "Alias," comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost.

Sounds interesting.
Where did you see this?

Seen the 1st two episodes, fantastic stuff

Biggest budget ever for a pilot episode too

Lots of speculation as to what will happen to the survivors, lots of theories, some intersting ones too

Frenchboy, YHPM

I thought initially it'd be cheesy, a little like Jurrassic park but from the trailer it's anything but.

The nearest thing I can think of what it's like is the from 'Return to the forbidden planet' crossed with the X files and throw in some Survivor and you have about the right mix.

The plane crash scenes and it's aftermath are really well done, and even after only a couple of hours you start to get into the characters, which is always a good sign

yep forbidden planet theory, Langoliers, and possibly they are all in purgatory are some of the other theories
