lagilman"Lost" is, so far, Jurassic Survivor. Interesting cast, interestingly photographed, and maybe interesting plots.... I'll give it one more episode before I decide.
Hrmmm. It's not the original, no, but I'm liking it. Feels right. Sounds almost right (they're doing an interesting quietness in the background that's unnervingly effective). Looks right (if blue). Liked the plot -- nicely twisted. Quite like Sinise's Mac Taylor -- rough-edged, street-compassionate, but nowhere near perfect. Even before I knew what his background was, I could have guessed (ex-Marine). The way he spoke to the vic in the hospital, even though there was no way he could be certain she could hear him, was lovely. The other characters are going to need time to unfold, but Hawkes (the coroner) is already growing on me. I'll be there next week. And the week after. After that...we'll see.
And I do like the choice of theme song.
