'Lost' Is Starting To Piss Me Off

My son is a 'Lost' evangelist -always spouting on about it - he even made his own video (starring himself, naturally) of the opening sequence of the first episode (drew the line - thank god - at arranging for half a wing and fuselage plus an engine of a disused 737 to be dropped off in the garden!).

Personally I gave up after about five epsiodes - the growling and palm shaking became a bit tedious. It's as if it couldn't make its mind up what sort of series it wanted to be, and so, in the best nouveau cuisine menu language, we have a rendezvous of assorted airline passengers, lightly steamed in an autour of tropical surroundings, dressed with a supernatural coulis. A sort of Fugitive meets The Incredible Hulk via the X Files c/o 24 - you can hear them in the ABC boardroom now 'It's got all the right elements: personal traumas, fear of the unknown, a strange unexplained beast, a life-threatening mystery to solve - it'll run for years - we just can't lose....'

Oh, well there you are. It's a shame, because the quality of acting is generally very high - such a pity they have the scripts they are landed with to rob them of this advantage.

Oh no! son's just turned up with boxed set of series 1 - I'm outta here.....
