It was ok. It wasn't awful. It wasn't great. It was pretty much what you would expect for an NBC concept drama. I had to put aside a lot of sense of reality and logic while watching (do they still have working curling irons? Really, you want me to believe you'd kill off Elizabeth Mitchell before the show even started and just say "she died out there" without expecting me to know she'll be back probably in the season finale? such little progress in 15 years!) but that doesn't mean I won't watch next week.
A day after the show I actually kept thinking about it. More specifically I kept thinking about 2 things:
- Where are the bicycles?
- Do magnets still work?
If all of a sudden electricity stopped working and cars stopped working you can bet your ass I'd try and get my hands on a bike or anything with non motorized wheels. Maybe the militia took them? Maybe they are all in a warehouse somewhere with flat tires? Did you wonder where they bikes went?
Do magnets still work? Was there any indication in the pilot that magnets no longer worked? I feel like magnets would be another source of power (ha! pun.) during a newly formed dark ages.
There were a lot of shots that reminded me of LOST. Three characters trekking along on the side of the river - reminded me of where Kate almost shot Jack that one time. The google guy is the Hurley. Charlie's brother with asthma is a combination of Shannon ("where's my inhaler!!!") and Walt (he got lost). Girl Charlie has boy Charlie's name and a leather jacket. She just needs a guitar and a heroin addiction. And Bella's dad from Twilight is Sayid Jarrah cause I still only believe Sayid Jarrah could have defeated that many bad guys pretty much alone. He could've done it with his hands tied behind his back (Remember he killed the guy with his feet?! I'm still amazed.)
What else did you notice that was missing from this 15-years-after-the-darkness-came time? What did you think? Do you miss LOST too?
