    me too a little. I think that's a good thing. The head writer for this was also a writer for Lost.

    I'm watching it now. I can't figure out where the show is supposed to be going. I'm completely lost.

    They already caught one inmate, now the person of interest is a sniper who kills in 3's.

    So the premise of the show is going to be finding the inmates? They aren't setting this up very well IMO and I was looking forward to checking it out. I'm about halfway through and it's not holding my attention very well.

    I thought it was quite good, your supposed to be lost at this point, I would be pissed if I could line up everything after the Pilot.......the twist at the end was very good as well, he shot the "doctor", how did she get there, how does she not know who is behind this, etc etc

    It could be a fringe benefit of being in that FBI division that she was able to go back in time, or she might be from the past.

    I assumed she was someone from the past before we ever saw the clip at the end. Hauser said to her a bit earlier in the show, "You always wanted children so go babysit." That sounds like something a man would say to his gf/wife/ex and with the age difference it immediately made me think she was his age as well.

    Seriously, people were lost? As in they weren't sure what was going on? Obviously, we don't know the full details about a lot of different things, but as far as the time-travel and non-aging are concerned, it seems pretty straightforward.

    In any case, I thought it was a pretty solid premiere. The cast seems to have good chemistry and Rebecca and Diego are very likable characters.

    Just finished watching and I def. enjoyed it and will watch unless it gets retarded. Both episodes were solid as stand-alone episodes and the over-arching mystery should be exciting to watch get unlayered. Really liked both the hot chick and the guy from Lost's characters too.

    Thx man, appreciate it.

    btw, 1 of the coolest tours I ever took. Unbelievable being in that small cell and I just can't imagine being on a rock with the worst ppl on earth. That being said, it has a good view if you are going to be locked up forever

    Agree.

    I think when all the inmates are out it's going to be Armageddon.

    i only saw the one tonight and it seems so cookie cutter. Try to catch the bad guy before he kills again. and the killer is some obsessive compulsive idiot

    I liked Lost way better. I'm not into time travel, sci fi, anything like that and I think you have to dig that kind of show in order to like this show whereas Lost appealed to a broader range of viewers.

    Holy run on sentence...

    Haven't watched an episode yet (both recorded), but if you're going in expecting it to be Lost you're going to be disappointed. Why not just judge it for what it is instead of what some of the people associated with it used to create with Lost?

    I didn't expect it to be like Lost whatsoever. I watched it actually knowing NOTHING about the show except what Alcatraz is IRL. It's the whole time travel thing and the dude FROM Lost that makes me compare it.

    I heard about Hurley and JJ Abrams from Lost being involved in it but pretty disappointed, uninterested so far. Don't know if I'll keep downloading.

    i watched about 2/3 of episode one and didn't really care for it. i wasn't a fan of the female lead and i thought the dialogue was sub par. i am not going to watch it week to week but if the consensus says that it gets better than i'll revisit it later when I can marathon it. much preferable for me watching it like that.
