I'll give it one or two more episodes, but this last one was pretty dismal.

First let me start off saying that Evil Black Chick is not Ben Linus. Not even close.
This whole other plot looks like total crap at the moment and I imagine it is going to start turning Lost fans away not bring them in.
Let me say again.... EBC is no Ben Linus.
Now on to our Sci-Fi plodding plot of the week.
I think the guy scoring the show needs a little perspective. The evil sinister music being played because of an overturned chair actually had me laughing which I doubt was the original intent.
Maybe if a giant spider had jumped from under the overturned chair but sometimes an overturned chair is just an overturned chair and it doesn't require evil sinister music.
The virus selectively erases memory? Yeah ok. Pretty weak since they needed people to maintain some of their skills so they could create the antidote but weakly executed. I actually watched a Neext Generation episode yesterday that did a much better job with selective memory loss.
Not to mention the fact that the Doctor Chick maintained her wits longer than anyone else and even regained her composure.
The whole latching onto one memory of course brought me back to.....
I'm really getting tired of the morons wandering around aimlessly at night.
I love the fact that Evil Avatar Guy was somehow able to get into the compound. Once again proving how totally shitty the shitty fence is. Hell, if I were him I would send all of those red shirt crappy soldiers back to Earth to die and get a new batch.
Security is pretty much nonexistent. Anyone can get in or out at anytime without anyone noticing. LAZY writing.
You would think after 7 years and with a group of evil 6ers out there trying to kill Evil Avatar Guy, they might actually have tight security but no instead of tight security, little kids can wander about and leave the through the shitty fence anytime they want.
Overall, that had the feel of a low to mid level Stargate episode. Not one I would rush to see again but par for the course for the Sci-Fi channel.
However, this isn't the sci-fi channel. I expect more from Speilburger and so far he is producing something that would be cancelled after one season on Sc-Fi.
They are destroying this show with the teen plot crap. Do we have any teens on the board? Do any of you like seeing any of the teen plots?
Oh let me say it again. These others suck and EBC sucks. Yup, she is no Ben Linus and I pray she is just a henchman and not the main force behind the 6ers cause I can't stand her.

just watched episode 3 of this, was slow to catch up because I watched it on Hulu
this show is awful.. it's no wonder there's so many reality shows on TV these days, writers can't be fricked to try decent dialog
I don't even care about the special effects. Many great shows have had worse effects.
The plot is bland and predictable, I don't care about a single character, and none of them converse like human beings.
I'm done with this show.

this last one was a nail in the coffin
it's crystal clear that generic female lead isn't interested in generic ex boyfriend anymore, so why is generic male lead threatened by him at all? How was that worth an episode and a half (and I'm sure there will be more in the future)?

Why, there's no other way to generate tension but to make those two lose their memories back to the point where they were lovers while the husband conveniently retains his. But what really offended me was how their best scientist rushed headlong into a quarantine situation where their other best scientist was without knowing the nature of it. These characters are all so stupid, they would've all been dead inside a month.
BTW, I'm smarter than the hot doctor because I immediately suspected Sam's (I don't know the character's name - but he was Sam on "Life on Mars" - a far better show) cold was conferring protection against the 85,000,000 y/o virus. And by the time it came up, I already had the thing on in the background so wasn't really paying attention.

but clearly it should have been the animal dung that was only in the script because it's hilarious when people eat poop

God this show is so bad, but for some reason, I like it. Sometimes mindless television hits the spot.

Damn! missed this episode, it started way late and i didn't record the show after it.
Did the dinosaurs eat anyone? Did people do dumb stuff to put themselves in harm's way? Did the horny doc make a move on the married woman doc? In the preview it looked like she lost her memory. Typical soap opera trick to open the door for horny doc.

She's not supposed to be...I really wish the TN/Lost comparisons would stop. Aside from minimal similarities, they're not anywhere close to the same show IMO.

Agreed. The whole memory loss thing is a cool idea, but it could have been executed MUCH better than it was.
And I've had just about enough of the whole Jim/horny doc adversary thing. That should be a minor part of the show, but it was rearing its ugly head several times in this one, and I feel like it will continue.

It wasn't latching onto a memory; it was that your memory was wiped back to a certain time in your life. That's why Elizabeth thought she was in med school and Captain Avatar thought he was at war.
quote:

Agreed BIG TIME. I can't stand Whiney Son at all. And his story is the most unbelievable anyway. So an annoying, whiney bitch kid jumps back and within minutes he meets the resident cute girl who just happens to immediately fall for him, and all of her friends (all guys) are cool with it (which is bullshite because you know they all want her too)? Not buying that. And every time they showed them last night, the camera stayed on them while they just sat there exchanging awkward glances at each other for like 5 or 10 seconds. It was just weird. Also, I already hate the "him getting a job with Shady Bartender Guy" subplot, and it just started up.
As far as security, it doesn't bother me as much as you...it's good enough to keep dinos out apparently, and that's the main thing it's made for IMO. It's not really made to keep people out/in. And I think the 6ers know they're outnumbered and out-weaponed, so they keep their distance and make trades (legit and under the table apparently).
I don't know...the whole premise of the last episode was interesting, I just feel like they're mailing it in and not giving much of a frick about making the show great (which I think it could be given the idea of the show). I still say it's doing a better job than Falling Skies, but each week it seems like it gets closer and closer to FS in terms of quality. I'll still stick with it for now, but watching this past show last night barely had me interested enough to watch the whole thing in one sitting. We'll see...

Exactly..I thought the same things. Some parts of the show are almost insulting.
And we got about 15 seconds of actual dinosaur "action" last night in the beginning when old boy got eaten...and then some crappy scavenger dinos at one point. But I agree with this:

..as long as they do SOMETHING with dinosaurs, then I'm good with it. I don't expect Jurassic Park-quality CGI, so just give me some dino action and I'm good. But so far, the only thing we get is one attack on a vehicle, some flying bat dinosaurs, and a 10 second attack. Oh, and Cpt. Avatar driving a scooter through the legs of a big brontosaurus thing. Yay.

The dinosaur snatching the guy off of the top of the vehicle in the first episode was cool, they need more of that.
Thin the herd a little bit. These are supposed to be people who were "selected" because of their value.Yet some of them seem to have no value at all. Those who wonder outside the compound alone and/or at night need to be eaten.

finally watched episode 3. So, sure it isn't the greatest writing, acting, or cgi.
But, I still find it entertaining. And, the entire premise of this episode had zero to do with the memory loss. It was all about the 30 seconds in which Commander Taylor revealed some unknown information about his own past to Jim and the audience.
Revealing that little bit of information gave me a glimmer of hope in this show.
