While the premise is interesting, I think it is too massive in scope; it will be almost impossible to keep from having to cram too much into each one hour episode.

Strangely, the most I could get as far as reactions to the pilot at work was a shrug of the shoulders; nobody seemed to be pulled in to this the way Lost grabbed folks.

The bits of investigatory discovery last night, mainly the reviewing of security cameras and what they showed, gives some hope to an unfolding drama/mystery that can be focused on; but, trying to keep track of all of the primary characters' "future vision" is going to be possibly more work than the audience may be willing to give.

Truth be told, Lost wasn't as popular as you remember until half way through the first season when a lot of people had a chance to go back and catch up on missed episodes on rerun (like I myself did).

I watched the show this morning on my DVR, I'm interested enough to watch again next week (though Thursday night will always belong to The Office and now, Community).

I was interested, but not hooked. Probably watch again this week if the time is right, but I won't go out of my way for it. There's possibility, but I don't really see how it can unfold to be as engrossing as some other shows. We'll see though - interesting premise, at least it's somewhat unique.

I thought the show has potential, but the lead ins to the commercials about remember this or that because it might be important offended my wife's and my intelligence. After the first one or two, it was a race to hit fast forward on the dvr before those damned messages ruined any potential immersion in the show.

I'm missing the reference, they told you what to remember?

Like when the kangaroo went hopping by the FBI guy, and then as they broke for commercial, the announcer said in his oh, so mysterious voice: "Remember the kangaroo".

They did a few of those ham-handed cues.

Yeah, I watch Bones too. Everything my wife and I watch though, we DVR. It's a godsend with kids, so we can start the shows after they go to bed.

A bummer last week with my AT&T U-Verse cable was choosing which HD show I would record between Bones and FlashForward. Obviously I chose Bones, since it's something my wife and I have watched weekly for a few years now. Though on Friday night, FlashForward was re-aired in HD, so I recorded the HD feed before we watched it.

Fringe looks like there are going to be some interesting twists this season.

I love this show. Who would ever have thought the Steward of Gondor would be such a love-able old curmudgeon in a future incarnation? :p

He is a good actor that is for sure. Cant wait to see Boromir as Ned in the A Song of Ice and Fire HBO show.

I just watched the second episode. I'd say I was definitely more excited about it a month ago than I am now. I'm willing to give it a few more hours to develop though.

I have to assume there's going to start being some sort of not-obvious explanation for the things they saw, otherwise it's going to be pretty lame; like reading the end of the book first.
