    Anyone else seen this yet? It's the latest show from JJ Abrams. (Felicity, Alias)

    The pilot aired in the states on wednesday. Pretty good, some very shocking moments, definately not an 8pm show. I highly recommend it though.

    Ah crap!

    You ever reminded yourself a million times to watch something and then when it is on you find yourself sitting staring out the window, bored and wondering what to do!

    So it was good then? Thats nice!

    Saw the pilot a couple of months ago when I was eh... at a special press screening. That was it. Anyway looks very promising and, being a big Alias fan, I have full faith in J.J.! Be interesting to see how they progress. Certainly like the diverse set of characters and the pilot introduced a few nice twists...

    saw the first episode
    looks pretty decent
    plane crashes on an island in the ocean 1000 miles off course (near figi r something)
    anyway there are some giant animals on the island (u dont actually see them in the first ep)
    its like jurassic park meets alive
    its pretty good though worth a look
    next 2-3 eps will tell if it is actually going 2 work or not
    heres hoping !

    They only showed half the "leaked" pilot the first week. The show looks very promising and has some very hot chicks - particularly the one from Roswell.

    It'll be interesting to see where they go with this. Is it Jurassic Park:The Series? Is it a 'Far Cry' type scenario with mutants? Or is it King Kong:The Series? Or something more original? :)

    I really liked the first episode anyway. Good characters, interesting story, some horror elements, and alot of excellent potential....

    The creators have made it very clear that there is a plausible explanation for the creature and that it is not a dinosaur.

    And now one of the big questions (but not THE BIG question): What is that thing in the bushes? We know it's not a dinosaur. Was it always NOT a dinosaur?
    "JJ and I have always known what it was and we're VERY discriminating about who we tell, because that's one of the biggest secrets of the show. We know from the beginning it wasn't a dinosaur. If the network ever said anything about it to us it was more on the order of, 'Please tell us it's not a dinosaur.' And we're like, 'Ok, it's NOT a dinosaur!'
    "Because of Jurassic Park or Land of the Lost, that's what people expect to be on a mysterious island," Damon explained. "I think you'll find that what that thing is not a constant presence in every episode. It's not a TV show about what is that thing in the jungle. It becomes more about the monsters in each other as opposed to the monsters out there And some of the secrets are much darker than others.

    Does anyone know if the aired shows differed in any way from the leaked pilot?

    The score is different as far as I know (the leaked version had Jack Horner's work from 'Aliens' for example). I don't think there's any scenes cut but I do know that subtitles have been added to explain what the Korean man is saying to his wife whereas the original didn't (and I think that was a better idea too).

    Thanks. I stupidly deleted the pilot and was thinking about grabbing the 1st 2 episodes again. Am I that interested in what the Korean was saying? Hmmmm
