Lost, season 1, episode 1
Lost: Season 1, episode 1
I really do like Lost after watching 6 episodes. The first episode though was full of unexplained mysteries that seemed to live in a parallel universe where Hawaii is an uncharted, unoccupied island, and highy improbably things happen all the time.
It starts off with a totally unrealistic scene of a plane crash on the coast of Hawaii. You know, the jet engine mysteriously still powered and able to suck a person into it, which promptly causes it to explode in a huge fireball. Totall unrealistic.
Then it gets into stereotypes. The black single parent with child. The untrustworthy, immoral asian man who's only looking out for his own kind. The docile, obedient asian "China Doll" woman who agrees to everything that her man says and doesn't say a word. Meanwhile, all the people who are helping each other out are white folk.
But it gets better later on. Some things are explained, some are simply questions asked but left unanswered, particularly the probability of anyone surviving the supposed plane crash.
