Is this making any sense to anyone?

How did he get out of the bathroom with a bloody hole in his leg?

well I gave it a chance and its just not that good of a show. sux

[boutte]

Thye need to give us more of the story. The weekly chase story just isn't well written enough to carry the show and the five or ten minutes at the end isn't to keep me watching. I'll see if it develops but at this rate it'll be a one season series.

I just watched it, the guy said someone would get him in the morning if he didn't bleed out first.

No the last little titbits each episode just don't cut it to hold intrest. They need to ditch the 'inmate of the week' now and give us something to get our teeth into. The problem with a lot of these new shows is that they are so clearly product that they are trying to give longevity to, season after season... tell us a story, if it takes 12 episode to tell it so what?

This show really reminds me of Lost in a couple of ways.

Never ending questions very few if any answers.

But I do think it's more structured than Lost and they are stitching the story together (very slowly).

I'm waiting for someone to pull gun on Sam Neil and say "Tell me what F___ is going on"! or

Ben to show up and turn the donkey wheel and move the Island.

I'm about two epis behind but I've gotta know. Any rhyme or reason yet as to why these folks are showing back up now, unaged?

As soon as I saw the green beetle...
