just turned it on 8 minutes ago and already TWO trombone falloffs

Did they remember to add a mismatched pair of cop buddies to it? Just askin'.

I watched LOST. All of it. I'm not falling for this shit again.

guys I am going to lost this later

^^ extreme typo I left in place, meant to type "watch this later"

I watched the first 10-15 minutes and lost it at SCIENTIST HURLEY and figured I am probably not in the state of mind to evaluate it

OMG

MAIN CHARACTER NAMED JACK

SECRET HATCH IN THE WILDERNESS

GOOD GUYS ARE BAD GUYS AND VICE VERSA

ALCATRAZ IS AN ISLAND

judging by the 8 deep trombone section and auxiliary percussion giacchino actually brought back the entire lost orchestra

my girlfriend said you could make an effective drinking game of this show if you drink every time someone refers to it as "the island"

if this pilot ends without the LOST placecard i will actually be disappointed

THE ONLY BERKLEE BONGO MAJOR: hello?
MICHAEL GIACCHINO: javier? have i got good news!

yes, i am racist for assuming a bongo major's name is javier.

This was shit. And boring shit at that. At least LOST, which I bailed on when they did that first stupid dream episode, had a really excellent first episode.

You'd never guess from this that Sam Neill can be a good actor. He needs to stick to low-budget Australian movies.

i am not going to watch this cos i'm already watching one terrible ex-'lost'-ppl show (once upon a time), but i would appreciate more disbelieving liveblogs of future episodes!

lost it at SCIENTIST HURLEY

like in a christmas jones the nuclear physicist kind of way?

Not that this show deserves tons of scrutiny or attention but how do you get "scientist Hurley" out of a history PhD who owns a comic book store?

The second hour was better then the first; really more interested in my eternal girlfriend Parminder Nagra than anyone else

o what's that you say now, parminder nagra

Yeah basically they totally hid that she's in this in all of the promo material I've seen; her name came up in the credits and I was all "okay you better not be a horrible show because I am watching you religiously now"

well, they seem to be being very careful with 'fringe'. so maybe they learned their lesson after the debacle that was the tail-end of 'lost'.

ah, parminder nagra.

btw the two top auto-suggested searches in google chrome for 'parminder nagra' are 'parminder nagra' and 'parminder nagra feet', which, wtf.

agonzingly, the number one result for the latter search is NOT RESPONDING:

let me save you guys the trouble. as it turns out alcatraz is actually where free people live, it's the outside world that's the prison. also, everyone is dead.
