If you didn’t know that Off The Map was from producer Shonda Rhimes, who’s given America Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, I’m sure you made the connection early on during Wednesday night’s premiere. Young, cute doctors, gazing at the bright blue sky and ocean (ah, the purity of nature!), spoke of reinventing themselves: “If there was ever a place to start over, it’s here.” It’s the kind of moony goop-speak that would not be out of place coming from the mouth of Meredith Grey or Addison Montgomery.
Pretty soon, in another Rhimes trademark, a shirt was doffed, revealing rippling abs, as a female gaze gave us permission — nay, insisted of us — that we do the same.
Off The Map‘s only distinctive gimmick is to come up with fact-based but exotic remedies for medical problems. Thus, coconut milk as plasma substitute. And thus, the medical mission-statement announced by Dr. Ben (Martin Henderson): “We have plants that cure viruses… tree sap to heal wounds… This is where medicine was born!” No, sorry, it simply was not born here. Wherever “here” is — “somewhere in South America,” as the show stated early on (it’s actually filmed primarily in Hawaii), just won’t cut it.
Off The Map is Grey’s Anatomy with flies; Private Practice with no sun-block. The doctors divide into two groups: the dashing “old” pros (Martin Henderson, Valerie Cruz, Jason Winston George) and the eager young pups (Zach Gilford, Mamie Gummer, Caroline Dhavernas, Rachel Lefevre). Because Gilford used to star in Friday Night Lights and Mamie Gummer has done fine work on The Good Wife, my hope was that Off The Map would be swashbuckling nighttime soap opera.
But the premiere episode was marred by a dreary earnestness and a smothering flood of character backstories. (Example: Gilford’s Tommy used to be a med-school party-boy and so his South American stint is a form of penance – boo-hoo.) If the show was really about, as one character says, “Baby docs padding their resumes” by frolicking in a warm climate – well, that might be fun, and not the have-it-both-ways pious drag it was too frequently this night.
The first episode was titled “Saved By The Great White Hope,” as though simply by acknowledging the infusion of pretty white people into this South American setting, the producers were forestalling any criticism of a show that sets up privileged white people as saviors of people with different color skin. But that’s exactly what Off The Map did anyway. The scenes of Gilford’s Tommy or Gummer’s Mina bestowing their knowledge upon wet-eyed, grateful “natives” were excruciating. Combine this with the fact that the “baby docs” arrive with arrogant ignorance of the Spanish language, and Off The Map became something more than mawkishly melodramatic — it was insulting. Were we supposed to think we were superior to, or sorry for, Tommy when he asked someone what “gringo” means?
Will you keep watching these people practice medicine and their seduction skills?
Twitter: @kentucker
Loved it! Will def. keep watching.
More of the same old melodrama from that hack of a writer Shonda Rhimes.
I predict that the season finale will have a lot deaths in it, just like every single Grey’s Anatomy finale. How boring and bland of her. This show is a waste of time and downgrades the quality of TV. Cable TV has become the primary for me thanks to shows like this.
Sorry, Ken, you were way too critical of Off The Map! It was the first episode for Pete’s sake! Characters and lay-of-the-land have to be introduced! We don’t like the soap-driven Grey’s or Private Practice. If OFF THE ROAD gives us at least one strange medical problem, one inter-culture challenge, and one character development each week, we will stay with this beautifully photographed, well-directed, and well acted ensemble. However, if they start a bed-hopping and bitch-of-the-week scenario, we’re gone… and I would miss Martin Henderson something awful!!
Brad u suck!! The show was geat!!! U didn’t jave to watch it!!
Henderson needs to decide whether to use his natural Aussie speaking voice or faking the American accent because that was REALLY annoying.
It was eh… I don’t really care about these characters. We get it, everyone is dark and twisty in this one.
Thank you. I thought that I was going insane. I was watching it with my roommate and kept asking if this guy was supposed to be American or an Aussie. We kept rewinding.
I agree. But I believe he’s from New Zealand, not Australia.
I agree! That was completely annoying. Why does it matter that is American? If he’s an Aussie or a Kiwi, just let him be. He is hot, but that’s the ONLY good thing I can say about this insipid slop.
He’s a Kiwi. And as a Kiwi I agree, the accent was off…I could hear his NZ twang popping up all over the place.
Guess none of you “brilliant” people ever considered that there may be a reason for that. You have to keep watching!
lol omg I thought it was just me about the accent, but I’ll keep on watching it regardless.
Martin Henderson is from New Zealand…not Australia.
He’s a bloody New Zealander, not an Aussie
He’s pure Kiwi
They interview’d him and he said that the producers asked him to try and throw an american accent in with is kiwi accent because apperantly our kiwi accent is alittle hard to understand.. thats why he speaks like that.
So tired of these “young doctors in love” shows. Can we please have a moritorium on them? The genre should have been over when ER ended.
very unoriginal show. newbies = meredith (with mer resembling kate from lost), karev, and izzy. oldbies = mcdreamy, bailey, and burke.
You can have a moratorium on them when morons stop watching them.
Lost Anatomy
Love it! I kept thinking of Lost when those yahoos were about to jump off the cliff into the ocean. That is one hour of my life I will never get back. Don’t plan on watching this show ever again.
I am so tired of TV portraying doctors like they really give a damn. The reality is that they don’t care about their patients. They look at you for 2 seconds and prescribe a drug they’re not even sure will work. Who out there knows a doctor that empathizes with them and then tells you personal stuff about themselves? Such a lie, from start to finish.
Ouch.
I have been seeing the same doctor for the past 10 years. She has never rushed me, combines Western medicine with an openness to holistic treatments and has taken the time to really get to know and understand me. It seems very childish to me to paint every doctor the same way. Get out and find one that does meet your criteria instead of slamming them all.
Typical anti-medical science, anti-intellectual garbage.
Yup. garbage. Gisele needs to get a clue and find an actual doctor. The real problem is that she’s probably utterly scientifically illiterate and can’t participate in the slightest in her own health care. And, Off The Map was pretty awful. There just was nothing there to keep watching (and sorry to the usually excellent Jason George).
Here’s the thing, it’s not that doctors don’t care, it’s that they don’t get as emotionally invested as doctors on TV do. My sister is a physician assistant and she said it’s impossible to be like that because once you start getting attached, you aren’t able to do your job. Doctors (well, most) do actually care about their patients, but they don’t go to the extremes that these TV doctors do.
I find your comment highly insulting and rude. I am a medical student right now, and not only am I training to be the best physician I can be, I’m studying under the most profoundly compassionate and wonderfully caring doctors I have ever met. Do they love every single patient? No…sometimes we see narcotic seekers, or people that don’t really need to be in the ER, or drunk combative patients, and it tests our limits. But, most of the time, doctors sincerely love their work, and they love the patients.
And while the lines and drama of these TV doctors are highly over the top, every now and then, things like that do happen….Hollywood just has a way of taking once in a lifetime moments, and putting them in every episode for effect.
Not exactly sure what has happened to you with doctors; however, this is very stereotypical & narrow minded. Instead of posting how terrible doctors are, maybe you should try going to find a better dr.
Giselle is probably only familiar with socialized medicine, where doctors don’t have the motivation to give a crap about their patients…
woah, was golden saying anti-socialized medicine crap? while gisele’s anti doctor comments don’t make a whole lot of sense, it don’t think you can say that socialized medicine doctors don’t have any motivation to help their patients. you’re suggesting that because they aren’t making ridiculous amounts of money privately they won’t have the motivation to do their jobs, which is definitely insulting to doctors all around.
It was straight up ignorant and racist. I was worried when I saw the commercials and the first 15 minutes (actually less) proved it to be so; young white docs coming to help the pathetic natives (maybe get a little something from their magical-earthy ways, just enough not to be offensive – didn’t work).
You’re all intellectual morons, all of you who didn’t like and watch the whole 1 hour as it’ll be different from grey’s anatomy. This show is not about being accurate in healing treatments, it’s just to enjoy nice stories on a beautiful set while not analyzing everything and putting the brain in energy save mode and enjoying the ride. And to admire my 2 wonderful canadian actresses.
@brad2222: Thank you, finally! The self-satified snark in this column and comment section is hard to swallow or even understand. It IS just a TV show – relatively predictable and adequately produced. It neither makes the world better nor worse, just offers a bit of entertainment for whosever chooses to get it here.
while these people have been kind of trashing the show, and while they might or might not have valid points, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don’t insult someone by calling them an intellectual. it will NOT help your case. saying you’re too stupid to stupid to understand their complaints and trying to debunk their criticism by calling them intelligent and learned people isn’t really going to make anyone want to side with you…
Hey Brad and Francesca, what was your favorite, the part where blonde doc cleverly tried to communicate with her non-English speaking patient BY TALKING LOUD AND SLOW (in English)…
….or the part where bad boy doc won over his non-English speaking patient by giving an IMPASSIONED, self-obsessed speech (in English)?…
…. My favorite was when brunette doc held up the medivac chopper several hours (likely resulting in the deaths of multiple other needy patients) so she and hunky doc could haul her unconscious, near-dead patient on a journey several miles to some sparkly lake where he had fancied he wanted to scatter his dead wife’s ashes. Lucky for her he was all geeked out on coconut milk plasma or, being an American tourist, he’d have sued her ass for reckless endangerment.
ViktoriyaC on June 23, 2010 No way in hell do any of the oelppe in my zumba class look so in shape and know what their doing We’ve got oelppe going all over the place (me included). But it really is fun.
Why waste time having a comments section if we have to put up with the ads
The medical science is completely bogus. But the moron watching this show don’t care. They all believe in astrology and homeopathy. Completely stupid show.
I am an educated college student & business owner-not a moron-and I enjoyed this show. Furthermore, I do not believe in astrology and homeopathy. This show is just that-a show nothing more nothing less. If you disliked this show so much, change the channel and quit wasting other peoples time trashing the show and people that watch it.
We are one and done. That the wonderful Caroline from “Wonderfalls” and Zack (“FNL”) have ended up in this dung heap is beyond depressing.
Just terrible. When Zack is forced to say idiotic lines such as “what’s a gringo?”, he is obviously not a fish out of water, but from another planet.
The most interesting thing about it was pondering where they got all the Spanish-speakers in Hawaii, where it’s shot.
i kinda loved it. i was entertained.
it’s got flaws and wasn’t as immediately amazing as the grey’s pilot, but i didn’t expect it to be. that was written by shonda herself and she doesnt write for this. just a producer. and it had some cheesy moments. but overall, i liked it. i’ll be back. the cast is great, the cases were interesting (they’re making good use of their location to set the show apart and do unique stuff), and the scenery was just unreal.
Bee…I agree with your comments as I too found this new series entertaining and will continue to watch it for now.
I’ll keep whatching for a while to see how it goes – I didn’t care for PP at first but now I watch that on the DVR before I watch Grey’s
I didn’t expect to like this at all – another Shonda Rhimes show – whoopee… But it was better than I expected and will watch again next week. I like the chemistry between the head doc and the new girl -should be interesting to watch.
In complete agreement
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’ll tell you something…I really liked this. I’m surprised that there were so many negative comments, but everyone is entitled to their oppinon. I’m not looking to take every medical procudure they do, and compare it to real-world senerios. I take it for what it’s worth…and I thought the characters were engaging, each had a reason to want a fresh start, and I think the series deserves a chance to let us in to their lives a little more. I found the premiere laid the groud work well and made me interested enough to tune in next week.
I thought it was just terrible. I wanted to like it because I really like most of the cast, but it was so painful.
Agree! I wanted to like it, but found myself painfully bord for most of it. Martin Henderson was easy to look at, though!
merry528 on August 5, 2010 @happy920 Heeey it is maby a year ago that you post your comment7:50 wo’s siinngg> Is it Rod or Nicky? Well it is Princeton
Second that. Cast is lovely to look at, good acting, but terribly boring and soppy storyline.
So true, so true. Zach Gilford should be doing movies, not Shonda Rhimes cast-off crap.
Twenty minutes into the show and already heard 3 comments against/belittling Americans. I don’t like it. Surely you can do better than that.
Whats the big deal, what is wrong with speaking the truth… Americans are fat and arrogant. It’s true. You must embrace the facts. The rest of the world has.
If Americans are fat and arrogant, “FAT” was absent in this six-pack abs and svelte doc drama. This carbon copy show is for ABC what all of NBCs carbon copy snide office comedies and CBSs predictable pick-a-cast of stereotypes (old sage, one black, one oddball, several hunks, brainy young woman) procedurals.
Its interesting they belittle us but we keep helping them. We have no obligation to do so but we pour billions into helping them and they think they can sit there with their hands out and beg for more while insulting us. Its time we only help people who actually appreciate our help and let the others fend for themselves. Would you give money to bum on the street that insults you, I wouldn’t.
Right on, The Truth! Everyone wants Americas help, or they want to come here for a better life but they insult us every chance they get. America needs to focus on helping people that appreciate it!
American actors who must be in shape in order to work are hardly the physical standard of America. Go watch Super Size Me.
Ok “The Truth” and wtf, there’s a big difference between America and Americans. In this case: AMERICA gives money to third world countries who need the aid…AMERICANS (not all of them but a vast majority) sit and home, don’t work out and don’t eat a healthy diet. Then these individual AMERICANS get fat and go to a foreign country where they can’t understand the language or the culture. That’s how the bad reputation of AMERICANS is formed but AMERICA still seems like a paradise.
PS-What do you call someone who can speak only one language?
AMERICAN
Actually, America gives far less per capita than most other advanced nations. We need all our money to buy deep-fried Snickers bars and porn.
Most Americans *think* their government gives lots of foreign aid. We could look it up and find out the truth, but most of us never do because, as you say, we are arrogant and exceptional. Also too busy playing Angry Birds to bother. After all, we need our exercise! I could whoop any of you non-Americans in a thumb-wrestling contest!
How could you not all love us? Just jealous I guess. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m headed out to Mickey D’s for a snack before dinner.
But I bet you watch NCIS which belittles the rest of the world every three seconds.
Maybe you keep helping them because it was your country that stripped them of their natural resources/oil/minerals for your own gains leaving them in the mess they are. Maybe if Americans didn’t produce so much pollution so they can run apps on their phones or watch porn on the internet, climate change would not be causing starvation/drought in those parts of the world. There are at least half a dozen countries who America directly owes because it was America that screwed them up in the first place…and no they do not need to feel grateful for that. Should you give money to a bum in the street if you were the one who illegally invaded his home and threw him out on the street…then damn right you should.
Oh, no! Annie, my Angry Birds app is contributing to pollution? The bookmark to porn on my computer is causing global warming? I wish you’d told me that earlier. I’ll go delete them both immediately. Moron.
I’m sure only Americans produce pollution, use apps and watch porn. England never screwed anyone or invaded and enslaved other countries or produces any pollution – they certainly don’t have smart phones with apps because that’s what it all comes down too – the I-phone is the harbinger of climate change the rest of the global population has NOTHING to do with it– Yeah
America has some of the most stringent anti-pollution regulations in the world. China, India – these countries are contributing far more to climate change and overall pollution thant his country. Plus they have population sizes far greater than ours and growing exponentially everyday.
Dear Nay-lo, I believe that when America was still a developing country they had emitted A LOT of CO2 and other harmful chemicals (more than China and India). So shut your ignorant face up when you say that the US had little to do with climate change. It’s stupid that now that people discovered this problem it’s suddenly the developing country’s faults. If people were aware of Global Warming when America was still a developing country then people would say that the US and even Europe would be at fault. BTW “America has some of the most stringent anti-pollutin regulations” made me laugh. When I fly to the states, all I see is smog. You need to get your facts straight.
Dear Pall,
One hundred years ago (“when we were still a developing country”) the population of the Earth was much smaller than it is now. Thus, the amount deployed by China and India currently is much greater than the US was as a developing nation (Hint: right now, China and India have 1/3 the Earth’s population, whereas the US has a mere 20th). Nay-lo’s argument still holds, especially since the only “fact” that you brought to the table was that “all [you] see is smog,” which is to say the least, hardly concrete evidence. Not every spar on the internet needs to devolve into deploying personal attacks either.
And btw, our pollution policies are much more stringent than India and China, try flying a plane there and then describe what you see.
Yours Truly,
Barrack Obama.
Man, I haven’t abused any native peoples or launched a crusade in or enslaved some folks or eaten a lard pie in WEEKS.
I jest has got to buckle down, cause we all know how all y’all fer-ners are such model bipeds. Us rill ‘MERCUNs got to pick up the SLACK.
An additional note: if you are from a country that hasn’t benefited from the relative peace of the Pax Americana, you get 20 bonus points. Ooops, NO ONE gets bonus points.
Wow, I don’t know how my comment got that conversation started.
Absolutely right, “ch!” With 20 minutes to kill and not much in the way of plot or character, I would have expected at least 7 or 8 anti-american comments. What a gyp!
IMHO you’ve got the right awnser!
i want to watch cause i looooove zachary gilford and i liked mamie gummer on the good wife but i couldnt get past that commercial where the girl said something about crossing the line.
That’s the most ridiculous reason for not watching a show. P.S. You missed out…Zachary was HOT!
DVR it and zap the commercials, that’s what we do with almost everything.
I didn’t watch it, but I didn’t miss his hotness, either. Did you see FNL tonight? Sweet Jesus he’s grown up right. Matt Saracen was a new level of hotness tonight. Seriously.
You’re torturing me, “mary q contrary”! Some of us don’t get to see sweet Matt Saracen until NBC airs FNL, whenever that is. Until then, I have to live vicariously through you folks who are lucky enough to be seeing it now. Be sure to spill some details on Mr. Tucker’s episode recap please!
i know thats a ridiculous reason!!! but yeah i skipped it last night – it is on my dvr so i will have to watch the QB1 scenes. i love him.
Please don’t watch this crap so Z.G. can go get a real job.
Ugh- I didn’t like the show at all. Beside the point. I immediately had to watch this week’s FNL (sorry!) because I knew Saracen was on from the end of last week’s show . His character on this show is too stupid and ignorant. And seriously- who goes to work in a Spanish-speaking country with NO knowledge of the language. Back to the point- if you are a fan of Zach’s from FNL I would advise against watching this mess. The only good thing is that they are using the Lost crew so the cinematography is excellent.
People who actually want to make a difference go to a Spanish-speaking country go. They are called philanthropists. There aren’t any prerequisites one has to fulfill in order to HELP people!
Didn’t the guy say he chose these 3 young people out of a ton of applications though? You’d think he would have wanted someone who actually spoke the language or, y’know, wasn’t a sad frat boy.
If he had that many options, why did he chose these three? Even if they have some amazing talent hidden deep within that we’re meant to find out in later episodes, i doubt that was mentioned on their resumes. So, again, why?
Yo soy Anglo. Vivo in Virginia. M3e voy a un pais latino una vez por un semana. Pero hablo espanol mejor que esos doctores pendejos.
Or to quote Clay Davis from an actual good television show: “Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.”
Meg, I had the same thought. But I think the bug-eyed guy is still hiding out somewhere on the old LOST set they’re using. Hopefully he’ll hop out of the jungle next week and explain that the whole thing is another fiendish Dharma Project mind game.
This show was idiotic.Lol at lead doc slipping in and out of an Australian accent.(That he’s from NZ just makes it twice a funny!)
I was so confused by his voice. Is that the way he normally speaks(going in and out of an Australian/NZ accent and into an American one) or was he supposed to be playing an American and he just couldn’t keep his accent together?! because in Bride and Prejudice he played an American and kept his American accent the whole time. but here it was confusing and annoying to listen to at sometimes!!
i was really confused about his accent slipping too! I wasn’t sure if it was something with his character, because I know Martin Henderson can keep an American accent.
Sorry about your love for Henderson, but it doesn’t really make sense for his character to have half an accent. The online summary’s of this show have him American (UCLA-Cali, I think) What I don’t get is why the director/crew member wouldn’t notice & smack him or something.
bnyc5131999 on May 29, 2011 i know about ethel merman in gypsy, i know about patti ulnope in gypsy, i know about bernadette peters in gypsy, and i know about orfeh in legally blonde lol
Well there was THAT.
Dee, you’re abolutely right. I kept asking myself if Dr. Ben supposed to be an Australian who’s spent a great deal of time in the US. I know that Martin Henderson can do a pefect American accent, so I just couldn’t understand what was up with the NZ/Australian accent coming through.
I was bored! The acting was bad, dialogue cheesy, and too many fake and contrived emotional moments. I’m also not feeling any chemistry between the cast. The supposed hot looks between the brunette and hot shaggy doc were silly considering they had just met one another. Everything felt forced.
Totally agree with you. Cheesy and contrived is exactly right.
I totally agree! It was lame and cheesy. I won’t be tuning in again.
So it wasn’t great – but it has amazing scenery, Zach Gilford and Mamie Gummer, and that noble docs meet abundant romance thing I love. I’ll keep watching for sure.
You need more than a nice background to make a good TV show.
Come on people. it’s only the first episode! Your as bad as the networks.. If a new show doesn’t steal the whole tv audience in the first two shows, they cansel the program. Give “Off The Map” a chance to build on the first episode..Then, if you still don’t like it—-change channels!!
The glowing algea has to be the coolest thing. I loved this show and will for sure keep up with it.
That was pretty cool, and a very sweet scene.
lol I worked on the glowing algea
For the show? I’ve seen it for real at Laguna Beach. The waves glowed from the algae.
Yeah for the show. The real stuff is amazing!
Patronizing Americans helping the grateful backward natives, a sassy local boy with an oddly perfect command of English, beautiful people who can leave their suffering behind while in a tropical location — what horrible cliche did they miss? Blech! Awful!
@Trying to recover from it: Right on!
Exactly!
How about the young superhero doc? Knows the answers for everything. The only thing missing was his cape (which would have looked awesome when he was flying down the zipline).
I will keep watching just because I love Zach Gilford.
I love him too, but i do not like his character in Off the Map. It’s soo dull compared to Saracen
I know. I had some hope for this because of Zach Gilford, but it was so bad. I guess I’ll have to stick to my FNL DVDs.
30inventionman on July 10, 2011 @wnpp60706 how do you figgure. Guy statrs working out because gym is closed, so that is what it has to do because it is a result. u idiot
Haha! And I’ll keep watching because I was a huge fan of Caroline on Wonderfalls
Don’t really know what to take from this article or some of the comments.. I thought it was great. I think were all trying to mirror this show into what a soap or every other show should be like. Have you ever thought that there might possibly be Doc’s out that that fit these models??? of course you didn’t, instead are critical of these actors and do not even give the show a chance 20 minutes into it. In case you were not aware this show is about medicine, more so practicing medicine in a underserved community (or country) for that matter) in which tropical diseases do exist on a normal basis, as opposed to what we have here in North America. I think it is very unique, and shows individuals a different culture as it pertains to medicine.
I don’t think they are complaining about the premise or saying that people like this don’t exist, I think they are saying either way it was boring/cheesy/stupid. The only way they appear to want to make it into something else is to make it better. Perhaps rather than portraying the docs as gods who have bestowed themselves on people beneath them they could portray them in less cliche and trite manner and also show that although the people receiving the medical help need it, they have equal value as human beings. Also, something is either unique or not unique, there is no “very” unique.
But don’t most docs have a god complex?
Every one sounds like they are over thinking TV shows. You either liked it or did not. I mostly like shows by the vibe of the characters. Great show!
The reason we have crap TV now a days is BECAUSE people have stopped thinking.
Ahem, Jersey Shore.
Good advice, this show is not compatible with human brain function. “Guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue…” Ah, now I see. *The Vibe* is much better. Look, pretty people on the beach….
I went in with low expectations (not quite as low as Ken’s apparently) and it was better than I thought it would be. For one thing…it’s not Grey’s, and there is no Meredith (so far at least). The people seem likable (again…so far), and the scenery is gorgeous. It was a little distracting when Martin Henderson’s accent kept popping up though. Was he supposed to be American? Wish they would just let him have his NZ accent. I will tune in again… just to see the guy with the snake!
The fact that is isn’t Grey’s and there is no Meredith is a good thing for some of us.
That was the only reason I watched it. It seems people who love Grey’s hates this show. Those who hate Grey’s…don’t mind it.
I don’t think this will be a success. These doctors are about as believable as models. This is a bad cross between Grey’s and Lost, but what made those shows successful were/are engaging storylines and actors that could/can carry the show. Neither is the case here. What a disappointment after all the hype!
nothing like lost. just the same scenery. lost is sci/fi fantasy thriller. this is medical drama. lost is the best show ever created, this show cant even be compared to losts amazingness. needless to say i would rather watch the disney channel than watch this crap
I liked Lost as well but it had so many flaws that it can’t be considered “the best show ever created.”
I liked Lost as well but they got rather full of themselves building a mythology that ended up being meaningless and senseless. They couldn’t choose if they wanted to be a drama or a sci-fi or a mix and it really hurt the show. It was not the best show ever created.
Disappointed LOSTIES….rewatch the entire series start to finish on DVD and see how you feel. I promise you, a lot if not all of your disappointment will go away. Also a better way to spend time than watching this drivel!
Lost is not the best show ever, not even close
I wouldn’t let Lost scrape the chewing gum off off The Wire or Firefly or Buffy or MASH or Masterpiece or Deadwood or Terriers or BSG’s boot.
Hell, I wouldn’t let Lost get a rusty trombone from Night Court. Okay, I would, but I would make the first season of Lost watch and learn how first seasons can go SO bad.
LOST at least had an ethnically diverse cast: where’s the Latino American doctors who speak fluent Spanish?
yes, sorry vinky, probably won’t be able to go mmiswing with you this weekend. i take your advice, will hold my tasks tonight to deal with this first.btw, i am way behind study progress. the way they teach taxation is very messy, or maybe i am just dumb. if i can’t manage to get a clue by this week, i may need your help. appreciate to have you around my good friend.
You’ve hit the ball out the park! Inrdceible!
