SunnyO TV # 2 - Destination Lost

WTF?

I kept expecting Gilligan to turn up.

So we rushed & failed to get dinner ready in time & ended up in front of the TV eating off trays...

...expecting a Lost special telling us what had happened in the first season. And it was pretty incomprehensible, but I explained to the viewing team that the show had a reputation for being innovative & edgy & this incomprehensible flashback show was probably intended to be that way.

Then it ended & the real recap began in somewhat more linear fashion. Maybe I read the Listener wrong. Anyway, we then realised we'd just watched the final episode of season 1.

So we settled back down, having done the dishes during the ad breaks.

And still... I can't get over the feeling we've seen it all before - Gilligans Island meets Twin Peaks? Or is that too easy? Anyway, it's not quite right. Gilligan's Island meets the Twilight Zone.

In the end, it's doubtful we'll tune in for season 2. So maybe scratch that one off the list.

Interesting to note that while Gilligan didn't appear, Mira Furlan from Babylon 5 did.
