It's basically about the prisoners in Alcatraz suddenly just vanished and decades later they start showing up again, not having aged a day. So it's going to be a huge mystery with tons of questions.
Message boards are saying that the story line is too complicated and no one will understand it, it's going to get canceled. That's exactly what I like about LOST! I don't want to mindlessly sit and watch a show and expect to be entertained with sex/fart/fat jokes. The networks are supposedly all looking for "the next LOST", and they could all so easily have it. Just give us a show that we can THINK about!
