Lost on Mars

[urbeatle]

Tonight I saw two TV shows: Lost, which I've only recently gotten into, and the American version of Life on Mars, which I hadn't seen until tonight.

I did not like the American version of Life on MarsI haven't completely placed why, other than it doesn't seem to have the strength of the British version; it's like they're going through the motions

So, I don't know what they're planning, but I think that we'll definitely see stuff about the Others using the Island as their base for a very long time through history.

Hey, they used it back when humans only had four toes on each foot ;)

After last week's episode, I was worried they were going to have the crash survivors and scientists who were unstuck in time become the ancestors of the Others. But I think I was pretty off base with that. Up until this week, I was convinced Whidmore was also much older than he appeared, but that's no longer the case either.

As to Alpert not aging, I just assumed that the time distortion of the island keeps people from aging, acting like a fountain of youth, and that Alpert has only rarely left the island.
