I have to disagree here. I want to like this show... I really do. But it comes off to me like the writers are trying far too hard to be the next "Lost" rather than be a good show on its own. The writing comes across as bland and boring, both in dialog and plot. They haven't been able to make me care about a single character on the show with the possible exception of the Japanese teleporter/time freezer Hiro (Side note - is it just me or is there a fun Snow Crash reference with this character?)
I really went into this show with high hopes... the premise could make for a great show. Instead, it just seems like it is trying way too hard to be brilliant, and ended up being mediocre. I haven't given up on it; I'm still watching hoping it changes my mind.
