Shot mostly in my hometown of Vancouver BC...Canada, not SF. It was created by Jj Abrams of LOST’ fame and he wanted it to be as ridiculous as LOST. I like the immortal angle of the prison and the most obvious actually hasn’t been answered either: who were the idiots who miscast the blond chick and the fat dude? Sam neill always is great in anything on screen and made it bearable..

That's the main reason I never bothered even trying the show. LOST was the biggest, lamest con-job in TV history. I loved the first few seasons but it was mostly because the mystery had me going and it turns out mystery was just made-up crap. I probably won't ever watch a TV show by JJ Abrams again.

We have been wondering why so many series are shot in Canada, especially BC. Is it that much cheaper to shoot up there or is there just such a varied landscape available?

JJ Abrams seems to have a format he repeats in every series. Still, he can hook an audience, even if everything seems to run out of steam, eventually. I thought the ending for Lost was pure desperation. It is like many first novels or even high school creative writing projects: it was all a dream? What a disappointment.
