There were 48 characters who survived the plane crash In the opening episode. As the seasons wore on, some died here and there to various causes but by no means did the plane crash kill everyone. In fact, as a minor spoiler, 6 of them manage to get off the island at the end od season 4 and return home - they were very much alive on that island. In fact, season four goes into why it was basically impossible for them to be rescued or get off the island themselves.
I can count on one hand the number of shows I watched in the last 5 years because I can’t stand much of TV these days either. Lost, 24, and Battlestar Galactica...I don’t think you would like any of them, but to me they beat shlock like American Idol and Survivor hands down.
I appreciate the info. Thanks.
So the island is an actual place on earth? It is not in “another life”?
I’ve never seen 24, and I’ve watched perhaps one or two episodes of BG (and you’re right, I didn’t care for the show).
I agree! (We have the same taste in television)
