Wow, did you see the premiere of ABC's Lost? I taped it and oh my head was this one of the most intense hours of television I've seen. Since it's JJ Abrams, I'm not surprised that I had a similar feeling as when I'd watched the Alias premiere, sans commercials and everything.
But what surprised me is that I felt like I was watching something more in touch with our early 21st-century reality than I could ever imagine any "reality show" being. This is a show, at least in its first episode, that is all about us, all about entering the new and scary world where the gods of the modern world, the world we have known, have failed.
