Lost sucks

[ACman]

Im watching an episode of lost, trying to figure out what kind of acft it is. I got to see a interior shot, looks like 767/boeing windows. But the overhead bins in the center set of seats is from a 747. yet, the aircraft has no upper deck. another thing is, in the center Over head stowage bins, theres lights in the center that are like slourecent tubes, and no air and F/A call buttons. the scft is 8 abreast. Its not a A300 or 310, not even Airbus.

The spoilers have some lines/pertruding groves on them. When the plane was going down, oxygen masks dropped YET there was no decompression. They (survivors) went back to the nose section of the aircraft. The cockpit apears to give the sense its a DC-10, yet NO Flight Engineers seat. Also, the cockpit is ANALOG. The overhead panl has no switches for 1 foot of the first section. The engines apear to be RR RB211 524B, the ones on the L1011.

So what is this plane? a Seven-six-a-ten-elleven-three-ten-d-c-ten?

It doesnt make sense how some parts are intact, and people are alive. In real life, NOBODY would survive in a violent crash like this.

does it matter?

Besides if you want to nit pick that means your not watching the show! Your missing a lot.

Shut up and watch a good show

your right, but when a plane show comes on, Im one of those people that likes accuracy, otherwise this is what happens!

I'll admit your right that they obviously put no thought into what kind of plane they were going to use for the accident because they simply use clips from different types of aircraft.

Also nobody would survive a mid-air breakup of an aircraft like they showed in the first few episodes. Everyone would simply fall to their deaths.

The point of the show however isn't about how the plane crashed, its about how they survive on the island. If you haven't noticed this show is completely based on the book 'Lord of the Flies' (many of the charater names are even the same), and saying the show sucks based strictly on what kind of plane is used isn't exactly fair because the main plot is very good I think. Every show has some unrealistic parts to it, it is impossible for a show to have every detail absolutely perfect. I feel that Lost has done a pretty good job of getting the details right with a few exceptions.

While I'm talking about exceptions to details one that I noticed was in the first episode when the guy is sucked up by the engine that is somehow still running on the beach. That engine would have to be running at a very high power setting to suck a man up from 30 feet away and IMO the engine could not be at take-off power while sitting on a beach. Once again though, this is only my opinion. Feel free to contradict it if you feel i'm wrong.

I agree with Dave, But My teacher who watches this show, I told her No one would survive, she said "Yes, but thats the mystery of the island!"

[Airbus_A320]

Never actually seen Lost... but the best show IMO is Arrested Development. That show is simply hillarious

Teachers like to sound smart.

[pilotgolfer]

well, thats hollywood for ya. 99.999999999% of the time they get it wrong and only people like us can really tell.

[ATrude777]

the main aircraft for the show is a L1011 by Delta Airlines.

I agree.... I was watching Crossing Jordan a few weeks ago, they showed a citation on the ramp..... when they went inside it miraculusly turned into a gulfstream, or somthing bigger with rounded windows...... imagine 6 people in a citation, standing up and walking around the couches.... hahahah.....

I like the show, the characters are done quite well. I hope it doesn't twist into some kind of weird super-natural thing. That usually ends up so cheesy.

LOST is hands down the best show on network TV right now. I did notice 1 error not related to the plane. Supposedly everyone in first class died. But Charlie was in first class when the plane crashed because he was followed up there by the F/As when he was having his drug withdrawls. He obviously survived.

[ACman]

The show is good, but the plane stuff isnt. Thats what I was trying to say.

[cal99]

I like the show, havent missed an episode yet..

give em a break, its a network tv show. If it were a multi million $ movie, then it would be bad.

Good catch!
