So This Is What Lost Is Like?

Oh word? Yeah I'm Good...

So I caught the first 20 minutes of the lost season premiere.  Mind you I have had minimal viewing experiences with 'the LOST' and have had it spoiled for me by several over zealous fanboys [and girl].  People come into the video store trying to sell me on this show, but in the same breath tell me the ins-and-outs of characters I know little to nothing about. Guys, if you want to sell me on a serial that looks to be sewned together by seals and balls with plot point words drawn on them [island, wheel, time machine]... try not telling me so much about a show that sounds very close to the plot of a Metal Gear Solid game.
