LOST on Earth 2
First posted on MySpace on May 9th, 2006
As you can see from my last Blog I'm currently watching Earth 2. It's a show most people have never heard of. It was on NBC briefly for about 20 episodes in the mid-90's. I loved it back then and got the DVD for Christmas from my man. I watch two episodes a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I do my more vigorous workouts.
Thursday I was shocked when a new character was introduced. It was LOCKE! As in Terry O'Quinn. When I first saw LOST he seemed so familiar, and oddly evil. I have no idea why I never liked him much until now. He plays a not so good guy on Earth 2 and my subconscious knew it.
The LOST connection to a show from a decade ago doesn't end there. Clancy Brown who plays John Danziger on Earth 2 was recently in a LOST episode. He was in the Sayid episode where he learns to torture. You may remember him as the American General guy who lets Sayid go in the end.
The premise of the show is basically a group from the future needs to go to a new planet because the kids are all getting sick living in the space stations and Earth is not an option. So the group strikes out for "Earth 2", yeah they actually called it that. But they crash into the planet instead. At first they think they're alone but soon discover "Beings" on the planet who are very mysterious. They also discover that although they think they're the first humans on the planet they're not. A penal colony was sent there 15 years earlier by the very government who planned the crash of their spaceship (this is where Locke comes in.)
The whole thing stinks of LOST. Maybe that's why I like both shows so much. I'm excited to see what else matches.
