This sounds bad. Hope someone has information to cancel my assumption that Lost World is currently in trouble Re the ratings.I should have read this post before answering Chiara's.
I'm a week behind, so I have yet to see the new pilot.The writers didn't by chance draw on anything from the actual Roy Chapman Andrews Expeditions I suppose? No specially built cars equipped with Lewis guns, run - ins with war lords, all that good stuff before actually reaching the base of the plateau? No? Well ... one could hope.
They added two MORE girls? As in a total of 4?Steve Faust : According to TV Guide, The Movie Channel is showing our TLW pilot this week. I checked it out, thinking it might be the DirectTV version or something. :-) : Turns out it's the Patrick Bergin version that takes place in 1934 Monogolia, but with our beloved Michael Sinelnikoff as Summerlee! : Didn't have much to do with Doyle's work. Lifts from Jurassic Park, and outright blatent theft from The Land That Time Forgot. Okay dinos.
: Added 2 women, one they take with them, one they find there (hmmm, sounds familiar). They get to the plateau on a hot air balloon (sounds familar again). Challenger is a liar and a thief, Roxton is some sort of criminal, Summerlee is, well, er, dino chow. : I like the one we've got better. :-)
