O Mundo Perdido

I love this show but I cannot seem to find out when any new ones are on or if they are still making new shows. I just adore Will Snow, he is so heart melting. I like the range of characters and I hope that soon Veronica will find out what happened to her parents it would make an interesting 3 or 4 episodes. I like the romance between Roxton and Marguerite. It is light and heavy at the same time. I am waiting patiently for more things to happen and I hope that this series keeps going. It is a nice change from what is usually in a T.V.series. Thank you for letting me be able to voice a vote for a unique and enjoyable show.

Okay, picture the scene. It's Sunday morning. I've been on a 3 day bender.

Beer cans, whiskey bottles etc... all over the floor. I somehow open my eyes around noonish or so. Presuming I'm not injured which is not always the case, I turn on the tube. My spirits rise as I see what can only be described as "THE GREATEST SHOW EVER"...

I don't care that they seem to bump into groups of English speaking people on this supposed isolated plateau every episode. I don't care that they have a tree house that is protected from a T-Rex with a thin electric wire, I don't care that they seem to have a dry cleaner on the plateau since their clothes are always fresh and pressed, I don't even care that they never run out of ammunition even though they fire their guns at least 50 times an episode.

Have you seen the chicks on this show!? They rock! The only flaw I can see in this show is that there is no way Veronica would hook up with that loser Malone. Also I think that guy "Challenger" is pretty annoying too, and what was with the old guy Sumerlee? Those are my two complaints.

Thank you Lost World for easing my pain if only for an hour each week. I feel like I am betraying a loved one, but I must say I hope you never find your way off that Plateau...viewing your trials and tribulations makes the world a better place. I love you.

So far THE LOST WORLD is into its third season and awaiting a fourth. The characters have grown and so much has been developed by the wonderful actors involved it'll be tough when we eventually DO have to say goodbye.

Particularly interesting is the relationship between Lord John Roxton (Snow) and Marguerite Krux (Blakely) which started out rather rocky; a sort of steamy love-hate relationship into something very tender and sweeping. We know these two belong together even if they don't see it!

We've also seen depth develop in the other characters, pretty Veronica (O'Dell) the jungle-girl who eventually learned what happened to her parents, Ned Malone (Devry-Orth), the journalist who became more of a doer than a watcher and Professor Challenger (McCauley), who has learned by experience that science is not always the answer to all the questions in THE LOST WORLD.

Sadly, Professor Summerlee disappeared after the first season but his memory is kept alive in the show and if the watcher keeps close attention we get the idea that we may see him again some day. We also have a new character called Finn from the twenty first century. She's cute and perky but the jury is still out on her. She has to serve a purpose but what that is we just don't know yet.

All and all, a terrific show!!

This is one of those films that 'Oscar' lovers will tear apart. Well, ignore their reviews. It wasn't made of them. Those of us who love this genre will be entertained, and left wanting more.

There is only one reason to stare at this: JO. And the character is appealing: she is "nice". Good lesson for dreadful TV producers like Rick Berman. More good points: great sense of humour in the writing and directing. Good casting. Good production values technically. Bad points: Far too violent, and in the non self-reflective way. Our heroes slice and dice all manner of life forms and this feels very good to them, which is a very bad example to set for children from the ages of 2 to...(how old are Cheney and the Bushboy?)...99. Storylines? Apart from the aforementioned humour they are irrelevant. As I say, just get on your exercise bike/treadmill for an hour and stare at JO, who is "cheekily" photographed from every possible angle, in every possible bodily position, and often with fluids applied, like water whenever possible, bee honey, or green slime which she gently massages into her cleavage. What can you do, really?
