That swordfight looked incredibly badass and cinematic, those shots in NYC look super impressive, could be very good!

I'll give it a shot if it makes it to season 3.

Looks great. Characters don't really seem that interesting, but the setting and production values and premise are definitely intriguing.
The one thing LOST had was great characters in addition to incredibly engaging and compelling sci-fi nonsense. Every post-LOST sci-fi show has lacked this quality. Sure some shows like FRINGE have a great character or two, but nothing on par with the ensemble of LOST. That was LOSTs biggest strength.

Was I the only one sort of reminded of Book of Eli when he pulled out his sword?

He he I totally thought the same thing.

I had to lol at that too.
But I do love me some post-apocalyptic stuff, but this will probably be like Walking Dead in terms of the drop-off in quality from the pilot to series.

Show looks awful from the trailer. I too get the Terra Nova vibe. Will not watch.

I'm a little confused how you got poor characterization from an action-focused trailer.
(I think Revo has one or two really fun characters in its ensemble, but I need to see how the lead does in her role).

I'm holding out hope the show carries itself well after the pilot.
I'm sure the later episodes will have less expansive shots of dead city and more focused narratives. I don't think budget will be a problem if they do the story correctly.
It's an interesting premise, will have to see if the characters hold their own weight.

This looks bad, but maybe that's just me. The acting is really bad. Interesting concept besides the overweight nerdy guy having the locket that holds all the truth the dad downloaded.

They just all seemed lame, I dunno. Even Militia captain dude.
It was a plot/action trailer, not a character based one. That's why everyone talked like twice.

It's going to take a while for me to look at the uncle as any kind of hero.
He was the abusive husband/father in season 2 of 24...
It really is, and it makes me sad. Supernatural had a great 5 seasons.

I understand the focus of the trailer, yet I still think the characters look kind of stupid.
You don't just go around giving TV shows like this the benefit of the doubt. Trust me. I've been chasing the LOST dragon for years now. The characters in this show are going to be lame.

Then you're going to be watching the wrong show.
Sure, but when you watch a trailer explicitly designed to show a plot over character interactions, why would you expect to get any semblance of character? It's just a really silly thing to complain about given what's shown.
Not to make this a stealth Supernatural is awesome thread but you are right. I wonder if he stayed on, would have season 6 focused on the war in heaven.

The stuff they did show was super dumb, though. Showing more of it isn't going to magically fix this.
Whatever. I'll be here in September to eat some crow. But I gotta warn you, the characters in this show will probably be pretty lame.
They're okay. Two of them (fat guy and British chick) are fun. One more that's not in the trailer (older black lady) is also well done.

In all honesty didn't even watch the trailer or read the first post, just saw the word "Lost" ; )

Liking the Cast, music in that video preview.
Please don't let this end up like Terra Nova
I wish some of these shows would just go to USA Network, better chance of success.

Not impressed. Seems just like Jericho, the interesting stuff (the blackout) is only in the first episode, while the rest of the show is about the aftermath (the boring stuff).
That's more of an example of drop-off in quality after Season 1 and the rest of the show (which applies to The Walking Dead as well).

But then they'd have to change the formula to be about a quirky genius and his straight-laced buddy/partner solving crimes together.

People are fucking clean in this though post-apocalypse

Looks good, and I hope it last more than one season. Lost did it before so this might get lucky. I really do see the Hunger Game vibes.
Edit: Also it's good to see more Hollywood directors take an interest in TV.
