I do not see it as much as a variation of Lost as more of a variation of Battlestar Galactica. More of a Stargate Galactica. As they are trying to get to Earth and do not know where they are. Stargate Galactica seems a more appropriate name. The episodes are long and very slow right now. It does seem that you could cut it doen to a half hour and not miss anything of the story. I will give it a few more chances then move on.
