It's not that I have high hopes for it, it's more of a filler for me until Lost comes back. It has been heralded as the 'new Lost', what with it having an ensemble cast and many of the same actors. From what I've seen though, they're being too ambitious and are snatching key techniques from Lost which smacks of desperation somewhat.
I agree that a 21 year flash-forward would've been cooler, but I reckon the scope would've been too massive to hold the attention of the average ABC watching mongoloid.
I'll keep watching, like, but I'm disappointed already. It's cool to see Brandon Braga's name on the writing credits and the guy wot wrote the book will be scripting a few of the upcoming episodes too, I'm informed.

Here chavix, have you ever read a comic called 'Logicomix' about Bertrand Russell?

Haven't read any of them, Skweeks but they seem interesting enough.
Quote:
Covering a span of sixty years, the graphic novel Logicomix was inspired by the epic story of the quest for the Foundations of Mathematics. This was a heroic intellectual adventure most of whose protagonists paid the price of knowledge with extreme personal suffering and even insanity. The book tells its tale in an engaging way, at the same time complex and accessible. It grounds the philosophical struggles on the undercurrent of personal emotional turmoil, as well as the momentous historical events and ideological battles which gave rise to them.
The role of narrator is given to the most eloquent and spirited of the story’s protagonists, the great logician, philosopher and pacifist Bertrand Russell. It is through his eyes that the plights of such great thinkers as Frege, Hilbert, Poincaré, Wittgenstein and Gödel come to life, and through his own passionate involvement in the quest that the various narrative strands come together.

Had a quick looksee on some of the comic sites but it seems nobody has scanned it yet.

I hope you're referencing The Office USA. Or the original source which The Office USA referenced.
