In the pilot episode, a group of American college students is ordered to come home from a trip to Southeast Asia that is plagued by several problems. However, the plane carrying the students back home is caught in a storm and crashes on Bomano Island, which at one time was a proposed nuclear test site. After the one surviving adult dies, the students decide that as long as they are on the island they will form their own society and try to avoid the mistakes the older generation made back home.
Richard Kiley's death scene goes on for what seems like the last half of the episode, and it may not be near the weirdest characteristic. It's indescribable viewing on another level, and beyond me how people hired to make TV programming decisions would think this would appeal to anyone but two kinds of people: miscreants and hermits. Then again, Aaron Spelling did spawn 90210 to the world....
