I doubt it will live up to the TV show.
Or how about the random commercial flights (14 000 of which are airborne EACH MOMENT) flying over the area ten times a week not seeing a football field sized wreckage and downed trees in a jungle.
And how does that fat guy not lose weight being several years in a jungle under SUPPOSED extreme conditions. Unless they landed with a pizza chef and years worth of cheese and meat he would become normal weight in a matter of a couple months.
To answer your questions:
- The plane (Oceanic Flight 815) was supposed to be thousands of miles off course when it crashed. The plane had lost radio contact, turned back towards Fiji, and encountered some kind of turbulence before crashing.
- There may or may not have been a locator beacon, but the show frequently suggests that the island is somehow invisible to the outside world, and that communication is being jammed. Basically there's something strange about the location that makes the recovery of the survivors difficult.
- One of the characters in season 3 parachutes onto the island with knowledge of the outside world. She suggests that the plane had indeed been recovered, but that everyone was accounted for and very dead. Her motives are unclear, but it certainly muddies the water a little bit.
- As for Hurley... well you make a few false assumptions there. For a start, they haven't been on the island for years or anything like it. Also the conditions haven't been that harsh in the sense you suggest - they had pretty good food supplies for a while actually. Some characters of the show have mentioned Hurley's weight not changing, and his response was that it'd take a while. A better explanation is that the show is a work of fiction - not a documentary - and the people on it are actors. You have to be willing to suspend your disbelief somewhat if you want to actually have fun and enjoy the show.
I've always seen the whole show as a desperate countermeasure to so called "reality tv".. they "survive" here too but there's a screenplay and real actors. That is why I assumed it to be realistic.
I hate "reality tv" like survivor and I also thought having a show about a crashed plane at the time was tasteless.
