Lost
Has anyone been watching this?
I just discovered this show like 2 weeks ago or so, and it is AMAZING! Wednesday's episode was very good. No new episodes for another 3 weeks though ah well.

I watched the first episode the other night when they ran a repeat of it and I really liked it. I guess I'm going to watch it from now on because I've got to know what happens.

I'm a Lost fan, but it irritates me about how they keep showing reruns! I know it's expensive to produce a show, but come on! They could at least just make the season shorter. So do you guys have any ideas/ theories about the events on the show?

I'm gonna put my two cents in and then I'm going to leave: I think LOST is just another silly 'prime-time drama'. The only things worth watching are reruns of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'Seinfeld'. K, I'm done. Fans, to 't again!

I enjoy Lost quite a bit. At first I thought it was entertaining but you really had to suspend your grip on reality. Then it was slowly revealed that there's something magical about the island.
Plus Mira Furlan's in it! She's the crazy French woman. (Though I keep thinking "Delenn has a shotgun!!" )

I like all of the characters except that girly one whose stepbrother just died. I'm annoyed that Said and she are an item, because I like him. :s I wish it had been her they'd offed.
What do you think "the number" means/ what is its significance or connection to these events? |

Why do you think that Rosie Gamgee? The shows you list as being the only thing worth watching are in different genres - they are sitcoms. Is your avatar of that crazy chick from "Firefly" ?
Lost is fantasy, drama, sci-fi, action, all mixed in one. Lost is very well written and well done. It gets you thinking.

Boone DIES!? Nooooo Boone is cool. But Sayid is my favourite character. (Not just because he's really good looking! ) I also really like Merr- Charlie, and Hurley. SPOILER for early in the season When Charlie and Claire were kidnapped and Charlie was dropping those finger bandage things to try to leave a trail, did anyone else think, "The bandaids of Lorien do not fall lightly"? EDIT: There's two Babylon 5 connections to this show. Mira Furlan I already mentioned, but also the Korean guy (Sun's husband) is played by Daniel Dae Kim, who was Lt. John Matheson in Crusade.

I thought he'd be the first to go, but I guess he provides some dramatic tension.
My favorites are Sayid (yum), the black guy (yum), Dominic Monaghan (yum), Claire, the Korean woman, and Boone (dead ). I also love the bald guy's and Hurley's characters -- excellently portrayed -- as well as the obligatory "bad" guy (Sawyer). I accept Jack and the "main" woman as necessary, but am not crazy about either one (the actors are good, but you know me, I prefer a guy with some flaws, and that woman is just too skinny and perfect* ). But then, you have to have a hero and a love interest. The French woman provides some interesting possiblities, also. As you can see, I haven't remembered everyone's names yet. * That's my major criticism of the show -- that, besides Hurley, every passenger who is a main character is perfectly fit, very thin, and great looking (even Claire, who looks nothing like your average woman 9 months pregnant, aside from the belly. No bloating, no chunky thighs, etc). |

I like Kate (main woman). She's not perfect - she's a former criminal who doesn't trust anyone. I liked her quite a bit until she kissed Sawyer. Sawyer is the good-looking obligatory bad guy, but what was she thinking! Bah. (I know she thought he'd tell her where Shannon's asthma medicine was, but she didn't have to kiss him that long, or enjoy it that much. )
Jack... well, he doesn't know how to do CPR. And he's a doctor. But that's probably a script writing oversight. (Never bend the elbows. I don't care how strong you are, you don't have enough force to pump someone's heart through their breastbone with just your forearms.) Locke = bald guy with all the knives. He is pretty cool alright. I also like the dynamic between Michael (the black guy) and Sun (the Korean woman). They are just plain cool. I want to see more of Sun's backstory.

I have seen all the episodes yet. Genius series. I think it i very good. It's only to the 14 ep or something here in Norway, we're a bit behind the states. (but I have seen up to ep 20..)

I did not catch it in the beggining and I am not willing to jump in the middle of the series. (Same with 24--Although I may catch 24 on DVD to get caught up)

Lost is my favourite show ever. The episode in which Boone died and Turnip Head was born is my favourite so far.
Superb editing, cinematography, score. And an intriguing story with interesting characters to go with it. |

Been enjoying this show as well - good to know that there are still high-quality shows bein' produced as well instead of those asshat fat-camp biggest-loser donald trump-type shows.

I watched the first five or so episodes of Lost but have stopped watching it in the past few weeks (the show only started a few months ago here.) I am somewhat geekily thrilled when they mention Australia and when you hear an Aussie accent actually spoken by an Australian.

John, you shouldn't call yourself names.
Well, we just got the Lotto episode over here - it seems that despite the progression of the series, things are getting MORE mysterious, as opposed to less mysterious. The plot thickens, eh wot?

I like how they show bits of everyone's life "before." I like Hurley, anyway, and that was a fun episode that added intrigue. Wonder what the numbers mean. Hurley line from the season finale:
What did everyone think of the season finale? I was out of town and had to tape it, so I just got to see it. I really liked it -- very suspensful, and yet not so much that it will irritate me to wait for next season. I REALLY liked the twist that

great season finale.... hey bop i'm surprised that you haven't just been downloading the epiosdes as they air in the states - that's what I would have done.
Finale doesn't really answer any questions, just raises dozens of new ones. But still really cool spoiler comments on finale and stuff
