Well, I heard about it in my senior year of high school. I heard about it here. I have seen interesting tv trailers for a new season or something. Now my uncle says he watches it and it's good. I originally thought it was another soap opera or something. I just downloaded the first 2 episodes and I am floored by it. According to the website, it's in the fourth season. The background on the characters is creative and the minutes before the plane crash in a flashback is well done. The camera work, script work, everything is superb. It's like going to the movies or something and it's free on tv. To make things even more greater, there is Godzilla running loose and a polar bear on the island. Plus these French people were on the island 16 years ago. :eek: I have a lot of episodes ahead of me but I have missed out greatly.
 
Yep. I envy you.

It gets weirder and weirder and you just gradually get desensitized to weird stuff until you have the incredibly trippy, nonsensical fourth season.
 
enjoy the ride. word to the wise, however: watch out for spoilers!
 
You're in for a treat. A few oddities here and there but overall it's one of the best shows on TV in my opinion.

Ah, fantastic TV shows... how I wish I could delete areas of my memory sometimes and rewatch the series' fresh. Same for games, too. Lost really is one of those shows I'd love to just plough through in a weeks sitting without having to wait every other week for an episode like on TV/torrent download.

It's funny though, that when it first aired here in the UK I had no idea what it was, and my interest was only peaked when someone said ''yeah, it's about some guys stuck on an island, but theres this big monster there, too'' and that was it, I was hyped right there and then. Honestly though I had seen NO coverage, advertisements or reviews/previews from both USA or UK media outlets about the show. So glad I tuned in.
 
Had a feeling you guys were gonna say that! :P I'm like a kid in a candy store and I'm only on the 3rd episode. Some cop (idk his exact title) got a piece of metal in his chest. So the convict shot him with the only bullet left. He shot him in the lungs and I seriously lol'ed at the epic failure. I mean your on a deserted island, your target is on the ground inches away from death, and you have a gun with one bullet left. So he shoots him not in the head, not even the heart. :laugh:

Aye, that guy became unimportant pretty quickly...along with about half the other charachters.
 
I had the pleasure of watching the first three seasons on DVD, back to back. It was a great success.
 
Lost is a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success.

The polar bear dies :(
 
Were you in a coma or something? Seriously though enjoy, there are a few ropey episodes (jacks tattoos in the worst) but overall it's one of the best shows on TV (The Wire is better).
 
Yeah, it's very good. It lags a bit in Season 2 and early S3, but it picks up toward the middle/end and continues right through until S4 which has, thus far, been the best written season yet.
 
It definitely is a great series.
I didn't start watching it until last year.
It's quite the mind **** too.One mystery after another.
 
I haven't watched any of it yet.

I'm actually thinking of watching them all at once like I did with heroes first season. :o

To me it always seemed like a stupid type of show. I still don't know anything about it other than a group of people stranded on an island, a concept that seemed a little stale to me... like survivor meets Gilligan's Island. Heh.

Shows what I actually know about it. Nothing.
 
I thought it would be like that too. Then I watched it.
 
Lost is awesome, easily my favourite current TV show, maybe of all but I'll wait until it finishes before making that conclusion.
 
My eyes got a little watery with the disabled guy, Mr. Locke. Now on episode 5.

Jesus Christ, you need banned from life. Also, don't get too worried about the "godzilla" or the polar bear, since the writers soon ignore the interesting things such as those and focus on boring things towards the end of S1 and every season after that.

X-Files
Heroes
Lost
Prison Break
Sopranos
etc

Now go watch.
 
All other events, stories, characters, locations and happenings that occur half way into season 1 and then on after in to 2, 3 and 4 > stupid ''monster'' and polar bear.

Easily.
 
Although I do agree that the story has been taken in an interesting direction, still I find it rather retarded that now they wonder freely all over the damn island and the monster appears to have vanished without a trace...:rolleyes:.

Also if the monster is a shape shifting black cloud then what is up with those mechanical sounds it makes?

That's the thing, we'll never know, unless they randomly decide to explain all that, which would remove us from the current stories going on.
 
welcome to the club!
you're 2 fantastic episodes in and i can honestly say that it only gets better and better!
i started watching the show when season 3 has just concluded so i was able to watch it all at my leisure
my advice though: stay out of the "Lost Season 4" thread until you're caught up
 
I myself just found it as well. Just finished season 2 watching at least 4 episodes a day. Im early on in Season 3 now.

That was the episode that cemented LOST as "can't miss TV" for me. The way they handled Locke's big reveal was very well done.

What I appreciate most about the show is it's dedication to continuity. The producers have said repeatedly that every mystery that they introduce has an answer to it. Some mysteries take longer to reveal than others, but they are getting answered as the series moves along.

The show is in good hands.
 
More like hands that keep dragging it out so he doesn't loose his show that everyone loves because then he'll have nothing -_-

That's the great thing about this show.
You'll come to love and hate the characters eventually.
That's all i will say for now.

Yeah, JJ Abrams has nothing other than Lost.

Thanks for that pearl of wisdom.
 
Abrams gets way too much credit for LOST. It's all Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
 
Abrams was more involved in the conception than he has been recently, but Lindelf and him are the ones who developed the idea originally and Abrams came up with the supernatural angle.
 
Just finished season 1. This show has everything including HL elements. In a recent Games For Windows issue, Gabe and Abrams usually send e-mails with each other and talk about HL the article said. The G-Man was in the show, a flashback had people playing HL. Pretty cool show and at this point, I really don't care about the monster too much now. There is too much on the island to occupy you other than the monster. *Oh **** here we go again! The first 4 min of the 2nd season is soo cool! :E Had a feeling from the start it was a guy living in that bunker too.

hell yeah, I remember the Gman in LOST!

Hey, if he emails Gabe, maybe that scene was inspired by half-life?
 
I'm getting sorely disappointed with how this show is turning out. Everybody that was good, is now bad. That stupid countdown clock hit zero and started going bezerk too but Locke reset it! :flame: ;( Only complaint I can find with the show is people have to cry at everything like they are a bunch of emo's.
 
I'm confused now and this episode is making me feel weird. :( Season 2, episode 18 named "Dave". Is everybody fake and inside Dave's head? I hope this show doesn't turn into: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_the_Cheese Boy embarks on a quest to find his father but in reality, he is riding on a bike in a psycho ward, passing by people who knows, and he went crazy after mobsters tried to kill his family. :(
 
Dave isn't real, he's just in Hurley's head. And don't worry the show isn't turning into one of those "oh everything isn't real and it's all in someone's head" stories. They just want you to think that;)
 
Okay, so I am 7 minutes into the Pilot... and I rolled my eyes twice.

Once at the guy getting sucked into the turbine and it exploding... as well as the wing part or whatever it was falling down and everything also exploding.

What? I'm still enjoying it thus far.

What's wrong with rolling my eyes at those two things? They are incredibly hackneyed.

You do know they store jet fuel in the wings right?
 
I don't see what's so eye-roll worthy about those things, but meh.

I do roll my eyes at the total lack of information exchange sometimes. Every scene with a suspicious new character or thing follows a kind of predictable pattern.

Suspect: I'm trustworthy!

Jack: Then who do you work for?

Cue pregnant pause with ominous music playing. Jack and Kate trade concerned looks. Cut to commercial.

Then they'll take the total stranger, completely disregarding past experience, back to the beach to mull around for some time while the Losties pepper them with a few questions once in a while to no avail.
