Lost

tracy	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 12:24 AM if i start a 'lost' thread, will people chat with me about it? man, i love that show. . .
JamesThomson	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 6:35 AM Lost is awesome. The problem with chattin about is that you might be a couple of episodes ahead of me and give the game away.
tracy	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 9:13 AM ahhhh, damn, ok. let me know when you're caught up!
EvilPicnic	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 9:15 AM Ahhhh... please don't... In the UK we're only a quarter of the way through series 2...
Svensta	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 9:35 AM I'm all caught up! I hereby sanction this thread to ruin it for all those other slackers who haven't seen when Michael.... and then when Hurley.. You know.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:24 AM Lost is one of those shows that started so well, but just started getting so ridiculous (and it's time got changed here in Canada, making me forget about it) that after a few episodes in the 2nd series, I just lost interest. And even if they repeated it during the crappy summer season, I don't think I'd bother to watch. Anyway, just an opinion, it was definately a fresh and exciting show in the 1st series...
kingo	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:30 AM The 2nd series is pretty great, too, Leeds... there were a few episodes in the early part of the season that were as you're saying, but it picked up again.
imemine	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:34 AM Kill your television! The ultimate electronic lobotomy!
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:51 AM How credible will a 3rd series of Lost be? Some shows are so intense that they are better off having 1 or 2 great seasons and then finishing so you remember it as an awesome program. You don't want to become like Survivor etc, a show that should have been finished 3 seasons ago or more and is becoming more lame and desperate than Muhammad Ali's comeback fights became and losing a slew of viewers with every passing season. And I hate to say it because I love it, but ER has also gone a couple of seasons beyond it's sell by date (even though I will probably still watch it as it has nothing competing against it of note in it's 10 pm timeslot) Grey's Anatomy and House are 2 of my recent fave shows.
kingo	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:55 AM I hate these threads. Taste is relative, my friend. Survivor continues to be what survivor has always been, and it's a great show. I also don't appreciate the cliche "electronic lobotomy" remarks about TV. It is what you make it; just like books. Just like the internet.
Svensta	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:55 AM Don't just discount teevee entirely, Ime, because it is the fabled idiot box. You'd be shocked at the range of actually decent, thought-provoking things you can find if you look hard enough. Lost is almost a little Mystesque, once you choose to ignore the relationship aspect of things. Never discount an entire medium though. Much like people formerly discounted digital music. You'd be surprised if you looked around.
kingo	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 10:57 AM Svensta -- nicely put.
imemine	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:08 AM All true---but look folks. All you have to do is to check ratings to see what the public is watching and most is absolutely mind wash. For example---more people voted for the American Idol that has EVER voted in a presidential election. It can be what you make it---unfortunately most people do not exercise that ability!
Alecs	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:11 AM Lost is a true stroke of genius, folks. I'm shitting my pants (not literaly, mind you) waiting for Season 3.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:19 AM To me, reality shows are only good for 2, maybe 3 seasons, and then it's 'been there, done that' - even shows like The Amazing Race, the focus is more about the scraps anf fighting the pair have than the amazing world scenery etc. Not to mention stuff like Bad Brother or The Bachelor(ette) etc. once you've seen it for a while, everything just repeats itself. That's how I feel about Survivor but appreciate people will agree/disagree/couldn't care less about my opinion, so I'll leave it at that. TV in moderation is fine, but too much can rot the brain - still, you could say computer and internet have this effect too. Anyway, the opinion comment reurvivir above applies here too, tv shows are like music we get all hyped up about our favourites and tend to be defensive if someone criticizes what we like and it's just human nature to be that way...
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:20 AM I meant big brother - Freudian slip
kingo	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:47 AM Hehehe... I thought "Bad Brother" was an intentional thing. That's funny. Ime -- LAY OFF AMERICAN IDOL. Ugh. Also, that's a complete mis-representation of the truth, the thing about more people voting for the final than have ever voted for president. The winner of the show received more VOTES than any Presidential winner. That's a meaningless statistic because a person can vote as many times as he or she wants to vote for Idol. If you could stand in the ballot box pushing the button, or pulling the lever, over and over on election day, there'd be a lot more votes cast for President.
imemine	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:48 AM I'm out!
kingo	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:53 AM WELL WHAT FUN ARE YA, THEN?
Dexter	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:54 AM Lost interest during episode 7, season 1 TTFN.
TameasDust	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 12:59 PM I thought you were on Lost rh
Dexter	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 1:03 PM Yes I have a washboard stomach to go with my swimmer's build... Now: where would you like me to put my stethoscope?
GeneHilbert	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 1:41 PM Never watched it..... I've no interest in it. Dramas bore me – I have no time for them unless they are scientifically oriented. History Channel, Discovery Channel...... represents the bulk of my TV viewing time.
Distilled1	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 1:48 PM " id="224150">
JamesThomson	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 2:24 PM I would like to destroy my tele but it doesn't control my life too much so i'll live with it. and I hate reading it soooo tedious and I can't play my guitar or drums very late in the evening
GeneHilbert	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 3:23 PM I once sold my television, so I didn't own one. Can't watch it if you don't have one. All I did for a year was come home from work and play and write and record.
shadowself	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 8:49 PM My TV is dusty. I use it for my PS2, but I have not even played that in months. However, I do watch (download) Lost. Yes, it's a drama, but there is a good chunk of sci-fi in there too, and it is something that television has needed for a long time - a show that makes people think. It's like solving an ongoing puzzle. It gets people's brains racing.
TameasDust	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:42 PM Most of what I watch on TV is science or history ... for sports its Nascar and the tour de france ... reality shows have 'Lost' their edge and are the same ole same ole now.
shadowself	Date: June 3, 2006 @ 11:52 PM Lost is NOT a reality show! I hope that's not what you were thinking. I know a couple of people who avoided it because they thought it was a Survivor clone or something. The only thing that it has in common is that it is set on an island, but that is as far as it goes. It's pure fiction, and pure mindfuck.
TameasDust	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 12:06 AM Oh I know that ... "Lost" is a soap opera ... someone elses idea of a fun time
K3VIN	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 12:07 AM its nto a soap opera either
shadowself	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 12:07 AM I will admit to that - it's a soap that guys can watch without feeling fairylike. And it's definitely not a show to pick up halfway through. Watching it from the beginning is the only way to go, or you will be confused as hell.
shadowself	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 12:09 AM It's a similar idea, K3V... each episode is tied into the next and it tells an ongoing story instead of the episodes being stand-alone. You could watch Seinfeld out of order and not feel like you missed anything, but you have to watch Lost in order.
tracy	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 9:07 AM the last 5 episodes or something-------
JamesThomson	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 10:46 AM I often prefer stuff like Seinfeld because i can just randomly watch them whilst eating my lunch and it's pretty entertainin. but i still give lost credit because I watch it every week. Although i disagree about it being a soap as they are about random peoples lives and are generally crap
EvilPicnic	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 11:23 AM Lost is about random people's lives (on a desert island) and is generally crap... But still, like other soap operas, it hooks you despite this because we're all too curious to give up, and there's the chance that next weeks will be better.
JamesThomson	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 12:29 PM That's a good point. I mean are just about average lives: e.g. someone might get married in one episode and divorce the next. Not all of us crash on a desert island and then get hunted by some weirdos everyday.
thesoloer	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 3:04 PM I dislike television shows like lost because I think that many shows out of hollywood are bad. I tried watching lost a long time back but it wasnt that great but the episode was good but I was expecting something else. I mean, that's true, most shows get old after the third season, unless you're watching the simpsons.
kingo	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 3:07 PM Yes, the simpsons got old after 2 seasons.
JamesThomson	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 3:10 PM I used to love the simpsons but it just seems like a kids show now. Stick with futurama or family guy
jack	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 7:54 PM Kingo:
Opossum	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 4:14 AM Strangely enough, "Lost" is the only show I ever really watch other than "Supernatural".
JamesThomson	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 7:39 AM wtf is supernatural?
Svensta	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 8:15 AM A couple of (unimportant) thoughts on this thread: James: I do agree with you about the self-contained episodic nature of some shows. That is why I catch about 3 episodes of Law and Order a month. You can just watch a single episode and wander off for a week or month, who cares what happens otherwise. James again: I can't understand HOW you or anyone can not see Simpsons as genius. Funniest recent moment were the wanted posters for Peter Griffin and the American Dad character, wanted for plagurism. Gold! Lost: It does have the soap opera component, because yes, the public likes that. But the puzzles are overlaid for the other group of people, who like those things. Its rather well done, even as it is starting to trip itself up. It's David Lynch with some Knots Landing mixed in. And terrific production value.
JamesThomson	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 10:40 AM Sven: 1.glad you agree 2. I used to love the simpsons to bits I have 2 series' on dvd and a few videos and some posters. I even watched it every night but I've come to find i've seen all the episodes on tele I have seen before and there is nothing much better in the more recent episodes. Also I don't know who davis lynch is
K3VIN	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 11:45 AM i found season 10-13 the funniest ones
Opossum	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 12:15 PM "Supernatural" has two brothers going around getting rid of ghosts, demons, etc. Big hit here. In fact, some episodes they show two or three times in a row on different nights. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460681/
litesenseative	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 2:27 PM there is no plane its all a big brother scientific experiment on massive scale............. at least that is a possibility
JamesThomson	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 6:12 PM Big brother is a horrible brain washing program that despite the fact i watch it, i hate it. The supernatural thing sounds quite cool tho
shadowself	Date: June 5, 2006 @ 6:30 PM I thought at first it was all an experiment inside their heads and that nothing was actually happening. Until the last episode with those guys monitoring the electromagnetic anomalies from the antarctic. That island is somehow accessible to the "real world".
AgentMGD	Date: June 6, 2006 @ 8:47 PM Footballers Wives is better Tanya Turner is an absolute bitch
ShadowMom	Date: June 6, 2006 @ 9:04 PM This thread explains why no one is on DMusic on Wednesday nights... Me, too!!
TameasDust	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 1:10 AM I watch OLN on Wednesday nights
JamesThomson	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 5:07 AM Lost was cool last nite ('I'm In England So it's on, on Tuesdays).
Alecs	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 10:43 AM "For example---more people voted for the American Idol that has EVER voted in a presidential election." Just a little side note here, but many people voted a ridiculous amount of times for American Idol. More VOTES were entered, it isn't just that more PEOPLE voted.
kingo	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 11:11 AM I already said that. GET WITH THE PROGRAM, HERE.
tracy	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 5:55 PM I'm still waiting for a public apology from the producers of "Models Inc." for not revealing who was killed in the season finale many years ago. yes, their show was taken off the air for sucking, but they could have atleast sent me a little cartoon explaining what happened. was it the kid? was it the groom? sigh, i guess i'll never know. . .
K3VIN	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 6:02 PM i only have basica cable now... w00t lol no mroe tv watching for me
shadowself	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 6:25 PM I don't even have cable (aside from Internet). My TV is only used for my PS2 and the occasional DVD. I download the episodes of Lost from the net.
hantu	Date: June 7, 2006 @ 8:40 PM
Intergalacti...	Date: June 11, 2006 @ 7:36 AM They're gonna make this show as long as possible and make it go over about 7 series' until the ratings start droppin then they're gonna end it straight away money grabbin bastards
