LOST

[klr]

So why do you hang around at Ratz?
...

I come here for the cheese , but I stay here for the drama - tightly rationed of course.

Seriously: I really enjoyed the first season, but as the second season wore on, I got this sinking feeling ...

I know what you mean. I was the same with Land of the Giants. A great show but after a while, you just knew it was never going to end. (I completely missed all of the McCarthy era witchhunt subtext at the time as well - I would love to watch a few episodes now - might go hunting for torrents...)

I've stuck with it but mostly out of habit. I hardly pay attention when it's on anymore.

[Pappa]

I watched the first few series, but after that I just lost interest. I don't particularly like the constantly unfolding mystery format... unfortunately it's been replicated in other shows that I would otherwise appreciate... like Heroes. Maybe I'm being cynical, but the format seems to be there just to keep people hooked in the franchise.

[cowiz]

It's totally lost on me. Watched a couple and just wasn't interested. So it's "meh" from me.

[Mysturji]

I used to love it. It got a bit silly in the last series, now I'm intrigued again and reserving judgement.
I'll be very disappointed if it all just one of Hurley's cheese-fuelled dreams.

Lost fell into the same trap that most American television show's fall into: Too many episodes, too much pointless filler and too dragged out, all to make some extra cash.

[Rum]

I think it is lazy garbage. The plot is clearly audience response led and the plotline panders to that. That is like Picasso painting by numbers.

[Mysturji]

The writers/producers said at least a couple of years ago that they always knew where it was going and there were always intended to be 6 series.

But I'll be extremely fucked off if it all ends up as a biblical analogy with the island being eden, Jacob being god and the smoke monster as the devil.

Not correct. They said originally it was going to be 3 series long. That's why I was so pissed off when they said they were going to extend it.

They said at the beginning that they already had the ending and it was locked in a safe somewhere.

As for whether it will be a Biblical analogy? I really don't care at this stage.

[Chinaski]

Saw season 1, got hooked, then bored when it ended with more open plotlines than Pirates of the Caribbean 2. So fuck off.

+1 The whole format and style are just to keep the viewer hooked to sell them ads IMO. They have absolutely no substance to them at all.

LOST: 1 story and a coherent plot.

I thought I was good for a season then I realised it was just going to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and Be honest they just kept it open ended and milked it for every series they could !

It's just to sell advertising.
