ricojes Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The LOST conversation were some of the best ever on OTW.... http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/12-highlights-from-the--lost--paleyfest-panel-054715551.html
mrags Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I remember when LOST started. I lived in Vegas and my roommate was like, dude, I recorded this first show, yiu have to watch it. I instantly got hooked. Was the first real show I ever made plans for to watch it. Now I have so many I'm hooked.
Cugalabanza Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It was a fun ride. You can complain about how all the crazy plot lines, alternate realities and mythological threads kind of came apart in the last season or so, but it was engrossing. I see the influence of Lost in many other shows since.

There's nothing like your first.....what a great show. And it was on network television nonetheless

I see the influence of Lost in many other shows since. I agree on the influence. It was the one show i record to just skip the commercials, but i always watched that night so i could read the interwebs the next day.Learned a lot, prolly all meaningless stuff, especially the first two years researching various theories.

And it was on network television nonetheless i watched them all but burned out before the show was done. It went on at least 1 season too long IMO. Funny how so many shows are like that. Makes me think of Dexter too. And honestly, I have no idea why they wouldn't have ended Homeland after Brody died. I know it's not about just him, but it really was the perfect ending for that show.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Seriously one of the greatest shows ever, that and Scrubs brought me back to TV, I had given up on how chitty it had become.
BillsFanM.D. Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Great show. I remember the posts on here were fantastic in terms of speculation/explanation.
UConn James Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It was a fun ride.

I never really got people who said they were still confused about this or that. I haven't done a rewatch yet. Maybe the 10-year anniversary would be a good start date. Still the most beautiful final ~10 minutes of a series on teevee, in my book.

I was certainly not a contributor on any big scale, but I read it religiously. I also agree with your final take. It did make sense in the end...and the latter portion of the finale, culminating with the shot of Jack's eye literally put a bookend on the entire thing. Great stuff.
unbillievable Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 ...and 10 years from now people will still be trying to get some answers from the writers. Lost was all about throwing out questions so the fanboys on the forums can theorize about what the hell they just watched. I curse you "Lost" creators!
plenzmd1 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 as others have said, i liked the ending..problem was there was still so many open questions. Kids in my daughters 9th grade class are watching the first season now..
Mark Vader Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 "Felicity" & "Alias" got J.J. Abrams recognition, but "Lost" made him a household name. Absolutely loved this show from start to finish.
FluffHead Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Anyone see the movie "this is 40"? The running joke with the daughter is that you can't watch just one episode of LOST. So true. I ripped through that show in a couple months on netflix. That's a lot of episodes
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 and I'm still not satisfied with the ending
Metal Man Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I agree that it was a fantastic ride but overall it was a little unsatisfying at the end for me. They eluded from the start that there would be one big answer that pulled it all together and I guess it just got too big to find a workable solution to every mystery. My personal theory is that originally the island was supposed to be purgatory and everyone was dead from the very start but seeing how just about everyone guessed that after the first season, and the because writers vehemently denied this, creative was forced to come up with something else that never really worked.
Mark Vader Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Great show. I remember the posts on here were fantastic in terms of speculation/explanation. Loved reading those posts on here. Reading everyone's theories about "Lost" on this board was fun.
