Lost? I gave the show, on first contact, about 60 seconds - wrote it off as a waste of time and never looked at it again.

But, to be fair, about 99 percent of what is on cable, satellite and DVD disk, all falls into what I call 'junk TV.'

I'm 69 years old, and view most of today's pop culture - and 'entertainment' as despicable crap.

You’ve been infected. You’re now a commie. You should have known better than to buy those DVDs.

Nice going, tovarisch.

[Enchante]

gave it a try a couple of times, was bored to death, can’t tell you anything

[Gothmog]

I’ve read through most of your responses and you seem to be looking for a fight, for some reason, rather than an explanation.

Objectively, Lost was one of the best TV shows in recent memory. Subjectively (meaning IMHO) it was very good. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. If you feel compelled by your family to watch it then do so. If you want answers there are multitudes of web sites with video, discussion, etc., that would answer any legitimate questions you might have.

But I think that you just want to vent so please don’t bother to educate yourself, just blather on until you feel OK w/ yourself. Have a nice day.

Your problem is that you didn’t get “Burn Notice” (or maybe “Rubicon”), rather than “Lost”. (Actually, I guess Rubicon is still in it’s first season.)

What happens to Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Michael, Walt, Vincent, Charlie, Claire, Aaron, Rousseau, John Locke, Hurly? What happened to Jack's father? What is the source of the smoke and explosions in the jungle? What happened to Rose and Bernard?

You gotta watch the show to find out.

LOST is one of the siliest things I have ever seen on TV

As near as I can understand these people crash on a weird island with some supernatural properties and fall in love with it, and do stunningly stupid things to ‘protect’ it

And it gets worse from there

And this is the lesson to NEVER ask Freepers for advice. You have to wade through so many cowardly posts made by idiots hiding behind their computer screens.

Kudos to Citizen of the Savage Nation for giving a honest step by step report on the series. Too bad you had to read so many stupid comments before he posted. There are couple of others but not enough to offset the idiots.

The writers of the show painted themselves into corners so many times that I stopped watching the show after three episodes. My girlfriend loved the show and we had marathons every weekend. We watched the final episode at a theater that was hosted by ABC. She owns an “Oceanic Airlines” t-shirt.

We created a drinking game where if a character asks another an “in your face, direct question” and the other character refuses to answer, you take a drink. We had to switch to mild wine coolers. LOL. I'm logging off.

Hey, remember that one episode of "Lost" where they almost find a way to get off the island until Gilligan does something stupid to ruin it all?

[mad_as_he$$]

You really need to watch the whole series. Jack is a great hero. Sawyer does the right thing. Kate is reformed. Bernard and ....well you just need to watch it. Don't forget Vincent. He is important to the ending.

[Huck]

I think that despite your protests, the show has you hooked. One the one hand, you say it’s a waste of time. On the other hand, you just have to know how it all turns out. That’s cheating. If you really believe it’s a waste of time, then who cares how it ends? It’s fiction.

[Sandy]

typical "redneck"(Sawyer),... "religious wacko"(John Locke)

Hardly. Sawyer and Locke are two of the best characters in television history, imho. I loved Lost, and I loved almost all of it's main characters, but Sawyer was the best, plus he's absolutely gorgeous.
