Yeah, I didn’t start Lost until last fall on Netflix. Actually, we started with Heroes and watched it religiously even if everything since season one sucked. Then on a whim, we started watching Lost and got hooked. Season 6 wasn’t looking great to me until last week with Desmond. Man, that’s what I’ve been waiting for all season.
I’ve been watching V since the beginning as well. So far so good. Debating whether or not to start Flash Forward.

I agree. It simply didn't seem to be going anywhere, and then wham --- the Desmond-centric episode ends up being very important.
My daughter and I were talking about Lost this morning at breakfast. (I have been there from the beginning, she caught up while in college and is hooked.) Anyway, I was saying to her that it seems like the characters that we thought were on the periphery of the program, are actually becoming much more important (Desmond, Hurley), and the main characters seem to be fading a bit. Maybe it is just where we are in the story, but I'm wondering if the makers of this show had planned this from the beginning so that we were watching the wrong people.
So, I think the Desmond episode was so important because it finally connected the "alternative side-ways universe" with the people on The Island.
