Lost

[J T]

Who watches Lost? And have you been following the third series?

I watched most of the first series, but got bored during the second and stopped watching. I then caught up with the Sky rundown of what had happened so far leading up to the third series and so started watching the third series.

I did almost exactly the same thing. My wife watched all of the 2nd series so after I got bored after the first few eps I occasionally asked her what was going on and just watched bits and pieces and the last few episodes where it picked up.

The new series is better, but I'm getting a tad fed up with the whole "uh oh, not sure where this is going and the audience is getting a tad restless so let's just bung in SOMETHING COMPLETELY RANDOM AND UNRELATED to divert their attention away from the glaring contradictions and *OH SHIT LOOK!* A MONSTER!"

And what is with the break? Did the test/preview audience not like what they saw, prompting a reshoot? Bloody annoying though coming out of nowhere. Just as we were really getting into it the Sky announcer reaches through the screen and slaps us in the face with a wet haddock and says "just as you were getting into that, none for you until sometime next year sucker." Cheers. Maybe you'd like to piss in my bottle of milk too, huh?

Plus points though for some of the unexpected sudden character killing. Nice touch.

Breaks in the middle of seasons are quite common in US series. Normally it takes a while for the series to come to the UK so they can show it all in one go. However Sky have shown Lost very soon after it was shown in the US therefore they also have to have the break.

The unexpected character killing was a nice touch indeed.

I think the break on Sky is due to Sky running out of episodes and needing to take a break while the US catch up. I seem to remember reading we were getting many of the episodes before much of the US.

We've been watching the first two seasons of Lost. Although interesting, sometimes one gets a bit "lost" while watching.. hehe.. We are going to embark upon the third season soon I believe.

Never liked it, although, I also never even bothered to watch it.

@PG. It is worth sticking with because it does become really good right towards the end and goes into a lot of flashbacks showing what the characters were all doing before they ended up "Lost"... although that is a twist in itself (no spoilers). You are still kind of a bit lost even at the end though with unanswered questions, but worth it to some extent. Plus you always have Evangeline Lilly!

But if you find Lost interesting I would highly recommend you look up Revolution and watch the first 2 series that have so far aired (third series due in the new year). Revolution is from the same creators as Lost, but is much better.. based on a Post apocalyptic world after electricity suddenly stopped working on a global scale. My favourite series at the moment.. next to The Walking Dead!

I have so many series, so I have to set priorities. I thought Revolution didn't get the best reviews? Are you sure there will be a 3rd season, I thought they stopped it. Tracy Spiridakos is quite hot though.

I also started to watch The 100, watched 5 episodes, but that's now already some months ago, girlfriend is not too exited to watch further.
