LOST is all that it means 
2008-07-20
Utterly appalling. I was so intrigued to see what it was supposed to be one of the best television series, What a disappointment!!, I watched the entire season 1 and still didn't understand why LOST was so admired, so I jumped season 2, and tried season 3 to see if something has happened, and I was so amazed to see that not a thing happened. LOST is so incredible boring, there's no action at all, no brain action, This is absolutely NOT a thinking person's notion of stimulating entertainment, If I were you, I would watch the first and last episode and I sware you won't miss a thing. They will be lost forever. I even thought that I should be hight (drugged) to get it, But i was tired of loosing my time here. Writers must be so astonished to see how people see this nonsense show, with no answers.. just question after question and I'm pretty sure they will come with ridiculous answers at the end. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME with this garbage. Try Prison Break which is an absolute 10!!! with great acting, plot and superb suspense. When your're used to great suspense LOST is just a piece of junk.
goes nowhere, takes forever to get there 2008-07-13
This show spins out question after question, with no answers whatsoever. Instead of resolving anything, the 'writers' (and I use the term in its loosest possible sense) just create a new mystery.
No thing ever resolves, it never goes anywhere, just one ridiculous premise after another. I even watched the first few episodes of season 2, just to see if they would answer ANY questions. They don't, they just create more. I have a feeling that the producers are just having a very long laugh at our expense. I'm embarrassed I watched as much as I did.
And all of that would be OK if the characters were interesting. They're not. Each character possesses one idiosyncrasy, which he/she is obligated to repeat, scene after scene, episode after episode... If you've seen one episode, you've seen them all. Complete garbage.
If you're looking for something good to watch, try Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet, even Battlestar Galactica is better than this excrement.
Kinda, well, boring!!

I think there was a compilation of like 6 episodes out of 24 that kept my interest. I tried to like it, but the more I watched, the more painful it got to sit through an entire snooze-fest episode. I actually found myself fast forwarding so that I could see when something interesting would happen.
How can people find this show amazing. There's an episode about playing golf, an episode about building a raft, taking a shower, picking fruit, and even drinking water. COME ON! I hardly consider this entertainment. It wasnt horrible, but I dont think I'll be watching the second season. If I were you, I would watch the first and last episode. Everthing else is boring filler.
Unbelievable!

If you enjoy a good weekly series type of movie, you HAVE to see this one. Totally incredible - just when you think you have it figured out, you find out you were dead wrong. The acting is superb. And although it is mostly filmed in the tropics, you never get tired of the scenery. Characters are very believable and the story line keeps your interest like no other. The best thing about buying a whole season like this is that you don't have to wait week-to-week to see the next episode. This is a gotta-have!
Introducing The Characters 2008-06-11
Before I begin my review of this show's actual content, let me make one thing perfectly clear: LOST is the greatest sci-fi/drama show I have ever watched. Now, this is saying something, as I am also a huge fan of Star Trek and The X-Files. From the first episode, however, LOST hooked me in with its mysterious plots, emotional drama, and flash-back storytelling method.
In a nutshell, LOST tells the story of a group of people who survived a plane crash and now find themselves on a deserted island, with little chance for rescue. Yet, this show is NOT a dramatic version of Survivor. Producer J.J. Abrams makes this clear right from the get-go, as on the first night on the island a dinosaur-sounding monster invades the group's camp and adds a mysteriousness to the entire situation. From there, the survivors come into contact with a polar bear, a French woman who has been broadcasting an SOS on the island for many years, and a metal hatch buried deep in the ground. Obviously, the island is not as "innocent" as it would seem.
Besides the X-Files-like plot twists (but LOST actually executes its plot better than the X-Files because it always follows up on all key plot elements), the stories of a selected group of the plane crash survivors add the emotional drama to the show. By flashing-back to their lives before the clash, it is revealed how certain characters wound up on the plane to begin with. Also, the undercurrent beneath every flash-back implies that each "Lostie" is somehow connected to each other, and perhaps they are even "brought" to their mysterious island for a particular reason. I would go into more details about some of the survivors' flashbacks, but too many spoilers would abound if I did. Suffice it to say that you WILL be emotionally "hooked" by each and every one of their stories, and your emotion will be compounded by the surprise endings (almost Twilight Zone-esque) of most of the flashbacks.
To conclude, LOST is the perfect blend of emotional drama, intense action, and mind-bending mystery. This first season primarily serves to introduce the important characters (through the ingenious flash-back method) and scratch the surface of the mysteries the island has to offer. If you purchase this produce, I recommend buying the second season right now as well, as you WILL NOT want to wait after this season's cliffhanger ending.

D-O-P-EY , shallow...and LOST 2008-05-29
I'm not much of a fan for completely unrealistic 'stories' featuring mostly too-beautiful twenty-somethings, but thought I'd check out the first couple episodes of season 1 since this series is apparently still so popular. A JOKE. Why is everyone ignoring the dead bodies on the plane? No burials? No a-r-o-m-a? It's to laugh when the POLAR bear is killed and nobody thinks of it as FOOD to feed the 40+ crash survivors. Yikes! I was instantly apprehensive when the first character we see in episode 1, scene 1,(the doctor)wakes up, COMPLETELY UNINJURED, literally hundreds of yards from the crash site--some kind of 'soft landing' involved there? I had to bail shortly thereafter from this ridiculous mess of a story. YAWN...everyone just waiting around for the next stupid surreal event to get all excited over. These actors are, for the most part, ALL unsympathetic characters thrown together having no clue how to cooperate for long-term survival on a jungle island. Too much pointless dialogue, too much pointless everything, with multiple contrived sub-plots meandering aimlessly. Programming CLEARLY aimed at a youth market able to grasp little more a than connect-the-dots, Jurassic Park-meets-dumb-paranormal-event storylines. It's a sobering thought that this shallow timewaster can have so many adoring fans. This is decidedly NOT a thinking person's notion of stimulating entertainment. "LOST" indeed!
Schlock network weekly sausage links comes to mind.
Best show on TV 2008-05-17
This show is just perfect, the best show on tv now and one of the best of all time
FAVORITE 2008-05-07
This is the BEST series I have ever followed. I can't wait for "LOST" night. The suspense is amazing, and leaves you wanting more. I wish it could continue longer.
I own seasons 1,2,3, and am waiting for 4 to be released. This is the only series I have ever fully bought.
I know in ten years from now, I will still be watching it over and over, and still enjoying it immensely.
Great for the treadmill! 2008-05-04
I have long heard about the series but never watched it. Ordered it as a way to jump start using my treadmill. It's awesome...lots of action so it keeps me motivated. Very suspenseful too so I'm anxious to get back on the treadmill to watch the next episode!
