Lost

Hmmm .... this is a tough one ....
i share the same conumdum Feeve
I believe Lost may well lose out in this first round
Someone already voted for SOA.
Of all the shows for SOA to get pitted against in the first round. Totally sucks.
I really don't like SOA, and I used to be a big Lost fan, so.....I suppose I have no choice here....

Have I not explained this to you? Thought I had....
I watched the first two seasons and loved them. I was rightfully the first television show I got obsessed with. Season 3 was pretty good, but I got somewhat lost in all the time jumps, and it began to annoy me.
Then, they had the whole mess-up with airing schedules, and we didn't see it for almost a year. Then the writer's strike happened. And when the strike ended, I looked at all the shows I watched previous to it, and made a list of ones I missed seeing. I continued to watch those shows. Unfortunately, Lost didn't make the cut. I just didn't think about when it wasn't on...and I had other shows I liked a lot better at that point. So I kinda gave up. It was very good in the first seasons, though. Hence the voting it its favor.
Fair enough. You really should get to the latter seasons at some point if you have the time/will power to do so , you might end up liking it a lot more if you're able to judge it as a whole rather than a fragmented series of episodes.
I know...I really should pick it back up. The problem is I get so distracted byDoctor Wh....I mean....other shows that I usually end up putting it off.
Maybe with the Lore re-watch happening next year I can re-do the first 2 seasons and see if that motivates me to keep going
There you go ! Perfect. Perhaps an in depth analysis of each episode will re-kindle your love for the show.
Gah, I love Lost, but SoA is so damned awesome. I have to vote for it. If Lost had ended better, it might have gotten my vote.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I love Sons, but it doesn't even hold a candle to LOST, IMO. Sorry Jax, you sexy beast.
I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.
I like what I see so far !
You know, while Lost has an amazing overall story and I love it, it has a lot of episodes along the way that I found pretty boring. They were spaced out and there was never a point where I thought about stopping watching Lost. SoA, in my opinion, has been consistently amazing for pretty much every episode. I don't expect it to win, though. It is a shame that such a good show randomly came up against a powerhouse like Lost right out the gate.
That clip up there doesn't do SoA much justice, though.

Sorry, but there wasn't too much to choose from on Youtube
But feel free to post others.
I hate LOST
and if anyone wants to know why...
You have to watch every...damn... episode or you are entirely LOST on what the hell is going on! Too much of a commitment... too many twists throughout the seasons... just got stupid to keep up!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
That's what I love about the show. Virtually every episode is connected and paramount to the ep that succeeds it. If I had my way, LOST's form of non-linear storytelling and cliff hanger-esque bow-outs would be emulated by many other shows.I hate LOST

You might not like it, but you must admit that that is appropriate.
With the rest of television (and every other aspect of life in society, even) being now designed to cater to the lowest common denominator, so that knowing nothing but what's immediately apparent is never a handicap, non-commitment is actually a virtue, and there's no real advantage to paying attention, I begin to think that Ayn Rand may have had a point.
Well, if I LIKED the show, maybe I wouldn't mind committing to it... but all the twists seem like a cop-out to me... nothing has to make sense, just screw around with it some more so we don't really have to answer anything!

?
I'm not sure which unexplained twists you're talking about love. With the exception of a few plot points that are left open to interpretation, most of the events that unfold have a basis somewhere in the story/previous episodes.
you're intriguing me further and further...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent
I definitely think you'll enjoy it Jean. I can't wait for you to watch it.
