10 reasons LOST sucks
1. Nothing ever really happens. Oh, you think something is going to happen. The previews show that something is going to happen. Sadly though, in the end nothing really happens. It’s amazing that you can watch a whole season of the show and end up pretty much where you started. Yep, still on the island. Nope, still don’t know what all the crazy stuff happening is about… Throw us a bone people.
2. The shaky camera work. Oh this is a biggie. We are all well aware of this cheap trick used to intensify the drama of a scene, or worse yet, to insert a false sense of drama where the plot is lacking. Hold the camera steady for the love of Pete. We will decide if the scene is intense enough and if not we can shake our heads back and forth rapidly. There are enough Bruckheimer shows in the world already.
3. Kind of the opposite of the last reason, but equally annoying: the staring factor. By my rough estimates, a good 17 minutes of each episode is devoted to someone staring at someone else, or some object. The casual viewer may miss this one, but look for it. People just don’t stare at each other that much in real life. I think for one of the future blog entries I will actually take a stopwatch and record the “net staring time” for an episode.
4. 3 episodes then reruns for a month. What’s up with that? Yes, it’s filmed in Hawaii and I’m sure a lot goes into each show, but film the whole season then air it. Other shows are able to do that, why not Lost?
5. The flashbacks. They don’t add a whole lot for one thing, and not everyone could have killed someone before they got to the island. I mean how many people’s flashbacks are about them killing a person or persons? I think the fat dude is the only one who didn’t. Oh wait, his “curse” did kill a few people if I recall.
6. New characters. How many new people can they introduce to the show that is set on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere? You wouldn’t think there would be so many people ending up there. You’ve got a whole community of “others”, a French chick, a dude that was in the hatch, all the plane crash people, and now some balloon guy. This island has more people than your average Club Med.
7. The Dharma Initiative. This is so ridiculous; I’m at the point where I don’t even care what it’s really about. Between the guy in the movie and the clever marketing logo, it’s just a bit too over the top. I swear they ripped off this shadow organization from an old episode of Get Smart. If they break out a Dharma Project cone of silence I will throw a shoe through my TV.
8. They find a steel and concrete fortified bunker/hatch (actually many of these) but yet they all still choose to live happily in the open on the beach, while man eating creatures and scary smoke beings roam the island. Don’t you think seeing a man ripped to shreds by a huge monster would make you want to have a metal door between you and the outside world while you slept?
9. The original premise is flawed. If a plane breaks apart at that altitude, there would be no one left to be “lost”. It should have been called “Crashed” and been a one episode show.
10. Pressing the countdown button. Enough said.

Man, this is some good stuff. Looks like I am first to find your blog!
LOST doesn’t suck. The reason a lot of people think LOST lost it’s edge is because it is a show you actually have to think about. It is a theorizing show. The beginning of the show was, “Wow! We are on an island!” and after that the mysteries started to unfold. Then dumb people were like, “Oh crap! I am dumb and I want to watch something that I don’t need to think about!” I laugh at people that say LOST is confusing. LOST is just for people that like to think things through and theorize. Not for people that just want to sit on the couch and relax without having to think about it, you know?
Jessica, I haven’t been confused by Lost and was a big fan for the first two seasons but it’s clear that they have no idea where they’re going with the story and have “Lost” their way. There’s no great mystery here, the writers seem to be ad-hoc writing stories that go nowhere and are now boring most of their viewers to tears, as evidenced by the ratings. Last episode was billed as the episode you “MUST NOT MISS”! The big highlight was Hurley starting an old VW Van, Really Thought Provoking! I’m sure glad I didn’t miss that Riviting episode! I’ll give them another episode or two before I decide to spend the hour doing something more interesting like staring at a wall!
So true, the episodes just keep adding other mysteries, they will probably never stop it until people keep watching it.. they will keep adding senseless things and new “forced” episodes…
There is a big difference in a show where you have to think to understand it and a show that just have no sense at all!!
YOUR ARE A BIG IDIOT IF YOU HATE THE SHOW LOST!! LOST IS THE GREATEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY WHOLE LIFE. LOST SHOULD NEVER END, ITS TOO GOOD TO END. I LOVE MATTHEW FOX/JACK SHEPARD, HE IS SO HOT!!! ALSO IS A EXCELLENT ACTOR! JOSH HOLLOWAY, IS SO HOT!!! ALSO IS A EXCELLENT ACTOR! EVANGELINE LILLY, IS SO HOT!!! ALSO IS A EXCELLENT ACTRESS.

PLEASE CONTINUE THE SHOW LOST I LOVE IT SO MUCH. TRULY, “YOUR FAN”
u are damn right! Lost is da best damn show on earth! all these people can do is critisize! if they hate it sooo much then why do they watch it?
shut up. Lost is a great show, but these people make some great points. I mean sure they do seem to be going no where, but its still an addicting show. I just don’t see why you made a whole site dedicated to it…
Were you aware that the writers are making this up as they go in order to sell you more soap. 5 seasons max gives everyone involved a big pay day.
LOST IS THE BEST FRIGGIN SHOW EVER! I WATCH IT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT! YOU TRY WRITING A DAMNED DRAMA SHOW! ALL YOUR POINTS ARE STUPID! THE SUSPENCE KEEPS ME AND THE OTHER FANS WATCHING? THE SEASONS KEEP GETTING BETTER! AND DAMNIT, THE WRITERS HAVE IT ALL PLANNED OUT AND THE NEXT THREE SEASONS ARE GONNA BE AWESOME SHIT MAN! SO DON’T DISS LOST, YOU’RE THE IDIOTS THAT CAN’T SEE THE DEEP THOUGHT IN IT! THE FLASHBACKS ARE AWESOME AND NOT POINTLESS! CHARACTERS DIE ALL THE TIME BUT ALSO COME BAC CUZ THE ISLAND HEALS PEOPLE! IF THERE WAS NO MYSTERY NO ONE WOULD WATCH! LOST IS FUCING AWESOME!
That is very TTTRRRRRRRUUUUUEEEEE!!!!! And the guy who made this site is the biggest MOTHERF***ING SON OF A B**CH I’ve ever heard of. He’s a bloody stuck-up loser who got bored of his lame life and actually built a whole site listing the things which he can’t understand. Get a life loser.
Jessica is an idiot, if you really think Lost is a show that makes you think than you must have an IQ of 12. The show is idiotic, the creators had no idea what they wanted the show to be and that becomes clear when they can’t tie up or at least even advance storylines. The show sucks and I’m glad it’s ratings are slipping fast, hopefully it will be off the air soon.
HEDGIE YOU SUCK!! LOST IS THE BEST SHOW ON T.V. MATTHEW FOX AND ALL OF THE OTHER CAST THEY ALL ARE THE BEST ACTORS AND ACTRESSES IN THE WORLD. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS ON THE SHOW LOST. YOU GUYS ROCK. ESPECIALLY MATTHEW FOX, JOSH HOLLOWAY, EVANGELINE LILLY, AND ELIZABETH MITCHELL!
Whats your age?
HOW CAN ANY OF YOU SAY THAT LOST SUCKS!!!!
LOST IS THE GREATEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED!
I DONT CARE WHAT YOU LOT SAY LOST IS GREAT I LUV IT!
I HOPE IT STAYS ON TV FOREVER!
I have to agree that life in a hatch, the comm shack that Locke blew all to hell or the suburbs beats life on a beach altogether. At worst, Locke and the crew might have grabbed up a few coveralls, some extra t-shirts, food and toiletries before a. blowing up he comm shack, b. finding the suburbs and not even stopping for a quick shower. These should be treasures no matter who you are. People on this show, which I generally like, don’t act like people.
I agree. I despise Locke, he thinks he’s so smart but he, in reality is a poor confused sap just like everybody else on this god-awful show.
LOST sucks. It sucks. I watched one episode, on DVD, and my thought the whole time was - how can they have stretched the flimsy premise out to 3 seasons to date, with another gazillion to come????
Are Americans THAT bored they sit in front of the TV to watch THIS!!!!
LOST really does suck.
It started out as a nice new idea, season 1 was good since we were introduced to new characters and storylines. Season 2 was also good since they took us somewhere we weren’t expected to be. But season 3 was a complete Joke.
A frikkin episode on why Jack got some tattoos? Give me a break!! That’s the very definition of a filler show. The writers don’t have enough content so they throw all the shit they can think of and figure people are gonna keep buying it. Save Eko(sp?)’s life in one episode and kill him off in the next. Same thing. Total BS.
Tjey simply don’t have enough content to make more than 5-6 episodes so they scatter it all around and fill the rest with boring flashback # 724 of how Jack once saw a peanut that looked like a pea.
Wood-di-fuckin-di-doo
Wow, for as much as Lost sucks you still like to watch it.
Lost is my favorite show, and, that being said, I agree with over half the things you say. I’ve noticed the staring factor, and it has begun to piss me off. To be fair, though, every show seems to do it. Someone asks someone else a suspenseful question, and, tada, no answer, just a look at the other person as if that is suppose to tell us something. Things actually do happen, just very slowly. I really don’t notice the shaky camera work. The flashbacks were beneficial and interesting at the beginning of Lost, but now they’ve seem to run their course, but have been replaced by flashforwards. At first, this story-telling twist seemed brilliant, but, now that they’ve been going on, it the same old garbage on how every character is flawed.
We get it already! All the characters are “lost.” They all have troubles. Kind of annoying.
The writers have done well on some things. First off, without the others drama, half of season 1 and season 2 would have blown balls.
So, adding new characters is essential. I just wish the writers weren’t so lazy and would quit killing off main characters for ratings. Think of more interesting plot! The plane crash is a little unrealistic but it wasn’t as much of a crash as it was a rough landing. The pilot got the plane fairly parallel and low to the earth before breaking apart.
Obviously its stupid for the people to live on the beach when the Swan would have provided good shelter. It’s also funny the jungle/smoke monster is only dangerous in certain episodes.
As far as the Dharma Initiative…this might be the shows greatest plus. Who doesn’t want to know what happened? It was a great addition to she show, adding mystique to the island, but has yet to be explained fully. How was there a Dharma food drop at the end of season 2 when Dharma is now defunct?
Sigh…some things in the show do piss me off.
If you think LOST sucks so much….
Stop Watchin It… Duuudeee…. !!!
HA! I Love this show! But it’s true NOTHING EVER HAPPENS!:)
You have a few valid points here. But overall considering all the reality crap that is currently on TV this is about as good as it gets. I will continue to watch as long as it’s on. You just have to suspend disbelief a bit and let yourself get hooked into the show. Then its like crack and you can’t get enough!
I’m a die hard fan and I think you are pretty much full of it. Lost is the best show on TV.
A agree wholeheartedly with your #2. It drives me batty! I just want to see what’s going on!
LOST IS THE BEST SHOW ON T.V. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!! I HAVE WATCHED LOST FROM THE BEGINNING AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, YOU AREN’T LISTENING OR PAYING ATTENTION TO WHATS GOING ON OR YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THINGS.
You Are A Moron…
No, you don’t understand everything. What you don’t understand is that:
a) Even “great” *cough,cough* shows like lost have flaws;
and
b) People are allowed to whine about them. Have you ever heard of “freedom of speech”?
Half the shows on TV use the “shaky camera” technique. I agree it’s annoying. It won’t stop me from watching though.
I like # 7. I had to google “cone of silence” to find this link http://www.tvacres.com/commun_booths_cone.htm. Too funny.
I don’t know if you get why LOST is so popular. It’s the whole mystery of the show and the many layers that the casual viewer misses. You can’t just pick it apart, because any tv show has it’s faults.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE WATCHED LOST FROM THE BEGINNING AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. PAY ATTENTION MORE AND YOU MIGHT FIGURE SOME THINGS OUT.
you’re such an idiot! You type in all caps to disguise the fact that you hae no valid points, and the person you just insulted was NOT insulting the show!
LOL #6
Man, you need to get out more.
Lost may have it’s faults like all shows, but it’s really the best we have right now. At least it’s not some reality show crap. I am addicted to it, I’ll admit it!
1. Nothing ever really happens.
I can’t agree with this one, in most episodes a lot of things hapen, you seem to just be picking on the occasional bad episode.
2. The shaky camera work.
I happen to like the shaky camera, it may get kinda irratating some times, but most of the time a shaky camera works a lot better then a still one would.
4. 3 episodes then reruns for a month.
Almost every other ABC show does this, I actualy prefer the “3 episodes, 3 reruns” method, instead of having one long painfull break inbetween seasons there’s just a bunch of short breaks.
5. The flashbacks don’t add anything to the show.
Au contraire, the flashbacks build character, it’s very intresting to see why the castaways are making the decisions that they’re making.
6. Too Many New Characters.
I agree, but I don’t think that it’s that big of a deal, the island is very mysterious, there is a reason why so many people are there.
7. The Dharma Initiative Is Rediculous.
Not realy, Lost wouldn’t have nearly as deep a plot as it does if the show was just a bunch of stranded people trying to surivive, there would be no real protagonist, and there wouldn’t realy be any mysteries.
8. They Live on the Beach When They Should Live in the Hatch.
in the hatch an alarm goes off every 108 minutes, is that the kind of place that you would want to sleep in?
9. The original premise is flawed.
Now I agree that if the plane did break apart in mid air the original premise would be flawed, but it’s not certain that the plane broke apart, or even that they realy crashed, the producers have said that “we will find out why flight 815 crashed sometime this season” it sounds to me like there’s more to the crash then we know.
10. Pressing the countdown button. Enough said.
No, not enough said, now personaly I think that there should have been more revealed about the button and the nubers by now, but I don’t see any problem with pushing a button.
SHUT UP YOU FOOL. ALL THAT YOU HAVE LISTED IS FAKE AND YOU KNOW IT. LOST IS THE BEST SHOW EVER. MATTHEW FOX AND ALL THE REST OF THE CAST ROCK. YOU CAN’T BE TALKING BECAUSE I BET YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW THEY GOT ON THE ISLAND. HA HA HA!! LOST SHOULD NEVER END!
The writers are yanking your chains and laughing their way to the bank. “Lost” lost me as a viewer after that episode in Season 2 where Hurley kept on seeing mysterious Dave popping up everywhere and then the show ended with Hurley sitting in a catatonic state in a mental hospital with that blond woman who Michael later killed sitting their in a vegetative state as well.
Here’s my prediction for how the show will finally end: it’s all in Hurley’s head. He actually is a mental patient.
Just as in the real world, fat, dumpy looking guys may not have much of a real life, but they sure do have a fecund imagination! LOL
bashveank,
I appreciate your thoughtful response to this post. You make some good counterpoints to my arguments. I guess we will see what happens in the coming episodes. Thanks for posting.
-Tyler
Thanks for not being a jerk, most people running a website like this would have.
Let me just say this
I’ve seen SMALVILLE progress faster than Lost.
‘Nuff said.
LOST IS THE BEST SHOW ON T.V. SMALLVILLE IS THE STUPIDEST SHOW IN THE WORLD. WHO CARES ABOUT SUPERMAN. HE’S STUPID. I WOULDN’T BE TALKING MISTER.
it seems like the only people who like lost talk in ALL CAPS. sorry, but telling me how great lost is in all capitals doesnt make your point any stronger.
lost fans refuse to believe they are wasting their tuesday nights or whenever this show is on.
lets see if this thinking does work….
LOST SUCKS! I COULD WRITE THAT SHOW. “LETS PUT A FIRE HYDRANT ON THE ISLAND! AND MAYBE A MOVIE THEATRE! OR BETTER YET, WE SHOULD PUT A BUNCH OF HELICOPTERS THERE! BUT THEY WONT WORK, THE “OTHERS” WILL TAKE OUT THE ENGINES. NO, ITS OK, WE CAN JUST “EXPLAIN” ALL THIS SHIT 4 SEASONS FROM NOW.”
lets see if you lost fans can pick out the “layered meanings” in this post!
Thank you, YOUR FAN, your are a perfect example of the so-called “intelligent” Lost viewer. I’m pretty sure the rest of the Lost fans are as smart and compassionate as you are………..NOT
Tyler, THANK YOU! Your website is just what I needed. Number 1 and 4 rock and they are why I can no longer watch the show. The problem is I wait 3 weeks for an episode then I get a “recap” nothing episode and then two weeks later they kill more characters I care about.
In short, I’m done. But not forever, in 3, 5, or 8 years when the show ends I will watch it rapidly on DVD or some other format. No more waiting for answers that never come. My hope is that if enough people quit watching they will realize (“they” being the writers, producers, directors) that they have to give-up some definitive answers and close out some questions. Below are a couple links that mostly describe how I feel, except the part about watching it all at once, which I would do).

You would not know good television if it hit you right in the face!
ON LOST THERE ARE NO RECAPS. THERE IS A NEW EPISODE THAT COMES ON EVERY WEDNESDAY. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT STUPID. YOU PROBABLY DON’T WATCH THE SHOW ANY WAY. SO STOP YOUR NONSENSE. LOST IS THE BEST SHOW EVER AND SHOULD NEVER END.
Hahahahaha! Is this Tyler’s wife posting?
So do you really think Lost sucks? You seem to watch every week! Yes, it gets a little annoying the waiting and wondering but isn’t that what keeps us all anxiously anticipating the next episode? The fact that we’re hooked is why we get so mad when there is a repeat or recap episode! We’re all Lost junkies in one form or another!
This article from CNN tells us what those of you who continue to watch ‘Lost’ are in for. Personal, I have not seen an episode since my first post. Rehab is helping.
After five fascinating/frustrating seasons, the Jennifer Garner slinky-dress-wearing/ world-saving/ dysfunctional-family drama “Alias” reaches its conclusion Monday night. Those of us who have hung on for the rocky ride are hoping against hope that the ludicrous number of outstanding mysteries will miraculously be solved.
But it’s doubtful. And that serves as a warning to fans of J.J. Abrams’ bigger hit, “Lost,” which also rides on the premise that someday everything you’ve seen will make sense.
When “Alias” began in 2001, it was addictive. Balancing a “normal” life as a student with a fantasy world of espionage — backed by a “Run Lola Run” music beat — the story of Sydney Bristow pulled us in. We joined her search for the truth about the agency she worked for, her family, and herself.
Even when J.J. tossed out the premise, ending Sydney’s normal life (no more friends or studies) and double-agent duty (the nefarious network she worked for went kaput), we kept watching — largely for the incredibly complex family triangle of Sydney, her distant father (Victor Garber) and is-she-really-evil mother (Lena Olin).
But we were too rarely rewarded. “Alias” kept layering dozens of fresh mysteries without resolving most of them, and took so many sudden left turns it made us dizzy. Even now, on the eve of the final broadcast, we still don’t have answers to some of the biggest questions introduced in the first season.
Just a sampling: Did Sydney’s mom really kill CIA agents, including Vaughn’s father? How can Sydney be the woman prophesied by Rambaldi when she climbed a mountain to prove she isn’t? Who is this Rambaldi guy, and how did he prognosticate everything? Why did Sydney’s Aunt (Isabella Rossellini) try to kill Sydney and Vaughn? Why exactly did Sydney have those two years wiped from her memory?
At one point the show teased us, having Sydney’s nemesis-of-the-moment suggest the answers lay in a bank vault. But then the writers threw that opportunity away, giving us virtually nothing.
The twists lately have felt like efforts to patch up some holes — not the results of thoroughly mapped-out storytelling. In fact, it often seems like J.J. and company forgot all about some of the mysteries — or are hoping viewers did…
How bout the fact that the crash survivors seem totally content with staying on the island instead of trying everything they can to find a way home or signal for help?
And by the way, the best shows on tv are The Sopranos and 24.
I totally agree. I am SO sick and tired of people yapping about Lost’s “complex, intricate mysteries” and “deep storytelling.” Lost is not profound in any way. Throwing in random “deep” references like “Locke” and “Rosseau” does not equal layered storytelling. Here’s the truth: Lost is shallow. These “deep” characters? Come on. A traumatic experience doesn’t automatically create a layered character. Plus, so many of the flashbacks are repetitive or useless. Hey guys, JACK HAS TO FIX THINGS. I sure didn’t know that!
How many plot aspects have been ignored since the first season? Polar bears, anyone? The writers also seem content to throw away characters without fully exploring their storylines (Boone, Shannon) in favor of irritating new characters (Ana-Lucia, who was killed anyway). The whole show is a mess.
Oh, and I really hate Lost fans saying things like, “You just don’t have enough patience,” “You don’t appreciate the intellectual qualities of Lost,” “Obviously you must watch reality crap,” etc. I laugh at Lost fans who feel their show is sooooo superior to reality shows or other programming. No, actually, Lost comes across worse. American Idol at least doesn’t pretend to be anything other than a hyped-up talent show. Lost poses as a highly philosophical drama when it’s really about as insightful as a fortune cookie.
*claps and cheers* Awesome! I totally agree with you Random Viewer, I’ve quit watching precisely because of that reason. I too find lost inferior to reality crapola. I’m a sucker for shows that don’t pretend to be anything else I guess.
Great post Random Viewer!!!
Excellent assessment. I was initially hooked on ‘Lost’ as it was what ‘Survivor’ was supposed to be (before every season began with the alliance/soap opera scenarios).
I suspect that ABC may learn that insulting their viewers with endless prime time repeats, recap episodes, and ‘filler’, may have a negative impact on their ad revenue, (most advertisers conduct their own market research on viewing habits - once they determine that only 17 year old girls are watching, the chargeable rate for ad time on ‘lost’ may significantly diminish, then it will end, and another great idea for a show will have gone down over issues of poor management).
Great points Julian
amen to that! the show is getting really bad.
I disagree with several statements above that “Lost” is the only thing on television worth watching, or that its not worth watching but that it is the most tolerable of all the junk on television.
Yes, Lost sucks.
But there is at least ONE show on television worth watching that has yet to disappoint - Battlestar Galactica (Redux, on Sci Fi Channel).
Lost - CRAPPY Sci-Fi Drama
Battlestar Galactica - GOOD Sci-Fi Drama
Watch the miniseries that started it and you’ll see what I mean. The first episode of the first season (”33″) is probably the best drama ever put on TV.
F*ck Lost.
Ok all TV sucks compared to 24 and lost wishes it was as cool and progressive as 24 and oh yea funny stuff i watched 3 episodes of lost and i was like WTF this show is sooo much BS PEOPLE WATCH A REAL SHOW THAT IS WORTH ALL THE HYPE 24!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok im done
Why continue to watch a show that you can’t stand? Surely you can find better things to do with your time?
Most people who carp the loudest about how Lost supposedly sucks watch it again and again. That’s the real mystery.
IF you dont like the show, then dont fucking watch it!
ya Knobend!
He HAS to watch it to see how shite it is, If he did not watch the show and claimed it to be a bag of bollocks you would all insult him for not watching the show…Dipshit.
What the fuck do you think critics do?!, Stare at the logo for three hours and give the show a negative review.
you missed out the most annoying thing about lost -
#11 The people who watch lost are so annoying. i have mates who won’t come down the pub because lost is on! Get a grip of yourself. you only watch it because you want to be up on the gossip so you can talk about it with your buddy’s who watch it. Even better if you can get ahead of the game by downloading an episode.
it makes me laugh the way ppl brag about how far they ahead they have seen. well done you down loaded a TV show.
I know what you mean. Its bad enough that this show is pretensious,
it also strings along lonely rabid fantards whos have nothing else to do all day than look for shows to fanatically defend. I’ve seen such scum splurging from every corner of the internet. Its loathesome.
Funny Bastard
I think Jericho is going to be worse
I agree with the website name…. Lost does suck. If you wanna watch something with more excitement…. 24 is where it’s at. You can’t get any better than 24..
If you consider LOST to be the most engaging and well written shows on TV, spend and hour watching DEADWOOD and experience TV that isn’t dumbed down, isn’t pandering, and doesn’t treat it’s audience like eager puppies waiting for table scraps.
lol i dont mind being a puppy waiting for my scraps. love the show and wait in antisipation for it to come on each week
It’s “anticipation”.
Since about the middle of last season my wife I felt that the show was losing its promise. It has continued to go down hill since. It is no longer intriguing and just stings us all along like the dolts they think we are…I’ll still watch it every week. Don’t want to miss it when something does happen.
The bastard step-child of the “x-files”. Nobody really knows what the fuck is going on and nobody cares. It’s called hell. I can’t believe it lasted a season, much less this long.
i agree, only when the show ends will people realise that there is nothing new in lost, its all rehashed plot lines from multiple stories. The writers are never going to live up to peoples expectations.
Lost is good
, but you cannot even begin to compare it to 24 or Prison Break. You probabily get more action in 1 episode of 24 or Prison Break then you do in 1 whole season of Lost! So watch 24 and Prison Break too see action and watch lost if you want to see a bunch of people on an island for 8 seasons!
What losers u guys all r, ha shame on u’s u fink dat jst cuz uve been 2 dummbed dwn by sitting on ur fat arses nd playing on da compute all day, nd as da person said “if u dunt lyk it, dunt watch it” Amen to dat!!!
Also about prision break, yea its ok, but oh wait every week dunt they say “nw we r breaking out” yep and im about 2 fly ova 2 finland and tap dance for my soon to be husband frog
and 24? if i wanted to see a ugly unshaved guy running around nd trying to stop things frm blowing up id watch 2 c wat ma dad dus wen i set off fire crackers!
I can’t believe that someone who types as if they’re texting their twelve-year-old girlfriends to meet them at the mall has the audacity to ridicule anyone else for being “dumbed down”.
Eyez wants to give big ups to KC fo represent’n Staines, aiiight!
Respeck
Just found your site the other day.
Fabulous!!!
I watched Season 1 and 2. and now Season 3. I dont really know what the whole Sh!t is about. takes me ages to download here in Afria only to find out that its the same old sh!t. Nothing is happening in this crap!. they are just shaking the camera and adding intense drama music. Thats it!. Prison Break and 24 rock!. I love them, they get you excited ! .. not pissed off cause you keep watching episode after episode and not know shit!. Some people say.. well dont watch lost.. you dont get it.. we have to watch it cause we spent so much frickin time trying to get even a single answer!. arghgh it sucks
u guys r overslydumbbed dwn by having to bitch on da internet to get ur point out,
If u actually pay attention, u will understand it, lyk me nd my class mates do
!!!!
and at least lost dusnt lie to you, yes it makes you think dat a certain fing is gunna happen, bt it dusn’t, bt dey neva said it wuld hapen! its ur own fault!!
prision break “now… they…. are…. breaking….out!” yea sur, they were also doing dta 7 episoides ago!
back to school for you, repeat after me… A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
Are your classmates also illiterate?
You must secretly deep down love this show to make a website about it.
This show IS very deep. One of the things that comes to mind is pushing the button. This represented religion and faith. People tell us about religion and if we have faith good will come. All locke had was desmonds word, but when he lost is faith he came close to dying. The motif was “Can someone survive on faith alone”. Hard to explain.
the numbers and dharma were all explain in the lost expereince sri lanka video. it made sense.
Another good quality of the show is how it can be watched infinite amount of times and keep finding new things. very unique.
Also how every episode is a cliffhanger, thats very hard to pull off.
There is no show deeper than lost.
this show, there has never been a show like it. michael emerson is the best actor out there. he can send chills down your spine with just one sentece. i could so write a book about the greatness of this show and its creators and actors, but dont find a point in doing it, all i would be doing is stating the obvious to a lostfan. as for the nonlost fans,, you are all ignorant. watch season 1 dvds, and u will be hooked. watsh the season 2 dvd’s and it will consume u.
You are the kind of Lost fan that everyone hates. You think you’re so intellectually superior with your deconstruction of the symolism in Lost. Get over it. Lost is not Hemingway or Faulkner. using the owrd motif does not impress anyone. Your analysis is boring and intellectually insignificant. There are far more meaningful and profound shows like Sopranos, Deadwood and Six Feet Under- although none of these are no airing. Oh yea and there are actually books with oh I dunno actual meaning and depth in them.
“this show, there has never been a show like it. michael emerson is the best actor out there. he can send chills down your spine with just one sentece. i could so write a book about the greatness of this show and its creators and actors, but dont find a point in doing it, all i would be doing is stating the obvious to a lostfan. as for the nonlost fans,, you are all ignorant. watch season 1 dvds, and u will be hooked. watsh the season 2 dvd’s and it will consume u.”
OMFG! The above comments pretty well sum up what is annoying about rabid Lost fans. “You just aren’t smart enough to understand the brilliance of this show!” Let me start by saying, everybody enjoyed season one. The show still had focus and appeared to be on track for, say, a solid three year run with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Success has ruined the show. It’s plain to see that by being a ratings monster, pressure has been placed on the writers and producers to extend the show indefinitely. Instead of a tight storyline we get endless character introductions and flashbacks. When you write your book on Lost, maybe you can tell the real story, one of wasted potential and network greed.
Lost is crap, I wont even watch the show, its not deep. It’s an overly dramatic Gilligan’s Island. And listening to all you people whine about how great it is just makes me want to see it less.
Here is where I am “lost” (pardon the pun). Why create a website about a show you think sucks but it is clear you watch every episode to tell everyone it sucks?
Now here is where you will be “lost”: I’m not a huge fan of the show either. A lot of mystery and a lot of people telling me “it’s a thinking show” “the numbers are everywhere man, it deserves re-watching” “the best show on tv”. Ok it has its good points, its well acted and the stories are well-crafted but I do agree not a lot happens. I do like mysteries in shows, i.e the X files, but whilst shows like the X files didn’t reveal their full hand in one go, you got some closure on the episodes because some were self-contained. In Lost, the mystery is on-going and, in my opinion, I think the writers are testing the audience in how long they can kept their audience hooked before they don’t care any more.
I can’t see the show’s enormous appeal nor how it has kept going for so long but that’s just me. I’m a 24 man and always will be.
lost sucks
The reader above who made the points about the “lost” promise of Alias is exactly correct. J.J. and company never seem to be able to answer the hard questions. One glaring faux pas was the recovery of an artifact from a void space under glacier apparently sitting on top of a body of water. You’re not going to get that kind of static situation that would preserve the artificat without massive (and completely unsupplied) explanations.
Lost looks to be going the same way. It’s almost like the writer’s sessions involve random pages of “neat and new experiences and characters” that are then wadded up into spit balls, thrown against the wall, and then a random sampling is made from those that stick. THIS, we’ll call, PLOTTING!
I’ve stopped watching except for the occasional episode that might play during supper. Until it starts causing indigestion.
Oh, by the way, I do know the significance of the “button.” It is an analogue of real life. ABC is the Dharma Initiative. And they want to see how pointless they can make the show until the viewers stop pressing their own buttons on the remote to tune in.
