You can say whatever you want about Lost but it was damn entertaining and despite the major flaws I'm glad I watched all of it. It was one hell of an entertaining ride.
Don't get me wrong, I like shit TV shows as well, like NCIS what I am very aggravated about is the status of Lost as some sort of Greatest TV show contender because it cannot stand on its merrits.

I'm not denying that the writing was shit at times but I have never been as absorbed, as excited to see new episodes, and as crazed about a TV show as I have been about Lost at times. As much as I complained about it in the past I feel like I am going to miss those nights watching lost with my friends when some crazy new twist threw everything up in air and I couldn't wait for the next episode. Even during the seasons where the writing dipped between the boring episodes there would be that occasional brilliant episode that blows your mind like no other show has done for me.
I'm not going to say that it was one of the best shows ever but it was one of my favorite.

I was also a big fan of the X-files so I guess the mystery aspect appealed to me.

I'm not one for sudden WTF moments myself.

Well that explains alot.

And totally the same for me as with Kyle, despite its flaws and downtimes. There is a reason why so many millions got so obsorbed into Lost. Asbolutely great piece of tv making most of the time.

A bad joke to compare it to The Shield.

The new season begins nexr Wednesday here. (There are only 2 seasons--including this one--left).

Watched it on a whim, and now I must admit that I'm hooked.

My theory: they all died in the crash, and are in Purgatory (or equivalent).

Anyone else watching it?
DAMN YOU LOU

6 years wasted an the answer we all sort of knew would come, i don't see why people want everything explained,for everything weird,far out,strange...well...it wasn't real they all died on the damned flight and are only now at peace

They didn't die on the flight and they weren't in purgatory, even before Season 6 the writers confirmed that wasn't where the show was headed. The whole afterlife scene took place after the Island ordeal. Remember Ben telling Hurley that he was best leader and Hurley telling him he was a great #2 during the afterlife sequence? That confirms that they were in fact alive on the Island.

Yes, I was ofthe same impression, and when Jack talks with his father at the and that confirms it too.

Indeed it does, I prefer my WTF to be drawn out and connect in an actual lengthy plot, I just feel that with Lost, it was made for WTF moments without a clear and well thought out 'endgame' so to speak.

There is indeed a reason why so many millions of people watch Lost and American Idol and support Manchester United.:)

The most popular things are usually shit, like reality TV.
Couldn't agree more about the reality TV.

With Lost I think the main problem was that they had to rush it, that is why all of this happened, maybe if they had couple of more seasons time they would have made a better ending with things coming together, who knows now. I'm just happy for the whole show, because to me it was a very entertaining show, especialy the first seasons.

True, as far as I know they didn't had the ending planned form the begging, and I think they even told this themselfs that they didn't had it. I just mean that maybe with more time they would have come up with something more interesting. Because now whole last season is rushed, and the last episodes are just everything mashed into one.

Imo the last episode would have taken almost half of the season if it were made in the first year of lost. But now we will never know. I'm just happy for the entertainment it brought(whole series).

i disagree, if that was the case why were Sawyer and Kate in the afterlife? as both got off the island "alive"

They leave how the ones who get off the island died a mystery. Them meeting up in the church is definitely after all died, though. Those 2 stories they showed at the same time weren't actually happening at the same time.

Jack was alive on the island and they showed a lot from him in the 'afterlife', where he had a son who was god-knows-how-old, when he never had a son, so that had been going on for a while. So it took the others a 'while' to die, before they could find eachother.

I really hope you can make sense of what I'm trying to say here. :D

When Jack spoke with his father before entering the church they, the father said, that where they are now in the church there is no time, so that everybody could have died after jack or before him in the real world it wouldn't made a difference, because the church was outside of time. At least that what I though.

I think Jack's father said something about how time did not matter in the afterlife. Kate and Saywer were not the only ones still alive as Ben and Hurley continued living on the Island after Jack's death.

They all died separately and somehow met up at the afterlife reunion at the same time. Everything that happened on the island happened, they were not dead throughout the series.

I know this for a fact because in the third season the writers stated i an interview that the ending would not be one where everybody had been dead the whole time. Everybody dying in the plane cash had been their original ending if the show had gone on for only one season but they changed it when they heard they were doing a second one and beyond.

Btw, am I right thinking that if Jack wouldn't have fixed the island there probably wouldn't have been any after life for anyone? Maybe this was the catastrophy, just material world, no afterlife, no point in living and etc?
