10 Feb 10 - 07:01 PM (#2835537) Subject: BS: Lost From: SINSULL I watched the show at the beginning - spectacular special effects, interesting characters, intriguing story line. And then iI went off in so many different directions, I wasn't sure who was on first or why. With the final season starting they are showing the episodes with ongoing subtitles referring to previous episodes to explain who, what, where, why, abd how the scene or character fits into the plot. And I am more confused. Time travel. an alien race, mutant animals, a Fountain of Youth, a hydrogen bomb......what have I missed? If you need crib noted to understand what on earth is going on, why bother watching? I had less trouble following The Sound And The Fury. Any fans to enlighten me? SINS |

My daughter, who is a fan, says this on her Facebook page: Is watching the Lost Season 6 Premier and is thoroughly confused, despite having spent the day watching the last five episodes of season 5. |

11 Feb 10 - 07:53 AM (#2835972) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: SINSULL It has a plot? Characters aren't even consistently dead or alive. Two guys in my office are hooked on it and have the most hilarious conversations. Each has to remind the other "No. In Episode 4 it was pink." Or "That's the guy who picked up the suitcase in Episode 1. He died in the crash." So why is he walking around annoying people now? |

11 Feb 10 - 10:18 AM (#2836103) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: Jeri The giant comic-book polar bear on this tropical island sort of closed a door for me. This is a fantasy land. Come to think of it, you know how they keep re-making old shows? This is the Battlestar Galactica treatment of Gilligan's Island. Ok, well Gilligan's Island plus The Prisoner plus whatever that western was where people were in an old west town that was really Purgatory. I think they're dead, although I'd love for them not to be. There's a possiblity that they lost cabin pressure, and are suffering some mass hallucination due to oxygen deprivation and will wake up at the end of the series and go home, or maybe they're all in the Flarboggian mothership, neurologically linked (a la Matrix). I think they're dead. I might watch the last few episodes. |

11 Feb 10 - 11:13 AM (#2836182) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: JohnInKansas At the closing of the last broadcast, the psycho having this hallucination will wake up in a rubber room with his arms buckled behind him in a canvas shirt. The merciful executioner will enter to take him to his "relief" from the tortures within his scrambled mind. (In a possible variant, he will escape from the canvas shirt, kill the executioner, and disappear to "dream again," but that variation will only be aired if the producers think there might be profit in having a sequel.)

11 Feb 10 - 12:18 PM (#2836246) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: Liz the Squeak It probably all ends with the pilot waking up in bed and the co-pilot in the shower... Ah... gotta love scriptwriters! LTS |

11 Feb 10 - 12:38 PM (#2836264) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: Jeri They're gonna find the Emerald City on the Other Side of the island, and the Wizard will show them that they already possess what they desire, then bugger off when a missile launches from under the island and he rides it a la Dr Strangelove, up, up, and over the previously jumped shark. Then Glinda the Good Witch will pass out the Dharma Ruby Slippers, which they will all click three times while chanting 'There's no place like home' and one by one they'll disappear from the beach, leaving only their footprints in the sand which will remain until the small purple-furred hermit crab scuttles in and the the tide comes in to wash everything away. Auntie Em, Auntie Em... |

11 Feb 10 - 10:23 PM (#2836757) Subject: RE: BS: Lost From: katlaughing Jeri, you missed your calling. They pay big bucks for that kind of scriptwriting! I missed the polar bear. When was that?? Jeepers! Must be looking for the iceberg. I think it's more of a mix between Twilight Zone and X-files, plus those others mentioned above. |

And besides, I don't have cable, so I miss a huge number of shows that the rich people watch. But Wikipedia fills me in, and now I can be an expert on most everything.... -Joey- |

12 Feb 10 - 07:13 PM (#2837659) Subject: RE: BS: Lost (the TV series) From: Jerry Rasmussen Why am I not surprised that Lost would get panned on a folk music site? Yeah, it's confusing, and at times I too have gotten "lost" but I think it's the best series I've ever seen on television. Maybe I don't find being confused all that upsetting. It happens to me every day. :-) Jerry ... a GREAT fan of the show! |
