I just spent the last 17 and a half hours watching Lost
Plus food and bathroom breaks. Not like I had anything better to do today.

Seriously great show.

My only question: When the hell does season two start? (Cliffhangers are the fucking DEVIL.)

1. I watched season 2 of the Sopranos! I haven't seen lost yet
but I WILL WATCH ONCE IT"S ON DVD!!! That way I can catch up and start watching next season.

BTW the 2nd season of Sopranos is really good, but then again they all are.

2. I never got into The Sopranos
Mind you I don't watch a whole lot of tv as it is. But some series just scream out for me to watch them, haha. Lost was one of those.

5. 1st through 3rd seasons are still my favorites.
What took you so long to catch up? I finished the fifth season over the course of a 24 marathon the day the DVD came out. I binge on Sopranos.

3. "Lost" is just a gothic soap.
I don't like plots that move slow as molasses, and people who sit and yammer about their relationships and their lives. Said relationships don't matter if they're trying to stay the hell alive in a hostile place. They should have uncovered that Japanese underground base, or buried UFO, or whatever the hell it was, in the third episode by the latest. The series is designed to hide that they have no plot, no drama, and no destination for this show.

And get this - I work for an ABC affiliate that airs this show. I can't help but to see it. There is less plot in this series than in any three of the ancient "Perry Mason" reruns that run in the mid-morning.

8. I loved ''Lost' this season...
but I have a sinking feeling now that they have a hit, they are going to drag it out for years to the point we don't care why they are on this island....like Fox did, in my opinion, with 'X-Files'

10. Did you know it's a remake of another ABC show
Called The New People......

The whole thing is based on that show....

Young people stranded on a desert Island when their plane goes down....

Wht will they do What will they do...

Throw a little of the old occult in just for snicks and grins and viola, you have a hit.....
