Title: So "Lost" is back tonight. Do you care?
Post by: Jeff Wrangler on February 07, 2007, 12:43:31 pm

Once upon a time, I was a rabid fan. But with all the "repeats" and gaps between new episodes last season, and the lapse of time since the last broadcast this fall--not to mention that I'm not engaged by the plotlines involving the Others--I'm afraid the show has "lost" me.

I think I'll be stickin' with Medium come 10 o'clock tonight.

Though Josh Holloway (Sawyer), with his Georgia twang and his scruffy, bad-boy sexiness, is still the hottest man on television. ...  ;D

I'll be watching!       I haven't missed an episode yet.

I pretty much lost interest in "Lost" awhile ago because I felt like I was being jerked around by the writers.  Too many unexplained things, too many characters, too many flashbacks finally got me annoyed to the point where I didn't enjoy it any more.  I didn't have faith that the writers even knew where all this was going.  They seemed to be writing quirky stuff just to put the fans in a tizzy.

I kind of half watched the special and the new episode last night and felt like they connected it a little better, but it's still so distended and overwritten, I don't know how they're going to make it make any more sense this season either.  Too bad, because there are some nice actors in it.  I just wish there weren't so many!  :P

Nicely put, Meryl, as always.  :D

I wonder whether Lost has "jumped the shark," and, if so, at what point did that happen?  ???

It seems to me that that's about ALL they do!  ;D

Meryl,  try watching it again.  They killed off several of the characters last year.  Plus they are now back to focusing on just a few at a time.

Personally I think that last "Great" episode was last seasons finalle.   I wont say which things, just incase some people haven't seen it.

This years opening episode was such a yawn!   In fact, 95% of this years episodes were slow.   But from what I read, that is because J.J. Abrahams didn't write those shows.  He was off making movies.

I hope they can get back into the grove.  I think there are more plots to develope.   But I do agree that sometimes the flashbacks can get too boring.
