Plain Old Tele Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Don't worry about the last 6. There's lots of internet hate toward the show. I understand the sentiment, but nonetheless it's a great, groundbreaking series. Heads up, though: don't sweat all the crazy mysteries and expect everything to be answered. Many things aren't, and some of the ones that are end up being more prosaic and less interesting than when they were mysterious and unknown. Watch it for the many great characters, some genius plotting, some wild twists, and just go on the whole crazy ride. So many shows tried to imitate its twists and turns and cliffhangers, but they missed the most important ingredient: the reason all of that works in LOST is because of the characters and our emotional connection to them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Season 1 is the best. The next best sequence is the final third of Season 3 (starting with "Catch-22"). Those 6-7 episodes are a great stretch of building tension, character drama, and revelations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 6-7 episodes are a great stretch of building tension, character drama, and revelations. There are gems scattered throughout, though. It's really amazing how out there they got with some of their metaphysical and science-fiction concepts (even if some aren't quite nailed or become a bit too literal).

4815162342 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A problem was that they got so out there with some bits they tried to reel it back in but overcorrected and the result was a kinda unsatisfying shrug of an answer. Season 4 is the best full season after Season 1 I think. It has a couple stumbles, namely the Appendectomy Episode, but it was a fresh new take on the plot structure for the show, even if the writer's strike cut it down by a couple episodes.

Damn you! ANSWERS!(Please take no personal offence. This is directed at the universe in general.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Gary Scott Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Lost is my second favorite show of all time. I totally agree with tele the show isnt about the mysteries that fascinate me its the characters.

Heretic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I started watching Lost recently too. Absolutely love it. On the 2nd season now after watching the first in 2 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love Lost as a whole too but I gotta admit it has some major warts (the slowness of Season 2 and much of Season 3, the...issues of Season 6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Never seen a single episode of this show. I do plan to do it eventually though, in part because of the huge nerdrage the ending caused(which I've read a lot about).

Plain Old Tele Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Also, Michael Giacchino's music is so iconic it's practically a sub-genre in and of itself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I found the proper ending, like the last 10 or so minutes, incredibly moving. I have no qualms in saying I cried a river. It's some of the other issues beforehand I have problems with, but not enough to undo all the wonderful stuff they did throughout the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in terms of emotional character moments they absolutely nailed the ending. The last few shots are pitch-perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
