Lost is slow....I guess thats why people like it so it can SLOWLY develop plots and characters. While 24 is exciting from the beginning to the end. GRANTED that Season 6 of 24 is getting OLD. But the previous seasons gave us nothing but thrills and cliffs to hang on to. I don't want to wait for a TV show to get good, why can't it be good from the beginning?
I can pick up any season of 24 or any episode of 24 and start watching...clueless as to who's who and find out right away whos the good guys and the bad guys are and get into the plot. With Lost, you can't do it. I tried watching Lost in the middle of season 1. I got lost watching Lost.
Lost is a good series, but 24 wins.
