YA-LOST-T: Is anyone else getting tired of this show?

[Ilmater]

Is anyone else getting a little tired of this show? I mean, I love it. Truly. The plot is fantastic. But they can't keep putting out episodes where almost nothing happens. I'm getting tired of having 100 questions going in to every episode and coming out having maybe answered one or two and I have 10 more to add. It's driving me nuts. I just think they need to move things along a little more quickly.

Does anyone else feel this way? More importantly, are you getting to the point where you would consider not watching it, at least until the series is over so that you can watch everything in a row?

I stopped watching it after the second episode. Are they still on the island?

nope, because the hatch blew up, they were all able to leave on the boat

 

[intogamer]

Yeah too many.. to keep the suspense

 

[olds]

I watched a few minutes of the first episode. Never watched it again.

That would've happened if Gilligan hadn't screwed it up but leaving the drain plugs out.

 

[chambersc]

wait, the island blew up? I haven't watched any of it but.....wth?

as long as the questions remain intriguing, the stories fresh, and the characters interesting, i'm sticking with it.

not island, hatch. actually, it exploded the last episode of last season. actually, imploded, but that's beside the point

 

[Aftermath]

I gave up on it half way through the second season. Started dragging on too much with too many unanswered questions to keep me frothing at the mouth every week for a new episode.
I'll go watch all of the episodes in order sometime after the show goes off the air.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I'm done with LOST, have been for a while now.

 

[Glavinsolo]

I just added seasons 1 and 2 on netflix and I'm not going to watch a single episode of season 3 until it is on DVD.

 

[BooGiMaN]

so what happen when the ratings go down and the network axes the series with all the unanswered questions still lingering...there are going to be a lot of pissed off people

 

[2Xtreme21]

Yeah I agree. They should start answering the questions instead of posing new ones... I find it hard to just keep everything straight in my head.

That, and the 20 minutes of LOST / 40 minutes of commercials every episode doesn't really help things too much, if you ask me.

 

[drinkmorejava]

lol, actually, in the past two weeks I've watched all of the second season. It's pretty great stuff if you can watch it all in a row. Otherwise, yes, it's extremely slow moving.

Why did you not watch it again? Did you know it was going to be good, and thought that one day you could say you only watched a few minutes and never watch again? That day has come. Now what will you do with your life?

Have you moved on to not watching Heroes. So in three years you can say you stopped watching in the first season?

Oh yeah, you HAVE to DVR it. Can't watch it real-time for sure.

J. J. Abraham has an habit of leaving viewers with questions unanswered. After fvckin over the viewers in Alias, I am never watching another show he is involved in.

 

[spaceman]

never watched it.

Exactly. Having a DVR is the only reason I still watch this show.

But I am starting to get to the point of not watching it anymore. I don't think they've answered any real questions this season. Where are Michael and Walt? Why are the others on this island? Why do they keep kidnapping the crash survivors and what happened to the children from the tail section survivors? Why was Locke in a wheelchair? What is special about Claire's baby? And now Desmond is a physic? More question and zero answers.

LOST is the show I most look forward to every week. it just kicks total ass. I love how the back stories always reveal something about the people you didn't know. S2 was a little slow IMO, but so far, S3 is fvcking awesome.

You people who say its slow or want questions answered, just keep watching. And they do answer some questions just very subtely and what not. For instance we had no clue wtf a polar bear was doing on the island in the first season, and now we see there are 2 bear cages that the others have and aren't holding bears. so obviously the bears were captive and got out somehow.

I dunno, i like the whole "answer a question and post some more" type of story line. it keeps me always coming back for more.

Alias was a great show the first two 1/2 season, then it went to crap. I thought the ending was terrible. Extremely dissapointed with how that show ended up, and Lost is setting up to be the same.

We all like that about the show. It just seems like they're artificially dragging ass for the sake of dragging ass. More action, fewer flashbacks/billsh1t

All these questions and only 12 or 13 episodes to answer is frustrating. You would think they would answer more.

Its extremely hard to sit with my girlfriend who hasn't seen the first two seasons and asks what the hell is going on. she is too busy to watch the first two seasons. Thats going to be the hard opart for me.
