One thing I'll recommend - don't go in search of rumors/spoilers. Some of them will give away things that will definitely ruin some suspense.

I also just got done watching the series on DVD from start to finish (still working on the extras). I had watched the first 3 episodes when they first aired, but at that point had stopped watching TV, so I never followed. All around excellent with a great cast and an engrossing story that pulls you in.

I was thinking how cool it would be if when they opened the hatch and looked down, they saw the "other survivors" looking back at them in the same way.

I have done a good job of avoiding future spoilers, so I can't wait to catch season 2, which will be so much harder now that I will have to wait a whole week at a time to find out what happens next instead of 30 seconds.

Just finished watching S1 on DVD, this show is crack.

Lost=Crack.

I am sooo glad Smallville moved to Thursdays so I can watch S2 on Wed.

Sick

Good comparison, haha. At least you didn't say heroine .

How do you think it felt watching the finale and having to wait almost 4 damn months!?

Season 2 is only going to be about Kate, right?

LOST is a great show, and I thought the Season 1 finale was fantastic, one of the best season finales I've seen for a show in a long time.

(I honestly don't understand people who hated it - I mean did they expect a series that's going to continue to just answer the mysteries it has created and have nothing to go on for the next season?)

Here in Oklahoma it would be Meth. Anyway, the show is highly addicting and is very hard to not talk about with your friends.

Gah for some reason, though she is insanely attractive, I do NOT like her character. It's not that shes portrayed a criminal, or that she MIGHT have done things wrong, there's something about her I can't place! It might be the do anything hurt anyone persona that she tosses around.

I think those of us that were dissappointed wanted a little more answers and introducing some new mysteries.

They did the latter with the others taking Walt, would have been nice to gotten more about what was in the hatch to tide us over.

But still a very good show, and a good first season and I can't wait until the 21st!

FWIW, I just figured out that Leslie Arzst is an anagram for: "taller sizes"

Also, why wasn't Charlie late to the flight if Hugo saw him in the elevator when he was running late?

charlie was running late, too, but his car didn't break down.

OK I had another question. In the last episode, when Jack was talking to Locke about why Locke told Jack to let him go into the hole (pulled in by the monster), Locke told Jack that the island was testing them etc. Jack asked about Boone and Locke told him that Boone was a sacrifice. Well...why didn't he ask Locke about the others who have died on the island too, like the chick who drowned at sea or Scott or Steve who was killed by Ethan? How would Locke explain their deaths?

Have to say I'm enjoying it much more the second time around on DVD. Through 20 episodes so far.

Will have to see how the last 4 are on second viewing as that's when I started to get annoyed the first time around.

I don't know if this was brought up before about Charlie, but it seemed he went up to the bathroom in the front of the plane to do his drugs. He was tossed around in that restroom then ran out and went to a seat that looked to be close, how did he end up back in the other part of the plane that came to rest on the beach.
Mike

It’s a moot point. Look at Jack, he woke up about 100 yards away in a field of bamboo so thick he should have been skewered by at the very least one of them.

Just finished the season.

My opinion was unchanged, the show spins it's wheels to much, giving us very little in these 4 eps until the end of the finale with the Others taking Walt.

Really nothing new on the island other than finding out the Black Rock is a slave ship and that the hatch is pretty deep. The flashbacks in the last 4 episodes aren't among the most compelling overall either.

Anyway, a great season, but it definitely faltered down the stretch for me. Hopefully it won't do the same this year.

Figured it was time to bump this baby up.

Watched the final ep again and I have one problem:

If I was Jack, Kate, Sawyer, or Hurley, and Desmond just popped back with a boat, my ass is getting on the boat and trying to go home. Fuck Michael, fuck the button, fuck the Others. I'm trying to get my sail on.

And if I'm Sayid, Jin, and Sun? I'm leaving right now.

But that's just me.

And I know it's a show and there'd be no finale if they did leave, but it wasn't even an option for them, which I found a little strange. NO ONE tried to hijack the boat?

yeah, but desmond said he'd been sailing due west for quite some time, and ended right back at the island.

Tomorrow night:

"Man of Science, Man of Faith"
One of the castaways is chosen to descend into the mysterious hatch, and Shannon stumbles upon a shockingly familiar face in the jungle.


I won't be watching the reruns as religiously as I did last season's but I will be watching them. How many of you will be too?

I'll probably watch a few of them, this one for sure. I really liked this ep.

I'll be watching for the episode with Kate crawling through the ducts in the hatch. I somehow missed that the first time around. Not the episode, just the good cleavage shots I heard about.

Beyond that, I probably won't watch. My primary reason is that I don't want the over-exposure. I plan to get the DVDs and don't want to be bored with the episodes before I get around to watching them on DVD. My second reason is that I'm using the summer to get caught up on my backlog of TV-on-DVD. I'd prefer to use my free time for something new rather than something I just watched recently. I have 24: Season 1, Monk: Seasons 1-3, Veronica Mars: Season 1 and The X-Files to keep me busy. Other than the X-Files (which I've not seen since the original airings), those shows are all new to me.
