Lost -- "Further Instructions" -- 10.18.2006
"Further Instructions" The fates of Locke, Eko and Desmond are revealed after the implosion of the hatch. |
lol did u wait til 12:01 est so u could post this?
|
is it just me, but this show is getting a bit boring......questions upon questions......kinda losing it's apeal.
|
So the show's going to get more interesting when we get all the answers? :confused:
I thought the appeal was the mystery of the island? Anyway, I never thought it would have a mass appeal - I thought it would be a successful underground show. |

They can't just, in the next episode, sit down, take the audience by the hand, and reveal everything. Once everything is laid out on the table and all of the mysteries are solved, the show is over. There's nothing left. As long as (1) they provide a satisfying conclusion, and (2) don't start dragging the show down into pointlessness by over-complicating the mysteries, I'll be a happy viewer. (I also think that running the show for longer than five seasons would put a serious strain on it and they'd start running into X-Files territory where they can't actually solve anything and just keep piling more and more junk onto the pile of mysteries.) |
The producers have said they don't want to go past 5 seasons (ie they have 5 seasons of stories and a conclusion in the pipeline, but no more) but it's ultimately going to be ABC's decision whether the show keeps going.

This show is being crushed under the weight of itself... it's losing viewers, or at least Nielson families.

It should be a sticky - it's been two full seasons now. You know how this show plays out. Don't watch and don't post if it does not appeal to you. What's "getting a bit boring" is listening to all the naysayers and their redundant posts about "questions upon questions" and the pace of the show. I hear that Two and Half Men moves along quite quickly and is even funny on occasion. That might be more up to speed. |
Hey OP, please spoilerize the episode summary in your first post.

Do these people honestly expect them to set aside and reveal every mystery in the next few episodes??! What are we supposed to do then?? There's NO show left then! These type of tv viewers need to stick to sitcoms or CSI type shows that resolve themselves everyweek. |
Can't wait!

I have sharpened my pencils and already have my clue notebook open to a fresh page.
I hope Tivo doesn't cut off the last two minutes and there are no backstories and we learn about the T-Rex and all the questions are answered and that the ratings improve. Plus, I really hope Kate wears a skirt and chops rocks again :drool: |

Anyways, this episode looks to be one of the best of the series. |
The show isn't losing ratings, it's down from where it was last season after two episodes, but considering all the things it had going for it (Emmy win for best series, and just released DVD of it's phenomenal first season), it isn't a surprise (imo, Season 2 was subpar on a few fronts). It's still above the season 2 overall average (it took some serious hits last year in the ratings) and seems to overall be redeeming itself for a bit of a sophmore slump.

Last week's Lost pulled in 16.9 million viewers. A year ago it pulled in 20. A 15% drop is not great but it's not catastrophic.

Keep in mind, that without us "type of tv viewers that need to stick to sitcoms or CSI type shows that resolve themselves everyweek" your precious "Lost" will be cancelled, especially if the current ratings drop-off continues...

I hear that Two and Half Men moves along quite quickly and is even funny on occasion. That might be more up to speed. <s>Smith</s>, Jericho, The Nine, Heroes, & Lost all pretty much use the same tired formula of advancing the story (in baby steps) every four to five episodes and leaving us with filler in between. Then you have shows like Smallville that give the audience the payoff at the Season Premiere/Finale, but give us filler in between (although this season might be different). |
Ultimately, if a viewer doesn't like serialized dramas, they shouldn't be watching them. To me, that seems easier than struggling through them week after week just so one can bitch on the Internet.

Okay, could you stick to your sitcoms and CSIs and stop thread crapping in our Lost thread? |
