Here it is, everyone...a thread dedicated to that most unusual of shows: Lost.
What do you like? What don't you like? Favourite characters? What do you think might happen? It all goes here:)

I like reading about the theories. I hope it's not purgatory, though. That's already been done. I like the idea that the island is sentient. It's alive. ALIVE!
I love Locke. The creepiest nice guy or the nicest creepy guy. Love him.
Sawyer is fun to watch. And, well, he's nice looking.
Claire and Charlie.
Sayid and Shannon. Or Sayid doing anything. Alone. Making glasses. Walking. Sayid is a fantastic character.
Love the crazy French babe. Love Hurley being so darn nice. Love that the backstory for the Korean couple was not at all what I was expecting.
I think Boone won't last past the next episode. And I can't say I care all that much, other than I'll feel bad for the doctor, and the people who care about Boone.
I can't wait until Charlie finds all the heroin. Poor lil' hobbity guy.

I'm a recent convert, so I have a lot of gaps to fill in, but I love everything so far. I love the writing, and it's finally something original that's not a reality show. Locke is definitely cool, and last weeks episode was quite unexpected. I can't wait to see what's beyond the hatch!

Lost makes me nervous. I'm old enough to appreciate what they're doing with the story but afraid that the reveal will either suck (a la every "twist" ending since The Sixth Sense) or that they'll lose the thread (like the X-Files). I know that they've said in interviews that this is a five-year plan, but so did Odyssey Five - that never even made it to season 2...
I think I enjoy the show, although I tell Heather that I only watch it to keep her company. If that were the case, I'd watch alot of true medical shows...
Thanks for starting the thread Uvagirl, I'll try to think of something worthwhile to post here.

Woohoo! Thanks for starting this UvaGirl. For all you Sawyer-lovers, he's on the cover of TV Guide this week.
I love Locke. The creepiest nice guy or the nicest creepy guy. Love him.Perfectly said. :snap:
I'm a Jack-lover. It's his whole wounded doctor thing I think.

Huge Locke fan. The philosopher. The outdoorsman. We need more of his backstory, because at this point, we have no idea how he can do what he can do or how he knows what he knows. While his most recent backstory was good, it didn't give me what I wanted.
Love Hurley. Something about him.
I suppose the thing is that I don't DISlike any of he characters. I think they are all well written and developed.
I think Boone's gonna eat it next ep on Wednesday as well, Eliza.
The thing about the show is you've gotta give up enough while you introduce more. If you never clear up anything or give the answers to certain long running questions, the viewers become frustrated. If you reveal too much, it isn't as much fun. Fine line. For example, I was glad they did something with the hatch finally. Didn't reveal it all - just more. The excavation....the light.
There are still many, many questions out there to be resolved.
The monster
Who was Ethan, how did he get there, who else is with him
The polar bear
The numbers
The voices in the jungle
The full story of the hatch
What else am I missing?

Huge Locke fan. The philosopher. The outdoorsman.
Locke's an alright philosopher, but I much prefer the likes of Nietzsche and Sartre. Can't say much about their outdoorsmanship though, for that Thoreau probably's my fav. You know, I kind of feel lost in this thread...

I saw Lost once. Actually, I turned it off before the episode was finished. Something about the Hobbit stealing a Churchill artifact and a pregnant woman and some creepy guy. I couldn't figure out how creepy guy got on the island - and if he was there, why couldn't they get off? Anyways, in my usual fashion, I got bored. :rolleyes:

I thought they were going to show the light coming from the hatch this week, I guess it was just a teaser last week to keep you watching.
I am so sad that Boone is gone. I really liked him, i would've rather seen Shannon go!
So now it looks like Sayid is going to kill Locke. As my husband says " I can't see Sayid missing anything he was shooting at, so it looks like Locke is dead."

I actually loved that Locke was such a presence in an episode where he was absent. Felt like he was looming over everything.
Loved Matthew Fox’s performance.
Loved watching Jin (wait, Jin is the man, yes?) running through the forest. He’s, uh, attractive. Yes, very attractive. Like ALL of the Survivors of the plane crash. The LOST Island, where pretty people come to freak out and flirt and FREAK OUT some more!
I thought Kate was terrific during the birthing scene. And Shannon’s reaction to Boone’s dead body was heartbreaking, even though I felt more bad for her and Jack than for Boone. Boone the Boring.
RIP, dude.

I liked sweet little Boone. I pissed me off that he risked his life for maybe nothing. It's not Locke's fault but why didn't he come back to stand by the little guy?
This show is a little like XFiles and Twin Peaks on a beach. You're never sure what's going to happen next! I love it and JACK. Jack the good hearted hero doctor. He's just so hot. Course I love Sawyer too. He's so bad and such a jerk sometimes but under that hard HOT exterior is a nice guy. I just know it!

All new show and yea, they moved it around and took forever to come back.
Suggestion: Invest in TIVO or some other form of DVR. Trust me, it's the best thing since sliced bread. Never miss another show.

X-Files meets Twin Peaks.... yeah, that's about it! I love that. I love that there is a good, entertaining show on, and most especially, that it's ****NOT**** reality tv. :) I love that the island seems to have a mind of its own.
Of course, the down-side to TiVo is that you see the answers before you watch the show. Doesn't upset me, but I have to make sure I don't say anything to my hubby. :)
I do hope they answer the questions before they end the show... hopefully it'll play out its full 5 years and answer them all naturally.

I too love this show. I have not watched it this last week, but it is on my DVR and it will get watched. I already had already figured on Boone's fate, so I'm not too surprised.
