[ale] OT - LOST was: Not so evil empire

[Jeff Lightner]

I really liked the first season but missed various episodes in the
second season and pretty much gave up on it.

 

For real cliffhanger hard to watch try 24.   Good action but the
cliffhanger at end of every episode is something I really never cared
for.   Also having his daughter get kidnapped again in the second season
was a bit much so I quit watching.

 

At least in the old Batman series the cliffhanger was answered on the
very next night at the same Bat time and same Bat Channel!

For those of you that have watched further: does "Lost" get
better (by which I mean: does the overall storyline become more
coherent, do we actually
get to figure out WTF is going on to any significant degree, does it
seem like the writers
have any plan besides "Keep the audience on the hook and the advertising
dollars rolling
in") in later seasons?

I didn't want to say anything originally, but since you asked: In short:
no. I really think the show has gone progressively down hill. It's still
cliff hanger, after commercial, after cliff hanger, after commercial,
after cliff hanger, bam new season. Lately, it has been kind of letting
you know what has been going on, but I don't think it's that interesting
and they've definitely made it more sci-fi. I think they've taken the
sci-fi bit a little too far, but I don't want to ruin anything. It
definitely feels like they have been making stuff up as they go and now
they're trying to bring everything together and it's all very
unbelievable. The writing lately, IMO, has been awful, mainly the
character dialogue. 

I don't know why, but I keep watching, because I really want it to be a
good show. I've already sat through season 2, which is a huge bore, so I
might as well make it all the way to the end. I used to recommend the
show to people, but I don't know if I can do that anymore. Season 1 is
my favorite, so you might not want to ruin the series for yourself and
continue on to the later seasons. If you do, don't expect them to be
anything like season 1. Oh ya, and the flashbacks about people doesn't
stop, and that was always my least favorite part of the series; they're
on a freaking cool island!
