Thought it was a load of bollocks. 2hours of ad riddled strungout drama to find out it's concluded next year. Waste of time.

TV2 SUCK!!! I'm SURE they were advertising that everything will be revealed. What a load of crap! Shit I don't normally watch the stupid programme, but wife and I decided to stay up and watch it, just to see what the story was with the stupid island. End result? Wait till next season. GRRRRRR!! Had to laugh at the expendible character with the dynamite though :rofl:

My own personal theories:
The island is being used as a drug manufacturing factory. All the animals etc are there to scare/ eat anyone who trys to go inland

or

It's an experiment to see how people react. Lord of the Flys for real. They take the kids away as they deem it to be unfair to subject them to it.

Pretty much the same as the rest of the series. The "new guy" (schoolteacher) being blown to bits was a nice (though perhaps predictable) touch.

To tell you the truth, the formulaic approach, and the pacing being slightly off (a little too pedestrian) has made the series a lot less watchable than it could be. I was reading a novel last night while 'watching' it. The novel won, most of the time.

Yeah, when Lost first started I thought "here's something different" because you have no idea whats happening... I also thought the ad's said "all will be revealed". In the next series I hope they kill off the chick who's brother died... too much drama there... you can kind of guess what will happen in the next series... drop someone down the hole in the hatch (hopefully the dilly blonde who then breaks her neck in the fall), the singer dude will get addicted to drugs again... and the Dr guy will be the hero... blah

I have watched the series hoping it would get better, but NO.
The ending was a bit hopless. Don't think I'll bother watching another series next year. Maybe if they find a motorbike in the tunnel which the chuppy boy rides, it may improve it's value.

and whats with the self professed dynamite expert choosing the worst looking peice of Dynamite to carry?!! :oi-grr: Or am I just forgetting it's TV. Bad TV!

Unfortunately what was going to be a one series something special was popular so the money making studio has decided to extend it's life.

Unfortunately with this show more than most (Serpranos was only designed to go for one series by it's creators), this means the writers are left with a delema of having to intentially put holes in the script in order to account for the new cast members coming in next season. They also then have to come up with more storylines.

Personally I would have prefered if they'd left it as a one season wonder like it was designed to be. The storylines could have been a lot tighter knowing there was only a finite life to it. Now they're trying to drag it out indefinite.

On my scale I'd give it a 2 out of 5. Give me British comedy over Yank mellowdrama any day.

I thought it was pretty good, I've kinda got into Lost, but that ending just blows bollox. wft was that? SO many unanswered questions, and they string it out.

Biggest 'wtf' of the show is how the hell did Captain Cook land his ship there?
What I do like about the show is that it has a relistic edge to it. Most of the stuff on that *could* happen. But then they ruin is with giant polar bears etc.

I also like the way as they focus on one character for that episode, that it shows them before the flight. That's a nice touch.

but what about that well? If no one has discovered the island they're stuck on, then who/how the hell did they dig a pit that deep? I'm thinking from the people who were first stuck there, and the weird woman is left over (how she survived for 16 years..??) And what's on the other side? First thing you do when you get stuck there, is go for a walk!!

And is it just me, or is that big dude a) not loosing weight for being stuck on an island; and b) seems to be a pretty cool bloke to know..?

ditto on the teacher blowing up.. wasn't sure if it was going to happen or not..

oh well, on the hole, I quite like the show, it's different that's for sure. Just didn't like how we got shafted with the last one.
And what else is there left to run another series? I thought another 2 episodes tops..?

Yeah it started off alright... the polar bear thing was just dumb... they featured it what... once? And the thing that blows up tree's... and the crazy French chick... I think the writers have started taking the singers drugs...

Maybe they're all on drugs... might just be a bad trip

Oh did you normal people get to see it last night?? I saw it 6 or 7 weeks ago :whistle:

Obviously it said sfa, but its still the best tv series I've seen this year (although desperate housewifes is good for some hot milfs). Can't wait for next series. Supposed to start filming in september from what I've heard. There was still a bit of drama, the "others" taking out the guys on the raft and they also did manage to open the hatch.

What about that guy that got toasted?? That was cool, you could so tell that was going to happen.

Of course it's not going to answer questions - its a season finale and they want you to tune in next season - "cliffhanger ending".

I've seen worse - that wedding they had on the crappy soap "Dysentry" - sorry, "Die Nasty" - when they had people machine-gun everyone down and the next season (according to mates that watched it) people you saw take definite hits survived unscathed and people who dived behind cover and should've been OK got killed.

I liked Ernst getting blown up - it had a kind of "Pulp Fiction" feel to it. Liked the way Hurley looks at the bits of debris all over him and says "Dude" in that tone of voice that says "you should'n't've done that, now I have bits of you all over my shirt"

The others are obviously close - that boat they had is only short range.

There are things that were done badly - I would have already sent a party around the island - not just landed on part of a large island and assumed it was uninhabited.

That said, I enjoy it - escapism, willing suspension of disbelief etc, if I can enjoy a show in which everyone, irrespective of educational level, can sing beautifully and make up songs on the spot (and have others instinctively know the lyrics to sing along), I can enjoy "Lost"...

I'm waiting for next season when they finally get up on the highest point, or actually walk around the other side and see the 5 star hotel resort that's been there the past few years..

Gutted!
I don't watch a lot of TV, but this was one of the only TV progs that's caught my attention lately. Not that it was particularly good mind. But I was so pissed off with the series finale last night. What the fk do they think they're up to telling people they'll have to wait until next year to see what happens next.

Shite.

I've been following the series "Lost" on TV, and last night was the season final thingy, 2 hours and as far asI am concered it was a very dissapointing ending :(

Now we have to wait until next year to find out whats happening on that damn island... What did you think?

You didn't really expect that "all would be revealed", did you!?

I suspect that Lost will follow the Twin Peaks / X-Files route of never quite revealling what is going on, well not at least until the Network drops it and they suddenly write a conclusion.

well... yeah... I did :no: . They said they would so they should have... I wasn't aware there was a second series... I was building myself up to some ending along the lines of... aliens... or drugs... or reality TV sumfin or other...

when it ended Sam and I both said in unison (sp) "your f**king kidding!" lol :whistle:

Thats the best bit.... they all... wait until next year then drown... it's hard doggy paddling for a year... but they're strong...

its was watchable as a series if you watched the downloaded version, Id hate to think how many ads they managed to stuff in there :(

7th July 2005, 12:54

well if everyone is soo pissed, y not just go to the site or the google and search for a SPoiler :)

lol...that would sovle all the mystery and im sure you will know what happened to the guys on the raft...

From what i think about the story... and NO, its not a spoiler - just what i think, is that the island is some kinda govt operated place...hence that wierd french lady saying about the security monster....

Could be "Area 52" of the US .. muhahhahahahahaha

placidfemme

7th July 2005, 12:57

they put in a LOT of Ad's... everytime they played some suspense music and you thought the good part was just about to happen... it changed to ad's... which totally kills the moment...

I was looking at a "spoiler" site earlier... but couldn't bring myself to read most of it... kind of don't want to know... otherwise then how else will I full my Wednesday evenings next year? lol

7th July 2005, 14:20

load of fucking shit, story line got so far stretched with to much going on they couldn end it

It's not pirates, its "the others". They came to get "the boy" the african american kid, when everyone else thought it was turnip head. Was quite a good bit i reckon, I put $10 on sawyer (he's not going to die) the kids dad and also the asian guy living.

Wonder if hurly is right bout whats down the hatch?? Reckon there is heaps of twinkies and tv dinners??? :rofl:

Yep agree there, I've seen the whole series and that is pretty good imo. Hot chicks and not the worst story line. Oh and the 4th series of 24 wasn't too bad either, not as good as the 3rd though.

I loved Lost, but it wierd the crap out of me. Like the wierd "smoke" stuff that can run away and stuff. But the old bald dude, and the fat guy are my favourite. Seeing him on the scooter made me "Roffle"

I want the DVDs of Series 1 & 2 now!

those "Pirates" were the others!! and I thought it was a good little twist that they nabbed the young boy instead of the baby....

Dont forget Charlie the junkie who's nabbed a madonna full of heroin.....

But I always try to make a point to watch Lost and Third Watch... they are my fav's :) But I'm usually... dazed (for lack of a better word) when watching them so it doesn't really matter what happens... lol I still enjoy them... just not the last one of Lost :( I was really dissapointed with that

lol so did Sam...

As for the "others" taking the kid, that makes perfect sense... John (the hunter guy) had already told the father that there was something "special" about the kid, and when they tried to open the hatch the father had some reaction, and the kid told them not to open it... He has special powers so it only makes sense that the "others" want him...

IMO - The kid is the main character in solving whats up with the island...
