  • This show should have already ended. The flashing around now sucks.

  • Okay, it would not have to be a blood sample. A mouth swab would work just fine.

  • Wasn’t this a show about people lost on an island? …..snore…..

  • Well, it seems the creators and showrunners of LOST are up to it again. Creating more mysteries to pile atop the already existing ones. Again we ask the questions: who is doing this, why are they doing, where are they going? I am hoping this season brings more answers because I am getting a little tired of watching a show that seems to be a contest to see who can reveal the least amount of information in a season.

  • Memo to Lost: Just because I don’t understand you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.

  • The leads of this show (Fox and Lilly) are the most boring characters and the worst actors.

    Comment by Jon — December 2, 2008 @ 4:24 pm  Reply to this post
  • To all the LOST haters, each to their own, okay? I love the show, it is very well made, written and acted. Yes, it has its problems (Lilly isn’t my fave, either), but no show or film is perfect. There are a lot of people I know, who like a few posters here, don’t understand the show, so the only thing they can do if they don’t understand it is just bag it. It’s a shame there aren’t more shows like LOST, where the viewer is involved in “working it all out”. Too many shows these days succumb to spoon feeding the audiences like the short attention span babies that the often are. I get sick of shows that make things so friggin obvious, but again, each to their own :)

  • Wasn’t this a show about people lost on an island?

    Yup, and it still is. :)

    And to the others…

    Understanding the show can be tricky, but if you put the effort into it you are rewarded with answers and understanding. Maybe that’s not an ideal formula for all, but the writers certainly are not cheating.

  • For all you LOST hating posters on here, why even check out a sneak peek of something you obviously hate so much? why waste your time? criticism is the cheapest form of intellectualism, and slamming something so many other people love doesn’t make you any smarter, just negative.

    The latest season was amazing, and the flashbacks and flash forwards have been a really creative way to approach the way we get to know these characters. Sure it has it’s flaws, but it’s one of the best things on TV.

  • Pushind Daisies gets cancelled but this crap is still on?

    THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!

  • I would appreciate a huge SPOILER NOTICE instead of showing the video frame. ANY TINY BIT of information about Season 5 is a spoiler and would RUIN my life as I have adopted Lost as my televisual religion.

    Comment by Danny Cohen — December 2, 2008 @ 7:20 pm  Reply to this post
  • oooh can’t wait; snarkers: go work on your crap spec pilots instead of ripping into a very good show.

    Comment by max — December 2, 2008 @ 7:58 pm  Reply to this post
  • THE MOST FUN, MYSTERIOUS show on television! I can’t wait for it to come back.

    Too all the naysayers on here: If you don’t like the show, don’t watch it. And stop boo-hooing because you’re secretly envious that you didn’t create the show.

    Comment by Supportive Actor — December 2, 2008 @ 8:15 pm  Reply to this post
  • @Jason Barnette: The questions you mentioned are not even “mysteries”. I’m sorry man but if you don’t know the answers to those questions then you should not be watching this show. I’m not going to lower myself to answer those questions you mentioned, the answers to them are fairly obvious and were discussed at length last season.

  • @@Nate S: You are so right. If people don’t know that Ben Linus is Spock and Keamy and Lapidus are the two halves of Captain Kirk from that Richard Matheson episode, they only have themselves to blame — it was obvious to my brother, and he’s got Alzheimer’s. Please, for the love of all you hold dear, don’t lower yourself to spew your venom on such unworthy folk, you should save it in case you get bit by a cobra.

  • Lost is one of the best shows on TV. You people are insane. Besides the CSI’s or perhaps Weeds, True Blood, and Big Love, what else is decent on TV? Nada. LOST is a great show. You haters probably hated Twin Peaks tooooo.

    No.

    Oh and Pushing Daisies sucked ass.

    Comment by Jon bites the big one — December 3, 2008 @ 5:26 am  Reply to this post
  • The first year of this show was the best television I’d seen in years. But, the producers really lost (pun intended!) their way when they turned it into an obvious comic book sci-fi extravaganza and paid more attention to plot gotchas than character development. Season 4 was was just plain awful.

    Comment by D.J. — December 3, 2008 @ 8:30 am  Reply to this post
  • SO suprised by all the anti-Lost posts. It is a fantastic show — a complicated but engaging plot, a fantastic premise, great action sequences, amazing actors doing some of the best work on TV, rich, interesting characters, and good writing. I totally understand that it is not everyone cup of tea — but that doesn’t make it a bad show. And yes, the show began with the characters on an island, but that doesn’t mean they have to be stuck in repeat mode for seven seasons.

    Comment by Elle — December 3, 2008 @ 9:18 am  Reply to this post
  • Naturally the people who lack the intelligence to follow an intricate plot are put off by this show. Go watch CSI: Miami or American Idol or some other dreck that appeals to the lowest common denominator. That would probably be more your speed.

  • D.J said “But, the producers really lost (pun intended!) their way ”

    Wow DJ, that pun is so incredibly new, original and clever. It has clearly never been used before a million times. You should get an award for for your wit based on this. Heck, judging by this post, I am guessing your wit is sharp enough to cut diamonds. :D
