Ben Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Lost is an American serial drama television series. It follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life. The series was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber, and is filmed primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004. Since then, four seasons have aired. The series is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions and airs on the ABC Network in the United States. Its soundtrack is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender and Carlton Cuse. Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television. The fifth series commences on the 21st of January (Or so I've been told, correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm looking forward to it, do we have any Lost fans amongst us?!

Shame you didn't enjoy it, I love the series. Is it because you found it complicated to get into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggiesfan Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 i wouldnt say it was that, i just didnt like it it was all too far fetched for me, although i love 24 and most people would say the same about that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't have them myself so haven't really watched anymore than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggiesfan Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 i just think the Americans do TV much better than we do, all we seem to have are endless "reality" shows and soaps, they have things like The West Wing The Sopranos Prison Break Six Feet Under 24 Rescue Me and so on the only thing i think we have done that even comes close in the last few years was Life On Mars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ben, we already have a thread for series 3 (part 2!) and series 4, so I've edited this thread so we can discuss series 5. Can I ask that those in the US use spoiler tags, but once it's been broadcast in the UK, there's no need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask that those in the US use spoiler tags, but once it's been broadcast in the UK, there's no need. I did look. To be fair, series 4 thread hasn't been posted in since June, so that was easy to over-look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 * Sticks hand up * I love this show and can't wait for the new series! Me neither! Do you think Locke's dead? It's a shame.. I think he is but I wonder how he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I watched the first series of this show and thats it.

Purple Princess Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The fifth series commences on the 21st of January (Or so I've been told, correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm looking forward to it, do we have any Lost fans amongst us?! I love Lost too! But it doesn't start back until the 25th of Jan, which is next Sunday Unfortunately I don't have Sky so will have to rely on my Mum being able to operate the recorder on her own!!!

Michelle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It starts on the 21st in the US.. we have to wait a few days for it. Anyhow, as this is now a 'series 5' thread, who is looking forward it? I have to admit that I prefer the earlier ones, but I'm still rather excited!

Anyhow, as this is now a 'series 5' thread, who is looking forward it? I have to admit that I prefer the earlier ones, but I'm still rather excited! I'm definitely looking forward to it! I'll be watching it on the 25th. What does everyone think is going to happen regarding them getting back to the island. I was amazingly shocked that Claire was related to Jack! And does everyone think that Locke is dead? And if so how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Oh for goodness sake - as if this programme wasn't confusing enough already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 As much as I preferred the earlier stuff, before all this time travel business started, I'm quite enjoying tonight's episode so far! I'm not going to try to think too deeply about it, just go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I love LOST too. I have received the first two episodes....prob will be watching them tonight....although I believe there's NCIS on today - another programme which I'm loving!

Lilywhite Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 As much as I love Lost, I've just lost interest in it now (no pun intended). I don't have a great memory so this whole stringing it out for 5 years lark, really wasn't the best idea for me. I have a real problem getting my head around time travel too, so it's just not working for me any more. I am still watching although a little half heartedly.

Karen1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I finally finished my S4 rewatch last night and have just seen the first two episodes of Season 5. Although I admit the whole time travel thing is a little weird, I still love this show. Oh and how cool was it when (not sure whether it's okay to discuss this without the spoiler tags or not so to be safe I'll use them) ... Ana-Lucia stopped Hurley. That was kind of cool!

Michelle Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm not keen on the time travel side of things, but then I guess in a long show you're bound to get things like that.. and I actually preferred the way that it was presented in the start of series 5. There's still something about it I just love.. it was so nice to have it back on a Sunday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 This just made me laugh on one of the lost forums.. I actually think this is when the worst happens.I think it's some sort of space time continuum situation. If they meet together, it might be an armageddon. At which point the Tardis will materialize on the island and the Doctor will jump in to prevent a catastrophic paradox. Shortly thereafter we'll find out the entire island was an alien time-travel experiment gone amuck and the Daleks will appear to exterminate all the remaining survivors. Don't know about you, but I'd watch that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've not long finished watching Episode 3 and although I wasn't too keen on the whole time travel thing it's really beginning to grow on me now. I still don't really get it as such, but it's certainly getting interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessponti Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looking forward to episode 3 tomorrow night - after 1 and 2 - I'm as confused as ever!!! What's going on!!! ....was nice to see old friends though, have missed Hurley and Sawyer being on my tv ...karen, it was a great moment with Anna Lucia!!! a real lean forward in your chair moment. Don't know what the who is going on though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
