LOST (Spoilers!)

I lost all interest in it and no longer watch it.

Now we are talking. Season four´s finale is one of the best things I´ve ever watched on tv.

I haven't seen the 3rd season yet, let alone the 4th! Damn ITV.

Apart the previous season which was somewhat of a transition period from point A to B and dragged at large parts, there's nothing bad with the show. People, it started in 2004! Years have passed and everything surrounding the show, changed. From the producers, actors and writers, to tv culture and the whole world in general. It's changing along, it's called evolution and it's pretty natural. If you stopped being nostalgic of the first 2-3 seasons (yes they are great, who would argue?!?) you might as well enjoy the ride. There's no reason in bitching about it.

No relation. It's the same show changing into different directions, it's not something else which wants to be like Lost. What explanation from the writers did you expect about all that, really? Aliens? It's the best i could think of to be honest.

I don't care what the explanation is. Actually, I do, but that's not the reason for my distaste in the program. It's just become to convoluted. There are too many characters and way too much happening. You can't keep track of everything.

What I saw in the first season were a small batch of characters that I actually cared about. I cried during the launch of the raft because 1) I cared about the people on the boat and 2) Giacchino's music was so damn good. I haven't had a feeling like that in the past two episodes no matter how sappy they make the montage or how hard Giacchino tries to get more mileage out of the Oceanic theme.

And once you start introducing time travel you are asking for nothing but trouble!

Ah, I get that, and that's a good reason. Personally, I found season 1 was brilliant though a bit slow sometimes in character development. I like how it's become more intricate and complex, both plotwise and characterwise. In fact, I even liked that some annoying characters (Shannon!) were killed off, and I found all new characters really interesting. One thing where the show hás changed is the time allowed for each character to be developed etc. And that mainly started in Season 4, which is an abbreviated season, and you can tell. Two consequences are that there's less time to get a grasp on the characters and their development both personalitywise and plotwise, which is a negative presumably, but also that there has been explained more, and more rapidly, which presumably is a positive, given how many people were complaining that they weren't being given any solutions, only questions. While I've really enjoyed season 4 and 5, probably more than the first three (also brilliant though), I always thought they were 1/3 too short.
And re: the ending of season 1, the opening of the hatch had a way larger impact on me than the raft departure (which was clearly going nowhere fast ).

Anyway, episode 3:

I liked it, apart from the ending. New music, huzzah! And Aldo!

So, now we have a dark side in Lost too. Well, it has provided Claire with a good aim, no doubt about it.

I´m looking forward to know how did Claire die. When was the last time we saw her alive (season 4?) and how did she disappear? I can´t remember.

I hope they explain what has she been doing in the island for years then (time traveling included). Oh, and why does she look like Rousseau.

And there's going to be an episode two!

Loved the "Where's my son?? Have you seen my son??"

"Don't worry, we'll find your son....is this him?"

"Oh...yeah, thanks!"
