LOST is the greatest show IMO ever made if you watch it al the way trough and I watched it back with my friends and it’s fun to see their reactions to what I like to call WTF moments like when locke died without warning (he is my favorite) and if you look up john locke and his other name jeremy Bentem they were both great philioshophafers (sorry about spelling can’t figure out how to spell it.) but other great ones are Heroes, Prison Break, Jericho

Not Hurley, no it is you who are not intelligent as that is the point, 4 people and 4 sticks, that is how the entire parallels work. You just do not have a creative brain that thinks in a certain way and I feel very sorry for you but nothing any of us can do. You miss out on an awesome show and just look stupid writing a comment that is the point not the criticism.

Yeah, that science thing. Four people are in a submarine; FOUR BLOCKS of C4 explode – and the people swim out. Not only scientifically unbelievable, but extremely horrible writing. The show is filled with crap like this and it is amazing how many people eat it up thinking it to be intelligent.

It isn't.

I will cry and cry and cry and cry and then I'll cry some more.

Not really, but kinda sorta inside. :)

Brilliant. Could not have put it better myself. An excellent summary of the greatest series ever to be written. I love it and will weep buckets when it ends.

I could not agree more Adam and I watched the series through from Series 1 again during recent mobility problems. It was mind boggling the way I could see the patterns and clues in every episode. A masterpiece of skilful writing and the acting is first rate too. I agree with Adam, nothing gets better than LOST.

Wow, I am so glad I just read this. " I feel fortunate that I’ve been able to see the story unfold as I have." That is exactly how I have been feeling since the start of this season. I feel so fortunate to be lucky enough to have been watching it since the end of the 1st season. I own all the DVD's and it's great watching them. But it is a totally different experience watching it episode by episode on tv.

Just think about the first season. Theories and speculation back then were NOWHERE NEAR what the show became. Watching it on DVD I feel as if you miss this total view of the show that can only be attained for those of us that have gotten to watch it most or all of the way through on TV. I feel so lucky to be able to be a part of this amazing weekly mindtrip.

I didn't get to see the Grateful Dead in the 70's, and many other things, but one of my favorite things to be a part of this past decade is Lost, without a doubt. I don't care what anybody might say about this, but I will boldly state that Lost is the best television show I have ever watched. I've lived in this house since last June, and I didn't physically hook my cable up to the tv until Feb 2(the day of the season premiere). I only hope I will be able to find a show I can enjoy half as much as I have loved being a part of this crazy ride for the past 6 years.

Acting not great? Are you blind? It is amazing, the guy who plays Ben for instance, every single movement of the guy's body has a story to tell. I would say it is your interpretation skills that are rather limited. The acting in this even beats the UK shows which is unusual.

I can't it's the best show ever just because I find it hard to define anything that way. BUT, I have absolutely loved Lost. I find it hard to think of another show I've savored like I have this final season. It's moving incredibly fast but doesn't feel rushed like some shows (BSG hint, hint). I have to say TV has some incredible shows these days. The Shield was excellent, Sopranos, Damages, Rescue Me… but Lost is so different. Fantasy without being silly, sci-fi without the lasers, the cultural references, the amazing story arcs. I can go on and on. The acting is good but not great. The writing is really the star.

I regret reading an article giving away the time-travel aspect. I read it, I think, after season 3. I knew right away they had it right. I maybe could have figured it out, and I though about it at one point, but after reading it i knew for sure. Still, it's been an incredible ride.
