Any "Lost" fans here?

I've seen the entire first season, but the second season......well we get it every now and then.

Im lost!:lol: Actual have watched a few shows but never got into it.

Everybody got jokes.....:tt: isn't it like in the top five shows to watch?

I've seen every episode, I like it.

Lost is a tv show for the uneducated. Every show is the exact same thing, it tricks you into thinking you are going to find out something about the plot of the show only to throw another curve ball. It's the ultimate form of TV addiction, you will never find out anything and will just keep having questions about the plot piled on to make you watch more episodes. It isn't even that good of a show, it's just morons can't figure out that the whole existence of the show is to make you watch it more. Smart people turn that sh*t off. Basically you will see a lot of fat housewives watching it and make it get good ratings.

And im not a house wife... it pass the time.. better then something like Law and order.. man that show has been on forever..

F "Lost"...

it's just morons can't figure out that the whole existence of the show is to make you watch it more. Smart people turn that sh*t off. Basically you will see a lot of fat housewives watching it and make it get good ratings. Isn't the existence of any show to get you to watch more? In fact, it's arguable that the purpose of any program is get people to watch commercials (pay networks aside). Think about it... I believe it was Edward R. Murrow that formulated that theory. Regardless, I don't consider myself a moron because I'm entertained by a story. I'd argue that you don't learn anything week to week, but the popular show have always brought up more questions than answers: Sopranos for one. Oh yeah, I'm not a fat housewife either. :bonk: :cheers:

I've seen every episode, I like it. Is season 2 over and has season 3 started?

Think about it... I believe it was Edward R. Murrow that formulated that theory. [QUOTE] Not every program, the fortunate few wish to inform the viewer. I don't watch much TV at all though. Usually if I do, it is because my girlfriend makes me. I end up getting bored and getting on the comp to surf. TV rots the mind. As for commercials, I get rid of those. I use my TV tuner card on my comp to record anything of value, mostly history/discovery channel programs, and set it to not record commercials.

It has an option to cut the comerical for you.. how does it now when it goes to a comercial? I download all my shows then you dont have to pay for cable.

Not to get too philisophical here, but how many free not-for-profit television networks exist other than PBS? That is, those that seek to inform and nothing else; devoid of commercials. While it's an altruistic thought that the History Channel seeks to inform us, or the Discovery Channel seeks to educate us, the fact of the matter is these channels are owned by networks. Networks exist to make money. Money is made by selling advertising. The higher the viewership, the more ad dollars the network can command, see: Superbowl. Some networks air fiction, some documentaries, some music videos, some cartoons etc. The entire point of the Nielsen Ratings system is to estimate viewership for advertisement rates. It's no different than a magazine publishing their circulation (which they must by law) or a website posting the traffic details. It all comes back to our capitalist economy and earning money. As far as commercials are concerned, I have TiVO so I haven't watched a commercial in years. :lol:

I have had a tv tuner card years before TiVo even existed. I got a hi def card, so I don't lose any quality when I run my SLI PCI-E graphics cards to my Plasma HDTV. I forgot about sports, I do watch a lot of sports on TV, especially football hence why I got a HD.

wow, all that over one lil question bout a tv show...:whore: :leaving:

Lost is not a show for 'stupid people'. The style of story telling is typical of J. J. Abrams and simply because you do not enjoy his unconventional style doesn't mean it's simply their to make you watch it more. Alias is an even more extreme example of his style. Lost is more tame because he hasn't really been working on this season. But normally he reveals information slowly and tends to end each episode before a traditional episode would, then start each one where it would normally end. His shows are among the few that actually DO go somewhere. That's what I actually what I like about him. I was at a little talk with the creators of 24 at the Director's Guild after the first season aired and one of the funniest parts about it was them talking about how they made the story up as they went along. Even after they had created 20 episodes they still weren't sure how it would end. But Abrams actually has a plan for things before they happen and can evidence that fact. I think it makes for much more compelling and quality television. And also, Lost fans generally aren't fat hosuewives. It's not their key demographic.

You actually go to conferences about TV shows, wow........ I need no proof other than that.

vol, are you okay? I mean this in the nicest way but lately you seem kinda, well, umm crabby...:scratch: LOL, I need to lay off. I have been kinda mean lately. Sorry guys. I need to stay off nonmotorcycle related stuff. I like to argue too much.

F "Lost"... :withstupi :flush:

LOL, I need to lay off. I have been kinda mean lately. Sorry guys. I need to stay off nonmotorcycle related stuff. I like to argue too much. :hug: is all good!! :hug:

wow, all that over one lil question bout a tv show...:whore: :leaving: You telling me.....:nonod: All I wanted to know is what's going on with the show since we normally don't get to watch it here in Iraq. I guess I'll just wait till I get back home to watch the reruns..........:sorry:

You telling me.....:nonod: All I wanted to know is what's going on with the show since we normally don't get to watch it here in Iraq. I guess I'll just wait till I get back home to watch the reruns..........:sorry: They make DVDs for every show nowadays. Just rent or buy em when you get back. I went into Best Buy the other day and saw a DVD set for the complete series of some show that didn't even last one season. I forget it's name right now, I will post it if I remember.

vol, are you okay? I mean this in the nicest way but lately you seem kinda, well, umm crabby...:scratch: I was kinda wondering... :yikes: In reference to the "noob" label for those that use TiVO... FWIW I live and breathe hi-tech all day, it's my paying job. ;) Unfortunately the technology that is the "coolest" isn't always the easiest. Since I have to make it easy for my wife to understand, the aforementioned TV tuner card is simply not an option for me. Living as a young single male (I don't know your situation Vol) is much different than that of a family man. :dthumb:

That is why it was designed and can make the money it does, because there are a lot of tech noobies.

I wonder how people are "lost" now after reading this thread? :lol:

dude :wtf: is going on!!! I'm so "lost" in this thread! :lol: I watched about 5 minutes of the show and said this show f'n sucks and I changed the channel to something else. I made it through a whole episode but never went back.

We learned some things tonight. :yikes: [Contrary to prior allegations] :whistle: The biggest revelation is that Henry Gale is not Henry Gale. This episode did a good job with him earning your trust helping Locke, then Sayid returns with proof he is NOT Gale. Good stuff, I'm looking forward to next week.

This thread seems to be back on track but let me :jacked: it once again...to address something from before. Nielson Ratings. They suck. Very very unreliable. Not very accurate. Ok...:jacked: over.

I loved the first season, watched the second season, really disliked the beginning of the third season but watched anyway. I wish they hadn't dragged it out so long. They need to take lessons from the directors/writers of Firefly; Tell the story and then move on.

I'm happy with it. As long as they don't kill off Sawyer because he is my weekly eyecandy:wink:
