Did you like the TV series LOST?

[kelric]

Frank: You should meatloaf because it's realllllly good!
Jill: Uggh, I think meatloaf sucks.
Frank: But I like it! What's your problem?
Jill: You're just an idiot for liking meatloaf.
Frank: It tastes good!
Jill: It tastes like bull turds!
Frank: Hater!
Jill: Fanboy!
Frank: *shoves meatloaf in Jill's hair*
Jill: *hits Frank over head with Lost Season 5 DVD pack*

This sounds like some sort of pre-teen courting ritual, does it not?

But really, yeah. Lost is (was ) sort of "out there" as far as TV goes, so more people will tend to either like or dislike it than your average pulp show. I'm sure we all like something that someone else thinks is stupid.

It's always easier to dismiss someone's opinion if you can lead yourself to believe they were biased in some way ahead of time... as if I was biased to like Lost before it even aired.

Nice logic there, girl.

Go back to the part where I said, "Apparently it worked for me, and apparently it did not work for others... and that's fine."
Reread it a few times and chew on it.
That's why conversations like this irritate me: Arguing over preference is ridiculous.

Meh.

Hey, I placed a smile at the end of the sentence...I wasn't being serious

So, is it worth getting all the seasons out on DVD? I watched the first season religously and part of the second series...but due to work comittments, and an unreliable flat mate who never frackin' taped it for me, I lost the plot so to speak.
Always seemed like one of those shows, that it helps to watch back to back if you can.

Smileys dont negate content.

Boooooooooooo & Lol

You can determine that by watching 5 episodes of a 6 season show? Not bad.

So you go out of your way to watch all the shows that you don't enjoy after a few episodes? Your dedication is impressive.

I did see a lot of bits and pieces of it over the years, as my bf watched it religiously, but I don't count that as "watching" since I was usually doing something else in the room.

If you have good streaming, i think that abc.com has lots of episodes on site for free. DVDS are convenient but expensive unless you think its worth the financial investment..

.i mean, do you plan to watch the episodes enuf to warrant the cost?

check out eBay for cheaper pricing.

Enough to know I didn't want to step in it and spend ages cleaning it off again; it has to be one of those snap decisions reallly

It's too late for that, you're in this thread!

Netflix has season 1-5 available for unlimited streaming for its members as of the now.

So what does it mean if you neither loved nor hated it, but rather thought it was thoroughly mediocre (but watchable on a boring day)?

Thoroughly mediocre is an awesome descriptor.

 

[highlander]

I'm interested too to know what types really LOVED it, and conversely DETESTED it - or if like me you loved it at first then fell out of it.

So - do expand your thoughts, I think my offended Fi was an issue at play here

I loved the show for the first couple of seasons and have to admit the past few seasons were not as good but I watched them anyway. I really enjoyed the last episode.

I was addressing the fact that you called it "just as mindless and superficially entertaining as most of what's on tv, but it pretends to be more." Whether you liked it or not has nothing to do with it.

I didn't get into it until the 4th season was showing, and then I sat the first 3 seasons as a marathon so it was easy to get swept away.

I did enjoy it up to a point, but the last season was pointless as was the crap season finale they gave us.
