I know nothing ever makes sense on this dang show, but I was just wanting some other people's ideas about the show, where it's headed, who's your favorite??
Thanks!

I'm annoyed that there are so many questions left unanswered. (Like the Boone--Shannon business. Remember how she knew that song from "Finding Nemo" and how we all thought that was some big clue, but it really meant nothing? And Boone and his dead nanny??) BUT, Ben and Juliet are two of the best characters on the show now, and they're new, so I don't want to say that I'm unhappy with the new season.
Basically, I've decided to just enjoy it and no longer try to figure anything out. Reading stuff into all the clues is just too hard anymore!

With so many high-quality shows ending or getting cancelled recently (Friends, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), and with the decline in quality of many others (The West Wing, Smallville), not to mention the egregious rise of turgid and tasteless "reality" programming, I'd just about written off TV as an entertainment medium. I was seriously considering ditching my TV and cable subscription in favour of my computer screen and broadband Internet connection.
Then along comes "Lost". I missed the first few episodes, but was able to catch up thanks to BitTorrent. Now I'm hooked. There are several things to like about this show, but here's a quick list:
1) Outstanding, intelligent, layered writing. There are multiple mysteries here, and for every answer we get, more questions emerge.
2) Rich, complex characters. Just when you think you've got a character pegged, you find out something new about them that's often surprising or even shocking. I'm enjoying watching the various relationships emerge and develop.
3) Strong performances. This is a remarkable cast of mostly journeymen actors with a couple of newcomers, and they're all turning in star-making work. Even some of the cameos have featured recognizeable, talented actors (e.g. Mira Furlan, Victoria Hamel).
4) A mysterious and fascinating setting. Of the four main story elements you learned in school, plot, character, theme, and setting, the latter is often the poor, neglected cousin. Not here. The island is dangerous, beautiful, creepy, and undeniably intriguing. It's like a character unto itself. Part of the fun of this show will be unravelling the Island's secrets.
5) Thematic depth. This isn't just a soap opera on a desert island. There are rich metaphors and themes to be mined here, such as on the challenges of morality; on the nature of communities and civilization; on our relationship with nature/the environment; and on spirituality, even mysticism, as well.
I'm grateful to see this show is a hit. Too often lately I've committed to a quality show early on ("Wonderfalls" being the most recent and much-lamented example) only to have a jittery network cancel it prematurely. I'm hoping "Lost" will have a long, successful run--if its creators, cast, and crew keep up the level of quality they've shown so far, I'm sure it will.

Ok I have input on the show. LOST ROCKS!!! Honestly you need to watch season one and two before you watch the third.(That is the one that is on now) If you dont you will totally lost. There is stuff in the current season that you wont understand "bc you didnt watch Claires flashback in season one" or something stupid like that. I just made an example. And I have to saw Hurley is my favorite right now. And Charlie I think.

Lost is very confusing. and you're right, nothing ever makes sense on this show.
just when you think you've got something figured out, more questions pop up leaving me utterly baffled.
but i still like it and watch it regularly.

who knows where its headed, i've lost interest since its gotten so confusing and has way too many flashbacks. if you want more info, spoilers and such go to their website...just type in lost on your search engine for the official site.
