what the hell is lost about???????????

Answer 1

It's just about these people who are lost is all.

Answer 2

The Dharma Initiative was set up to try to avert a global extinction catastrophy, the different stations and experiments on the island designed to avert the downfall of mankind through any number of disasters. The numbers are part of an equation that was meant to calculate/predict the date that disasters would occur and were broadcast so that the 'authorities' involved would be made aware if any of the numbers resulting from the equations would be changed thus extending mans time on earth. The idea is that Hurleys former inmate at the asylum is a former Dharma Initiative 'employee'.

The island itself is obviously an area of ancient 'power', like a junction of ley lines and has likely 'reached out' across the globe to attract the very people it needs to complete the task given to it.

So I think it'll end with the numbers being changed via the abilities of the people who have been brought there, everyone will play a part in changing the formula

Answer 3

Basically, it's about a bunch of people who survived a plane crash on an island. First season, they tried to survive, find water, food, etc, while we got to know their pasts before the crash. Meanwhile, the island is full of mysteries, monsters, visions, hatches, and it turned out, "Others", people who already live there and who may or may not be evil. Second season, they got into a hatch underground and it turned more into a psychological theme. Third season, it has been more about the Others, as the original group of survivors is all separated in different adventures.

This show has a tremendously rabid fan base that look and overanalyzes every element of the show. It has a complicated mythology that has heaped mystery upon mystery as the show continues. Many people are disappointed with the show because it does not resolve the mysteries, or because it has not met their expectations after a fantastic Season 1.

I still love it and think it is the best show on TV right now, but if you want to get into it, I suggest you see it from the start.

Answer 4

Well, apparently, according to something I read recently, even the producers/writers don't yet know the ending. It could be "all a dream" for one character, it could be some sort of scientific experiement by aliens - absolutely anything.
Basically it appears they created a very very wierd series and kept on making it wierder but without really having a reason.
"And it was all a dream" I think is a rather lame way of getting out of it. Personally.

Answer 5

A damned good question for a change, although i don't have the answer, i watched the first, second and half the third episode. I then felt like slitting my wrists, so i didn't watch it anymore. And may i say what an excellent answer from haggisbasher i haven't heard that word for ages.

Answer 6

I gave up on that show over a year ago. They succeeded in getting me completely LOST.

Answer 7

I don't know anymore. I'm considering jumping ship on this show if they don't wise up. It's like some wacko dream someone would have after a night of heavy drinking.

Answer 8

A plan crash, stranded people on an island that was used as an experimental land for government/military experiments.(in a nut shell)
