What's amazing is I didn't like lost at first, I remember watching the pilot and thinking "god this is crap", it wasn't until late season 1 when I really got into it

WHAT! Most people loved it from beginning till end of Season 1, at least. I myself has never stopped loving it.

Amazingly sad. For the last six years we've followed these characters and come June 2010, they're all gone :cry: Sure this show has had its lows, but I still love this show and the wonderful story that Lindelof and Cuse have given us.

All great things must come to an end though. There are shows out there that continue to shovel **** out just to continue to make money (The Simpsons). In my opinion there is no show past/current that even comes close to the brilliance that is LOST. I would rather it end in an amazing way than follow down the dollar sign.

yeah it's amazing that it's been almost six years...time flies like an Oceanic jet, and the results for most people are equally disasterous.

as for the show, no big hopes for the last season, i'm convinced at this point the main people behind the excellent first two seasons have moved on to other projects and the expanded team of writers don't know what they're doing. but then who knows, JJ might come back to be more involved now that both Cloverfield and Star Trek are behind him.

Not sure what you mean, the main people behind Lost when it started are still involved:

Damon Lindelof - writer

Carlton Cuse - writer

Jack Bender - director

Bryan Burk - executive producer

JJ also serves as executive producer and has had input from time to time IIRC.

Jeffrey Lieber was involved in the screen play for the pilot, but nothing else from there.

Other people write for the show, for sure, but the overall story that they wanted to tell when they created the show is still in play, and the fact that they were given shorter episode numbers for the last three seasons helped ensure that they keep focus in the episodes and not wander off like they did with several of them.

I almost gave up during the first half of season three. Lucky I didn't!

I thought the 2nd half of Season 3 was better than the first! (Well, minus the Nikki/Paulo episode)

Well, I felt that after the end date was announced (around the middle of season 3), the show bounced back big time. Most of the episodes (at least the flashbacks, if not the entire episode) after the then mid-season break and the Nikki/Paulo one were cringe-worthy, I felt. The episodes where Jack got tattooed and Claire was chasing pigeons were as bad as Nikki/Paulo ones. Desmond's time-flashing episode was a silver lining, though.

I don't know how people never liked the first episode :s

Even I didn't like it for much of the pilot. It felt like watching a rehash of the same old formula - getting marooned on a desolate island, fight with monstrous animals and finally the heroes will triumph over all odds and get rescued. :p

Really? I knew something was different, that's what made me love it. I mean, I liked then after Smokey started bringing down trees, you knew something was up. You better like the pilot now, because I'm 90% it will have something to do with this season again.

Once I realized that this was not just Cast Away with a bigger cast, there was no looking back. But it wasn't the sound of the monster ripping the trees or the pilot that gave that realization. Sure it did poke at my curiosity but nothing more. Rather it was the flashbacks, which hinted that the story didn't start with getting stuck on the island, and probably won't end with a rescue either. And the shot of Lock embracing the rain at the end of the first episode was intriguing.

On reminiscing the pilot scenes, I just realized that the Season 5 scene where Ben falls through the floor in the Temple(?) had a parallel in the Pilot itself. After Ben falls, fake-Locke goes away to seemingly to help him leaving Ben alone. Smokey and Alex then apparates and terrorizes Ben and when they leave fake-Locke returns as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.. When Jack, Kate and Charlie were escaping from the cockpit after the monster "ate" the pilot, Charlie falls, and Jack goes to help him leaving Kate alone. Smokey then terrorizes her till she tries out Jack's let-fear-in-but-only-for-five-seconds trick. Soon after, Jack returns as if nothing was wrong.

Probably there is nothing to this, but the coincidence(?) struck me!

...because it wasn't that great and as soumyasch it was the same usual marooned on island stuff but as I said later on in Season 1 beginning of Season 2 I knew it was good so I went back.

I was enthralled by the first episode for some reason. That being said, all the intricate back-stories and connections between episodes really did me in and there was no going back.

At that point Lost had become cooler than I had ever imagined. :p

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
