Confusion sets in as LOST arrives on XBVM

the hatch is where Desmond ended up after getting lost while on a sailing race, where he pushed a set of numbers (the same numbers that Hurly won the lottery with) into a computer to save the world. GOD Don't you know anything???

Man, if that's true this show is even more ridiculous than I thought. Apparently they have a Burger King on the island too because it's the only way I can think of that that one guy has remained so big for 90 days.

Dude it's only been 70 days, not 90! jeez

OK, 70. Same point stands. Other people have told me 91, so apparently even that's confusing to people.

I've been a fan of this show since day 1. I thought the recap from last night was phenomenal and felt that anyone who had never seen the show could have watched it and been up to speed.

It's not really confusing at all. It's just a different way of telling a narrative, kind of like the movie, Memento or Pulp Fiction. They just tell you a piece of a large story out of sequence and eventually the who picture will be revealed.
If you just sit back and watch with an open mind and look for clues you'll get it after the first few episodes. The people that don't like it maybe watched an episode or two,not at all or were told the basic premise and weren't attracted to it.
A friend of mine didn't want to watch it just because I was so enthusiastic about it. Eventually, he gave in after I gave him the first disc of Season One, it contains four episodes. He watched it and was hooked.
People nowadays want to be on top of the next hot thing before anyone else but hate admitting that they missed something really cool and almost become anti-*insert new hot thing*. There's no shame in missing something cool it is a shame if you chose not to catch up.
If you like Pulp Fiction, Memento or Heroes you'll like Lost. If you like suspense movies you'll like Lost. If you like twists and cliffhangers you'll like Lost. If you haven't given it a chance you should take time out to see it. Don't be that, "OMG, everybody's watching it so I refuse to" guy. Give Lost a chance it's actually very clever.

Keep your minds open and definitely don't let pride get in your way of enjoying a really good show.

Giving someone Lost on DVD = giving someone crack cocaine.

Except without all the drug money.

Lost is the best show in Tv the season premiere was just awesome. I mean i was out of the lost swing for like 8 months and right after i watched the episode bam lost fever. Its amazing how they do that.

Wait for the show to be over before starting. It'll just confuse and anger you to watch it weekly and deal with huge breaks, no answers, more questions, and short seasons.

very glad to hear episodes from season 4 will be showing up too cause for some reason, DISH doesnt offer ABC as a HD channel so i will be able to watch the episodes in HD. anyone else not get ABC in HD?

160 points is roughly $1.75 an episode. Thats seems pretty expensive considering you cant even keep the file...

The show isn't confusing you simple minded fiends.

Ok, so maybe i have been living under a rock for a little while but what exactly is going on in this show called LOST. All i know is that their are a bunch of people on an island that somehow survived a plane crash (I think thats how they got there). Is that right? Is there something preventing them from building a boat or something to escape? Where exactly is this island?

Ok, lets get a few things straight for people who don't watch the show. A plane crashes on an island. We know that much. After the remaining passengers come together, they realize this is no ordinary island. Pretty much after every episode there is a new unanswered question or problem. Everything on the island comes back to a set of numbers, but you'll have to watch the show for that. And although the events on the show are somewhat cheesy, they become believable after the audience realizes the island has a personality of its own... If you haven't watched the show then for your sake, please do. Its the only hour of TV I watch per week ;)

Not to rain on the parade, but aren't all of these shows on ABC.com for free and in HD?
