I just started the last disc of Season One.  I dont usually get too into TV shows, but I picked up the Season One DVD a few weeks back, and was hooked after the first episode.  I love it.

only because my GF survives on it.  so i watch with her.....first season was great i thought, this season is boring me a bit.  but then again, we watched the first season in 2 weeks on DVD.
 
 anyway, season finale is coming soon. I was hoping Hurley was gonna launch himself into the ocean.

i love this show, and i normally hate television.
 
 although i do wish that 2 episodes ago, hurley HAD leaped into the ocean, and then a black screen had come up saying "THE END."   it was all just a dream.  
 
 america would riots.

The thought of it all being in Hurley's head crossed my mind as well..that would be a funny ending...Or have one of the castaways just wake up at the end of an episode and instead of The End, flash OWNED across the screen.  
 
 Have any theories about what the island is?  There have been a lot of magnet references...I believe that somehow they use magnets to create the things people see on the island, Jack's Dad, the horse, Dave, the black smoke, etc, and the Losties are all some part of an elaborate human behavior study...

i'm another one who came in late, so i was able to watch the entire first season in just a few days, which always makes things better, especially with a show like this. but i still feel like it's got a bit of "twin peaks" syndrome with the second season just not coming anywhere close to the first, although in this case it's because they don't know how to resolve anything as opposed to the fact they they did resolve the main thing. but i still wouldn't miss it. the henry gale stuff has been pretty interesting, but i don't understand how they established eko as the biggest badass on television besides jack bauer and just ditched him after that.

They've so inconsistently aired new episodes that I've missed 2 - 3 episodes since November or so.  Once you miss an episode or two, it's much easier to lose interest.  I should probably just wait and watch Season Two on DVD...

I've had this feeling about season 2 as well....its kind of a catch 22 situation - you have a brilliant first season which draws in viewers and make you a hit which means the suits at the network want to milk things for 4/5 seasons which means you have to slow the pace waaaaay down or introduce less interesting side plots

yeah, and that's another catch-22. one the main reasons the show works is that it's got this great big cast of characters, but then when you want them to focus in on someone, it never happens for more than one episode.

24, at least for a two-episode arc that seemingly went nowhere.

Too similar to St.Elsewhere's ending.
