Some of the acting is good...but a lot is cringeworthy. and on C4 it also means over the course of this season you've seen the fucking 118 blokes almosty 2,500 times 
The raft is the most interesting bit right now, esp with the characters on it - the Jin-Sun back story is probably the strongest, as is the relationship between Michael and Walt, plus Sawyer's there for comdey purposes.
Ther others are too annoying - Jack and his hurt expression, Kate's constantly furrowed brow. Thank god Charlie and Locke are with them.

893 all the way.
I've seriously lost patience with it now. The series seemed to follow a pattern of several duff epidoes with loads of filler and then just as you were about to give up there would be a superb episode (Sawyers nemesis, Walts powers, Hurley and the numbers) that kept me hooked.
but...the minute I saw the radar scope on the raft I burst out laughing - utterly ridiculous and stretching the goodwill of the audience to the limit that one. And as for the hatch, a few weeks ago this was described by Locke as impenetrable and not only that, there seemed to be no door or obvious way of getting in...Now hey presto a few sticks of ancient dynamite have opened it up like a tin of sardines.
As for the season two teaser...wow, a wallclock counting down, a scuffed up keyboard wih the word 'execute' and suddenly the Korean bloke can speak perfect English - seems like the perfect basis for wasting another half year of wednesday evenings!...or maybe not, I'm starting to get really pissed off with the idea that they can stretch an admittedly good idea to 7 bleeding series.

Ooooooooooooooo....
So Dannelle got the wrong boy. But why did the others not abduct Walt while he was on the Island? They had plenty of oppertunity.
And why did "they" abduct Claires baby in the earlier episode? and what was that whole psyhic back in Oz storyline about? He knew there was something special about Claires baby and that's why he tricked her into getting on that plane.
Also, I knew to this Torrent thing and am trying to download Episodes 1 of season 2. Is it normal only to get a download speed of 2kb? It's telling me it's going to take 3 days to download!
How do you lot manage to download entire seasons, it must take weeks?

It's watchable tosh, but tosh nonetheless. I've tried to get into it, but don't care enough about the slightly cliched individuals to spend too much time worrying about their backstories and carefully watching out for clues/red herrings. It's well filmed and I enjoy watching it, but I do find it hard not to be distracted - last night and I was flicking over to the darts to occasionally get away from the manipulative cheesiness of it all.
And the ending was just hackneyed. People staring down a big hole in the ground, with a big ladder leading down. Jeepers, we've been waiting for that...
Whatever next? Along those lines they'll find a big golden key at the end of series 2. And a whopping great door to open too. It's not half as clever as it's made out to be, but it's reasonable fun watching them drag out the familiar yarn...

Agree with all of this; I stayed up to watch the season finale last night and was, as usual, completely let down, only this time I was forcibly struck by how mediocre much of Lost is. I was initially drawn to the fact that they were actually bothering to expand on and detail the characters by means of the backstories, but actually none of the characters is particularly well fleshed-out while actually on the island - Sayid is patient and understanding, Shannon cries and strops, Kate is like the fucking queen of emo with her bullshit no one-understands-me angst, Jack is as you say little more than a furrowed brow as he bears the weight of leadership (heroically of course)...the only characters who have involved my emotions at all are Jin and Sun, and to some extent Walt and Michael (I thought the episode explaining their relationship was very sad and well-observed).
Have also become increasingly exasperated by the dialogue, which is wooden, stolid and average to the max. One of the reasons I love Buffy so much is the excellent and inventive dialogue - even the most lacklustre episode had more zip and sparkle than Lost, which contains far too much 'We're going to get through this', 'Jack, I need to do this', and all that other shit.

!!!!!!!!!
i have watched all of lost (actually, may have missed 1 or 2 epsiodes...) but i agree that they drag it out far too long. what they covered in the first series could have been done in half that time and the show could have progressed a lot quicker, and we wouldnt have to wait months to find out whats down that frigging hole.

Oh come on. Lost has been one of the most orginal and inventive TV series for years.
Why is it fashionable on U75 to knock things just because they are popular?

I think you'll find that I'm expressing my opinion because that's what I think, not because it's fashionable. IMO nothing about it has been especially inventive or original. You are of course free to hold your own opinions on the subject.

or: why is it on Urban75 that whenever somebody disses something, people immediately play the 'you only dislike it because it's popular' card.
rubbish, seriously.
I love Six Feet Under and the Sopranos, don't like Lost. which of those is more popular? couldn't tell you.

Well when they were floating on the raft one them commented how an island that size has never been discovered, and the camera shot back to the island when they were floating away showed how big the place was.
I say it was quite easy not to find that ship in the middle of all that jungle.

i started off liking it, and wanted to like it, but it weren't half dragged out, and i did lose hope around the middle
decent enough ending for the first series i suppose, but i've grown so apathetic to the characters plight that i can't say im too bothered about what's down the hole.

May Kasahara said:
Entirely in agreement. Lost isn't terrible, in fact it's pretty good viewing, but it hard to see why anyone considers it anywhere near groundbreaking.
Precisely - hell, even roughly - what's particularly inventive or original about it? There's plenty of familiar characters (stoic doctors, recovering rock stars, hardened miltary man etc) flashbacks and near-arbitrary backstories, but there's very little concrete, let alone anything really innovative. A smattering of mystery doesn't escape it from feeling a bit like Gilligan's Island for the X-files generation.
The seres ending summed it up for me. We've waited all that time for a hole in the ground and a beardy bloke on a ship? Not so much original as straight from the 'Ladybird Book of Suspense Cliches'
Watchable though

I still enjoy most of it. some of it is cack, but there you go...
When the teacher exploded, I jumped and found myself thinking 'How the fuck didn't I see that one coming?'. It was so obviously going to happen, but it was done so well I really didn't see it coming.

Didn't think it was a total anti-climax but only in the sense that the writers now know they've got a hit on their hands, they haven't got to wrap eveything up before the network pulls the plug! i.e. yep, I can see it getting spun out a bit. However, it does seem to make a difference if you watch quite a few episodes in one go, rather than weekly, and if you're able to get your hands on d/l episodes from the web, all the better. Whilst it's not so intense after it's first few episodes exploded out of the box when I first saw it last year, it's still worth a weekly visit IMO in season 2.

The flashbacks are a very important part of the plot, cause apparently they are all linked in some way and the flashbacks are clues towards that linkage.CyberRose said:

The flashbacks are the best bit!
Oh, and the boat people are so "The Others" or part of the others. I mean, The Others weren't at the fire were the smoke was coming from, and no one turned up at the caves, did they. They knew that creepy Walt was on the raft, and that was who they were after, innit!
