***Official*** LOST: The End. - Page 104 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yeah even rehashing this ending makes me sad. After s5 definitely had close to GOAT potential. After s6 not even in my top 10 shows OAT. Still second best network show ever behind The West Wing unless I'm missing something obvious.

I liked S6 more than 5 now that I think about it.

S5 they traveled back in time and worked for the Dharma Initiative...that's a little silly lol.

That's what I meant above, and in s3 before Killa banned me from the forum. They went too far into SciFi territory and alienated casualfan.jpg.

Also I felt we never really got to know the dharma staff or what they were all about. We got mostly stock stare downs with the main cast.

I think The Walking Dead is the most Lostesque show on tv now. They have a comic book to follow so they probaby won't sail off the map.

At least the dharma stuff was interesting, and tied to central plot themes from ep 1. Season 6 could have been written by people who never saw last 5 pages of each script from the previous 5 seasons.

There were some good but also some bad. I think if they did it properly they could cast a reboot well enough.

Perhaps I would hate the end less if I watched it all again, but I don't think I could bare to do that knowing that I might still hate it and have wasted many more hours on the show.

Also Lost is the reason I have lost interest in Revenge and Once Upon a Time.

The whole furthering the plot but not actually going anywhere has really lost its appeal to me.

Lost, even with all of its faults, is magnitudes better than The Walking Dead which is virtually unwatchable. Even if TWD was good I would hardly call it Lostesque.

The Walking Dead is staring at the pages of its comic book in the rear view mirror. They sailed off that map in season 2.

Lost fell off a cliff in season 2 but it did rally for a time towards the end of season 3 and throughout season 4 (Ben goating it up). I don't think The Walking Dead rates to rally. Although i do expect the final run ins to be pretty comparable in terms of quality.

The Walking Dead is staring at the pages of its comic book in the rear view mirror. They sailed off that map in season 2.

I was talking about things like the story (isolated from civilisation) structure (venture out into the wild, fight, learn something, return to camp for a musical montage) and the characters (crazy leader, noble boobs female, badass hunter, perpetual outsider). The TWD thread is full of jokes about how similar the shows are.

I didn't mean anything about the quality or how much you like them. IMO TWD is Lost Junior Varsity, a popcorn show to capitalize on the survivor genre now that the original is gone. I'd actually prefer that TWD stop trying to be profound and stick to hero vs monsters cartoon violence.

Lost started again on G4. S1 remains the GOATelevision.

Like 4th time. Never seen anything where the flash-backstory informs the frontstory.

You start putting plans under a microscope, nothing's gonna make sense, alright?

I'm curious why someone would watch this 4 times. Were there no General Hospital marathons going on?

I love/hate LOST, it's the only show I've followed were you could have GOAT episodes followed by WOAT episodes and vice versa. Definite future re-watch-
