Today I'm gonna talk about LOST.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, please leave a comment with much love for me anyway :P

I remember those days where the first season of LOST started to broadcast on my country. It was catchy, misterious and it even had a touch of "Survivor", an ancient reality show that was big hit on TV. After several weeks and many episodes, I started to fall in love with the way the Writters/Producers handled the series. Enigmatic "random" events weren't that random, and each of those moments had a big influence on other things that kept happening on the Island (and "outside"). :confused:

As the 1st season advanced, the action scenes were starting to get more and more evident, which was a signal of something bigger coming ahead. But then, it didn't happen anything bigger, but GIGANTIC. Once again, the writters/producers slapped me in the face with mindblowing scripts that fucked up all my theories about "what the hell is goin on" or the famous question "Guys... where are we?" :fear:

The 2nd and 3rd season revealed so much info about the place and all of their characters that I thought the end was near, since the Series didn't have any path to keep goin'.

I was wrong. :cries:

The 4th season came back loaded with more confusing stuff. It even made millions of people in the world to dump the series and start watching other stuff lol (because of the OH-SHIT-CONFUSING stories). :lol: The 4th season was my favourite, because of the way the series were being told.

The bad bad bad bad writters decided to stop working for some legal and financial stuff, so many series (LOST included), only had a few episodes last year. Aside from that, the cropped story told on the 4th season was even more confusing, while it kept closing other misteries on the Island that weren't that important at that stage.

And now... :evillaugh:

LOST season 5 started. After 5 years, the producers still know how to trick our minds, how to make us drop our jaws and how to keep a perfect balance between "confusion" and "wtf-ism", which is important. It really is. Ask my mum.

Well :P Why the hell did I write this? Because I want to know how people think about LOST.

:boogie::boogie::boogie::boogie::boogie:

If you're a fan, drop me a line with your thougts :D It's damn impressive to see how many people is so involved with this show. Heck. Even I am.

If you're not a fan, hump me.

If you didn't read this journal and you're now reading this lonely line, then... um... hump me anyway.

Yea love the series too. I think a nobel prize for script-writting should be invented just to give these guys one :) As I'm also interested in philosophy, literature, quantum-physics and all that stuff this series is the 'have-too' of the week.
I think that many people left because the got too confused and did get it anymore, people, and I'm so sad about that, want too be entertained and don't think, but if one watches Lost they have to think.
'The Constant' will air here in Germany in six days - hope it's going too blast me away as it did with you guys.

@All fans and thinkers: Lostpedia - unbelievable what work this has have been to write.
@Manicho: No humping!

Jeje por fin alguien que entiende que Lost es algo más que una serie del montón. No soporto cuando la gente la compara con Heroes o House...

Para mi es sin duda la mejor serie de televisión de todos los tiempos y entre otras razones se podría citar el hecho de que en cada temporada se ha hecho uso de un género narrativo en si mismo.

Empezó siendo una serie de aventuras a lo Robinson Crusoe con algunas pinceladas de misterio. En la Segunda temporada paso a ser una serie de suspense pura y dura (la escotilla y el factor Dharnma fueron claves). Para la tercera se escogío un perfil dramático con el cautiverio de algunos Losties y sus historietas de amolll varias. La cuarta es thriller puro, con cosas pasando a cada momento y giros argumentales que acaban situando al mismisimo Ben (el malo más malo de los malos) alineado con los buenos más buenos.

Y...esta quinta temporada es para mi una declaración de principios al respecto de lo que siempre ha sido Lost en su sustrato: una serie de Sci-Fi. Si bien muchas de las teorías que aparecen en la serie tienen un fondo científico real, se consideran hoy por hoy meras especulaciones aunque el hecho es, que incluso ahí, los guionistas han sabido darle un toque de verosimilitud que la hace más plausible y por lo tanto más conectada con la "realidad" en la que veniamos viviendo desde la 1ª temporada.

Tampoco sería justo decir que todos y cada uno de los capitulos han sido geniales por igual. Sería imposible mantener el nivel de capitulos como The Constant o Throught the Looking Glass toda la serie, incluso a mi hubo ciertos momentos de la 2ª temporada que me aburrieron bastante, pero sin duda a nivel global es mi serie favorita de largo.

Perdón por el rollazo, pero es que a mi Lost me pone.

Salutens!.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, ya veo que no soy la única que piensa que Lost no es la tí;pica serie norteamericana y aunque me encante Héroes, no podría superar la narrativa que logran los creadores de “Lost”

Ey q tal :)

Desde luego, Lost no es la tí pica serie norteamericana, ni de hecho la tipica serie a secas. Yo no me lo pasaba tan bien con una serie desde expediente x y de eso hace ya + de 10 años y la verdad que con perspectiva, expediente x deja mucho que desear en cuanto a consistencia narrativa.

Estoy de acuerdo con lo de Heroes. A mi no me desagrada, de hecho he visto algo de la 3ª temporada "Villans" y no esta mal, hay algunos giros argumentales bastante notables, pero bajo mi punto de vista no se puede comparar con una serie como Lost que además de contener ese aspecto Sci-Fi que me gusta es mucho, mucho más. Supongo que es el motivo de que no me haya bajado más capis, yo con Lost lo tengo todo cubierto jaja.

Venga un salu2!

I watched much of the first season, but I thought it started to get a bit ridiculous towards the end. I haven't really seen much of it since season 1.

I've watched every episode since the start. But last season seriously made me reconsider whether I'm going to keep it up (season 5 starts in a short while in my country). The plot just got too ridiculous and, dare I say, stupid. But since I now know that it will come to an end in season 6, I might just decide to stick it out 'till the end.

When i first heard of LOST i thought "ok just another boring show", but after starting to watch it i became more and more obsessed :love:

And like you mentioned... every time you get some ideas/theories of what is going on, they will completely mess up everything and nothing seems to be true anymore :cries:
I hate that, but i love it - that way it will never become boring :giggle:
I always watch LOST with my mother, but here in Germany we just started with season 4, so still takes a while until i get to see the 5th one(unless i start to watch the english versions, but my mother wouldn't understand anything then) :shakefist:
