Has 'Lost' Lost It?

I'll admit it, I was initially resistant to the charms of "Lost." A plane gets ripped in half mid-air and crashes? Undiagnosed vertigo and living in New York City post-9/11 are enough to make that one of my top-10 fears--no...

Great production values, terrific actors giving memorable performances, an expansive, sprawling story that's psychologically, philisophically, and dramatically interesting. They've given out loads of answers so far -- but it's a marathon not a sprint. Do you open a good mystery book and go straight to the end? Then relax, cool your jets, and enjoy the ride.
And what about the Russian sub from the end of Season 2?! I feel like they've created way too many loose ends. I hope somebody brilliant is figuring out how to tie everything together.
I have had all those wuestions and more. Good article! I'm giving it 3 more shows before i decide whether to continue watching it or not. The fact that the writers themselves admitted not knowing what they were going to come up with next doesnt help
LOST quiz http://www.blog.ashleylangford.com/archives/2006/08/lost_quiz.html
I think you need to switch to green tea and take up yoga or something...you can't be serious with all these questions, I don't ususally comment on these type of articles just because I know your just trying to keep people reading your blog and being an antagonist is your lot in life I'm sure...but just repeat after me...breath in...breath out...relax and let go of your expectations and you might enjoy the show again. Like the old saying goes..."free your mind and your a** will follow. Aloha and Namaste.
The problems with "Lost" in the second and third seasons were mostly network-inflicted, IMO. There was a fascinating interview in Entertainment Weekly between the creators of "Lost" and Stephen King, in which they discussed the conflict between Art and Commerce relative to "Lost."
If the creators of the show insisted on fulfilling story lines and bringing them to "natural conclusions" too early, they would risk being fired by the network, since it is in the interests of the network to keep the show going for as long as possible.
The irony is that the network has eroded the show's popularity by this tactic. At any rate, it is still, in my opinion, the Best Show on Television. For me, it is the first show since BTVS that I just can't miss.
