I just got Season 2 as a present. I watched most of it on Tivo until they stopped airing it in favor of DVD sales.

Love the show, just hoping I can find the time to see them all before Season 3 starts.

I'm hopelessly addicted to Lost. I even have the season premiere marked on my calendar and have informed all the committees, organizations and teams that I am part of that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES am I to be interupted during these very crucial hours.

I love the writing, I love the idea, and most of all, I love the eye candy. It's time to upload my Hunky Guys of Flight 815 wallpaper again.

By the way, does anyone remember a short lived series called Earth 2? It's available on DVD now, and has Clancy Brown and Tim Curry in it -- the premise is actually very similar to Lost, only they've crashed on another planet instead of an island.

I'm a Lost fan also. It's one of the few network shows I watch. You should read Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. It's a huge influence for Lost.

I love, love, love LOST.

I LOVED Lost in the first season, but they just about lost me in the second. Too many questions, not enough answers. Too many pointless events. Hurley, my favorite character, found love and then lost it before it even got going. Locke was wonderful in season 1, weak in season 2.
Too much Ana Lucia, not enough Sayid.

There can *never* be enough Sayid.

I love LOST. I love the men of LOST. I don't try to understand most of it; I just enjoy the ride.

I agree about Locke, though - first season, he was the soul of the island. In season 2, he felt adrift. And they need to give Sayid more to do.

I love Lost too. I hear they're going to make season 3 more action and less island mythology -- more like Indiana Jones. I personally can't wait.

I watched most of the 1st season, but gave up on it not far into the 2nd. I really get the feeling that writers are making it up as they go along, never answering any questions, bending the characters to match the will of their scenarios.

When they added a whole 'nother set of characters (those in the tail) before ever dealing with any of the issues with the 1st set, I just said "huh?" and quit watching.

But then I've got limited time for TV these days and there's very few shows that I put into my regular rotation.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the writing on Lost. Nobody I know in r/l agrees with me, but I LOVE it! Lost is one of the few shows I'd watch even without the eye-candy (what a nice assortment of flavors, though!) -- it's the only show I watch that doesn't have "Law & Order" in the title somewhere.

Yes, I'm jonzin' big-time!

Get LOST

Love the show. Actually was semi-regular on The Fuselage for a while, then the season ended, it seemed all that was left were the arguments over whether Locke was right to punch Charlie after the baby-napping incident. If you get a chance, check it out – it's J.J. Abrams site... which, for me, ranks it as more official than the official site (maybe it'll perk up after season starts).

Loved that one, too. Actually got a chance to tool around up by the area they shot in (NM). Beautiful area... and not that far from a place that sold a mean green chile cheese burger.

I don't understand the number sequence. But then I got bored with Lost about 6 episodes into the first season.

Helplessly addicted. Halfway through Season Two now. Waiting to finish and get Season Three

You lost me.

Hey, is Spongebob on?

*wanders off to his parents house for food, dogs, and cartoons.*

I'm half-sure I saw those numbers before in a mathematical puzzle even though I've never seen Lost.

The numbers were explained (to a certain extent) in the Lost Experience game that has been going on since the close of season two. If you're a fan of Lost and haven't been following the game then check out this link:

The video is important to the story and may be necessary to fully understand the third season. Also check out this site for lots of details about the island, characters, and mythology of Lost:

I adored the show during its first season, but admit I lost interest in season two. I missed a few eps, and only half-watched a few others. There just weren't enough things happening, and some eps seemed a little heavy on the back story.

I did enjoy the addition of the Tailies, though. Ana Lucia was a breath of a fresh air, and I've been a huge fan of Mr. Eko (I cannot spell his real name) ever since Oz.

I hope this season amps things up a bit more. A show needs to make me turn around from my computer and WATCH it, not just listen to it over my shoulder. Lost didn't do that last year.

Lost is a great show but season 2 did get into the backstory a bit much. I know we need to understand how each person came to be there but spread it out some more.

What keeps me watching is the questions they leave un-answered. Wat is up with the fake hatch on the "Others" side of the island? Why do they want Walt? What the heck is the machine and why was it built? What is up with the observation hatch? Why doesn't the tube that they send in their reports to go anywhere? Who the heck are the 'Others" and where did they come from? Who is the French woman? And are the creatures on the island really there or are they the figments of someones imagination brought to life? We all know Walt can do it.

What I am going to hate is that this season will be real short so they better answer some of the questions.

I think they are all dead and the island is some sort of purgatory. How you behave on the island determines where you will go when you die there.

Never watched LOST, changed the channel about half an hour into the first episode of Earth 2 when it originally aired and never went back.

Give me the new Battlestar Galactica any day.

Tangent Inspired by Season 2 on DVD

Something about Rose's faith healer/healing locii got me thinking I had heard this kind of thing before.

It was a few years ago in a sushi bar in Puerto Rico. Two guys - one a doctor, martial artist, and somewhat of a natural healer, the other a physicist. They proceded to talk with a coworker and I about a power nexus that arises from different positions on the globe.

As an engineer with spiritual beliefs, I could understand the doctor more. The physicist just baffled me, speaking of harnessing power that would allow one to walk through a wall, or launch oneself into orbit. It was alternately scary, and hypnotizing, but the next day we went to a hot spring they recommended for absorbing some of this energy.

I always wanted to use it for a story, but I guess someone beat me to it. Without watching the rest of the Season 2, I have a suspiscion about some of what is going on on the island, the magnetic fields, and "healing zones."

I'm familiar with ley lines from mostly fictional sources, and I think those guys actually described them without using the word.

Felt lots of weird things in different places, but felt absolutely nothing at Stonehenge. Might have been the throngs of people, the 4 hours of slow traffic to get there, or the low fences that suggested you kept a reasonable distance.
