Many years later ...


I've finally been watching it, and recently have finished, even though I fell asleep during several of the S6 episodes and need to watch them again.

Not the best of shows to binge-watch, even though the first two seasons hooked me and I very much enjoyed them.

In binge-watching, a number of things came to annoy me, which would make a good Lost drinking game:

1. The number of times the various characters said "RUN!"
2. The number of times various characters said "I promise [insert whatever]."
3. The number of characters who died yet weren't dead, or somehow became someone else.
4. The number of times characters said "If [fill in character or action] does/doesn't do X, everyone will DIE!"

I also got really tired of the character Sawyer/Jim/James having one expression: angry scowl.

No doubt these flaws weren't nearly as obvious and annoying when waiting a week between each episode, but they stand out when binging the series.

Why are you telling me this??? ;)

LOL Lost is my favorite show ever, but I have to agree with most of this. Some of it can get repetitive if you binge too many episodes close together. Hurley's constant dudes sometimes irritated the hell out of me, and yes, every time they asked why something had to be done someone would say that everyone on the island will die if they didn't, they began to overuse it so much that you stopped taking that threat seriously by the second season. But you notice that with every show when you start watching that many episodes over a short period of time.

Whoops, sorry :D

Hurley's "Dudes" didn't get on my nerves because I've met people who talk just like that, and it seemed in character for him. Plus, I grew to like him, although my favorite overall was John, both for the acting and character development.

5) Number of times someone says, "What?"

Did we really say it that often in the 90s?

Or someone lies for no reason and causes a ton of drama. Oh wait, that's every TV show. :)

I remember Lost as being one of the first American shows which highlighted to me the casual use of 'hey' as a greeting.
