Milking it.... (Lost)

[Daz]

On the subject of Lost, I just saw episode 19 of series 3, which was a very satisfying watch.

I was the same, started watching it with downloaded episodes as it was getting towards the end so I was able to watch most of it back to back. When it came to being forced to see it weekly, I just lost interest.

They're doing their own version of Life on Mars, but I saw that the first series is 22 episodes. Bear in mind that our whole run was a mere 16 over two series, I wonder what they're going to stuff in there and how bloated it's going to be. I bet it just turns out as another cop show just like Alien Nation did.

To be fair, they did the same with the Office, and its in season 3 already (way over 50 episodes now). It started quite awkwardly but from all I've read so far its taken its own direction and is quite good.

Ooooooh i didn't know that I love that show, Fez loves Candy !

Meh. King of queens is the only thing to watch!

Back to Lost for a moment - there's a bit of a shock ending to the latest episode. 24's was also good, there was excitement!

Lost was great today, 24 just seems to be tacking on 3-episode sections to try and get to 24 episodes. Doesn't seem as good as it used to be any more. I'll be shocked if there isn't a surprise twist following what happened at the end of Lost - that can't be it for that particular character.

See this is the first series I've seen, so it's all still new to me. I know what you mean though, the main story finished around episode 18/19, this is quite obviously filler. I'm enjoying it though.

Oh totally. It goes back to what I said before, if they want to they can explain (or not) anything away in two words - 'the island'. I doubt it's the last we'll see of that person.

You're in for a treat when you watch series 2 then! The first 12 episodes of that are superb, and one of them is probably my joint favourite episode of all time.

Gonna watch 1 first though, there are references to past events in this one that Dee's had to explain to me. Figure if I'm gonna watch them I may as well do it in order!
