LOST - the most complicated storyline ever?

[CYBERYOGI =CO= Windler]

Does anybody watch here the SF series LOST?

Although I like it, it is IMO almost impossible to understand what's going on. I know there is the Lostpedia to track the fouled storylines, but I think it was made incomprehensible by design. IMO the entire TV-series was only commercially designed to make people (somewhat) addicted to watch more and more TV commercials in between. And I bet a million of rotten water melons that the series will be cancelled or finished before/ without that all those so-called secrets will be ever revealed. The entire obfuscating concept resembles the "bonus ladder" jackpot mechanism on German electronic entertainment gambling machines (e.g. Rotamint), those give you the illusion of possibility to win more by inserting even more coins. These gambling machines also throw around with plenty of meaningless displayed numbers and icons those genuinely do not affect at all the chance of winning money. I think the entire tapeworm-like tangled story is just a bad hoax to make people watch more TV ads.

Not to understand me wrong - I still enjoy to watch it. But I think the story should have reached its end at least at 1/4 after the countdown counter on the computer of the 1st season reached zero and made the 1st base explode. Instead it continued on and on and now in season 4 they even make flashforwards instead of only flashbacks including various space-time mess that apparently breaks the linearity of time in the story to explain or justify all the tangled twists in it. (Apropos computers - I studied software engineering (including electronics) and doubt also that a 1970th computer like the one in that cave could work non-stop without any maintainance until now. I know well how much maintianance already the tape drive in my VCR needs - I cleaned and adjusted it dozens of times to keep it working.)

Do you think that the story of Lost will make sense at all? Or is it just like one of those trip movies (e.g. Naked Lunch) those do a lot of bizarre surreal psychedelic things and then suddenly end in between like a bad nightmare? What is your expectation?

I don't think so, according to me LOST is most interesting and mysteries story stuff for me. I ever enjoyed its very episode and was getting very excited for its next episode.

I also say that Lost was good adventurous sci-fiction drama..

There are so many rumors about Season 6 of Lost ABC. But after the final review from the creators of show they didn't even plan for the next season. I agree that story of Lost looks so confusing specially after season 3.

I agree with kavin opinions. Lost is fantastic storyline...

[careygold]

Yeah first three seasons were good but after that like its name show is lost for the fans.

At the end of LOST they explained that everything was just a kind of hell world in afterlife. What a boring explanation for a so twisted and tangled story mess that likely even the author could not find a reasonable solution for all this any more. I do like the movie Donnie Darko (which story was a bit similar), however LOST was just like when a clockmaker decided to break a record in building the most complicated wrist watch ever - no matter whether it makes any sense or not.

Lost is a fantastic series to watch. Each and every episode brings some more entertainment and i am really forced to watch it. I don't think it is complicated at all.
