I watched a couple and quite liked it. It started to annoy me when after about episode 2 everyone accepted they were stuck on the island and started setting up home. It was game over for me when the polar bear made an entrance though.

I always wondered if with such an extended run there would be plenty of continuity bloopers - let us know if you spot any obvious onesOriginally posted by Spacecadet View PostI recently started re-watching Lost and I'm hooked again

Not sure that is quite true:Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI watched a couple and quite liked it. It started to annoy me when after about episode 2 everyone accepted they were stuck on the island and started setting up home. It was game over for me when the polar bear made an entrance though.- Half of the principle characters stay on the beach in order to keep the signal fires going
- Sayid is very determined to get an emergency transmission established
- Michael starts building a raft in order to escape
Having said that, they all have their reasons (as shown in the flashbacks) for not being too over eager to escape.
The Polar bear isn't that weird compared to later stuff. I'm surprised you're bothered by it and not by the monster thing that killed the pilot!Coffee's for closersComment

I was probably doing other stuff when I watched it. I have no idea what most of the above means, particularly the monster bit.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostNot sure that is quite true:- Half of the principle characters stay on the beach in order to keep the signal fires going

Most of it occurs after episode 2 so I'll forgive you for thatOriginally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI was probably doing other stuff when I watched it. I have no idea what most of the above means, particularly the monster bit.

The monster is in the first episode though and is a fairly major event! The polar bear does not seem that weird in comparison.
Still if you are stuck for something to watch then give it another go but try and get to episode 10 at leastLast edited by Spacecadet; 24 September 2013, 18:44.Coffee's for closersComment

I stopped watching when they had to keep entering the same numbers every hour.
It reminded me too much of the hourly/daily/weekly 'progress'' reports I had to complete.
