Hello! Where you been hiding?Originally posted by Pondlife View PostHmmmm, Do, or do not. There is no try with Breaking Bad.
I heard that. I better get cracking and watch it, eh. I might get through watching a few episodes before Xmas 2014.

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.

I think I have commitment issues from early on in a series.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostMost of it occurs after episode 2 so I'll forgive you for that
The monster is in the first episode though and is a fairly major event!

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.

- 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!

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

First time round I did enjoy it, because it seemed to be GOING somewhere. Then we got to the end and found not only had the show not got anywhere to go, it finished a series earlier and nobody noticed.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostI'm one of those wierdos who enjoyed it right till the bitter end!
