Your allowed to be a fan of it, but that doesn't really give you the right to more or less call people who don't like the show idiots; I don't do that for the fans after all. you do it for me as much as I do it for you, sorry
for the record you insulted the show first, I just defended it
Um what? I didn't insult you at all. And if by insult you mean:
Hoorah for a show that should have ended years ago.
I know you do... that's my point; I saw the Beast and lost all interest in the show afterward.
I tried to watch the second one and got bored, and haven't had any desire to watch it since. As for ratings..... meh, crap shows like Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and other things draw in big ratings for some reason, but that could be put down to people are sheep lol. in response i would say lost requires a bit (a lot) more brainpower to enjoy than dancing with the starts or idol (i would say the same about l&o)
its apples to oranges anyway
critically acclaimed dramas =/= pop reality TV
/shrug, like I said, ratings don't mean much; lots of crap get's the high ratings while the good stuff is pushed aside. Again though, I don't like Lost, and haven't since it started; it really should have ended a few season ago instead of limping to the ending it's doing right now.
For the Lost-haters: What do you not like about the show? Is it cliche? Predictable? Do you feel it suffers from something that previous shows have suffered from? What could be changed about the show that would make it acceptable to you?As I said, I watched the first season, but only because of the Beast, as I wanted to see it.... but beyond that, it just didn't draw me in; none of the cast is very memorable to me, the stories were standard sci-fi/drama fare. It also didn't help that when Lost was on, there were other shows I wanted to watch more really, and as it changed nights fairly regularly originally, that would mean it was up against a CSI, a Law and Order, Eureka and other shows that were... just better to me.
I don't look down on people who watch Lost, that is there right, but when they go on and on about how it's the best show ever, that's what makes me want to tweak them and pull their noses. If my comments have insulted anyone, I'm sorry... but I don't take them back heh.
see, lost never gets oldIn your opinion at least; got old to me after the first season.
So after reading this*Major spoilers(I guess)*
.... I'm so glad I lost interest in this show. That's a ridiculous ending really..... might as well has just done the 'It was all just a dream' and got it over with.
Unless my writing is off or something, I don't see me insulting the show, beyond giving my opinion... unless that's the insult because you disagree with me. Also, you are the one insulting those of us who disliked the show,
hell, at one point, you said that anyone below a certain IQ wouldn't get it anyways
. Again, it's fine to defend your fanism, but when you just insult people for disagreeing with you, you lose a lot of your 'credit'. As I've said all through the thread; I watched the first season, saw the Beast, watched a few episodes of Season 2 and said 'screw it', and went off to watch other things, as I lost interest in the show. And you know, something you said earlier; Lost has 6 seasons, that's it, Law and Order has been on TV for almost 22 years, and spawned several spin-offs; if that's not a cult following, I guess I don't know the definition of it.

I'd suggest you look at my post again GSS, I put in a link exactly where you insulted someone's intelligence about watching Lost. As for the rest /shrug, you put this on an open forum, did you really expect it to all be "Oh yeah! Lost is awesome! So cool! The greatest!", cause if you did, you should have stuck to the blog topics you have posted before. As for your 4 year later comment; note my join date lol, four years ago, I wasn't part of the Wowhead community. So yeah, as I've said; don't like Lost.
waitwut? L&O again? I agreed it was a good show, i just argued that Lost was better
but then just pointed out that you couldn't compare them, as lost was serial television, anyone can watch a random episode of L&O and thoroughly enjoy themselves, you don't need to watch episode after episode to stay up to date
shows following that formula
rarely do wellSorry, I have to laugh; Law and Order and the spin-off's, Criminal Minds, the CSI's, and other shows follow that formula and they rate just as high as Lost in the ratings. But hey whatever; your allowed your opinion, I'm allowed mine, that's what makes this forum a free thinking place. Salute.

ok? how does that change the fact that you are still talking about it after you lost interest in itI'm allowed to voice my opinion on something I didn't like?
no, no, no
not one of those shows follows the formula of lost
Average US drama
cast: small regular/return cast, large number of guest starts
ep: stand alone plot with the occasional 2/3 partner
Serial TV (Lost, Prison Break, Heroes, Damages)
cast: larger regular/return cast, smaller number of guest stars
ep: continuation of the previous episodes story arc
you really couldn't be more off/sigh, Read again I was talking about the Law and Order formula; different crime each week, with some of them connecting at some point down the line. I did not say any of those were like Lost, you just misread in your rush to answer. And really, you want serial TV, better examples would be Stargate Atlantis, Eureka, Jericho and the like(note, in the case of Jericho and Eureka, those took precedent for me over trying to figure out the next time Lost was on(as said earlier, it changed days quite a bit up here on the Canadian channels)).

You know, I was going to respond with some good comments... then I realized something... I don't care. Your right GSS, I don't have to say anything about Lost, because I didn't watch all the seasons... because the 1st and 2nd one bored me to tears. So yeah, sorry my opinion differed from yours, and hey, it's great you obsessed about this show for the last 6 years, serious kudos to you. Here's hoping another standard show starts up so you can obsess about it too.

outmaneuvering your logic in a discussion doesnt make someone a troll
it just means they were able to defend their points better than you were able to defend yours
You aren't defending your points, you are looking like an idiot. You do not need to insult people to get a point across. If you do, it means your argument sucks like crap.
