RateItAll: The Opinion Network

i saw the previews and thought it would be another one of those dumb shows that i would be forced to hear dumb people talk about and see on the cover of every dumb magazine. but my dad actually sat me down to watch an episode and i was hooked. i've seen few tv dramas to rival this show. sure it keeps you guessing, but ya know, sometimes it's nice to not be spoon-fed all the answers and to actually put the good ole' brain to work.

UPDATE (2/11/07): Sooner or later we have to start getting answers, right? or are they going to keep answering our questions with more questions? Ever episode introduces a new twist or a new set of circumstances that you had no idea was coming. The writing for this show simply amazes me. How do they come up with this stuff? and it all hooks together. There's never really been a show that I simply could not wait for the next one, but these guys did it. Superb writing, superb acting, so far it's a masterpiece...lest they never give me any answers. haha

Good stuff, good stuff.

Where is the island? What's up with Walt?Who is Jacob? Are the numbers cursed? How does Sawyer keep his hair perfectly highlighted? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

It keeps you edge and not afraid to kill of main characters but in a way that makes sense. Great water fountain talk.

Too many characters, too many drawn out and obscure plots, moves along at a snail's pace. It might have been OK if the producers had condensed 24 episodes in each series down to 12 and got things moving a bit. All in all pretty dull fare.

When does the cannibalism start?

I don't know what the big deal about this show is. I just couldn't get "in" to it. Based on all those positive reviews I've been hearing, I decided to buy Season 1 on DVD. I kept watching, episode after episode, wondering when the good part will finally kick in. After watching the first 8 episodes, I don't think the good part will ever kick in. It seems like the same boring thing over and over again. These people are stuck on an island and are trying to survive. That's about it. For some reason, I do not feel any emotional attachment to the characters. They don't seem to have real personalities. It almost seems these actors are just going through the motions. I think I'll stick with Prison Break instead.

I'm not giving "Lost" a five star yet as I'm only four episodes from watching the complete first season on DVD and haven't started on the second season as yet. I will say that from what I've seen so far from the first season this is a really good show. It's original, the characters are not perfect but all flawed in their own unique ways, the location - although disturbing to see the plane wreckage and dead bodies excusing this - is heaven and every week the series unravels something new for the audiences to think about.

I hate to give this show a 2 stars as I used to just LOVE it but got SICK AND TIRED of all the re-runs, then the 'lets catch up' episodes, and then get 2 new episodes and then back to re-runs...sorry, if you want me to watch, then give me NEW shows, quit this crap about stopping the new shows in November and promise to start up again in Feb--I just might find something else on at that time to watch instead!! I mean, CSI was always in re-runs too, and I found another show to watch instead, that happens, and that is why shows fail in their later seasons!!

ABC's Lost is one of television's greatest series of all time. I shouldn't say this yet, since it hasn't ended, but I was captivated by the music, editing, acting, original story, and amazing scenery this show has to offer. The cinematography is highly professional and stunning. One thing I truly love about a film or TV show is if I can't predict it. Lost is one of those truly original series' that is seemingly unpredictable amid all the crap that is infesting Hollywood these days. It's nice to finally watch something new for a change.

To me, the best thing about this show is that they always coming up with new mysteries and secrets to keep you watching and it's working on me.

only ever goes from anticlimax to anticlimax however it is easy to get into and a great idea for a series

Season 2 turned what could have been the most amazing show ever into a joke.

Very sad.

I toally LOVE Lost! It's the only show I consistantly watch, and I never miss an episode!

Overrated.

One of my current favorite TV series, only problem (aside from scheduling) is if you miss one episode, you feel out of the loop.

Cool. I will turn LOST on . GREAT show, lets see now. WHAT? something else is on. hmmm. Must have taken it off the air already. What? It is not on these week because of kids ball games are on or something. Hmm ok, different week, maybe it is back on. WHAT>? it is on a different night? Thrusday? Saturday? ......................................................................................................................................................... Oh hey, there is LOST on again, on Mondays ... COOL! Maybe I can catch up with the plot again. WHAT? A RERUN? A new show and reruns already? This is one of the very few interesting shows on TV, unfortunately, it is on so inconsistantly that it is nearly impossible to follow the plot. It is only idle entertainment, and not worth researching to find out if it is on this week and when, and to take time out of other things to watch it only to find out it is a rerun. The fact this show is only on sporadically makes the best show on TV the worst, because a show being good is pointless if you got to jump through hoops to watch it.
