"Lost is one of my all-time favorite shows. Every night it aired from 2004 to 2010 was appointment viewing. But during that time, the way people looked at the hit ABC series didn't necessarily fit what the show was trying to do. Lost was two shows—a show about broken people growing and changing in extraordinary circumstances, and a show about mysteries that dated back decades and ultimately centuries. Caught between being a show about people and a show about mysteries, Lost could never really satisfy everyone, which especially became true in its final season as it introduced "flash-sideways" and attempted an endgame where an alternate reality could be affected by the choices made on the island. The final season had to "answer" questions and try to tie up every loose end while still servicing an ensemble cast of characters. Under these circumstances, perhaps it was inevitable that the series finale, which aired 10 years ago today, would be divisive…" Main page link Amicalement Armand

The show's creators as much as admitted that they made up a lot of the show on the fly, so no wonder tying up loose ends became challenging… ;-) |

Lost was a huge disappointment, as its early success was more due to accident than planning. |

I watched it for a bit, early on, but at some point it really "jumped the shark" and got ever more absurd, AND that was before a lot of the really crazy stuff started getting thrown into the plot writing. |

Started stupidly for me. Don't care how it ended. I gave up on it after the plane crashed. With the engine still running, upside down, and the rest of the plane not exactly being in good condition. |
