Today starts the third season, so here's this thread to discuss the show, comment the current episodes, elaborate our own theories, etc...

btw (and to begin the discussion), don't you think this show would have made an excelent adventure game?

I'd like to get into this show, but I feel like I need to see it from the begining, so I never watch it when it's on.

oh well!

I was going to say that it wouldn't make sense if you start watching it half way through..........but it doesn't make much now so there wouldn't be much of a difference!

I really enjoyed the season premiere, especially the first 4-5 minutes. Good stuff.

I hadn't seen the begining too, but recently a friend lend me the whole second season including an hour long summary of the first one, and that preaty made the trick for me. After watching just the summary and the first episode from the second season I was absolutely hooked. In about two weeks I was ready to start downloading the third season (no way now I'm gonna wait for it being aired here).

I think it was Ok (especially the first minutes, I agree), but I was more anxious to know what happened with Locke and Ecko. Well.. I guess I'll have to wait for next week...

I gave up after season one. LOST should've been a mini series. Right now, they're stretching (or milking, rather) an already thin story. The first few episodes are all right, but after that it gets repetitive.

Sorry, but I don't agree there. Okay, it no more is the best series around, but it's mighty good still. It has definitely managed to keep its act together for the two seasons.

Still, I enjoy Prison Break more than I do Lost. As for great TV series, I'd go for OZ, as back in the day it premiered, the new 'quality tv revolution' hadn't started. It was basically the first high quality tv show in a long time. And it was great. Is great.

I thought that for the first few episodes of the second season - they were definitely treading water and/or progressing the story excruciatingly slowly for a long time there - but it picked up later in the season and the story is moving again. If the show runs more than 4-5 seasons I'll be upset, but I think they've successfully carried and widened the story enough to last about that long.

My thoughts exactly. The series is great, and just as it started to transform into an island-drama, as in "oh no i lost my wedding ring" and "i'm sad about something" or "i'm really mad now", something actually started happening, and everyone were happy again.

I was one of the Designers of the Lost ARG, Which we tried to make a little like an adventure game there was some puzzles here and there, code breaking, flash games Etc..
There was even one point when the fans of different countries had to find coded Apollo chocolate bars and when all were entered it unlocked the next stage of the game. ( kind of like a worldwide inventory based puzzle ) : )

As for the show, it's pretty good I think, even after watching it a million times over at work it still has a lot more depth and is far more engaging than most TV shows about.

I would have liked it to be more 'Adventurey' but coming up with and coding those types of puzzles takes far to long on such tight deadlines.

Well enough of that.

A proper lost AG would be great i'd say!

^ That is so awesome you got to work on that.

I do have to admit I wasn't crazy about the ARG, though. I don't like the idea of people who don't participate outside the show missing out on things. But still, it was an interesting, yet maybe too involved, experience.

Yeah I agree with what you are saying, the whole idea was that it was for the Hardcore fans only ( and Lost fans are totally mental BTW ) and you didn't miss out on anything to do with the show as it was a completely different story.
But I totally see where you are coming from, ABC strung it out a bit too long if you ask me.

Hmm, interesting. I might give it another try, then. I stopped watching when there were two more episodes to go before the season one finale. I accidentally missed the episode, and because my interest had become stagnant, I didn't bother to watch the re-run. That's how it usually goes. Somehow I keep watching, until something breaks the chain.

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking: Do you think the answers provided in the ARG will be put into the show eventually? What do you mean by it's a completely different story? The information provided in the ARG seems much too important to placed in a game instead of the actual show, but maybe I'm just unclear in the direction the show is going.

Also, I'd like to comment that from my experience, very few people actually fully participated in the ARG. Most people just let others do the work and then read summaries and watched videos when it was all over.

I'm sure a couple of elements will creep into the next series but (I'm not sure if i will get into any trouble) the whole Hanso thing is pretty over for the time being as far as I know.
I'm sure the majority of people left the clue searching to the more dedicated fans who posted the final outcomes at numerous forums. the only real indication I had that people were still into it after all that time was the volume of hits, I'm not sure how many over all but there was plenty, I think over 20M for the Hanso Foundation site.

But anyway, I didn't really want to go into it too much, I was just mentioning that a bit of influence from the old Adventures went into making the Lost ARG.

That's cool man. Thanks for the responses. Don't worry I won't push anymore.

Yeah hopefully we will see some adventure elements in the upcoming Lost videogame from Ubisoft.
