I'm going to hunt down J.J. Abrams.

I won't kill him right away.

I assume this means that MI3 was really really bad.

Either that, or you're still mad he created "Felicity."

I didn't know he had anything to do with either of those projects.

Something from "Lost" then? We haven't been keeping up . . .

Has Lost just finished it's run over there, with no conclusions or explanations whatsoever?

X-Files gave more answers than Lost. I deleted my Lost SP on my TiVo and HDDVR once the episode ended.

I liked the Lost finale. I usually don't get involved with shows like that, but in the middle of this current season, I started watching the series from the pilot onward. One night I watched 7 episodes in a row. I have become very addicted to the show.

Perhaps it's because I've seen all the episodes within a short period of time I can remember what happened a little clearer, but I thought the finale did answer a lot of questions. Of course, it just brought up a ton more in the process. I was riveted the whole way through. Can't wait for season 3.

I've yet to watch a single episode of Lost. Should I stay far away, approach with caution, or dive right on in?

I think you either get hooked or you don't. If you don't see every single episode, there is no way you can follow the show in a satisfying manner.

I was a big fan of the X-Files and a friend of mine told me it was like that kind of show. Long story arcs and questions going unanswered all the time. I don't know if I agree that it's like X-Files because most X-Files episodes are stand-alone and have little or nothing to do with any other episode.

I'm a big fan of Lost now, so I say dive right in. I'm pretty glad I did, but now I have to wait months for the 3rd season to start up.

I really enjoyed it. It answered some questions, but not nearly as many as I would have liked.

Dive right on in.

LOL. Oh yes definitely -- forgot to mention that bit. I couldn't imagine watching the show without having seen every episode. I dont know of very many shows like that besides 24. Maybe Alias but I never really got into that so I'm not sure.

Lost season 1 was imported and doubbed here in Italy this year, and last episode was shown last week. But, after Episode 15 of season 1, I could not resist and downloaded all the remaining ones from the internet. Illegally, I admit. I'm guilty, but ABC would not stream to people outside of the US. In all honesty, I actually don't feel that guilty, since I re-watched every episode of season 1 on TV all the same, just to try to chatch more details, and because the episodes are just so good.

Then, since I was completely addicted, I downloaded all season 2, again illegally, again for the same reason as before, and still not feeling that guilty. I watched it all last week. I too ended up seeing so many episodes in a row, because it is just impossible to stop. Just to realize that episodes 22, 23, and 24 were porn movies. Alright, downloaded the real 22, but what about 23 and 24? When I found out it had not been shown in the US either, yet, I found terrible having to wait 1 week. Then, yesterday, while eagerly waiting for my usual illegal download (it takes few hours before somebody shares the file), I happen to open up a thread on our beloved EmpegBBS: subject "JJ" . I read the first sentence by Tony, I kill the browser, and just think: "Oh no! THAT JJ! What does he mean?! It's not going to be over? Who is going to get killed?".

So, now I had my illegal dose of "Lost", and I know. And It's just terrible. Terrible! I went through two entire seansons all at once, and now I have to wait months. I won't survive. Or maybe will: I'm buying all the DVDs.

Now, for some reason I thought JJ had designed it to be two seasons long. I thought I read it somewhere. Worng, anyway. So, does anybody know what his plans are? Are we going to see the light at the end of the tunnel, in May 2007, or is it never going to end?

Help.

did any of you watch "Alias"? another JJ project that was recently cancelled after 5 seasons....

I did, very occasionally, so I never really understood what was going on. How good is it compared to Lost?

That's not really a spoiler. In the official podcast that came out a week prior to the finale, the producers said something like one person will die, and two may be dead. So, I guess most hard-core viewers already knew some deaths were possible.

Oh right. Didn't get that memo.

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem discussing episodes that I've already seen, but the sort of stuff external-to-the-story stuff that gives away information, like the fact that Rodruguez and Watros were leaving the show (and Grace before them) I'd rather not know and be surprised by the episode, rather than wondering throughout the episode when they're going to be killed off.
