Its approaching its climax in the states, and has just started up again on channel four in Britain, so who has been or is now watching the current series of Lost?

I have just seen episode 15 & got to finally find out what happened to Claire when she was taken by Ethan Rom (an anagram of Other Man by the way). Episode 20 has just aired in America i believe.

I was wondering who else has been following this show? Lost really grabbed me when i received the first 12 episodes for Chrimbo, since then i have been hooked by its clever character development, interesting storylines, clever use of flashback, intrigue and mystery both on and off the island, the technical proficiancy of the show.. and so on. My favourite character is Charlie Pace, although Desmond, Mr Eko, Jinn and Locke are pretty interesting too.

So as the series reaches its finale, what are you guys feelings towards the new directions the show has taken, or perhaps you think it has not diversified enough? Positves and negatives are welcome, tell us what you like about the show, who is your favourite lost soul, your favourite moments, and so on. Spoilers are allowed, but please mark your post for example: **SPOILER episode 20** or similar. :)

I just watched the finale, and man, great episode. A lot of answers were given, but, of course, even more questions. Bring on Season 3!

Well, got ourselves another clue for the Lost Experience

In this week's episode, another Hanso Foundation ad comes on. A link is given www.sublymonal.com

After clicking and such (nothing fancy lol), you'll get the next code - Heir Apparent.
I attempted to go on the hanso foundation site, but its down right now. Clue prob. has to deal with that site somehow. Hmm, I guess the number of clicks could determine something.

I got curious about the DHARMA Initiative.
Found a site http://thedharmainitiative.org/


BTW, on the Hanso Site, has anyone fiddled around with the stuff yet?

Oh yeah has anyone else been following 'The Lost Experience'? I find it pretty impressive for a tv show, i also feel it underlines that Lost is a different show that tries to take things in interesting directions.

When i first saw the add for the Hanso Organisation in the advert break on Channel Four, i was kinda amazed. Then i found out they had published a book using a fictional author supposidly someone now 'Lost'. Not only that but there are phone numbers, websites, paging numbers, and probably more that you can ring/use/whatever, to discover clues about the series, crazy, hope it leads to something rather than just being a cool extra.

Oh yeah and someone told me that in the credits for MI:III under the special thanks section, they actually thank 'The Hanso Organisation' lol.

Monteee i'd of thought you would of already watched it :eek:

One difference i can see with series two of Lost compared to other shows, is that it almost seems to of just carried on. Rather than simply restarting the formulae of the first series, as many cult shows do, going through a load of basic character building episodes, it continues where series one left off, and well never really seems to slow down, even on the quieter episodes.

I can see why this would make some people prefer the first series over the second, although i am divided in opinion currently.

With a third series already in the pipeline, and most likely at least a fourth if not more after that (although i feel going any further than four series with this show could prove a big mistake), its certainly got time for the creators to unravel the various mysteries they keep presenting us with.

I thought the first season was wonderful. Season two, however, is a bit out there for me, though. However, I am forced to keep watching because I, for some reason, just have to know what will happen. It's still about the only reason I watch TV apart from Seinfeld.

Hmm, we are at the the beginning of the climax leading up to the season finale. Not sure if I should state anything being that you are a little behind ;). I missed a good bit of season one and also some of season 2 b/c of a late class last semester, haven't missed an episode this semester. Still need to catch up.

Episode 20 is rather intense.
