They keep promising to make Sayid awesome...but so far, only for a bit of Season 4 did they follow through.

Definitely. Sayid could be great. As could Locke! Wasted, wasted...

I'm kinda likin' Jack's dad right now too, but only because I can't figure him out.

I really do think so much potential for the show is wasted, just....wasted. Like-- why the fuck is everyone still hot for Kate, & why can't most of the characters ever have character growth?

we are re-watching through season 1 on xbox netflix, funny to see the roots of all these stories, and how much shit got left behind. are we supposed to believe the smoke monster sounds like a giant mech crashing through the jungle sometimes? season 1 makes me really appreciate the writing, not sure it's still as good later, but early on it is just tight, compact, so well done.

Yeah...season 1 is a nice season where things HAPPEN. You know? I think I might have been ruined by BSG...people complain about the ending of that show but me? I think it was great. & THINGS HAPPENED.

agreed. after s1 of lost, you have to be reallllly invested in the characters to stick with the non-eventfulness of some episodes, and that only works sometimes for me. i feel like they didn't play up some crucial connections in the oceanic 6 storyline, it was more interesting in my head than on screen.

shit does happen at the end of the current season though, stick with it.

Oh, well yeah, I like this season; unlike previous ones where they'd dwell on a single mystery for 10 episodes then NEVER resolve it, this one they dwell on a mystery for half an episode then never resolve it, which is fine with me!
