Never Watched Lost:
- Why did you not watch the show? Not interested? Interested but thought it would be too time consuming? Don't watch TV? Other?
Used to Watch Lost but Don't Anymore:
- During what season and when in the season did you start watching?
- If you did not start watching when the pilot aired for the first time, how did you get caught up on the show (TV reruns, DVDs, iTunes, etc)?
- What was the primary medium by which you watch the show (TV, iTunes, DVDs, abc.com, etc)?
- Did you participate in media extensions of the program (blogs, The Lost Experience, books, etc)? If so, which ones?
- Did you feel it was necessary to participate in these media extensions to understand what was happening on the show?
- When and why did you stop watching?
- Did you find the narrative plot lines hard to follow?
- Did the large ensemble cast make it difficult to follow?
