Default Should I buy LOST?
I have recently finished watching Desperate Housewives - I brought it on iTunes, watching every season from 1-7. I've got to wait until season 8 in on TV, and I need something to fill my late-night viewing habits. So, I was looking on iTunes, and I've heard a lot of good things about LOST, but also a lot of bad things. What do you think? Should I buy it, is it any good? Without giving anything away, of course.

[I know DH isn't the most macho thing to watch, but I enjoy it. Oh, and Eva Longoria's in it ]

I heard they leave a lot of un-answered questions which don't even get answered in the very last episode.

p.s. Have you seen this? http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/odd/s10/...comic-con.html << Was released today. I haven't watched it, but it's probably of interest to a LOST fan.

Everything important gets answered, everything that doesn't is hinted at.

And yeah saw that earlier It's only a joke scene though, but you still shouldn't watch it because it shows a couple of important scenes

Spoiler:

Electromagnetism on the island interferes with early stages of gestation. ("The New Man in Charge") As a result, a woman who conceives on the island suffers complications during her second trimester. Her immune system attacks the fetus, her white blood cell count plummets and she eventually slips into a coma. The woman and the fetus die near the 100th day of pregnancy. ("The Other Woman") ("Ji Yeon")


Satisfied?

I always got the feeling they made it up as they went along.

which I think they've pretty much admitted.

Lost is great. It goes on forever & it is made up as it goes along. The characters are annoying and the ending is stupid.

Buy it!

Lost was a great series. The last and final season was utter garbage though.

Other tv series I highly recommend for you to watch.

- Game of Thrones
- Dexter
- Breaking Bad
- Walking Dead
- Prison Break

You won't regret it.

LOST was immense, the ending was never gonna be accepted, it was always planned like that and in retrospect it was a perfect way to bow out. But yeah go buy it.

I think you should buy two box sets, in case something happens to one, you'll have a back up.

No matter how it ends, the first season at least (and 2 and 3) are definitely worth the watch. Tv gold.

Spoiler:

But not every woman who conceived on the island died. Wasn't it only people who were part of The Others and were on island during the Incident or the Purge whose pregnancies were affected?, can't remember the difference now.
