Did It Take You a While to "Get" It?

[C_Miller]

I've gone through the first two seasons and now I've decided to go back through them with my Dad since it'll be nice to discuss the show with someone who's essentially in the same place I am. Now, I was more or less instantly taken with the show when I started and I was kind of surprised he wasn't. So, I'm asking how long it took for the show to click with you guys.

Note: He did like The Moth (the last episode we watched) because he was compelled by Charlie's story.

The show really clicked with me from the pilot. It was (and is) one of the best pilots I've ever seen. But I must say that the hooks were completely sucked in with Walkabout. That revel of Locke's paralysis really said to me "This show is really gonna go somewhere weird and way cool and isn't going to be your standard tv series".

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The show hooked me in the pilot, and not too long into the pilot, either - definitely by the time Sawyer shot the polar bear.

 

[Starbreaker]

Enjoyed the pilot, was hooked by Walkabout.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Within the first two minutes really. The shot with Jack running out onto the beach to see the plane wreckage was really epic feeling.

Absolutely. I was very impressed by the entire opening to the show.

 

[Jack Bauer]

The first 10 minutes of the pilot is frakking awesome. It's definitely one of Lost's best opening scenes. And not just Lost...I'm talking in tv history.

I missed the pilot and got sucked in by episode 2. Go figure.

Get past S2-3 and hold out for 4. It really starts to blow your mind by then.

I was committed to giving the show a chance within the first 10 minutes of the pilot. By the time Boone showed up with a fist full of pens, I was like "Oh yeah, this shit is gonna be good"

Walkabout confirmed that commitment & cemented it, & I knew I was right when Do No Harm came up

Those three episodes are some of the finest hours of television ever

I fell in love with the pilot and season one validated those feelings. Season two and the first stretch of Season 3 did its best to drive me away and I really lost interest in that bad stretch of S3 especially when Heroes in S1 was doing things so much better but by the time of "Enter 77" I was head over heels again. But S6 made me totally apathetic.

 

[auntiehill]

I liked the pilot but was still iffy but like it more and more every minute I watched.

But Walkabout sealed the deal. After that one, I didn't miss an episode. I was completely hooked.

Orientation did it for me but I started with Man of Science, Man of Faith so perhaps that's a bad example. However, after watching Orientation I went and got the DVDs of season one before watching more. Walkabout was the first one to blow me away.

 

[Hober Mallow]

When I first started watching Lost, the first four seasons had already aired. I jumped in around episode five, saw all four seasons, went back and watched the first few episodes on DVD. Walkabout was, I think, the last episode I saw before season five began airing. It's still one of my favorites.

Yo, C, why'd you give up on your very own Lost review thread?

 

[FormerLurker]

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

I was surfing, waiting for this new show called 'Lost' to start, when I found this engaging show set on a tropical island, with a plane crash on the beach, and the aftermath of that. I decided to see what this show was called, go look at 'Lost,' and if I didn't like it, come back to this other show. I never changed the channel.

 

[C_Miller]

Yeah, I was exactly the same way. I decided to look around for something new to watch on Netflix instant and I decided to try out Lost. I knew the series had just ended and I was planning on trying to watch it eventually when I could get all the DVDs at go for it at my own pace. I'm not sure exactly when I got caught up in it, but it was certainly by the end of the first part of the pilot.

And Hober, I've been watching far too quickly to keep updated. Since I'm going back to school, I'll probably start up again. But I'm going to do an overall impression of The First two seasons. Stay tuned.

Can't wait.
