<p>*This relates to HSL because Lost is such a popular show, popular shows are talked about, and social interaction is an aspect of high school.</p>
<p>Onto the real topic, what do you think of Lost? I hate it, and was wondering if I was alone or not.</p>
<p>Also, is it really as popular in your high school as I suggest?</p>
<p>Ugh I lost the game.</p>
<p>I love it? What is with everyone stating their reasons for why their thread belongs here?</p>
<p>^There is a sticky at the top about all post in this forum having to relate to high school specifically. I guess people don't want to get their threads moved.</p>
<p>Funny how the intended topic never got a chance to be discussed before this thread was derailed.</p>
<p>@ technol: it's</a> okay now.</p>
<p>@ amciw: I don't watch TV. D:</p>
<p>It's not very popular at my school, far behind Gossip Girl and House. I liked the first season, but I've heard it's gone downhill.</p>
<p>I see. Lost epitomizes everything I hate about mainstream, primetime, television today. Its an ineffable hate, though, so don't ask me to expound.</p>
<p>While I respectfully disagree with your opinion, can you give me specific examples instead of some ambiguous rant?</p>
<p>Yeah, but it may get boring...hope they don't start delaying the ending like Prison Break now that they're actually off the island w/ the flash forwards...seems like that's what they're about to do. House has also become a drag...we all already know his act. Grey's Anatomy is floating well right now, they better keep it up,but then again if they don't then i'll get to study more.</p>
<p>Also ppl in my school talk about music. Not tv.</p>
<p>
lol noob status. ;)</p>
<p>It has its ups and downs, but the overall impression is more favorable than whatnot...</p>
<p>Admittedly, compared to the shows the majority of kids at my school watch (trashy reality shows a.k.a. Tila Tequila and company), I enjoy Lost.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This will not be complete, but here are a couple of examples...</p>
<p>The overly dramatic effects, trying to be cool
The sometimes implausible storyline, trying to be cool</p>
<p>It just seems like junk that appeals to everyone only for the coolness factor, I guess. That the problem I see with so much of TV today. They try to be sophisticated and chic. I don't like it, at all.</p>
<p>LOL, amciw, implausible storyline? You think? It's not supposed to be like "Lord of the Flies." Would you criticize "I, Robot" or "1984" for an implausible storyline? "LOST" is basically science fiction.</p>
<p>Since when does either of the things you listed indicate "trying to be cool?"</p>
<p>I love LOST! It always keeps me on my toes, thinking...I would wager to say that it is the most intelligent show on basic TV in a lot of ways because it doesn't just encourage watching, it encourages interacting and creating theories and challenging the creators.</p>

I sincerely thank you, without any trace of sarcasm or mocking intended, for giving me a really good laugh today at 3:00PM currently while I just woke up. It made me wide awake.</p>
<p>Last week, after hearing years and years of hype, I decided to go on abc and watch the first episode. I dunno, it just seemed so... boring. I stopped watching while the doctor guy runs around trying to save everybody.</p>

<p>By implausible, I meant contrived. I can't dig exact examples out of my memory, but I remember there being some things that seemed iffy.</p>
<p>Lost is not science fiction, either.</p>

<p>Its the feeling exuded by the presentation. Its painfully obvious to me the producers are trying to make a chic, hip show.</p>

<p>To each his own...</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because its true...</p>
<p>BTW, what game are you staying up late playing? I want to know</p>
<p>JJ Abrams (the creator of LOST) has alluded multiple times that he believes that LOST is, in fact, science fiction. I don't think you're qualified to say that it isn't unless you've watched all episodes, which, I would assume from your statement that you "feel excluded" by the presentation (which, 1, is lame, and 2, makes absolutely no sense) you haven't. </p>
<p>It's true, to each his (or in my case, her) own, but the things you have said to explain your dislike of the show sound downright dumb to me. I mean, "iffy" story lines and "exclusionary" graphics? Please.</p>
<p>Just wondering, what TV shows do you like?</p>
<p>I hate the TV show Lost with a burning, fiery passion.</p>
<p>"Its the feeling exuded by the presentation. Its painfully obvious to me the producers are trying to make a chic, hip show."</p>
<p>What's wrong with making a "hip" show. Do you think the creators of the show were thinking...Hmmm lets make this show so the majority of people will not like it and we will make no money! Brilliant!</p>
