Sorry guys, never seen the show, but from I hear, it's a cult following. All I know is that they film it here in a secret location and its all hush-hush. There was a recent article about it where they got some quotes from a couple grips or something, which put the spotlight on the newspaper getting too close.

 

It reminds me a little of "Twin Peaks". Remember that one? It was this show about this town in Colorado, I think up in the mountains, sort of secluded and there was this murder. Then during thelocal investigation, you are introduced to the characters of the town and the viewer is supposed to look for clues. The problem with the show, like this one, is that the clues are very ambiguous and sent everyone on a wild goose chase until nobody knew what the hell was really going on anymore, but KEEP WATCHING! IT'S GONNA BE IN THE VERY NEXT EPISODE.....

 

I was working downtown one day at the YWCA and they had it all mocked up like a psychiatrists' office for an episode of Lost. Didn't know then....don't know now.

It's a strange one,and a lot of people are hooked trying to work out what it's all about, a bit religious, a bit supernatural, a bit 'Carrie', and why are there polar bears in the sub-tropics? It's all about a plane that crashed 3000 miles off course. The island they're on seems to act a a magnet for disaster, plane crashes, ship wrecks etc. Wouldn't say I'm hooked, but I'd be disappointed if I missed one.

Polar bears? Are you kidding me? What's next....aliens?

 

Funny thing, I grabbed a paper today from a depressing looking guy selling them in the traffic line (out of sympathy, really) and on the front page was an article exlaining that two of the main actresses have been arrested for DUI a second time and had mug shots on the front page. I think they said they were lost..... <_<

Aye, polar bears, well one very big one to be exact, and it eats people. They killed a big one, it's pup, in an early episode. Strange series, but they will keep everyone guessing what it's all about until it gets pulled. As soon as they tell you it will be over, but it would have to be something extraordinary to make sense of it all. I doubt there will ever be an explanation.

My sympathy over the karaoke, , sorry you said not to laugh. I can't sing , but it beats me why folks who can't sing get up in front of everyone to make an a@@ of themselves, I suppose it makes you appreciate the ones who can sing all the more. It could be really useful for bar owners, put a really bad singer on repeatedly when you need to empty the place!

Aye.....it would work, too! But then there were really bad singers last night....

 

As to Lost, I think the title says it all....they were talking about the viewers.

Lost viewers, could go that way over here too, just had episode 19 of season 1, and although there is a clue as to what 'The Island 'is all about each episode, it just seems to make less sense each time.

Cult following =small and but enthusiastic audience, =entertainment speak for not the success we expected.

Isn't this the show Hollywood was saying was going to be a real life version of Gilligan's Island?

wait...some how thats just all wrong....

Gilligan's island and real life in one sentence.

Now now Skipper, not so hasty...... or maybe there's a point there.

Lost and real life, as much similarity as Life & Gilligan's Island.

Lost and Gilligan's island, only similarity in truth are the coconuts!

BTW, Cleave's point about two girls from the cast being caught driving under the influence has made the news on teletext over here!

Problem is they've given a good part of a future story line away in doing so, both girls are from season 2, so now anyone who didn't know, knows that the other half of the plane has survivors we haven't seen yet!

I'm confused....plane crash with suvivors who are lost...how lost when they are picked up for DUI?

Yup its the island with out doubt its the coconuts fault I'm sure.

C'mon LOST?! If you want a good cult following, that would be Stargate SG-1! I was a die hard fan on that one till they took out Sam and Jack though. Now waiting to see what might come of next season.
