Lost...Refuse to watch this programme on TV

Lexus1976

Have wasted practically every Monday evening for the last 2 years watching Lost.....and have no idea what this programme is about. It always seems to answer questions with with more questions....

I refuse to be a slave to the rte schedule for the next 3 to 4 years.... will buy the series on DVD when they come out......

I know how you feel. The suspense is KILLING ME now from watching it every week. I only got hooked because RTE showed a load of episodes back to back last summer.

You're hardly a slave. They offer a repeat episode later in the week and you can watch episodes on Channel 4's website I think.

I myself like a show with a bit of mystery. Most programmes on TV are too predictable so I regard the show as a breath of fresh air.

And that is what suspense and mystery are all about…

Lost is a great show, it has its dull moments, but the plot is puzzling, the script is very well written, it has equal amounts of humour and drama, it is well acted and it has a flow that drags you in.

Waiting for the DVD may seem like an idea, but you might learn of things before seeing them unfold and that can be a story killer.

I to some point quite agree with the thread-starter.

I'm quite annoyed that RTÉ didn't show us these funky little Hanso whatsit adds and other little fun peaks into the Lost experience, as other channels did. It seems like most other countries are in the whole thing yet Ireland can't be arsed with it. Or at least, our /favourite/ broadcasting company can't. I must say though It's no big surprise.

I'll be watching it on Channel 4 again next series anyway. I watched the first series there and the seccond on RTÉ, before I knew they were not showing these little extras Channel 4 did and that many other countries had. Now I know about the whole "Lost Experience" I might just stay with it, albeit on another channel!

Yes people really need to pester RTE into showing the Lost experience because it was announced to today it holds they key to the numbers i.e. what they mean.

Its hardly like Lost is a low rated show its their most buzzed and highest rated series.

Pye

Aye. RTÉ is just ruining the whole thing. Those eejits who come on during the breaks get on my nerves especially!

I'm going to write a complaint to RTÉ. I think everyone else who's bugged about this should too. The more the better!

Is there exact dates when USA
.........and RTE are showing series 3?

thanks

Mik...

I mean

RTÉ have a 7 series contract (just means that no one else can bid for a future series, there probably wont be 7 of them)

but yes, next season, bit torrent for me. god i hate waiting months to watch it and avoid the spoiler threads here and elsewhere

Pye

Let's just hope you get them in the right order! I knew someone who torrented 'em and ended up watching them all jumbled up.

You'd think if RTÉ signed up for such a big amount of programmes they'd at least show them properly. Those prats can't get anything right.

emeraldstar

i didnt know Channel 4 were showing the Hanso ads, or that other countries were doing it too. I thought it was just in the US that they were shown.

First they show the finale in two parts, now this. RTE are some feckin eejits.
:mad:

Nalz

Erm I'll ask again...Is there exact dates when USA TV and RTE are showing series 3?

This might ease your pain,

FROM COMIC-CON

Lindelof talked about the show having what he saw as a logical endpoint, and balancing that with the network likely wanting the show to go on for several years, saying, "We have four, maybe five awesome seasons planned out, and after that we'd have to start tap dancing, which is something we don't want to do," and pondered telling the network, "Fine, you can do more episodes of Lost, but we won't have anything to do with that." Ultimately, Lindelof observed, "The reality of ending it on our own terms is unrealistic, so we have to work around that."

As for airdates, 4th October 2006, ABC (US)
Ireland - Early 2007 is all we have.

very boderline talking about BT but tbh if you know when the show is released (ie wednesday) and obtain it on thursday/friday i don't see how you could mix them up.


all i can say is october the 4th better hurry up and not just for lost but for south park aswell.

"We have four, maybe five awesome seasons planned out, and after that we'd have to start tap dancing, which is something we don't want to do,"

I dunno, I quite like the idea of Kate in a skirt dancing across the screen. Maybe Hurley could join in as well.

Pretty sure the continuity announcer said January at the end of the series on Monday...personally I'm in two minds about whether I'll be tuning in, Lost is possibly the most frustrating TV programme to follow but I'm still addicted. Too many questions answered with questions, I really get the feeling that there is no plot outline and the writers make it up as they go along and scrap certain subplots eg what happened to the monster and I know if I shot a polar bear on a tropical island I would probably find it strange and mention it further down the line

That's RTé by the way

Apart from the last two shows it hardly matters what order you watch 'em in .

I keep telling myself that come October I wont watch the first 6 episodes (the first part of the season) and then watch them all back to back in January. I know in theory I probably wont be able to give in but this is the way TV shows like Lost are meant to be watched IMHO - at least 2 and 3 episodes at a time.

Killaqueen!!!

haha you people make me laugh!

Tiny bit off topic I know but I prefer watching a show weekly so for example I got 24 on dvd but decided instead of doing it in 1 weekend I decided that I would watch an episode a week which is what I did for 24 weeks, I think you savour it more.
