Lost

Since it's Friday, and because I can make no major life decisions without consulting my friends' list, here's a poll.

I find it strangely compelling rubbish

Yes, you should, despite the fact that Jack is indeed a rubbish character. :-D

I'm hooked on Lost, m'self. The show always opens quite well, and the cliffhangers are pretty strong (except for when they play out with soft rock music, which makes me pull out large amounts of my hair); but the middle of each episode seems to trail off somehow.

If they're capable of creating such good dramatic tension at the start and end, I'm mystified as to why they can't always carry it right through. Sure, I appreciate that you have to vary the tone in order for the drama to work, but a lot of the show is just uninteresting and unnecessary IMO.

I'm pretty certain that I'll carry on with it, now. It's definitely not the wonder that I'd been hoping for before it started, but it's good enough to keep me watching, and to keep giving me reason to think that it *could* be as good as I'd hoped. (Which means, of course, that, if it never is, I will be very peeved indeed...)

I'm not sure how Jack manages to be so rubbish. But at least there's Sayid. And Locke (though, er, not in the same way).

You are, of course, supremely evil for not using ticky-boxes in your poll. Because, in that case, my answer would have consisted of:

Yes, 'The 4400' finishes soon and you'll need something to watch at breakfast, and you'll just get increasingly bitter about Jack being a rubbish character.

And the latter is a good thing.

Jack's a bore, but there are lots of other interesting characters, like Locke and Sawyer. Plus, pretty beaches.

I'm watching Lost season 2 and it's great; they've ramped up the plot and given us more characters. Besides, there's Hurley!

Ew. We do not watch Lost for Jack. We watch Lost for Locke and Hurley. And if we need an eye-candy break, Sayid is not bad at all.

I think I must be a very stupid person, because I just can't get Lost. I started watching it twice, once on German TV, once on Hungarian Tv, and after the first couple of episodes, I just got lost... pardon the inevitable pun.

After the second try, I gave up on the series. There is mystery and there is mystery, and I guess my under-developed brain just isn't capable of dealing with all those flashbacks and the hints of what might be going on. *blinks ashamedly*
