I'm absolutely hooked on this new show! It creates great debates around here as to what the meaning of the show could be. There has to be something more to it than just surviving a plane crash. My theory is that each person that survived is "lost" somehow in their personal life. One lost to drugs, one lost to a disability, one lost in a marriage, etc. My boyfriend thinks they are all really dead, but just don't know it.
Tonight's show was great and now I can't wait for next week. It's been a long time since I've really enjoyed anything on TV besides CSI.
Anyone else have a theory? Thought it might be a good distraction from the election results.

Cheryl,
There is a message board that deals with LOST and examines each charactor, plot, items shown, etc.
After you read about each episode you will probably want to tape it so you can watch it again.
I started to watch it but then again I forget what time or day it is on. In case anyone watches other reality TV here is a link for the rest of them. Then just click on the show you want.

I missed it tonight because SWMBO has the TeeVo set to record EVERY edition of a show called CSI, which apparently has about a dozen versions. It didn't copy it and now I'll have to wait till it reruns later in the week. RATS!
I like it too, in a Twin Peaks kind of way...

I'm still wondering what that big creature is that was in the first or second episode. They did kill a small one and they said that it was a polar bear and they kinda showed it but not a real good look at it. I couldn't tell exactly what it was.
Someone, I think it was Profe51, in a previous thread here said that he thought it was starting to look like Survivor meets the X-Files. I kinda think that if that's the case and there is all sorts of mystical magical stuff happening on the island they are on then I might stop watching it, i'm not into that sort of stuff.

I don't think it will be like that at all. Last night's episode was great. I like Charlie, but I like Sayid the best.

Here's the premise (taken from a Lost website)
Out of the blackness, the first thing Jack (Matthew Fox, Party of Five) senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks in: people need his help.
Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had -- like Kate (Evangeline Lilly), who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. Hurley (Jorge Garcia) – a man with a warm sense of humor despite the desperate situation – does his best to keep his cool as he helps those around him to survive. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring trilogy) is a faded rock star who harbors a painful secret. Sayid (Naveen Andrews, The English Patient) is a Middle Eastern man who must wrestle with the racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors. Jin (Daniel Dae Kim, Spider-Man 2, 24) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and language are foreign and thus causes much to get lost in the translation.
Sawyer (Josh Holloway) has an air of danger surrounding him, and his intense sense of mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be fatal to his fellow castaways. Michael (Harold Perrineau, Oz) has just gained custody of his nine-year-old son, Walt (Malcolm David Kelley, Antwone Fisher, You Got Served), after the death of his ex-wife – they are a father and son who don't even know each other. Locke (Terry O'Quinn, Alias, Primal Fear) is a mysterious man who keeps to himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to the island than any of the others. And self-centered Shannon (Maggie Grace, Oliver Beene) – who actually gives herself a pedicure amid the chaos – and her estranged controlling brother, Boone (Ian Somerhalder, Smallville) – constantly bicker and must learn to get along if they are to survive.
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.
From J.J. Abrams, the creator of "Alias," comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost.
