I regret (deeply) to inform you that is really very good

I so wish it weren't

@TheBreadmonkey I never did get into it when it was on. Maybe I should give it a go.

@TheBreadmonkey
Just maybe skip the last season? Friendly suggestion..

@Katma @TheBreadmonkey
at least it wasnt the wet socks uncomfortable of Scott's Tots episode of The Office

@Katma @TheBreadmonkey Yip, same, ditto, I concur. Top advice. The friendly bit, too. 🙂

@Katma

I intend to do it and fully understand it and come through the other side stronger and wiser

(or furious again, we will have to see)

@TheBreadmonkey I never watched it, but some friends got so into it they started a JJ Abrams cult and still make excuses for his Star Trek and Wars films.

So be wary.

@TheBreadmonkey Try watching Highlander: The Series. It isn’t.

@TheBreadmonkey With so much to watch, no time to give this another go.

I remember the pilot episode being great and the finale to that first season was brilliant.

But from what I remember, the show started to sag in the middle but tried to pull it back in the end. I think the biggest problem was that it created more questions than answers!

Do we ever find out how the polar bear got onto the island and what was the black smoke thing?

I may have to go find a fab site now for explanations!

@TheBreadmonkey oh, P.S. after the show finished, a dedicated fan re-edited the entire thing so that it ran in chronological order!

(For those wondering, the show featured flashbacks every episode to tell the story of the characters before they ended up on the island.)
