"If you haven’t watched it yet… SPOILER ALERT!"

I notice that you didn't do that with your 24 post on Tuesday, which I had to quickly scroll past every time I looked at the page. I was going to leave a pissy comment, but couldn't even do that, as I could tell people were saying more plot-revealing things. When it was finally safe to read your post, I was very, very, very, incredibly glad I'd skipped it, as you jump right into giveaways of the last five minutes of the finale in your first sentence.

This is all by way of saying that I hope this spoiler alert indicates a new, more prudent, era of humpy posts. Thank you.

Is Lost a victim of Twin Peaks disease? I asked myself that question after last year's season finale. But here I was again this year. I'll probably give it another chance, but Lost's hold on me is slipping.

The show is fun but I turned it off 15 minutes before the end because I could really give a shit about any of the "mysteries".
It does have the "twin peaks" problem but "twin peaks" was a ton smarter.
There really in no difference watching ten minutes of "Lost" or 5 hours of "Lost." Just goofy meta entertainment with too many commercials.

Okay, the hobbit heavy-metal bass player is tripping me out. What the hell was up with him at the end? He was walking around like nothing happened, and his girlfriend didn't press the issue. Has he snapped? Is he halucinating like we thought maybe Hurley was with Libby for a while? Is his girl retarded? Why are they acting so unlike any sensible, normal person? Are they delusional, or is it just lazy writing?

I'm more interested in the Russian doll of Skinner box inside of Skinner box that comprises the six stations around the central magnet, frankly.

I hope Michael remembers you can't leave, because the compass always points you back.

I think that there is sort of a grand vision for the show. The writers keep looping back. Like just a few weeks ago I was saying.."whatever happened to that Desmond dude from the hatch - they haven't closed that loop yet have they?" and then pow the show delivers the loop back. It's kind of like how in one of the first episodes Rose is sitting on the beach staring out and she said she 'knows' her husband Bernard is still alive and sure enough 2 seasons later they followed through -- here is Beranrd. Do i get tired of the perpetual cliffhanger -- YES! I only have a certain amount of time and patience and I hope next season is the last of it.

I just keep falling more and more in love with Lost. Maybe I'm insane and like my tv shows that never resolve the big issues, but Lost feels like it's going somewhere to me, even if it takes 5 or 6 seasons to tell the whole story. That's WAY better than Twin Peaks which solved the Laura Palmer murder and then didn't know what to do afterwards so they just run around chasing owls and whatnot.

And how about when Desmond showed up on 24 and I was like "That's where he disappeared to! He sailed to LA!"

"Numbah 6!"

Cue the robotic beachball.

They were just about to lose me until the North Pole guys at the end. Bastards, now i HAVE to watch next season.

I think 24 struck the perfect balance of resolving everything you wanted to see resolved (thus not leaving you pissed off) and still leaving you hanging on for next season.

Umm, the giant statue of a foot with 4 toes, anyone? Anyone?

I think 'Lost' is just another sequel to 'Myst'....

The most interesting thing learned was that The Others seemed very vulnerable and not very bright for the first time...I think the Others are just another group of survivors from a previous wreck and only slightly more experienced than 'our' Lost group...
