I'm two-and-a-half years behind, so eagerly await your final verdict. Why did I get behind? Because "Lost" became one of the prototypical shows that started the whole "half season" concept: start late in the new season...air three, maybe four eps...rerun them...show a handful of additional new shows...rerun them...stop after ten or twelve eps and then rerun for several months...return in the new year with season x.5. I'm old enough to remember when all TV shows started in the same week, a season was 26 - 28 shows, you got new eps every week until the spring, and then reruns started in for the summer. The new system of constant reruns, half seasons, and long hiatuses has caused me distress with shows like "Lost". I simply couldn't keep up amidst other shows, work, and life, so had to give up.

Did anyone care? I'm still gathering my thoughts. I'm holding off on discussion of specifics for fear of spoilage. I'm torn, really torn. There are somethings I liked and somethings I didnt. I think they may be the same as the things I've liked and disliked about the show the whole time. I rewatched the pilot episode and while I am not thoroghly convinced that they had the whole thing planned out, I think there was some definitive planning from the beginning. I think Locke teaching Walt to play backgammon was indicative of such. I'm walking away from six seasons not feeling Galactica'd but not necessarily satisfied either. Anyone else? Bosco
