    What hated about Lost was I knew what it was all about right from the beginning and they straight said no no your wrong when I was right. What a waste of time that was.



    I'll be honest man, I think you didn't follow Lost correctly...I was a huge fan of the show and always will be even though they didn't answer every question, but there's no way anybody could have guessed the ending...I don't wanna get too specific in case some people haven't seen it yet, but I just think you misuderstood it is all

    it's hard to really get into this without giving away the ending so I'll leave this one alone. As to say I misunstood would be in correct because I analyze almost everything to death. :)

    Swampies, after reading your post, I had the same exact reaction as CTown and was going to make the same post.  Then I clicked on page 2 and saw that he said it, but I'll say it again...I don't think you followed the ending (and probably the last 2 seasons) correctly.  I have found that 100% of the people that didn't like the ending, or thought that it was predictable really didn't understand it at all.  When I talk to them about it they all have the same reaction, "oh, well I never thought about it like that" etc...  All I will say is that if you thought it was all a dream or didn't really happen...you are sadly mistaken.

    agreed that if anyone thought it was a dream they would be mistaken. Anyway Lost to me was to predictable and that's is why IMO it doesn't belong in this thread with the top shows ever like GOT, BB, Soprano's.

    How can a show that  has people talking about a million-and-one differing interpretations be predictable?  LOST is the antithesis of predictable.

    I've never seen one episode of Game if Thrones so I can't include it.

    Yeah Swampies, I kind of assumed you thought it was a dream or none of it actually happened like DefiantVitreous said, b/c most people who hated it believed one or both of those to be true...but now that you say you know those things weren't true I'm very surprised you were able to predict it...and I can definitely see how you wouldn't enjoy it if you were able to predict it....I found it very unpredictable, and I'm glad it was for me, or I'm sure I would've been in your boat....I also agree with you in that it's not on GoT or BB level though, but I'll always love Lost

    Funny thing is i follow a protocol that is very similar to Lost which is typing a sequence of letters into a computer every 108 minutes Dr, af, tc, al, c.c, om. :)

    this is one you need to give it time. I thought the first season took awhile to get going as well. But once you get into it, you'll be hooked. At least that's my opinion, but I really like mobster movies and shows.

    ^ totally agree with this ... I actually thought season 1 was great .... but it only gets better.  I like mobster stuff too Buckys ... I think you're from Wisconsin ... if you ever are in St Paul - they have some good tours of old mobster hangouts/caves from back in the prohibition days, they're pretty cool.

    that's good to know. My in-laws live in Hudson, so I'm near St. Paul quite often. Where would I have to go to get a tour of that stuff?

    I agree season 1 was good. I just think it took about half the season to really get me hooked. I really need to watch that series again.

    http://www.wabashastreetcaves.com/gangster.html is the first one I saw ... but my guess is:  http://www.exploreminnesota.com/things-to-do/2324/saint-paul-gangster-tours/ has better info.... let me know if you're going to plan on it and I can ask around for you.  I grew up in StP but unfortunately have never been on any of these - so I'd even hook up with ya if you go....

    My uncle has a farm in SD, right by the MN border .... and "legend" has it that Capone and his boys used to run booze through there and actually stayed at the original farm owners house.... crazy stuff.

    thanks for the info.

    I'm sure I wouldn't do it until late summer, but I'm not exactly sure when. I'd definitely hit you up when I go.

    That's a cool story. It's those tules if stories that are the best.
