When I first seen the cliffhanger, I almost screamed NOOOOOO because I though LOSt was only a 1 season show, and that the ending was so dumb, then I found out that the series continued, and it was better, but still, it was quite the wait.

I can see why. That would have indeed been a stupid spot to end. They had no intention of doing that. I suspect that they made such an ending so that peolple will become more interested in it. Apparently it worked. I have never seen such suspense in a show before! No wonder they are the 4th most popular show!

I know what you mean. Most of my books can't compare to the complexities of Lost! It's worthy of several hundred awards. Those writers had better not retire after they finish Lost! They have too much potential for that!

If the ending of the first episode wasn' suspensful as it was, then you would have a good reason to call it just your average getting stranded on an island show with little depth as you said.

Yes, being stranded on a desert island is a common and overused theme. Unless it is specialized in some way, like how LOST has done, it just gets turned into the omnipresent theme of man's conquest over the forces of nature and its rise from scraping a meager existence of the land to ruling it.

Exactally, it was a real good show, and I love the flashbacks, and in-depth characters and its neat how they all fit together.

You would think that using a cliche would turn out as you would have expected: A predictable story, but when you make a cliche into something as twisted as Lost, then it is far from predictalbe and boring.

There are so many little things, that when connected, it becomes a big thing, the music fits as well perfectly.

People have tried to do that and very few were successful I think. Lost was one of the successful ones.

It's that sort of attention that gets so many people thinking. They pay so much attention to detail, that they put in events a scenes that would not even be noticeable if you just watch it on the TV. The shark's fin for example.
