    This has to one of the most captivating, complex, and intense TV shows I'd ever seen. It keeps you shocked and begging for more. By the way the season premiere was presented, this might the best season of Lost yet!

    The first episode of season 4 is as emotional, mysterious, and intense as Lost has ever been. Every loose end from Season 3's finale has been tied down, and a whole season's worth of new questions seem to be just over the horizon. With writing and acting of this caliber, it seems like there could be nothing more to hope for, let alone ask.

    This is one of the best written, best casted and best acted TV series ever. It is truly one of the more gutsy and original ideas television has seen in decades. I agree that it is not for everyone, especially those who are lazy, of low intellect and lack imagination. There has never been anything on television like LOST before, and it is surely a phenomenon that will never be duplicated This is one of the best written, best casted and best acted TV series ever.

    Having now viewed the entirety of season four, I can now say with authority that Lost is as stimulating and thought-provoking as it was in the first season. That final moment...I'm not sure how they'll top that, or explain what happened, but I can't wait to find out - and that is the measure of ANY show.

    Season 4 has me so hooked, I don't know how I'll wait another week when each episode is over. This is one of the most creative shows I have ever seen. I can't believe that the reviewers who rated Lost a 0 have ever watched it. Maybe they're just mad that they can't understand it. The performances are excellent, led by the superb Matthew Fox.

    Lost was truly an incredible experience. Amanda, you have to be kidding with your comment that Lost is drawn out to make money. They have already set a cap for three more seasons 16 episodes each. It will end with a total of six seasons, much less than the currently running Law and Order series and previously ended Friends.

    This show lost its way with season 2 and the beginning of season 3. But ever since they announced that there is an end date in sight (no more filler episodes) this show has gotten unbelievable. And I anticipate the rest of this season will be more so.

    Easily one of the best things to happen to TV. More answers are arriving, the characters play off of each other perfectly, even more characters are being introduced, there's more action but it's added in perfect doses, the writing is brilliant, and it's just flat-out enjoyable to watch. Keep watching this season for those of you who are losing hope: this show is GOING somewhere.

    This show has already made history; it's just a question of how much. "The X-Files" went on for too long and ultimately imploded. On the other side of the coin, "Babylon 5" set a five-season goal from the beginning for its storyline, but the realities of network television dealt it some nasty blows. In the end, neither show reached its considerable potential. The creators of "Lost" This show has already made history; it's just a question of how much.

    I really think this might be my all-time favorite television show. I'm in my early thirties, and whenever I start to get sad of what sad fate befell the Star Wars, and now Indiana Jones franchises that were so stellar in my youth, I just remind myself that I'm getting to see that same kind of magic that those had back then right now on tv, in that I'm treated to something I really think this might be my all-time favorite television show.

It's true, I don't know if they'll come up with a satisfying answer for all the questions, and the show has definitely had its ups and downs, but just when I start to lose faith in it, it pulls me back in. I feel the first and fourth seasons have been the most consistent. The second was disappointing till Ben picked it up, and the third was really bad until they ramped it up for the last five or six episodes, but now the fourth season really only had one or two episodes I didn't thoroughly enjoy. I'm glad they set the 6 season limit, as they really seem to be moving the story along at a nice pace now, but I will be so sad when that day comes that it finally ends. Got to savor it while it lasts. Will they ever come up with a satisfying explanation for the numbers? I will be shocked if they do, but even if the pay-off isn't all there, the ride has been well worth it.… Expand

    Hey, Amanda P. Unlike most shows on TV, Lost has a set end date after 3 more abbreviated seasons. The writers have always maintained that they have known the narrative arc of the show from the beginning. Meaning that 'this thing' isnt being drawn out just to make money. Lost is a very tough show to follow if you want to get the most out of it, and it isnt everyone's cup of Hey, Amanda P. Unlike most shows on TV, Lost has a set end date after 3 more abbreviated seasons. The writers have always maintained that they have known the narrative arc of the show from the beginning. Meaning that 'this thing' isnt being drawn out just to make money. Lost is a very tough show to follow if you want to get the most out of it, and it isnt everyone's cup of tea. But those who do are rewarded with some of the most intricate and intellectually stimulating writing on TV, along with some outstanding performances. If you dont 'get' Lost.. then fine, dont watch it. If you want to criticize it for being elitist pop-philosophy then fine... please write a well reasoned critique. But please spare us your knee-jerk judgements. And no matter what you think of the show, it has writers and actors who actually try, unlike alot of crap on TV, so lets try to save the '1' votes for something truly horrid. Id like to wait and see how the season develops and how the 'flash-forward' technique works before putting in my two cents... but then again, someone has to negate the Amanda P.'s out there.… Expand

    A.L, you are a moron who has clearly never even watched Lost. It's NOTHING like a "soap opera on an island". It's a well-crafted, incredible mystery/drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bad acting? Oh right, that's why Terry O'Quinn won the EMMY this past year for his role on it and why Michael Emerson was nominated in the same category.
