I actually didn’t watch LOST when the show first came out. I would even kiddingly make fun of people who watched it. I could never understand the draw. The people who would watch it seemed to be obsessed, they would free up their entire night when it was on and when they would talk about what happened in the episode nothing they were saying made any sense.
Then one night my boyfriend’s mom was watching it on her laptop. Apparently you can watch all the seasons for free at www.abc.com any time you want. Anyway, there wasn’t anything else on t.v. so I decided to watch just one episode with her.
Well, one turned into two which caught the attention of my best friend Angie who came and started watching with us. By the end of our little LOSTathon we had watched five episodes in a row. We were hooked. I became just as bad as the people I used to make fun of. I was really surprised to see how great of a show it really was.
We ended up having many LOSTathons after that and finally got through all three of the first seasons right before the season premier of season four. This is when it got really hard being a late-blooming LOST fan. I had watched all three seasons one right after the other. I got to watch a bunch of episodes in a row and didn’t have to wait a whole week for a new one.
But now the fourth season came online after it aired. One episode at a time. It was so hard waiting for so long to see a new one when I was so used to seeing the next one instantly. Now I both love and hate LOST at the same time. It’s the only show I watch every time it’s on but would never recommend anyone else to watch it, unless they want to get addicted too.
For those of you who have already been sucked in you can get to their official site at www.abc.go.com and submit theories, see pictures, even watch alternate endings of the season finale! You can also join the LOST on abc group on www.madebig.com and share your thoughts on the show, share pictures, share links, and meet all of us who are just as addicted as you! Hope to see you there!

I have so many friends who did the same thing to me. I’ve been watching from the beginning but I’ve had to get so many of my friends to watch the show, and all of them go through the same thing, all of the sudden they have to wait a week between episodes. It drives them crazy.
