Who watches Lost
« on: 12 July 2006, 23:47:14 »

OK then watches it?

I think it is one of the best programmes on TV. Just finished watching my recording off E4+1.

BTW on Freeview E4+1 is better picture than E4 - I did head to head once with two recordings - obvious difference.

Edited for spelling

Yeah, I kinda got suckered into it. Liked the format, with flashbacks to their previous lives, then a few episodes later, same flashback but more info given - gives greater insight into characters.

However, the second series dragged on a bit in the middle - good start, good, if somewhat bizarre, busy, ending.

24 is more my thing. I try not to get suckered in to it (Mrs TheBoy is an avid fan), but I see the first episode of a series (she normally needs a bit of help with the MCE), and I get hooked.  She decided to start watching series 5 about a week before we went to France last month, and we had to get the whole series done before we went - 24 hour long episodes in a week  :-/

I was half way though season 3 m8 before i got bored.. it was good, the second series was far better than the first. But season 3 they really drag out the storylines and keep it going around in circles. There are also some "dogey" things appear (not to spoil it for you) but it became too far fetched this "new thing" I lost interest in it then.

I'm worried about it being dragged on too long - if they are not careful they could kill it.

That said my wife watches Deadenders and Horrornation Street and she reckon HS is pretty poor at the moment - yet she still watches it!

This reminds me i really need to finish season 1 and get onto 2!!!  Excellent so far (i'm still at the ooooooh a hatch stage) - as you ought to expect from the makers of Alias.  I'd advise anyone to check out the first three seasons of that too (haven't seen 4 and 5 but hear they aren't as good.  Current fave series though has to be House.  Check it out!!

If you search on the internet there are loads of sites with Hurleys lottery numbers/them typed in numbers on the computer ect ect.

When 5 came up on the Irish lottery there were a record number of 5 ball winners

Sort of like it - it's about the only series-linked thing on the Sky+ box atm, mainly because the wife likes it (ergo, I'm allowed to watch it),  I did used to like 24 - but as she didn't then organising freedom-of-the-telly at prime-time Sundays became unfeasible (this was pre-Sky+ days).

I couldn't put up with being charged just to record things - I own a Freeview PVR no £10 a month there!

Going sorta off-topic, but what the hell. Yup, that stuck in the back of my throat too, however, the subscription to Sky+ is free if you take 2 of either movie or sports channels (works out around +£13, or so) - so the actual monthly subscription is much less *IF* you can justify those. I think life is changing - we seem to need a hefty dose of direct debits just to get through life nowadays.

(fond memories of "free" dial-up internet connections, before we had to pay for broadband access)

BTW - don't get me wrong - just bought me mum a Sagem (hmm!) Free-To-Air PVR/Digibox - very good value for money I think, but ultimately significantly less choice than that offered by Sky. Thankfully, we'll all benefit from the about-to-be free to airing of Film-4, in a weeks time.

(Now, back to my dreams [soon to become reality] of a HD-HTPC)

Sky, Freeview, TopUpTV, Cable - all are full of trash TV.

In the old days, flicked on the telly, flicked through 3 channels, decided nothing on, went and did something more constructive instead. Only 10 secs wasted.

Nowadays, 200 odd channels, it takes ages to decide there is naff all on before doing something else. 30m wasted.

Progress?

I got very annoyed when ITV took Men & Motors off for their rubbish quiz channel
