Both Heroes and FlashForward have been axed. No surprise.
Americans are losing interest in serial dramas and seem happier with single-show dramas where you can miss an episode and not 'worry' about it (CSI/Mentalist/Grey's etc).

Half of that is the fault of the networks... plus of course, that damned screenwriters' strike. Here's the audience trying to keep up with weekly installments of an ongoing story... yet they keep missing weeks out, putting series on hiatus for weeks even months at a time... it's almost as if they are actively trying to make people lose interest! Idiots...

Flashforward was ok, but they clearly had no idea where to take it. V is no better though and probably costs more so i'm surprised they kept it. All i care about is the renewal of Chuck.

Hmmm... dunno about "no idea" where they were going with FlashForward... I think they were just thinking long-term, more so than they could get away with. Agree re 'V' - talk about disappointing! Badly written IMHO, all surface and no substance. Chuck being renewed for another season is VERY good news, no doubt about that! And it so very nearly wasn't. I suppose I should be used to losing series I like to the networks' hatchets... Firefly, Dollhouse, American Gothic, Farscape, Threshold, Brimstone, The Dresden Files, Terminator, The 4400 - the list goes on and on!

Well, you don't really know what you're talking about then do you?
One thing you will be right about is the polarisation on the ending. Some will love it, some will hate it. Won't detract from the utterly stunning program that it is, has been and always will be.

Just watched the last episode of lost and I know it will be criticized alot but I thought it was an absolutely unbelievable ending, it was just such a fitting spiritual,inspirational and emotional ending that doesnt only relate to lost but relates to life in general, by far the best episode of anything I have ever seen, im just so sad its over

Well, you don't really know what you're talking about then do you? . how do you come to that? i formed an opinion, that the first series was phenominal and then the rest that i saw were a let down. how many questions were left unanswered? ive read loads that people have posed that werent addressed. as someone who quit the show, i want to ask this... what the hell was that black smoke thing?

The only time it was less than superb was a bit in the middle of 3, which did admittedly drag a bit. You won't have seen Farraday, Miles, MIB, Jacob, the 1970's Dharma time, 'We have to go back' or anything past then. You've missed so much, it's been amazing. Some things unanswered, some things we're given enough information to make our own minds up and most of the rest was answered fully. I like it that way though, it retains some of the mystery. The protector of the island was a man called Jacob. The black smoke was his brother, the yang to Jacob's yin.

You've missed so much, it's been amazing. the wording is irrelevant, the point is that it was my opinion. i based my opinion on what i saw and what i saw got worse after season 1. season 2 didnt answer any of the questions left, neither did season 3 so i quit watching. thats how i based my opinion, you yourself said season 3 dragged, i dont question you on that and i accept that you enjoyed the show. how do you feel about these questions... 1. What was so special about Walt in Season One and why did they completely write him out? 2. In Season Five, who is shooting at the time jumping Losties when they are in their canoe leaving their old camp site? 3. Why did the island heal people? 4. Why couldn’t women conceive on the island? 5. Why was the island underwater at the beginning of Season Six? 6. Why did the island time travel when the donkey wheel was turned? 7. Why were the Others on the island to begin with? What purpose did they serve? 8. Why did we never get the Man in Black’s name? 9. Who was the woman who acted as Jacob and the Man in Black’s mom? How long had she been there? 10. Was Widmore a good guy or a bad guy? 11. What the hell was the point of Libby? 12. Did the detonation of the nuclear bomb at the end of Season Five do anything? 13. Why and how was Desmond special? 14. Who left all the Egyptian artifacts on the island? 15. Why were the Others kidnapping children? 16. What exactly was the DHARMA Initiative? 17. How did the island prevent people from dying if it “wasn’t done with them yet?”

How did the island prevent people from dying if it “wasn’t done with them yet?” Most of these answers cannot be answered but that is why lost is lost and people will probably still be trying to figure it out for years. My theory on the last episode and lost as a whole (may get slightly confusing here) is that the island was real and everthing that happened on it was real. What we saw in the last series was a sideways universe where flight oceanic 815 didn't crash. This world where the crash didn't happen was actually not real but was a world which the characters of lost made in order to find eachother, its a place of limbo where there is no time and all the characters there are dead but because there is no time everyone is there despite maybe dying a 1000 years later or 10 years earlier. To move on too the afterlife they need to overcome their issues and that is why Ben doesn't go into the church becasue as he says he still has stuff to sort out and isn't ready to move on. I hope I sort of explained what happened Basically just thought of an easier way of putting it. there are 3 stages: Stage 1: real life, the island, the real world. Everyone eventually dies in this stage. we witness most of the characters die at this stage like Jack, John Locke, sayid e.t.c. Ben and Hurley obviously protect the island for a long time and we have to assume that kate soya miles and the rest of the people on that plane that got off the island, lived out the rest of their lives and eventually died. Stage 2: Purgatory, limbo, the sideways universe. Everyone in this universe is dead but their is no time. this is the world where you resolve your issues and prepare yourselves for the afterlife. In this case ben hasn't sorted everything out so he isn't ready to move on to the afterlife. Stage 3: the afterlife. this is the door at the end of lost when christian shephard opens the door to the blinding light. As christain shephard says "we are not leaving just moving on" you move on to this stage when you feel you have completed everthing in stage 2

How did the island prevent people from dying if it “wasn’t done with them yet?” 1) We don't know about Walt. He hit a major growth spurt between series and it would have been weird as little time had passed in the actual show timeline. 2) Don't know, not really important. How on earth do you know about this though? 3) The island didn't, Jacob did. He brought them there as his candidates, so he's hardly going to let them die. 4) Don't know, and that's one of the ones i'd like to have seen them answer. 5) For me, it was a way of the showrunners visualising that the island isn't there. The purgatory was created by the Losties, so their subconcious just destroyed the island and left it at the bottom of the ocean. 6) This one wasn't overly well explained, i agree. The island did have mystical powers, but they never quite explained what it was and how it came to be. 7) The others were a mixture of the Dharma people and the original inhabitants of the island. Dharma were there due to the islands unique abilities. 8) It was Esau. No idea why they never gave it though. 9) She was the predecessor to Jacob, who knows how long she'd been there? 10) Widmore was essentially a good guy. He loved the island and was working for Jacob in the end. 11) Libby was a bigger storyline they wrote out due to her getting arrested on a DUI with Anna-Lucia who died also. 12) Big electro-magnetic force + hydrogen bomb. What else is gonna happen? 13) Desmond had a unique resistance to electro magnetism caused by his turning of the key in season 2. 14) The Egyptians. 15) They took Aaron because kids aren't usually born on the island and Walt because he was an untold special. 16) Dharma was a group that were testing the powers of the island. 17) Again, not the island - Jacob.

reading about a boring show that once captured my attention is a lot quicker and entertaining than watching it and being bored. if you do that though, you get to that point where you are too far behind to start watching again. most of these questions were posed by others, i just wanted to know the answers and your take on them.
personally, i still dont think i'll bother catching up with this 'amazing' show.

I'm not going to lie, i think i'll still manage to sleep tonight. It's anything but boring though. This is a show set on a magical island with smoke monsters, time travel, mystical healing, guns and fit women. It's like saying that Die Hard is boring. Don't feel bad if you couldn't keep up with it Buster, i'm sure you're not alone
