Lost was an interesting one season experiment in weirdness and mystery.

It fell apart when they realized they had a hit show on their hands and NO explanations for all the crap they pulled in Season One - hence you get 4+ seasons of filler/back filler/attempts to weave a cohesive story around the first season's weirdness.

I endured the first season. Then i took a good long look at what the hell they were trying to explain away and thought......."no bloody way mate, see ya"

I mean, there is mystery but then there is just random crap that doesnt make sense in an attempt to be mysterious.

Not at all. BSG is beyond corny.  I've only ever made it through about 25 minutes of an episode.

Wait, what?

There are many problems with the most recent BSG series - but being corny?

That's one I've neither heard before nor think is defendable.

It's often too serious, too dramatic, the characters are often too dark or depressing, and the story sometimes segueways for no apparent reasons between plots without any climax to said plots...

but corny?

I guess a show that takes itself, and it's dramatic topics (militarism, religion, technological, humanity) too seriously, could be defined as being so serious it's corny... but I think that's stretching the definition of corny a bit too far.

Adam West Batman was corny.  Buffy was often corny.  Lost can definitely be corny.  But BSG - eh, no, even as someone else's opinion, I don't see it.

how would you know its corny if you barely watched one episode?

Because it's corniness is what prevented me from watching anymore.

I think Lost and BSG (04) both have serious flaws - but I'd say BSG was the better show for most of its run. It was stronger minute to minute and (I think) episode to episode - Lost clearly suffers from being a network show, from the shows-within-a-show issue (trying to capture various demos) to the "let's name characters after philosophers!" lowest-common-allegory issue. I have to give Lost credit for its formal experiments with structure, though, as well as its handling of time travel (unusually sophisticated for television/film). That said, any given episode (or scene) can be pretty terrible television. Until BSG felt apart late, each episode tended to be at least good and was frequently very good.



I will say that both shows' interest in harebrained mystical ******** keeps me from liking them more. There are other recent serial dramas that I prefer that've avoided that area entirely - and are stronger as a consequence, I think.

Thank you!
So much of my sci-fi gets ruined by metaphyiscal spiritual crap.  It'd be fine if some sotries went there, but it often feels to me like they almost ALL do.

BSG was a master piece...



When they were showing space ships getting blown up.



Other than that... Meh.

I couldn't watch more than three episodes of BG because they kept saying "Frak" every other word and that made me want to bash my skull into a concrete block

BSG isn't the only sci-fi tv show, let alone only piece of fiction, to invent it's own slang.  That's a pretty lame-ass reason to not like a show.

[Onyx Jaguar]

I didn't say I didn't like it, I liked it but I couldn't really marathon it.

Plus it really got on my nerves.

Frak, FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK.. Frak, fRak, fRAK, arrghg

Kind of like getting annoyed by Erkel's voice in family matters, can't help if I find it annoying.

And I still don't have a clue whats going on.
Does anyone else? Something about time? The Devil? Smoke? Alternate timeline? Baby stealing?

Nobody does, even the stars and the writers of the show dont have a clue what is going on, they just keep pulling ideas out of their arses and try to keep the show going as long as possible, seriously the show should have finished ages ago.

If it was only special effects than it would be a Micheal Bay tv show, it's the stuff surrounding the effects (the majority of the show)  that doesn't make it mindless eye candy.

Desmond is back. That's about all yesterday's episode was good for.

....no idea either. Going to rent it all on Netflix or something when it's done.

Maybe that's what's going to happen.

In the final episode, everyone finds Jesus.

It'd be sweet and disturbing at the same time.

I'm addicted; yes. It's a hate or love thing.

Some left the island in Season 4. Then they came back in Season 5 and were transported to 1977.

[Rubbish Hero]

What the hell happened to that dog?

[jimmyjoefro]

Vincent, Rose, and Bernard weren't transported back and stayed in 1977 (one of the theories is that the two bodies they found in the cave in season 1 are Rose and Bernard). Or they were transported back and are just hanging out in the jungle waiting to die.
