The Kitchen Table

Lost. The TV series.

18 years ago

I don't know where I've been but I watched Lost tonight for the first time. I liked it but it looks quite complicated with all the characters.Can any one give me a brief synopsis on the plot. Who are the good guys? I went to ABC's page on Lost but it just had clips of different episodes.

I think your best bet would to either rent season 1 (the best!) or spend some time looking around Lostpedia. Don't give up though. It is an amazing show!

Never saw that either...nor even remember seeing an ad for something like that... Might it be a factory prototype? I set up housekeeping in 57 and while we sure weren't buying a whole new kitchen, I would think if they were at all common I might have seen one or even dreamed about one. Ugly isn't it! LOL!! There ought to be a buyer that will pay you a goodly sum for that especially is everything works! Can you contact G.E.? Linda C

If you are interested in fashion, history, romance, and England in the 1920's, try House Of Eliot. My 13 year old daughter and I literally would watch 5 hours at a time. There are, as I recall, 36 episodes, each an hour long. It was written by Jean Marsh. It blends the early "modern" era, when air planes and automobiles and industrial standardization and workers rights were on the cutting edge, with women's fashion and the challenges of two upper crust young ladies left penniless by their philandering father, as they struggle to build a premiere London fashion house. My daughter and I were totally transfixed, and for her it was so educational too. We had lovely conversations about what was going on in that time frame and how fashion relates to social developments. If you loved Gosford Park and all that British stuff, you'll enjoy the breaktaking gowns and story lines about English aristocrats in their manor houses and motor cars.

maggie, It was Sawyers personality I liked so much, although he wasnt bad to look at either, the hard headed tough guy with the oh so soft heart. I look forward to reading that link Aktillery. I cant believe how much I missed watching it. We have started to watch The Walking Dead, first 2 episodes. I am not much into the zombie thing, but my DIL promises me there is so much more to the story line than just trying to escape from being eaten, so we'll see.

We'll have to give it a try, thanks, though we're working through a long queue of shows. The going is slow, we only watch every few days and usually it take two sessions to get through one episode. We have the Mhz add-on to Amazon Prime TV and it has European dramatic/mystery series. Some of the programs are really excellent, much better and sometimes a bit more sophisticated/cerebral than traditional US programs. With just a little practice we've found that following along with subtitles is perfectly satisfactory and hearing foreign language dialog is pleasant. Amazon Prime itself and Netflix have also been producing some good shows.

I watch it weekly and I don't know what the hay is going on. I keep asking myself..."Why do I watch this?"

Sorry, Lois, I forgot to say I agreed with naughtykitten; I don't think there's any other way to 'get' this show (as much as possible :) without going back and watching it from the beginning - or at least the first season. Even though it sounds daunting, it's so engrossing, you'll be glad you did. Hubby and I are always amazed at how one hour can go so fast . . . usually a one-hour episode seems like it lasts 10 minutes (. . . I guess we must be Lost :)

Even the viewer isn't sure who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. It's very confusing.

Thanks for the information. First I will check the two links mentioned before I rent. If you Lost watchers thought last nights was especially confusing I don't feel so bad. I kept thinking-why can't I figure out what's going on?
I enjoyed the intrigue so plan on watching.

I forgot to mention also that they show the previous week's episode at 8pm with "pop up video" to help catch people up on things that don't know or may have missed. This is very useful for the people who aren't diehard watchers. It might help you out to watch last night's eipsode with the pop ups next Wed before the new one.
