I've got nothing against Lost, but I had the show's big reveal spoiled for me before I even attempted to start the first season, thanks to internet tomfoolery
And that's why I watch serial dramas in the first place, for the intricate storylines and twists.

The show's "big reveal"? You might be the only person in the world other than the writers who knows what that is, because at least for me, I've been watching for the last four seasons and I don't think I know what the big reveal is. (I know a lot more than I did when I first watched the first episode, of course, but for what it's worth, I don't think that any one particular big answer that spoils the entire show is known by anyone but the writers right now.)
I had heard that the island was actually Purgatory, and that everybody was already dead.
That's one of the major theories surrounding the mystery of the island,
especially hinted at in the end of the video game, Lost: Via Domus (much too short)
but that still hasn't been proven in the series, and I personally believe there's more to it than that.
Halfway through the 4th season you start to question that theory anyway.
If that's all you know, then I recommend watching the series anyway.
On a side note, the story is so secretive that the actors don't even see the script for any episode until damn near filming time (the cast, including the actress who played Tillie
didn't even know she was getting killed off until they started filming that day
), so any true spoilers you encounter would likely only be for the episodes that have already aired.
The theory you guys are talking about is probably something everyone watching the show has thought about at one point or the other, but how the show has progressed, it seems less and less likely to be the case. During the first two seasons, that theory seemed much more possible than it does now.
I'm loving me some Lost. Heroes went down the drain as it became so random. Shows such as Heroes are hurt by the fact that there is no ending written for the series. They'll keep making the seasons for as long as they have viewers. Lost, on the other hand, has the end in sights, so we know that by the end of 2010, it'll be over. This makes me keep watching. If I knew that the writers would stretch it out indefinitely, I doubt I'd remain interested.

Same. The announcement of an end date and the exact number of remaining episodes resulted in my being way more invested in the series than I was before... Also the fact that the show has been good.
I have a pretty deep love-hate relationship with Lost (and Heroes too for that matter).
I might keep on watching, but 2010 seems abit far away. I rather it ended this season.
Did anyone else catch the Lost reference in Moai Better Blues?
Chuck talks about it in the commentary track on the DVD! Chuck and Jared Emerson Johnson are both big Lost fans, and they really went for it with that one-off line. You can hear the music switch to a track that is reminiscent of the music that plays whenever something mysterious happens towards the end of an episode in the earlier season, during that one cutscene.
I'm really excited about Season Five. I think things are really picking up from here. Last season, I think they made a lot of stuff up as they went along, and hey, I don't blame them. Writer's block is a painful thing.

Whoa, I thought last season was one of the most solid feeling of the bunch! But who knows.
I'll watch Lost till the end. But honestly? In a world with
ghosts, teleportation and time travel, writers can do pretty much anything they want without consequence. Which can dull dramatic impact significantly.
. At the end of Season 4 when
Locke was dead, I didn't really feel anything because I already know his future/past ghost will be teleported from wherever to deliver a cryptic prophecy. Woo.

He won't be dead unless they move his body back ONTO the island! So says Benny.
Also Season 4 did have some stupid episodes like
anything with Michael in it and the whole future Sun and past Jin trying to make it look like Jin is trying to reach the hospital in time for Sun's baby birth
.
Do we really need spoiler as we can assume this thread is for all Losties who already caught up to season 4?
Aw really? That was one of the best episodes of the season. I'll still watch lost for the character and exposition. It's just good film making.
The only good episodes are anything with Desmond and Penny in it. Every other characters can kiss my butt, especially the Jack, Kate, Julie love triangle.

Don't know about that. When someone dies in Lost, they don't get back that easily (unlike another show where people die and resurrect all the time *coughheroesahem*
I have a theory that the island is outside of time. Also, the show isn't only about getting off the island anymore. It's not the island that's making them lost. It's not being there that makes them lost.
Did you guys notice when they show trailers and stuff, in the letters of LOST, there's a city? Looks like New York City. Maybe that's a clue.
Forget Farraday's law. You can change it if you want. Then again, there's the other law, "history is doomed to repeat itself". Huh, I wonder what'll happen next.
Also,
when they were being shot at by flame arrows, did anyone see if anyone important was shot, or was it just some of the no-name characters? And I think Charlotte is going to die. =/
I'm not a Lost fan, but did any of you guys notice the 3 or 4 Half Life refrences? Mainly the "Why is gordon's crowbar so effective?" line (It was something like that)

Didn't notice that, but I did notice that the Hatch from Lost makes an appearance in the weapon silo at the end of HL2 Ep 2.
I had heard that the island was actually Purgatory, and that everybody was already dead.
thats not true, or else
The oceanic 6 would all be dead people,and noone would see them
but, maybe that would explaine how they found the plane (supposedly faked by widmore) under water
(Don't click that if you haven't seen all the new episodes)
after the nuke went off, one of these things might happen:
1. All the losties that got touched by Jacob, gets transported to an alternate universe where the plane never crashed on the island.
2. The losties gets transported back in time in the 18th century when the egyptians ruled the island with the temples and four toed statues
3. The losties wakes up on mars..
All these theories are fully plausible after that SICK cliffhanger. :P

Nope. Just a fan theory that refuses to die and, even several years later, is still passed off as true waaaay too often. ^^;

This has got to be one of sexiest promo shot for a TV show.
Edit: Also Juliet is way hotter than Kate.
The edge lights are hurting my mind.

Setting the end date has been a good move for them
Can't wait for next week! (But tonight Battlestar Galactica, woohoo!)
Also Season 4 did have some stupid episodes like

If Locke kills him now, then none of this cat-and-mouse between Ben and Charles Whitmore would exist!
Oh right, we can't change the past due to Farraday's Law.
Actually, don't because I only like Desmond and Penny's stories.
Also,
Didn't notice that, but I did notice that the Hatch from Lost makes an appearance in the weapon silo at the end of HL2 Ep 2.
Pretty interesting to see the episodes again, given what we learned from the season 5 finale!
Can't wait for 2010! Best show ever.

....btw, I love LOST...
I think that
1. All the losties that got touched by Jacob, gets transported to an alternate universe where the plane never crashed on the island.
2. The losties gets transported back in time in the 18th century when the egyptians ruled the island with the temples and four toed statues
3. The losties wakes up on mars..
