It seems as though an awful lot of people who are seriously lacking in imagination got invested in Lost. I don't know how that happened.

It would seem to me that it's the exact type of show people like that shouldn't have any interest in, since the sci fi and broad metaphysical elements are a massive part of it.
I suppose it was so compelling that it lured in a lot of people whose alley it really probably wasn't up.

Even personally I noticed a lot of people interested in Lost that had never had interest in things like it before.
I think somewhere along the line people like that decided they would accept these things for a while, as long as they got concrete, by-the-numbers answers that led to the unexplainable being explained in a way that made it real.

Ultimately I don't think it was the right show for them, and never was going to be. They may not have realized it but they were watching for answers and explanation of the unknown, and not for the actual show.

It happened because for the first two seasons or so, the show was relatively "grounded". I know people who started watching it, but then stopped when it started getting really crazy and "sci fi"ish.

I mean, I had no idea this is what I was signing up for when I originally began to watch a show about a group of crash survivors on an Island, trying to cooperate with each other and escape.

You didn't know it was a smoke monster though.


"Whatevs". There is a definite shift in the series at some point or other, where it becomes more... "Fantastical".

Which has caused some people I know to stop watching.

For the record, I thought it was brilliant.
