Lost became lost...

I know our typical beat is information security but I thought I would take a moment to discuss something a little more personal. I have lost interest in…Lost. My love affair with Lost started when a previous girlfriend bought me a video iPod for my birthday. There wasn’t much on iTunes yet in the way of video content so I bought the first season of Lost. I was hooked. After learning about the black smoke, the hatch, people suddenly walking and what not I couldn’t wait for season 3 after watching season 1 and 2 in a few weeks. Season 3 started late then took a long hiatus. This made me mad. I am tired of these network execs suddenly deciding to spread shows out as much as possible to maximize advertising revenue. After returning home from RSA iTunes was waiting for me with the first new episode in a long time. I watched it and the spark was gone. I suddenly didn’t care about the characters anymore; I had gotten over it all. I have had similar feelings for the Sopranos. From now on I think I’ll just wait for the season to be done then download them all.

I agree. The show is slowly loosing it's appeal. Season 1 was great, Season 2 was good. There are less puzzles to solve now, its getting boring.

I feel like its a joke that the creators want to see how long you will keep watching with no answers...
