    no, to me, it's clear that they are in purgatory (sp?) the show is about redemption and everyone gets a chance to "start over."

    I think a lot of people have grown tired of the show b/c of the lack of plot...but i think it's a really interesting idea....and i usually hate tv shows, including 24...which is funny, since this is a 24 thread.

    I remember reading an interview with the Lost creators/writers in which they specificially stated the characters were not dead, and were not in purgatory.

    I may have read the same thing...but it's where I'm at now. It's fun to speculate. I also heard just yesterday that they will be ending the show soon..maybe a five season show...which I actually like b/c I don't want it to turn into something assinine like the x-files did.

    The main point is...is that I think the show is so addictive b/c it deals with character development as opposed to plot development. I like that.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    I agree. The show, IMO, has really been good the last 2 seasons. Didn't Kiefer sign on for a couple more years? I'm pretty sure he did.
    I just hope after this year they mix it up a bit. A new location with maybe a darker, less action-type appeal might be good for the show.

    That is the most popular show in my freaking department. I've always hated TV dramas...I used to love X-files until the main characters left...definately jumped the shark. ER - waste of my time...only hospital show I like is Scrubs...and it's a damned good show. The office is definately my favorite comedy since seinfeld though.

    in academia...in political science....the West wing is the preverbial sacred cow. I'm trying to get them more focused onto nugent's reality show...but it's not going so well.

    lol Are you serious? Academia? Are you an idiot or just trying to change the world?

    Be careful which answer you choose.

    by the very fact you post here, we all know you'd have given the same answer :)

    and seriously, there is nothing wrong with trying to change the world!
