  • New Film Dimension thought the premiere wasn’t so bad but was expecting more from it.
  • EW’s Jeff Jensen is feverish and blown away.

And here are more interesting stories and interviews to check out from last week’s Lost frenzy:

About Watching Lost

LOST - a television show that fascinates and captivates fans week after week. No show has ever prompted me to discuss it, theorize about it, question it, obsess over it, and write about it until now. That's what this site, Watching Lost, is all about. If you're like me and love LOST, then this is the place for you. Every weekday, I will bring you news, theories, spoilers, recaps, and general discussions about the show, the characters, and the actors. I am by no means a Lost expert, but I love the show, and I love trying to figure out what the heck is going on! We're all in this together, so please use the comment sections to keep discussions alive. Remember, live together, die alone. Enjoy!
