Interesting characters. Maybe not 3-dimensional yet, but at least they have history, shades of grey, and are not cardboard cutouts2. Mystery. What is happening, and why?3. Acting.  Subjective, but I think it's a very strong cast (although the dialog may not be so strong) I had no expectations going in. Something that is billed as "the best TV series ever" is doomed to disappoint.  How many episodes have you seen? My recommendation is to keep up with it to episode 4 (counting the 2-hour pilot as episodes 1 and 2). The episode title is "Walkabout" and it has a flashback for [spoiler]Locke___________[/spoiler]. If you don't like it after thinking about what's revealed in that episode, both in terms of character interaction and the mystery, then I agree you'll never like it.  I'm interested in the correlation between Lost and X-Files. Some similar faith/science interplay. And I worry they have they same basic problems: striking the right rate of disclosure. And that the eventual solution to the "puzzle" is bound to disappoint some % of the fans.  -RedShirt</blockquote>
