There was nothing in the episodes I watched (about half of the first season and several other episodes that I watched once my boyfriend discovered LOST) that made me even halfway care about any of the characters.  Some of these actors are decent actors, but  they weren’t doing a good job of being believable on this.  Melodrama overload!  I tried.  I wanted to like it (I know it might not sound like it, but I really did want to like this show). 

I work in theatre for a living.  I make my money and pay my bills by suspending disbelief, but I couldn’t buy this for a moment. 

Then, a few months ago, my boyfriend discovered LOST.  There are no words to describe how much I loathe and resent this show now.  For six weeks I essentially never saw him and hardly had a single conversation with him that wasn’t at least partially about this (blanking) show.  He’s no re-watched most of it and still spends hours of his spare time each week reading different theories about it online.  I just want my boyfriend back!  I told him recently that I’d be willing to give up anything on tv that I watch that he hates if he’d give up watching this while I’m home.  I swear, the next time I have to watch this crap he’s cut off for a week.  I know it’s a personal vendetta that I have against this show, but I didn’t like it even before he fell head over heels for it.
