    Yes, but I hope it doesn't string along the plot for too many seasons like Lost did. Yeah, mysteries and intrigue are all well and good, but if you string it along too far without explaining anything, it becomes boring. Lost should've been only 3 seasons at the most -- I hope they don't make that same mistake here.

    Shows like 24 are successful year-in and year-out because their plot is completely time-boxed into 24 episodes. Sometimes that's necessary. Like in Lost, it will be necessary for Flash Forward.

    I like Lost and the pilot is similar to LOST. I will definitely keep watching this.

    Just got around to watching the pilot episode last night. Enjoyed it a whole lot. So did the fiance. We are both serious LOST fans, so I figured we would.

    And what is with all the LOST bashing in this forum? Yes, it slowed down the 2nd year and the beginning of the third, but it has been incredible since then.

    Just my opinion...

    Missed the pilot but I have last night's ready to watch. Will I be "lost" if I didn't see the pilot?

    I have trouble sitting at a computer watching a tv show on a monitor, so I probably won't be seeing the pilot unless they replay it again.

    This show is inching along. Slowly but surely it is beginning to take shape.
    I don't much care for all the Tangential relationships

    Dont care about Suicide boy
    Don't care about 'The Affair'

    Seems more a distration than anything
    These things really NEED to tie into the main plot . . . and soon

    Indeed. The main story's pretty cool. I like conspiracy plotlines, and was pretty hooked on the first few episodes because of it. But the show started sucking with all the family/relationship issues and all that crap .

    I didn't like the first few episodes much, but the past couple days I have gotten caught up and watched the last 4. I am really enjoying it now and looking forward to the next one.

    Watch all of the Lost episodes on Hulu at http://www.hulu.com/lost#show_expander

    I had two weeks off while switching jobs so I decided to start watching Lost from Season 1. I had no idea how addictive it would be and before I knew it I already caught up to Season 6 in less then a month. They have a way about ending each episode on a cliff hanger so it makes hard to stop watching from one episode to the next.

    It's tv crack rock. Enjoy.

    Definitely still watching. The show has really picked up ever since they came back from that break. I will be pretty disappointed if the show doesn't get picked up for a second season. I really like how the show is based around real/theoretical science and quantum mechanics. I find that sort of stuff really fascinating.

    I also like how the show gives you a mystery and doesn't hold the answer in its back-pocket for a long period of time (I'm looking at you, LOST). A lot of the things I would categorize as major mysteries in the first few episodes have basically been answered by now.

    Very cool plot so far. The acting isn't anything special, but it hasn't really bothered me.

    I really enjoy it, it is the closest thing to lost on tv, so I hope it stays around. But I hear there is a good chance it will be cancelled.

    Yeah I heard that as well. A shame but I don't know how this show would work for more than a couple of season anyway without getting repetitive.

    I've been enjoying it, I like how they've thrown some good curve balls, esp. the mole.
