First, Lost fans. Our long wait is over and the final season begins tonight (you may have heard). I'm excited as hell, so for one last hurrah here's the "Lost answers Song."
Although a nerdy novelty song, it does work as a shockingly accurate checklist of everything I want answered from the show, if only for proof that these writers knew more about where they were going than the BSG writers. At any rate, this is a great day for nerds -- don't let anyone bring you down.
Now, Lost haters -- come on. Even if you don't like Lost, it's the biggest fucking nerd show on TV. Am I not supposed to cover it? I loathe Heroes, but sometimes there's it has news. Should I not cover it? Of course not. You guys need to chill. That said, now that the premiere is finally here, I don't think there'll be much news/nerd media regarding Lost until the finale -- but yes, I'm going to cover it again then. Still, I want to offer an olive branch -- you obviously don't care about me ending the day with a Lost song, so you may enjoy this instead.
See? I wasn't joking. There's a wacky, zany, kooky nerd video for everybody. So remember: when life gives you Predators, you don't go around telling Predators they suck on internet comment threads. You make a fucking trap and drop a massive spiked log into the fucker. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Now that I respect, because you gave it a chance, decided you were sick of it, and explained why.
-
Dude. It's lost. Never apologize. Because if you do, then the smoke monster wins.

Rob, seriously, you are allowed to cover whatever you like, but don't say that you're only doing your job, hiding behind "I report news and Lost are news" because when it comes to Lost, barley any of the things you post about Lost have ANY news-value or contain anything interesting for anyone who's NOT a rabid Lost fan. When it comes to Heroes, you only report news if something confirms that Heroes suck in some way. Most of the things you post related to Lost are Fan-made trailers, real trailers, teasers, parodies, lists, songs and such, as if anything related to Lost gets a free-pass on TR. I'm sure other nerd shows have just as much going for them, what with the parodies, rabid fans and all, and all I'm saying is that some balance in regards to the entire Lostbonanza would be nice for us who don't swoon over everything Lost, ergo, not everything Lost needs to be reported on just because it's Lost ;)

Glad to see some Rhett and Link love here!

I followed Lost for like... 3 seasons, before calling it quits. Yeah, it was good, but incredibly slow-paced, while things are constantly happening. Things that more often than not will only confuse you more and muddle the plot. Things that just pile on the mystery, for episode after episode without ever giving any answers. It's just twist upon twist upon mystery upon wtf-moments upon another mystery that has something to do with a previous mystery from 10 years ago involving someone who's dead but not really because it was part of the next mystery and it just never ends. We never get any answers, it just goes on and on and God I am so annoyed about being strung along, waiting for the answers that never comes while the writers laughs; dance puppets, dance! That's why I stopped watching. If I watch, the assholes win.

Thread Win!!

I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who or Torchwood and have no desire to, doesn't mean I hate the show or think its badly written. Maybe it is or maybe it isn't. That said I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Lost and own them on DVD but unfortunatly I changed careers and haven't seen much since the finale of season 2. The bottom line here is we are on a website for nerds, as nerds we are the most passionate creatures on planet Earth, we will ravenously defend any property we claim to love and vehemently condemn anything we don't. The beauty of TR is we can come together and argue and gripe or praise anything we see here. It doesn't make either side of an argument right or wrong. Rob is throwing out the olive branch as he said and letting us know that love it or hate it he is gonna post Lost news. As mentioned before if you don't like it why troll out on the thread by spewing hate? Its a waste of time. There is a ton of stuff on this site I don't bother clicking on like anime, I just don't care about it so I leave it alone. I suggest all Lost haters follow suit.
-
Holy crap - that is 100% true. Suck it fools!
-
I'm starting to see a pattern. The people who dislike Lost so much, usually without seeing it: a.) have a grudge against J.J. Abrams because they're angry about the Star Trek movie and/or b.) react negatively against anything that's popular that they haven't gotten into.
-
You can cover Lost as you want, Rob, and I will continue to ignore its entire existence.
-
I'm a Lost virgin. Never seen the show, but have been told I should see it. I hate to form an opinion based on what other people have said. I think I've been hesitant about getting into it because of three main reasons: The first reason is my preconceived bias that it's just Gilligan's Island with more drama. The second reason is the amount of time I'd have to spend on my ass to sit through and watch this show. The last reason is that I think J.J. Abrams overrated. I may consider watching it over President's Day weekend.
-
so... I've never watched Lost beyond the first episode and have since never bothered to read about it or anything... It just didn't catch my interest I guess. Is it any good? I just see the name J.J. Abrams, think about Cloverfield, Felicity, Armageddon and the new Star Trek movie, and get the feeling I should give this one a wide berth.
-
<i> Lost </i> is "the biggest nerd show on TV"? I've never seen it. What qualifies it as a "nerd show"? I think I'm missing something...
-
I despise the existence of Lost simply because its popularity allowed that new Star Trek to be made.
-
Lost: It's like The Prisoner meets The X-Files meets The Fantastic Journey...if all those shows were written by brain-damaged apes.
-
As a wise sage once said, "Haters to the left."
-
You can see how the programme divides people, just from this comment section - I don't think I've ever seen it so angry! I will put my hands up and say I have never watched Lost, purely for the fact that it really doesn't appeal to me. Sometimes shows with hype like this just put me off, but that's just me. Lost lovers, carry on watching it, Rob, carrying on writing about it. Lost haters, it's only one more season...
-
Watched a few episodes didn't really get into it. Wouldn't say I'm a hater though. I liked Mad Men and the other stuff they show on AMC and HBO. So high tensity dramas aren't completely lost on me. I guess I would like Lost if I tried it again and once everything wraps up real good, I might. Didn't Coco tells us not to be so cynical?
-
I really enjoy Lost and I also enjoy seeing articles about Lost on Topless Robot.
-
Except... they never said anything like that. Projecting much? Honestly, I like Lost, I've seen every single episode, own the first few seasons on DVD, and can describe the background of every single main character, but this thread is pretty much Exhibit A for why people find hardcore Lost fans absolutely insufferable. Unironically going "FUCK YOU!" to people who don't like the show? Saying people who don't like Lost "don't matter"? I mean, GOOD LORD.
-
Yep, check your facts buddy.
-
You shouldn't have to apologize for loving Lost, the show rocks. I can't stand people making moronic comments about great shows like Lost, Mad Men, and the Wire. And, then get bent out of shape because someone makes fun of absolute shit like Phantom Menace. I swear these are the same morons that would be making "meh" comments to the Godfather in the 70s.
-
Neither of them have written a single episode of Lost.
-
You have to realize that Lost is written by the same bull**** munchers who wrote Byaformers and that slaggin' weak Star Trek reboot. I blame you Orci and Kurtzman. Someday,when I rule this planet,you will answer for your crimes....
-
Strange that...there are literally millions of people that were obsessed after the first episode. Are you suggesting these people are wrong for liking something you don't??
-
You know, I never met any Lost haters, not any that mattered a mention anyway.
-
Locke told Eko that he had witnessed a beautiful, very bright light when confronting the Monster. Eko himself, though, said it was not what he saw, implying that the Monster was the complete opposite.
-
Ditto, except I couldn't get past the first three episodes.
-
I just don't give a shit about this argument...
-
NO U See, I can be in middle-school too.
-
Sure. Second class of the day. Internet Toolism 101. To answer your question, I feel Lost is a very compelling character-fueled drama that also has a deep and well-thought out universe, with copious amounts of sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery. That's my opinion.
-
why don't you back up your opinion on this then? Fucking brown noser, shut the hell up, what do they teach you kids in school now, how to be a tool on the internet? What is your opinion on the matter other then saying swearing in capital letters like the little troll you are
-
the irony to that is that you're THAT GUY. Because "The guy everyone hates and is desperate for any kind of attention and only talks about himself and dismisses all opinions other than his as inferior to his own." sums up ever post you have ever made, so why don't you SHUT THE FUCK UP
-
I say bring on the Lost coverage and let the haters wail and gnash their teeth all they like.
-
I have never understood why people go out of their way to click on an article, read it, then claim to 'not care' about said article. Like if you hate it it's one thing, but to go out of your way to impress us all with your indifference seems a little silly. And to those who hate it with such a passion it reminds me of a monkey who is trying to put the right shape peg into the correct hole but gets so frustrated that he throws a tantrum at the test. It's not the tests fault he doesn't get it, it's the monkey's.
-
If you don't like Lost or don't care, try not reading the articles. This site covers such a wide variety of topics that few people are going to be interested in everything. Why should Lost articles be any different?
-
Well said Sir.
-
If you'll excuse me for a moment while I put on my Comic Book Guy pants and my Sheldon Cooper t-shirt, that first video is kind of, well, <i>wrong</i>. There are a number of questions that have already, quite obviously, been answered. "What's the significance of pressing the button every 108 minutes?" To safely discharge the electromagnetic energy that builds up under the hatch. "Who built the Lamppost station?" It's just another Dharma station, as far as we know. It's probably how they got there in the first place. "How did Jack get Locke's letter back?" Are you dense? Are you retarded? Do you know who- Er, the airline had to inspect Jack's luggage, including the coffin. They saw the letter, so they gave it back to Jack. Duh. "Why does the smoke monster look white to Locke?" Am I missing something? I don't remember it ever appearing white to anyone at all. I could be wrong. The Man In Black never took over Locke's body. He merely took on his form, like he's done with other people for the entire freakin' series. The thing about Jin is pretty dead-on, though. WTF? "Why do Widmore and Ben fight?" Again, duh. Widmore was exiled, Ben was made leader, Widmore wanted the island back, but Ben doesn't want him to have it. Thus, fight. So, basically, all their talent and wit is void. Pay attention, you ignorant fools, or don't you dare ever gaze upon the glory that is Lost. *pushes glasses back*
-
Some of those questions were answered. For instance, Jack got Locke's letter back when he checked Locke's body, and one of the airline people found the letter addressed to Jack and brought it to him. Some others are...uh....shit. Yup, lots of things to answer.
-
When giving an opinion, it is best to back that opinion up. My opinion is that you should shut the fuck up, and to back it up I would like to submit that you don't back up your statements.
-
Those people should shut the fuck up. Seriously, if you don't give a shit, don't say you don't give a shit, because if you give a shit about people knowing you don't give a shit, then you're THAT GUY. The guy everyone hates and is desperate for any kind of attention and only talks about himself and dismisses all opinions other than his as inferior to his own. In conclusion, FUCK YOU.
-
What about people who don't give a shit abotu Lost and never will? Because that's me.
-
Shouldn't you be posting on the Hannah Montana website? That might be more your speed...
-
Cover Lost or whatever YOU want. It's your site. That said LOST is the biggest load of wank in history.
-
Rob....Keep on ranch dippin'!
-
Now I want some Mentos.
-
I watched the first 5 or so episodes of Lost, then stopped. Much like The Wire and Mad Men, it is a supposed 'Best Show Ever' that I just never really got around to....
