How did you find out about Lost? - Lost Community Forums - Official Spoiler-free Lost Fansite

I don't know how my brain thinks of these quesions but it does

So yeah how did you come about Lost really? [I'm curious]

I was on holiday and in my mum's magazine there was an article about Lost and it looked really cool. I remember going downstairs and asking my mum if she'd read it and I was going to watch it when it came on and my Mum and Grandma said they would. We watched the first few epsiodes then my mum gave up and my Grandma thought it was too scary

Who knew that I'd become so obsessed with it?

Funnily enough I stumbled across an article today pre-Lost airing which was strange to read. I shall post it later.

To answer your question, the Channel 4 adverts intrigued me and the rest is History. It was lucky that I happened to be in the house and that I was watching Channel 4 that day as I dread to think what would have happened had I NOT watched it from the start. I was watching something on C4 right before Lost aired and decided to give it a chance.

(as Jeremy Bentham might say ) Terrible things would have happened

@ MEP: I cannot remember how I came about Lost. One day I just woke up and I was a Lost fan. It is quite strange actually..it's almost as if I was always destined to be a Lost fan.

Anyone catch the ad for this new show called Found? Strange name, huh! It has a bunch of people dancing around on a beach to some strange music. Channel 4 are really upping their game as this one looks great

If that was any else I wouldn't believe them but seeing as it's you Roco you probably did

Terrible, terrible things indeed. Though I fear I may have ignored it altogether had I not seen the Pilot.

I think you are right actually. Well I like Big Brother so definitely not much of a secret there T.W.

I was watching a show on channel 4 and a commerciel came on for it and it had some cute guys on it, so I decided to watch it. (And it looked like an awsome show)

KatesFate · 07-04-2008, 05:32 AM

I saw previews for the Pilot episode on ABC and couldnt wait to see it. I started watching in the very beginning and by the end of that first hour there was no turning back for me. I was hooked. The following year, my hubby got me vanity plates for my car proclaiming me as a Lostie! Enough said.

Mrs Sawyer · 07-04-2008, 10:05 AM

I saw the adverts for it on channel 4.

***firebreathingfishies*** · 07-04-2008, 10:19 AM

I saw the adverts on channel four and thought 'oh great, another American show full of beautiful people with the stereotypical funny fat guy' and I watched the pilot and was

, and then I watched the pilot pt 2 and I was

And thus was hooked ever since
