Yes, I tend to do that with most series if I can. I wait awhile and either catch up via website episodes or rent the DVD's later. With Lost though, I purposely avoided it, thinking it was just another "Castaway" type of spin-off. Couldn't have been more wrong. Fell in love with all the characters by season 1.

The plot has so much forethought and attention put into it. I think it is a credit to the writers that in this day and age of powerful CGI and flashy special effects, it serves as a reminder of just how interesting a series can be on story alone. It doesn't need to have visual fireworks going off every 5 minutes to remain interesting.

If any of you have played the Myst titles, the whole island very much reminds me of the second one "Riven", in so many ways. It's like watching a bunch of players run through the game.
