Is anyone watching Lost?

It is really funny some people I know love it, others hate it. Most of the people whom hate it, find it too slow, or expected it to be more like Alias.

I personally, love it. But it is definitely not Alias. It is kind of survivor meets Robinson Crusoe, gone wild.

I am a big J.J. Abrahams fan. But I am still debating if Felicity is worth the cash in buying on DVD, although I have only seen a few episodes. Opinions?
Or dare I say, someone able to provide me with copies? (of course, I will pay for expenses.)

The polar bear and the beast thingy, the reason for these has only been hinted at. In Canada and the US, Lost is still in season 1. It's 20 episodes in and they're doing 26 this season. I assume it'll be picked up for another season. You can find any info about it at tvtome.com, just avoid the episode guide if you don't want spoilers.

All DVD players can be made to be region free. Making regional DVD's and players is actually illegal, but no one in their right mind is gonna take on Disney, Warner, etc. If you do some research on google, you can find the codes to make your player region-free.

It is region free. It is just that when I make a DVR on my dvd recorder, it won't play in some non-pioneer dvd players.

I would agree that it can move a bit faster. However, how fast paced can you make this story without having it be over and done with in 3 episodes.

What I actually like about lost, is that it is slow. Because they spend some time, slowly revealing, who the characters actually are. Nothing is what it seems.

I think my biggest disappointment with lost is. That J.J. Abrahams had to take time off Alias to do it. And with that I feel the quality of season 3 of Alias was less then the other seasons. It was very noticeable, that J.J. Abrahams had less to do with it. I even said in an interview, that he realized after season 3, as he was so busy with lost, that he made some mistakes on Alias because of it.
