24 had the worst ratings of the season during the finale.

WITHOUT spoilers. ... can you tell me how you felt about the LOST finale?

I have not seen a single episode of season 5, so just say crap-awesome.

Thanks

OoO...stay far away from the Lost Season 5 tread lol. The finale was amazing...unlike 24...

it really opened a lot more questions which is good and bad since we have so many. It was very gripping. Did you not have time to watch it yet or is it all tied-up on your dvr? If you missed it all together, just watch them on abc.com. Season 5 is in close running for the best season. but it's such a good show...I'm not looking forward to the end of Lost next year.

Thanks dudes. And yea...I stay far away from the LOST thread and avoid magazines etc.

Now all I have to do is wait until December

I dont have a DVR. Dont want one. I dont watch ANY TV while it is being aired. I always wait for the Blu or DVD. I like being able to watch as much or as little as I want to in one sitting. No commercials to deal with or FF through and the PQ and AQ are better. The superior experience is worth the wait for me.

Is it actually scary? If so, I am excited.

Wow, that really is surprising!

Not trying to go too far off topic, I know people have voiced displeasure about the dramatic ending but I actually preferred it.

The noise/grain effect is on purpose and has been present since at least Season 5, but I want to say as early as Season 3. I'll have to check when I get home...

I like the effect : \

IMO 24 looks like CRAP on TV...HD or not. I expect the BD to be a hundred times better. Daytime scenes aren't bad, but night stuff just looks horendous. Partly due to my provider which has overcompression on some channels but Prison Break and other Fox shows look MUCH better.

jw · 05-20-2009, 11:07 PM

FYE has this for 49.99, not a bad price for a mall outlet

It looks great to me. Easily 4-4.5 range.

rileyparrish · 05-20-2009, 11:09 PM

Well then Prison Break or CSI Miami must make you J*** in your pants my friend.

Don't watch either of those and don't plan to. And what exactly is wrong with the picture in your opinion?

Although 24 is no where near Dexter in PQ
