do you sometimes get lost when you are watching Lost

Does Lost every leave you confused? Last night I was watching and the ones on the island said it was three months or so since the wreck but the ones off the island talks about it being around 3 years at times. So I'm wondering if time on the island moves real slow when the whole time thing isn't shifting. What do you think? Maybe I misunderstood.

It can get a little complicated but I can follow it pretty well. Currently they are showing the 6 who left the island when it is 3 years after they left and switching back to the ones left behind 3 years before and showing what is happening to them right after the 6 left. The main thing that is happening is that the ones left behind are being switched between different points in time whenever one of the flashes occurs. The last flash put Jin, and prsumably all the others left behind, in the time period when the pregnant French woman and her crew were first shipwrecked on the island about 16 years before the plane crash. At some point the 6 will probably return and then the two times will be joined somehow as yet to be determined or shown to us.

Actually I think Myles has only been on the island for two weeks this time, that is the time he came with the freighter. But what Faraday probably was implying was that Myles may have been there some other time that Myles doesn't know about yet or something.

See this is the kind of thing that I'm talking about, It didn't even dawn on me that the pregnant french woman was the same one that they met a long time ago. Now I always did think that they would bring Jin's (I think that's his name) back.

Having watched since season 1, I don't find it confusing. Daniel Farraday also said that the time displacement affects some people by making them sick and sometimes killing them. It also affects their memories. Remember last night when Myles started the nosebleed and thought he had only been on the island two weeks?
As soon as I heard those people at the end speaking French, I just knew that was Rousseau!
I am definitely looking forward to next week's episode.

I tried really hard to get back into Lost this season. I started watching the 2 hour season premiere and just got totally bored and lost. I have it on DVR, so I can pick it back up where I left off. I am not sure that I want to though. I also have episodes 2 and 3. I will try once more to get into it, but if I don't, then it's over. I want to love the show, but it seems to have lost the oomph it had the first years.

to me they just got to many thing going on at once. It's hard to keep up with it, plus it stays off the air so long at a time,I guess they think people are going to remember everything that happens until they get ready to put it back on each time.

ABC did broadcast a recap type of episode before the season premiere, it was an hour designed to catch watchers up from the beginning with the highlights of what happened in the previous seasons. It was definitely worth seeing, it might be available on ABC to stream or check youtube or other sites where you could download it.

oh I get very lost...LOL, I like how they show the week before show and give you the little info bar on the bottom ...it helps, but you still are completely lost at the end of the show. I think they named it very good.. because there really couldnt be another name for it... LOL
I have seen a couple interviews with some of the characters and they said this year is going to answer alot and then next season is the last one... I hope they answer alot since we have watched this from the beginning.
