Polar bears were brought to the Island by the DHARMA Initiative, who kept them in cages at the Hydra station, on Hydra Island. (The World of the Others) According to Pierre Chang, because polar bears possess keen memory and adaptability instincts, they were prime candidates for studies in electromagnetic research.

I liked Lost. Unfortunately they never had a plan and the last season was shite. They just weren't Sci-fi writters and were out of their depth. However the reality of the thing is it's about the characters and they were good.
Comparing it to the HBO shows is pointless. It was on NBC on a week night,so for a far more commerical audience than those HBO shows that aren't on network tele.
Obviously Game of Thrones is in a league of it's own in terms of tele. Ray Donnavan is really good and one people haven't mentioned. Dexter and Billions are good too.

I'd regularly sack of uni classes to sit at home and watch each episode as it dropped US time. Guys who haven't seen this should defo take a look.
Still early days, il stick with it.
Woosh?

Nah, there was a random polar bear showed up on the island in one episode and then wasn't mentioned for a while. I stopped watching the program shortly afterwards... but that always puzzled me
Not only was it was answered clearly in the show, but it's also been answered twice in this thread.
This is what I mean about people saying all sorts went unexplained. Some things were unexplained, though I can't think of any off the top of my head. But whenever someone suggests something it usually turns out to be something that was explained perfectly well.

Eh? That was a reply to my question. Like watching an episode of lost this... you've got me bloody baffled marra
Shit, I've just realised it was a reply to you.
But then you went and asked the same question again!?

Concor with the consensus on Lost. Intriguing idea but the writers were taking the absolute piss after they got the green light to stretch it over six ‘seasons’. I think it was @not spavin who called it “clever telly for thick people”!
One reason might have been that they stopped using Mike’s photo memory as a plot device, but the spectre of him not being a proper lawyer was constantly hovering for years. Just take the friggin bar exam already and get it over with man.
The USA channel has had some great light-hearted shows in recent years - White Collar, Burn Notice, Suits, the one with Sara Sahara as a lawyer, the one with Piper Peekaboo as a CIA agent, the one about the boutique doctor in the Hamptons (Royal Pains?), the one about the lady psychiatrist and the NFL player (Necessary Roughness?) ... I don’t think they have any self-made shows going at the moment. (Is Suits still going?) which is too bad. All I see on that channel are reruns of SVU and NCIS!
@ the OP if you like The Sopranos give Ray Donavan a shout. It’s similar - moody miserable main guy, insufferable whining wife, pathetic kids, violence and intrigue. The next season starts on Sunday.
But the best show on the telly is True Detective series one. (The director is doing the next Bond. Plus there’s a new series coming out which unlike series 2 had the original writer involved.)
I liked it when it first started but it just sorta drifted out of my desire to continue watching it.Suits is awesome.
