count yourself lucky that you've not been drawn into it, I wish I hadn't started watching it but now I NEED to find out what happens!!!
I couldn't possibly go into detail as to what it's about as it'd take too long but basically a plane crashed on an island, survivors encountered several strange things one being a polar bear!! Another group of people called 'the others' are also on the island, they're bad people (or are they?!?!) miracles also happen on the island, a paralysed guy can now walk, a woman with terminal cancer is apparently now healthy!! It's all very strange and it just goes on and on with no answers in sight!!
I won't even go into 'the hatch' and 'the button' either get the DVDs and try and figure it out or read all the episode guides online!! My advice though, if you can, keep away from it, yes it's good for debating all theories and things but the programme seriously messes with your head!!
