I got my folks hooked on Fringe, and I'm trying to convince them to watch Lost now. They think it's stupid though, because they saw one episode out of context and heard the show ended badly.

I think Lost dragged on a little too long and there were things that could have been left out in order to advance the plot. But I still think it was a great series, as was Fringe.

I think Lost is a little bit better than Fringe, but it's not a HUGE gap imo

Lost by a good amount. I dont think I made it through the second season of Fringe.

i'm a little biased towards fringe but as far as being hooked lost had my constantly anticipating the next episode because I desperately wanted answers. not all the answers I got were to my liking and I didn't like the way it ended but it was a great ride.

fringe had a few lull moments but overall I feel it was a better written show and had an amazing ending. I give fringe a slight edge

I really like both shows, and was sad to see Fringe go, but this isn't even close.

LOST by a mile. I miss that show so much.

As shocking as it may seem, I've never seen a single ep of Lost...but, all of Fringe. Thinking of starting Lost up soon though, as I just finished up another show.

its hard for me to say but I would say lost.

I still have 4 episodes of fringe I haven't watched

and if more stuff like this happens I may change my mind.

I just did this with Mad Men, so I am more than prepared.

I'll admit, everything I've heard about the ending is what has held me back from ever starting this. But, I have to trust my fellow Fringie Fear on this

while I didn't like how it ended that doesn't take away the fact that the ride was amazing. jj did an excellent job at making you binge watch this show because you need answers

to be fair though jj did call the lost writers his B team and the fringe writers his A team.


eta: even got a shoutout on parks and rec

I actually prefer Alias over both. But IMO Lost is better than Fringe.

I couldn't get into alias. I tried hard but I just found myself uninterested in it and watching it became more of a chore than enjoyable for me

I watched Lost once live and would immediately watch it again for things I missed. Fringe was a chore to get through at times.

I tried to get into it, but the first episode was pretty lame imo. Maybe it's just not my thing.

JJ was hardly involved after the first few episodes. It became Carlton and Damon's baby.
