As of right now Lost and 24 are my two favorite television shows, yet they are so different. I have come to realize that one of the reasons why I love 24 so much is the structure of the show. I really appreciate how 24 is so structured. They film the whole series before they air the first episode to make sure that it is aired continuously without missing a Monday night. Each episode is an hour of real time which guarantees accuracy and precision.
Lost has a completely different structure which lets them do basically whatever they want. At any point the writers can add in whatever missing pieces to the story they want. There are no limits. All of a sudden time can just go back to 1977 and no one will really question it. Characters can just disappear and people won't even remember. Yet hopefully soon these questions will be answered.

I definitely know what you are talking about, and sometimes LOST can become confusing because of its lack of structure. Yet, they each have their own great qualities. (Secretly I know you love 24 more though haha) But LOST had the BEST episode on last Wednesday that answered SO many questions. ... Don't kill me but I still haven't seen the last four 24 episodes! Andrew & I have A LOT of catching up to do!! xoxo
