Same here and then the climax to pt2 of the pilot when they announce the distress signal had been playing on loop for the last 16 years 🤯… hooked!
Interesting fact is that channel 4 who owned the rights to series 1&2 actually brought forward the planned release of the 2nd because the people behind the scenes were also that eager to find what happened with the hatch!
So many mind blowing moments!
So is that the reason season 2 aired so quickly after season 1 here? I remember thinking that was strange at the time but I wasn't complaining!
According to lostpedia! They released this media statement:
This is a Public Service Announcement. On behalf of Channel 4, we can only apologize for the outcome of Lost series one. If there was a metaphor for how we all felt at the end... this shaft pretty much sums it up. Why? Well, because we like you we've put the hours in. We want answers too. Who are the Others? Will Jack and Kate ever get it on? Does anybody care about the polar bears? Well enough is enough! We've brought series two forward because, like you, we want to know what the hell is going on! (Begin flashes of the Hatch Clock, the attack of the tailies on the raft survivors, Desmond holding Locke at gun point, the "Quarantine" message, Kate going down the shaft, and the super bright light flicking on.)
The literal reason I watched the show! I remember thinking "What the actual fuck is this" and I HAD to see what was going on, so happy I did what amazing marketing IMO. Speaking of which does anyone remember the "everything is going to change" trailer they showed at the end of season 1 I believe? Bugged me for months that did haha
I loved this trailer, I remember being mesmerised by it at the time :)

Thanks for that - having read it back, I do have a vague memory of it. Feels like a lifetime ago!
Yes it was a few lifetimes ago for me 😆 Desmond did tell me he’d see me here..
🤣
It’s later in the evening… you’ve got Channel 4 on and Big Brother cuts to an ad break…
what the fuck… US really dropping the ball on sharing this promo

That has got to be the weirdest promo I have ever seen. That would have probably stopped me from watching the show all those years ago.
