How did you choose your username? it speaks for itself, but as you can see it has a typo, good way to start right?

What brought you over to FanForum? Found this site when was searching for news about Lost, I thought it was well organized and decided to register.

Any comments about so far? Still early to tell.

Anything else you would like to add: Let´s see, I think the main goal in this kind os forums is to create some sort of friendship with other users and to have discussions about the different shows at least that´s what I´m expecting.
Another thing since english is not my main language forgive me for some gramatical mistakes.

***Chris*** · 06-16-2009, 03:33 PM

Kate - sorry about that. Thanks for getting it updated.

André - welcome!

I´ll copy my introdution on the Lost thread (without the name and location)

Fave Lost characters: Ben, Sayid, Sawyer, Locke, Charlie, Claire. (and more)

Fave Lost couples: Charlie & Claire gotta love them, they´re perfect

Why do you love Lost: I love the way that JJ Abrams solve the "confusions" that sometimes happen during the show. I´ll try to explain better, many times during the show you end up thinking how will they explain this in a coherent way, well, later on you end up seeing that everything matches perfectly the show is really well concebed. The actors are also very good that is another success factor.

Fave Lost moment: I loved the episode the constant, for me it was probably the best episode so far but there are a lot of other excelent episodes as well.
This I can´t say that is my favourite but is certainly the most emocional for me so far, when Charlie died, I can say that I´m not a guy who´s very emotional but I´m 23 and watch Tv series since I can remember and I only cried (more dropped a tear) 2 times. The 1st one was in ER when DR Green died and the 2nd on Lost when the same thing happened to Charlie, Not penny´s boat

How did you get hooked on Lost?: I guess since the 1st episode, I remember to think, when the 1st adds appeared on Tv, that this serie had potencial I followed the 1st season on TV and the way the season ended it was impossible to let it go any more.

**- Tina -** · 06-19-2009, 08:33 AM
