As someone who watched many episodes of LOST in a single sitting every night for weeks, I can guarantee you that waiting for the next episode is not what made LOST addictive. edit: I agree though that it might kill some of the "watercooler-talk" or the "figure out the mysterious symbolism in last weeks episode" stuff. But those things are just gimmicks meant to keep you watching the show anyway. If they're releasing the whole thing at once, maybe there's no need for them to help market the show.
