I suppose I was a little gloom and doom, and you could probably get started not at the beginning, but you'd be missing an enormous amount of information and background about everyone and what they're doing. In the same way, you could start reading the Lord of the Rings with the Two Towers, but the story would be a lot better if you started with Fellowship.
You'd also be missing one of the things that I think really sets Lost apart from other shows, which is how much it has changed and how much its scope has changed.
