Here's my take:
Standoff:
Don't have one, haven't seen it. Storyline didn't really appeal to me. Love Gina, though!
Daybreak:
Story didn't really appeal to me, either, but I did watch most of it, partially because of Adam, partially because of the Lost clips they were supposed to show during it. However, I missed those and was overall unimpressed with the show. It seems like a male version of a cross between Alias, Tru Calling and 24, and the characters just didn't pull me in. Ridiculous, contrived and boring. I probably wouldn't have been such a huge Alias fan either if it hadn't been for the powerhouse chemistry of Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber, which to me, was the whole reason to watch.
Nathan's Lost episode:
Yes, this show is somewhat ridiculous and contrived, but the characters (and the actors who play them) make it work for me. However, anyone who can choose to stay with a moderately charming/mostly asshole con artist over Captain Tightpants is NOT playing with a full deck!!!

I haven’t seen Day Break yet, I think the premise is great but I think it’s gonna get cancelled... maybe after a few episodes, maybe after the first season.

Standoff is really quite good. Give it a try, you might be surprised.

I've never seen Standoff. I watched the premier of Day Break and really enjoyed it a good deal. I'm really looking forward to watching the next ep. I don't think it will be cancelled before its 12 week run is over, and everything is supposed to be self contained within those 13 eps. If it does do well and is green-lighted for further seasons, then they'd come up with a way to add it on to the story.
Nathan was good on Lost, but Lost has been somewhat lacking this season, for me. I'm still looking forward to when the show returns, though.

Standoff just never really caught my eye. The premise just looked kinda silly and boring to me. But I might go check an episode just to see Gina.
I actually quite liked Day Break. Adam, of course, was a great bastard, but the over-all show kept me very interested and now I'm ready for next week. I hope it continues.
I am a HUGE LOST fan so watching Nathan on that was no chore and he was wonderful. I honestly think he would make a great cast member. Remember reading somewhere he was supposed to be in 2 episodes. Huh, maybe it was a misprint. I will agree that this season is starting to ware on me a bit. I expect things to move slow on this show, but it's starting to piss me off.

I'm enjoying Lost more this season than last for some reason. I guess it's the whole hatch thing, but it really started to bore me from the episode where Sun lost her wedding ring and anyone would've had to be a completely out of it to not know where she lost it. It does piss me off that they seem to insult our intelligence sometimes, but it's a plus that they apparently took a cue from Joss and have the characters occasionally comment on how ridiculous it is. Plus, Drew Goddard is on board now, so yay!

Loved Daybreak. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat. And of course, it has Adam in it, so I'm there with bells on.
Standoff really didn't draw me in that much. It'd be different if the focus was more on Gina, then I'd be more inclined to watch it.
Nathan's episode was the best of the season so far. Though I feel bad about the Captain's penchant to be drugged by unscrupulous women that are posing as his wife. And I acutally like the idea of Kate and Sawyer together. He's no Mal, but from a purely physical perspective, Sawyer doesn't exactly fall short. 
And he's certainly a lot better than Jack, self-righteous bore that he is.

I like Jack, but it just never seemed to me that Kate was as into him or he with her as we were supposed to believe. I mean, there has been bucketloads of chemistry with Kate and Sawyer, since early on, but I just never understood the Jack/Kate thing. Although, Matthew Fox is a much better actor than the other two, chemistry matters, too.

Standoff: I haven't watched it as much as I want to...I've liked what I've seen, though, and try to catch it when I can.
Daybreak: Caught the premiere, and am actually quite intrigued. There were a few twists I didn't see coming, and I like not knowing much more than the main character. I think as we see how characters react to the different events of the day each time, we'll get to know them more and more. I'm on board for the season...it makes a nice filler until Lost comes back, if nothing else!
Lost: I love this show. Came on board late, but managed to catch up by the time season 2 began, and this season has given me much to look forward to, thus far. *Loved* seeing nathan on there...he seemed to fit right in, and gave us some insight into Kate's character a little more. I don't know if it'd be necessary, or not, but it'd be awesome to see more of him on there!

Didn't Nathan just sign a deal with Fox (the traitor--just kidding)? Would they allow it? God, I hope so. But it's not as though they haven't screwed us over before.
