Lost IS sci fi, but I think they did a clever thing not shouting it out from the beginning.   It preserved the mystery of what was going on.  People default looked for a 'rational' explanation, and had to eventually give in-- like the characters-- to whoah this isn't normal/natural.

 

If they'd come out of the gate blowing their sci-fi horn, then most of the mystery would've been, well, less mysterious.  Also, they got true fans rather than just people who watch every sci-fi show that comes down the pike as well as fans that might not have tuned in if it had screamed 'I AM SCI-FI!'

 

I got sucked in by the characters (aka, Jin and Locke) then got the wow, this is... yeah... my new replacement for what Season 1 Twin Peaks was to me when I was a little child.
