Land of the 4 toed giants!
So the big season finale came and went. As predicted some things were explained, but not fully, and more questions were left. How long do they think they can drag this thing out? Some of the things that happened were almost laughable. When the giant 4 toed foot statue was discovered, I though “this has to be their attempt at humor. But then I realized that’s one of the big problems with the show is that it takes itself too seriously. When shows do that, eventually they become a mockery of themselves. Another funny part was when Desmond followed the other hatch dude and found his sailboat. The amateurish CGI of the boat in the cove looked like something out of a 70’s sci-fi show! Not to mention the psychedelic sky effect when the hatch blew up. Oh man, it was painful to watch almost. The big cliffhanger at the end wasn’t even really that big. As soon as the guy reached for the yellow phone, everyone knew they were calling Desmond’s rich girlfriend. The whole “you can find anyone when you have money like I do” pretty much gave that one away.
A couple of obvious predictions for next season:
Of course Walt will turn the boat around and go back to help his friends. John will miraculously survive the hatch meltdown. Our beloved trio will escape the others with the help of Rambo Sayid. That’s about all I can think of for now. Yeah, a summer without Lost!

I thought it was a good episode overall. I agree with a few of your points though.
i love the way that you have all this stuff dedicated to lost, but yet watch all the episodes. I used to hate it, but they have got better in the 2nd series, stuff has started happening, and they have learent what a plot telling device is as well as learining how to script dialogue.
It’s really great how you % ” the show and watch it anyway.
Loser. Lost is the best show on television, you just have to be intelligent to understand it. I guess you just don’t fit that bill.
So you hate Lost and yet watch every episode? And also spend time commenting on them?
Wow. You know how to live. Maybe you should sort of…not watch it? It’s easily done. You turn the television off and go outside.
fABULOuS!
To I You,
If you like Lost so much, how did you find this website?
And please explain to all of us, without plagiarizing, why you have to be intelligent to understand this show.
Cheers.
Tyler is RIGHT ON!! This show is absolutely painful to watch anymore. The only reason my wife and I still even watch it is all the time invested into the characters watching Lost in Seasons 1 and 2.
The problem with Lost is the same problem with any other show like this. They try to drag out a story that can be told in 1-2 seasons out into 5+ seasons.
All this dragging out stuff worked in Season 1 because it was all new. Now, it’s just old and worn. I barely care for the characters at all. When we found out that Charlie could die because of Desmond’s preminition…I’m like…”so what?”
Kill Jack off too…I don’t really care.
If the producers decided to end it this season and wrap up the storyline, all the remaining episodes would likely be quality, entertaining chapters. But alas…they’ve gotta drag out this turd for X more seasons.

bumped to say of course Locke survived. As for your other predictions, it didn’t quite work out that way. Does the show get points for not being as obvious as you claim it is?
