Locke’s Acid Trip
Well this episode brought us back to the rest of the lost crowd. All in all, this had to be one of the least eventful episodes ever. Locke takes a drug fueled sauna break, then goes and pulls Echo from a cave. That’s a wrap. Roll credits. Oh, and we also found out that even though the hatch blew up leaving a giant crater in the ground, miraculously no one was killed. Naked perhaps, but not killed. Through the magic of flashbacks, we learned what a freak Locke’s character really is. Who knew he was a pot growing, commune living, cop shooting dude? I thought the hallucination sequence was a little over the top, seeing a shirtless John being wheel through an airport. It felt like I was watching a Pink Floyd video with some of the effects. It’s all too much for me to handle.

This is a great web page.
It makes wathching ‘Lost’ worth the commercial filled hour.
My favorite part was of this episode was watching Locke and the polar bear play tug-of-war with Echo. Not only did Locke win, but he also sent the (what appeared to be rabid) polar bear scurrying with fear using only a torch and a can of hairspray.
Can’t wait til next week!
What a great episode last night! Ecko gets dragged half way around the island by a polar bear, yet when he is finally rescused his pants aren’t even torn. And even more astonishing, the giant polar bear (who in the past has appeared to be as large as trees) lives in a cave where Locke bearly (no pun intended) fit through the entrance. Whoah. Holy Crap. Comic-book TV at its finest! I looked around some Lost message boards today and I could not believe some of the things that I read: “greatest episode,” “amazing,” “couldn’t believe the Locke plot twist,” etc, etc. I can’t wait untill these people wake up and realize they have been had. They said Seinfeld was the “show about nothing.” Lost is really the show about nothing. My god, nothing ever happens! Yet freaks on the net guess and guess, and post and post. Its not pre-planned folks! See last night’s continuity for reasons why. Ohh, and yeah, when you have a season-ending cliff-hanger (i.e. the people in the air plane looking for the island) you should address it at the beginning of the next season. Thats why its a cliff-hanger. We are in ep 3 and no mention. No doubt they will mention it in ep 6 before their 3 month hiatus.
YOU RULE! I just finished watching the first three eps of this season (tivo-ed of course to save me from the massive amounts of commercials) and I can’t believe this SH#T! I too googled LOST SUCKS and found your site, after I was so MAD that those writers can PULL THIS SH#T ! GIVE US A BREAK ABC !
We really need to start some kind of massive e-mail or other thing to make ABC or the WRITERS hear our pain. Maybe we could make all of the PRODUCTS LOST that are advertised on the show and then they would listen…
Maybe someone could make and post a list of all of those products that are LOST TO ALL OF US…HMMM………
I, too, googled Lost Sucks. Thought I was the only one. KEEP IT UP.
so, i hope you guys realize you are not being able to disguise how much you really like LOST. If you think the show is so terrible, why do you chronicle every show and how anxious you are to get some answers, how about just stop watching. I mean, I hate Gilmore Girls, but i don’t blog about every detail of the show like a little girl, I just don’t watch it.
This is really just a closet LOST fan website. Some of the posters here are TiVo’ing or purchasing episodes of LOST, when was the last time I recorded or bought a show i hated. oh yeah, never.
Plus, the posts are just weak. I love LOST and i could write better arguments for its deficiencies. Example: all the complaining about commercials, obviously it has the same amount of commercials as any other primetime show (about 18 minutes, which is ridiculous I admit, but standard nevertheless), yet people on this page are apparently in agony watching these commercials as if they just now started watching TV. Maybe it’s because you love the show so much, and can’t wait to feast your eyes on more LOST entertainment, that the commercials are just too much to get through.
Advice: just admit you love it, or stop watching, because you are not fooling anyone.
Amen, brother.
To n dsmay,
I am just waiting for the moment that the world figures out the show blows and the ratings tank out. I want to be there to tell them, “hey, I told you bastards this was going to happen 2 years ago.” The show is horrible. I have admitted that I liked the first season. Now I just watch because it is like those car crashes you see on tv. Just cant get enough of a good thing going incredibly bad…yet won’t admit it.
P.S. I hope you post again on the day you realize the show sucks.
God I hate Lost. This episode finally pushed me over the edge How long was echo in the clutches oif the evil polar bear? It seemed a pretty long time, it would take a polar bear about 1/10th of a second to rip your head off with one fell swoop. But NOOOOO it was an “other” polar bear. “They aren’t killers, you are Lenny.”
To BigJim,
Listen, I somewhat understand your frustration with the show. But in the interest of full disclosure, let me tell you my experience with watching LOST. First, my wife and I don’t have TV (we have a television, but no service, not even rabbit ears) because the programming is so dismal. I mean, you basically had to choose between pathetic reality shows, MTV crap, or hospital shows. So we just called it quits, and signed up for Netflix to get movies and documentaries, one of the best decisions we’ve made. Then someone told us about LOST, so we decided to put that on our Netflix queue. We started watching season 1 while season 2 was finishing up on TV. And we thought it was the best TV we had probably ever seen. Now keep in mind, we watched it in full DVD widescreen glory, no commercials, and when possible four episodes at a time. It was by far the best TV show I’d ever seen (not saying much). Now we are all caught up, and last night we watched it on TV for the first time (at a friends house), and it was a little disappointing watching LOST interspersed with commercials, poor picture quality and not widescreen. In fact, i’m not watching any more episodes on TV. I’ll either wait for DVD to come out, or buy them on iTunes.
Now I agree, there were some lame episodes in season 2, and that I wish i new the answers to some questions. But just because of that I’m going to go from loving it to spokesmen for whylostsucks.com. I don’t think so. It is still one of the best shows in years, I’m not going to blame the writers for TV’s poor quality and commercials. Imagine watching a movie you really like on crappy TV, with commercials every 15 minutes, it would drive you nuts, but would you blame the writers and director of the movie for this experience?
To those who say nothing happens:
let’s see, at the end of season 1 we had heard references to “the others” but had no idea who they were or if they even existed, and knew there was a hatch. By the end of season 2, we now know that the hatch is one of many from the DHARMA initiative, there was a man living in the hatch the whole time, who caused the plane to crash, by pressing a button that prevented something weird to happen, the others live in a “normal” community on the island and are doing strange experiments, the people on the tail end of the plane survived, walt was captured by one of the others with a fake beard, and on and on and on. so what part of this is nothing happening. nothing happening would be they just keep looking for food and running from the monster, and trying to get off the island.
To those who had a problem with Eko and the polar bear:
Since when has any been expecting this show to be realistic. “the cave was to narrow for the bear to fit”, “Eko’s clothes would have been ripped by the bear teeth”, “it would take the polar bear 1/10th of a second to rip your head off”, etc. Are you serious. Your talking about a POLAR bear on a tropical island, holding an ex-killer turned priest, who crashed in an airplane, because a button wasn’t pushed after 108 minutes, by a man who can predict the future, and you are aggravated that the cave was to narrow for the bear to fit. That’s great.
To those who think they make it up as they go:
Wow, you give way too much credit to the writers. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to do that. They may want you to think they are making it up as they go, but the truth is they have it all planned out (just watch the DVD commentary), they just make up the details as they go. You think they were just like , “hey in this episode, lets have them find a hatch”, then at the beginning of season 2 , “hey, i know what we should do, let’s say there was a guy in the hatch the whole time, and he turned that light on when Locke was knocking, and he didn’t pressed a button that made the plane crash. yeah, let’s go with that. well figure the rest out later.”
just go to http://www.lostpedia.com and you can see how preplanned this show actually is.
Dear mr./mrs. n dismay….
Lost sucks, and you do too! That is all…
To Dee:
Ouch. That really hurt…
But seriously, next time you should try to attack the arguments not the person stating them.
I’m not trying to sling mud, just voicing a counter opinion. You should try the same.
To N dsmay,
Well, I called off of work so that I would have enough time to read your message.
All I can say is…Lost sucks. You summed up everything that we have learned over the past two seasons in your one paragraph. You did a good job. And…you proved my point. You summed up 50 episodes of television in 1 paragraph. 50!
And how can you say the writers are NOT making it up. First off, they add their commentary to the DVDs after the season is over, so it is easy to sound like you had planned it out. Second, the writers have admitted that they only planned for Henry Gale (aka Ben) to be on the show for 3 eps last season. Now we find out in last nights ep (10/25/06) that the entire reason the others have been trying to capture Jack et.al is because Henry Gale has a tumor! What? Think about it.
You seem like a nice person. But wake up. Lost Sucks…all openned ended mystery shows do. They become cult like. Either you go along and bow to the producers or people blast you. Go over to the tv.com boards and see what happens whenever anyone makes honest critiques against the show. I posted one, and phrased things very nicely. I received a TOS violation from the moderator for “trying to incite anger” Bullshit!
To BigJim,
Well i won’t try to convince you that LOST doesn’t suck, but just to be fair, I didn’t exactly sum up 50 episodes in i paragraph, I just highlighted some of the major events that stood out to me in 1 paragraph. Virtually anything could be deconstructed into 1 paragraph, and this doesn’t reflect at all on the complexity of the actual events. But all that is beside the point, what is interesting to me is that this site exists and is sustained by people who are watching every episode and blogging about it, while there is a slew of much worse shows on TV that aren’t getting this attention. It seems to be slightly paradoxical. There must be something in the show that still appeals to you all.
Haven’t been to tv.com yet, but i think LOST does deserve some critique, but i still think it is one of the best shows.
I googled “Lost Sucks” and found this site. After being a great fan of Season 1, I have been incredibly disappointed with Seasons 2 and 3. Big Jim…I endorse your views. This site allows viewers to vent their frustration…and it is welcome!
The pacing of the show is abominable. How many pointless flashbacks must the audience endure. The Tailies were introduced in Season 2—diminishing time for characters that compelled so many viewers in Season 1. The characters of Ana Lucia and Bernard were boring, horrible, and without interest IMO. All the Tailies have now met their demise–making every second of their back stories rather meaningless. By writing the characters of Locke, Charlie, Hurley, Claire, and Sayid to a virtual standstill, I now have no affinity or empathy with what might befall them. They’ve hardly appeared for the past two seasons, beyond a token line or two. It has been so disappointing.
Thank God for ‘24′.
n dismay…
point taken. perhaps the “lost sucks” terminology is being taken too literally. I loved the show in season I, couldn’t get enough. season II was…OK. had some really good highs, a few lows, but overll a good even if uneven season.
season III has been…well…not even erratic. it’s just been lame. so as a fan, I can only say I once cared about LOST b/c it was really good….I still care b/c I generally thought the concept was original and well done. but it’s become a mockery of itself. if you never give your audience a payoff to the numerous mysteries and questions, they eventually stop caring.
for now, the LOST producers/writers, etc. don’t care that we all think it sucks…b/c we’re still watching. once we become apathetic??? well….then that means something.
to that end, the show’s ratings have continued to dwindle. and given the complexity of the plot and number of characters, etc., getting new viewers isn’t likely. so perhaps they’d better try to keep the ones they have.
