After tonight’s episode, my mood towards Lost has gone from mild amusement to downright hostile contempt. That had to have been one of the top 3 worst episodes ever. I just don’t see the logic of introducing 2 completely throw-away characters, then killing them off in a meaningless episode. There was no advancement of the overall plot. It was completely pointless crap. If it would have been a movie, I would have asked for my money back. Now I just want 47 minutes of my life back. Actually I do see the logic of it now, to pump out more crap and keep milking the show for as long as possible.
I can just see the writer’s meeting on this one:
Writer 1: Hey guys, we don’t really have enough material for an episode this week, what to we do?
Writer 2: No problem, we’ll just make up some lame jewel thief plot and kill off Nikki and Paulo.
Writer 3: Who?
Writer 2: You know those 2 filler characters….
Writer 3: Oh ya! Duh, I forgot!
Writer 1: OK, but I can’t think of any movies we can rip off…
Writer 3: I got it! How about we do a Memento type timeline rip off, with a The Vanishing paralyzed and buried alive twist?
Writer 1: Awesome dude, let’s do it! Who wants nachos?

I just got the renewal notice for the domain whylostsucks.com this morning. It was suprising to realize that a year has passed already since I built this site. It pretty much was started as a joke and I never thought it would become what it is today. I can’t take credit for it though, it’s all the great regular posters that have made this site something cool. Thanks to all of you!
Here’s some interesting facts about the site:
First month’s unique visits: 121
This month: 11,873 (so far)
Google rank for the term “lost sucks”: 1st out of 4,230,000 results
Average spam comments posted per month: 843

Sorry for the delay guys…
So last night was the big Locke episode. Whoopee. It’s just gotten to the point on this show that unless a giant meteor strikes the island and blows up everything, it’s going to be a little underwhelming for me. I guess for season 3 standards, it was an OK show. The flashbacks actually explained something. The whole Kate longingly staring at Liberace Jack while he softly played the piano actually made me vomit a bit in my mouth. Hey Kate, how about looking over his head at the large camera, filming you. It’s not exactly a spy cam! Totally saw the dad in the room ending coming a mile away, no big surprise there. The whole cat and mouse thing between Locke and Ben was tiring. I don’t know about you, but after the shit Ben has put everyone through I wouldn’t help him into a wheelchair. I’d be more inclined to punch him in the back. Don’t even get me started on the magic box thing. I’m sure the fan sites are having a field day on that one.

Tonight was another seemingly filler episode, with nothing earthshaking happening. There were seagulls chased and another never ending trek through the jungle. I guess we found out that Claire and Jack are half brother and sister, with the same alcoholic dad. I happened to be taking a sip of Heineken (ironically) when the “I am your father” line came out and nearly snorted it out my nose. Man, that was funny.
I could have also sworn that the sonic fence scene was the exact same location as the fence scene in Jurassic Park. Thank God for Locke for being the only one actually doing things these days. He’s blowing up buildings, shoving people into sonic fences. Keep kicking ass Locke; your fellow islanders are wussies.
I guess the final scene was supposed to be the big shocker that I’m sure will light up the real fanboy websites. Is football boy Jack an “other”? The problem that I just realized is that I don’t care. The show has moved so slowly in doling out these little nuggets that they lost me. It really doesn’t matter to me if Jack is an other, a dharma dude, or the new host of the price is right. It’s just past the point where I can bring myself to care. Timing is everything in life. If the producers would have paced this show better, I really think it could have been something great, but they got caught milking their own success. I found myself wishing for another 4 month show hiatus after tonight’s episode, which is not a good sign.

This blog has clearly become larger than just one guy bitching about Lost every week. It’s become a sounding board for great discussions and commentary, and is now getting thousands of visits per week. So my question to you is – has this site outgrown it’s format? Should I convert it into a forum in order to faciliate conversation between everyone, or leave it the way it is? Please vote!

Rather than posting my take on the latest episode every week, I have enlisted the faithful readers of this blog to help out. For the next few weeks I will be asking active commenters for their impression on the latest episodes. First up is the ever present - Nico Tosconi.

Ping- pong? They decided to have an island ping- pong tourney? Riiiiiiiight… Because if I was being menaced by killer Polar Bears, evil black smoke, a purple sky & a band of murderous, child kidnapping, deranged former scientists that’s what I’d be doing. There’s no way I would be organizing hunting parties, or exploring the island, or waging war on the psychotic “others”. Nope, I’d play ping- pong! The only slightly funny moment was when the increasingly Gene Simmons haired Sawyer asked the new guy: “who the hell are you?” My sentiments exactly…
As far as the return of “Patchy” (as he’s been so lovingly named around these parts, although I prefer Boris Badinov): All I can say is Sayid sure picked a lousy time to develop feelings. If I was him I would have done things to Patchy out of shear frustration that would’ve made what he did in the past look like a tea party. I’m talking “pair of pliers and a blow torch” type shit. I figure by now the survivors must be at least as pissed off as the audience about the severe lack of information they’ve been getting recently. Well, I can’t say nothing happened this week, unfortunately what did happen sucked.

Cheech??? Wow. Just wow. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry while watching last night’s episode. They don’t even bother starting the shows with actual plot anymore, they just go right into meaningless flashbacks. We already knew Hurley was cursed, OK we get it. Did the Cheech-back do anything to further develop the story or characters? I say no. The actual “action” on the island was also meaningless. Great, they found VW bus. Whoopee! Wasn’t something big supposed to happen, according to last weeks dramatic preview? Guess I missed it again. At this point it’s clear the producers are just biding their time rolling out crap episodes to milk this cow for as long as possible.
