Lost - Up in smoke
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.

You are so correct…this ep was awful! No advancement of the plot and we know that Alex is the French lady’s daughter.
Ugh
What a jip. They are trying to piss us off. That’s the only explanation that makes sense.
Wow. You people really listen to this nerd who sits on his ass at the computer all day to make wise-crack remarks about one of the top-watched shows in America?
You should all get some small Cult going on and go die from rat poison because this site is more ridiculous than porn.
If you want to have a life, send a review to Entertainment Weekly, go use the money to buy yourself a house, and then get a job.
Seeing that this article was just written today, I’d say you worked on this all night and day and posted it so your little group of gay-jays who think your funny could read it.

fuck you Meatnormous. just cause its one of the topwatched shows in america doesnt mean anything.
probably if yust a cupple of guys says that lost sucks its because millions of americans are just blind.
the 3rd serie of lost sucks and thats clear.
eat shit meatnormous
Porn is NOT ridiculous!!! Your mom worked very hard doing all those movies o put you through school.
She wants you to call her. She says you never cal anymore, at least that’s what I think she’s saying because she’s biting the pillow so hard it’s hard to understand her.
The black guy in the room thought she said “use the meatnormous drill” but who knows. The fact that her teeth are missing doesn’t help either.
Buy your mom some teeth… wait nevermind, don’t.

Ah, I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone from the “your stupid” crowd to post. I wonder, do people write comments like that with a deliberate sense of irony?
so good you should post it 3 times…or 4…or more!

Hey look he can copy and paste.
Just like the LOST writer.
Way to go little buddy.
hahhahahaahah
hahahahahaha
LOL!!
Oh goody, I get the first post- this’ll really piss off Big Jim!
First I’ll really rub everybody the wrong way & tell you what I liked: the humor. Lost has been lacking it lately, what with all those grim faced “others”. I missed the funny Hurley & the wise cracking Sawyer (as opposed to the morbid Hurley & beat-down Sawyer), so it was nice to see them again.
Now for what I didn’t like: everything else. Cheech was a piss poor casting choice for Hurley’s dad, simply because he’s in everything. Most annoying of all though is the fact that for another week the plot stood still. Advancing the plot is the single most important part of a good TV show or movie. The flashbacks actually used to help advance the plot, now they just get in the way. I mean the single most important moment of the episode was when Locke & Sayid talk about the “compass” on Eko’s grave. That moment is just glossed over in 3 seconds flat, so we can get to that stupid French b**ch again… It’s obvious there is some kind of fragmentation of time/space on the Island because for another week time stood still…
“It’s obvious there is some kind of fragmentation of time/space on the Island because for another week time stood still… ”
funny.
I agree, good to get away from the mopey Others. and the characters (hurley, sawyer) returned to form. problem I had is that their form no longer amuses me. they haven’t evolved, kim speaks enlish like george takei, and sawyer worries about his stuff like a frickin’ 2 year old - of course, he takes time to teach english to mr. sulu and give everyone their cutesy nickname du semaine.
Well, to say I’m grasping at straws is an understatement. I fully realize this… I also realize the straws are getting harder & harder to come by.
great now we know hurleys pops is a stoner .Does everybody on this island have daddy issues ? dharma beer? are they for real?whats next Sawyer opens a bar where he trades anything useful for a beer, or hurley sellz car rides with a new catch phrase “cash , ass or grass nobody rides for free”. why did they aim the van for that small patch of rocks would’nt it be safer to point in a differnt direction or pop the clutch earlier? why did they only drive in circles? all in all its a better episode and bigger mystery to me why Hurleys pops is cheech than jacks tattoos. now pass me a dharma brew.
I agree about the van! Even if they couldn’t start it - why would they drive right towards the rocks!? Can’t you still steer away from them? And why wait until the last possible second to start it? And where the hell are they gonna get gas now that they have the van running? And the flashbacks no longer mean anything. Honestly, if you took the entire season so far and only took everything that was relevant to the plot, well, you STILL wouldn’t have a complete episode. I HATE MYSELF FOR WATCHING LOST!
ha! hilarious!
Like Patentman said… we knew Alex was the french chick’s daughter like five seasons ago… but what I don’t get is how Russo didn’t know about Alex. It’s obvious Russo’s been around the island a lot. And it’s obvious she’s been in contact with the others a lot, if only just watching them. So how did she never see Alex among them?
And boy that bitch is sure a terrible shot. Every time she tries to shoot intruders into her “personal area” she completely misses. I bet once she’s got one of the non-main characters in her sights she’ll be dead on.
theres alot of stuff that dosent add up .like when ben asks jack if he belives in god .he said he did because when he found out about the tumor jack fell from the sky. but when jack said hed have more faith if they had a surgeon ,and ben says that ethan was a surgeon agood one. then why need jack to fall from the sky ? how is that a test of faith ? if they never came ethan would be alive right ? i must be missing something sorry 4 mistakes
How about Sawyer teaching Jin English? “No, that dress no make you look fat.” Wow… that’s funny. You know, cuz women always think they’re fat. What a funny and original observation! Thanks, Lost writers!
Also, why did the asian reporter have an almost identical name to “Asian Reporter Trisha Takanawa” from The Family Guy? Was that a reference, or were they just too lazy to come up with their own name? Oh, and the comet/meteor/whatever hitting the store? I don’t even know what to say about that. Stupid.
Can someone please tell me why the hell I keep watching this show?!
Must be that brain tumor…
Yeah, the meteor was ridiculous & the asian reporter’s name is literally one syllable away from the one on Family Guy.
“Was that a reference, or were they just too lazy to come up with their own name”
they’ve ripped off a lot of material from other sources. I wasn’t surprised by this.
Yeah, the Asian reporter was dumb.
These writers have no originality. They steal, and not even remotely industriously.
I actually thought this episode was funny and a good watch, because it didn’t take itself seriously. At least, not totally; at one point I turned off the sound so I didn’t have to see the slow-motion “Kate looks at Sawyer, Sawyer looks at Kate, Kate looks dramaaaaaaaaatic” crap, or the one-string violin thing they do to “add drama.” It’s getting really old.
Rousseau is the worst.shot.ever. the smoke monster should have eaten her years ago.
Plot has ceased to become a point. It’s all just a joke now. When I saw the Dharma Initiative symbol on the damn VW bus, I realized even the costume, design, and set people are having a big joke on all of us.
And the uber-retarded drama of “waiiiiiiit for it, waiiiiiiiiit for it” to pop the clutch was just, well, really stupid. I mean, did ANYONE think they wouldn’t get the car started??
Jin is apparently the professor and like, a fucking VW Engineer btw.
another useless episode as ever…. after 3 season, i didn’t know Hurley was cursed, thanks Lost producers for hammering that point in again. what the hell was the point of anything that happened in this episode?!?! wasn’t there supposed to be some big thing that we were all gonna be talking about? and unless theres some hidden gas station on the island, what the hell was the point of getting the van started? what the hell was the point of even throwing the van into the story? bullshit bullshit bullshit!
Well here is my take:
1) I have always said (go back to my old posts) that people who still enjoy lost and want to fix it have low IQs. They become defensive just like hill-jack parents do when you try and tell them that they aren’t good guardians. Low IQ=overly defensive. THUS, Nico has a low IQ. For one he still likes the show and is waaaaaaaay to insulted by my comments. Secondly, he claims to have the first post when his was the third.
2) The show sucked. Get it?
Actually those of us who know how to tell time can see it’s actually the second. I’m just not as fast a typist as the person above me. By the way, I’m not the one who went on the attack BJ, that was you. I was simply trying to ask you what you could possibly have to say about a show you (by your own admission) no longer even watch for purposes of amusing yourself at it’s “suckiness”. Yeah, the episode sucked- however it’s hard to form an argument when you have no knowledge of why it sucked because you didn’t watch it. How ’bout this BJ- lets just agree to disagree, k?
A meteor? Are you effin’ kidding me? That was possibly the lamest thing I’ve ever seen. If that is not lazy writing…
And yes, who is so stupid that they needed it explicitly pointed out that Alex was Russo’s mysteriously lost daughter?
And how the heck does a VW van that’s been rotting in the jungle for who knows how long have any chance of starting? I leave gas in my lawnmower over the winter and it turns to turpentine and won’t start. I continually do maintenance on my truck and it still let’s me down occasionally.
And I actually thought at first that they called her “Asian Reporter Trisha Takanawa”. Almost laughed my butt off.
Awful, Awful, Awful…I could go on forever.
To echo Ross - why do I keep watchng this awful show
yeah and its probably a dharma meteor too . whats next they find a dharma plane filled with dharma vodka push it off a cliff and hope it starts ? even if it did they still wouldnt fly off the island they would use it to rescue jack or something equally as stupid
ha! again, you slay me!
though, dharma vodka’s only good with dharma tonic and dharma olives.
…and little dharma umbrellas for the tropical drinks.
I agree with Tyler that the network appears to be more interested in milking the Lost cash cow than providing quality entertainment. It’s unfortunate that they don’t realize that the two need not be mutually exclusive. I think the writing started to fall apart a little before the episode when they killed off Eko, arguably the most fascinating and cathartic character on the show (don’t mind Aussie guy either). Much has been made about the fact that the actor playing Eko asked to be killed off for personal reasons but I have to wonder if he might have been more interested to continue if the plotline had been somewhat more compelling and challenging for an actor of his caliber. And who the f%$#@!! were those two idiots who decided to come along on that fatal excursion with John, Sawyer, Sayeed and Eko. I could not BElieve that they were attempting to introduce new characters to the plot THAT late in the game. Fortunately, these two have since returned to obscurity where they belong. Yet another indication that the writers of Lost simply wing it and do not know themselves how they will resolve the countless mysteries and discrepencies in the storyline, which is probably decided by committee in a boardroom. And I really don’t mind that the writers have been making it up as they go along but clearly they themselves have become lost and appear to have forgotten what made the show so gripping to begin with. Perhaps it is impossible to maintain that kind of intensity indefinitely. But this show really had me hooked even during the declining second season. I was incredibly pissed and disappointed by Eko’s ridiculous death by nebulous fog creature, but the Jack-Kate-Sawyer prison camp ordeal had kept me sufficiently interested that I kept coming back for more. HOWEVER, last night’s episode was deplorable! It was SOOOO fantastically bad. I consider myself very very selective about what I watch on TV. I watch about two hours of TV a week. So those two hours better be damn well worth it. Last night’s episode was truly putrid TV with the possible exception of a couple of amusing wise cracks from Sawyer (”well look who’s hooked on phonics” — vintage Sawyer). But… Cheech?! Are you kidding me?! Hurley throwing a temper tantrum when long lost daddy Cheech shows up in his life?! Sawyer giving English lessons to “Korean man”?! The boys spinning around the grass in a VW?! You’ve got to be kidding me? How does this advance the plot? What does this add to character development? How does this begin to answer any of the many lingering questions? I give Lost two more episodes (okay maybe three more) to turn things around and then that’s it for me. And stop trashing the French chick. Everyone must admit that historically, all of the episodes that she has been in have at least been pretty interesting. Maybe there is hope yet to turn this increasingly rancid turkey around.
that about sums it up .
I recommend you replace your Lost hour with Heroes.
Eko, arguably the most fascinating and cathartic character on the show (don’t mind Aussie guy either).
Um, Desmond? He’s Scottish. If you don’t even know that, I can see why you are not very happy with LOST. heh.
Cheech… pick-eeeee. Well, suck my drumstick. Desmond’s accent is a little fuzzy, o-kay?! The guy was born in Peru, after all.
I would share in the pain with y’all, but I forgot the show was even on last night. I guess that pretty much says it all for me.
as for sawyer being back to his usual self…
what the heck what that sappy slo-mo montage at the end?
sawyer ‘lost in love’ watching the other happy couples…wow! horrible.
thoughts running through his head:
s1/niff…sniff…I’m really a sensitive guy (i.e. metrosexual, SNAG)
2/this rough facade hides a scared little boy who just wants to be loved. LOVE ME DAMMIT!
3/why does everyone hate me? they just a bunch of no good playa haters jealous on my beautiful hair!
4/would that dress make me look fat?
“sawyer ‘lost in love’ watching the other happy couples…wow! horrible.”
Wow. I almost threw up just *reading* that. I think I would have thrown a bowling ball through my television set if I had to actually witness it. And I don’t even OWN a bowling ball. I would have had to go out and get one. But it would have been worth it.
wow, first week as a lost quitter and i don’t think i’m that disappointed. i still plan to check in to see if the episode would have been worth seeing. i’ve committed myself to not risking the chance of wasting time by watching w/o knowing if it’s going to suck. from what i’ve heard, both here and from friends, my decision has been a pretty good one. plus i got to watch the md v. duke game!!! GO TERPS!!!
is it really worth watching lame episodes even if they do have a true solution in the end? it’s like any sport, you can’t just bring it all at the end of the game, you need consistency and solid performance. if you don’t you’ll slip and it may be too late. it’s definitely too late for me.
sure sure, character comedy and light heartedness is ok, but i think most people could do away with that. bringing it at this time doesn’t help the other disappointments.
i’m one step further in forgetting the show.
I think we all are. I just keep wondering exactly what it will take before it’s not even watching to bitch about it… I know, the polar bear unzips itself (turning out to be a plush suit) & out pops Libby… Yeah, that’d do it…
You would still watch, and you would still hate yourself for watching.
Mmmm… I dunno’, I almost gave up after the fish biscuits. So dumb…
If you have an abandoned van (stuffed with beer and a corpse) on a hot jungle island the following is likely to happen:
1) The axles will seize up
2) Everything that can rust will rust (engine included)
3) The tires will loose there air pressure
4) The battery will go flat
5) The beer will go bad (I defy anyone to drink beer left in the sun for several years)
6) Previously mentioned corpse will decompose all over the front seat leaving a fine mess and a wonderful smell
7) I’m not precisely sure what happens to fuel if you leave it for several years but I’m sure its not of the good
… and there saying they got the van started with out any tools, I mean WTF
Plot holes for the van:
1) The keys were found in Rogers hand, what the hell made him drive to the middle of nowhere switch off the van, hold the keys in his hands and promptly die?
2) Why would Dharma bother to buy a vw van and then replace its badge with a Dharma one, I mean why?
3) Who the hell would bring a vw van to an island with no roads as a method of getting around. Haven’t they heard of jeeps or four by fours what was there backup vehicle a reliant robin!
4) When they went down that hill the beer was in the van, no way in hell Sawyer lets the beer go on a kamikaze run with the fat man and the hobbit
5) Hurley is shown as having an interest in fixing vehicles (thank you flashbacks) yet he still runs out of the jungle saying he’s found a car. Surely he should have said he found a VAN!
6) They pull a decomposing corpse out of the van and only the head falls of, no way it would fall to pieces.
That said there was some good:
1) That meteor was fu*king hilarious
2) Was I the only one turned on to see Kate drenched in sweat wondering through the jungle at the start (reminded me of the time she was breaking into a sweat in that dress whilst breaking rocks) … hmmm excuse me for a minute………………………………………………. ahh done, hey don’t you judge me I’m just trying to get some enjoyment out of this show.
3) Finally an episode with a plot element okay it was just 5 seconds long and asking the French woman for help raiding the others camp, but it is the first piece of movement plot wise all season
“The keys were found in Rogers hand, what the hell made him drive to the middle of nowhere switch off the van, hold the keys in his hands and promptly die?”
ha!!!! excellent…I thought the same thing!
I just thought the hand looked like the beef jerkey I was eating while watching the show…
ROFLMAO!
Next week on Lost: the secret you’ve all been waiting for! HOW ROGER DIED!! and the answers you’ve been looking for! DID THEY USE AN ARC WELDER OR AN ACETYLENE TORCH TO PUT ON THE DHARMA HOOD ORNAMENT.
They’re not even *trying* to write for plot anymore. They’re just trying to milk your attachment to certain characters. I love Hurley, mainly because he’s a character you give a shit about, but if I see another episode about those stupid numbers, I am going to put a meteor through my TV.
As Lost starts to Tank in the ratings, ABC will step up the violence; you’ll see it will be WAR WITH THE OTHERS. lots of gun firing and random extras getting shot with (yet again) no plot exposition.
btw, I can already tell you I hate the Sheriff. She is going to be extra special annoying on screen and her character just adds to the pretentiousness of this entire series. You want to increase the appeal of the show ABC? 1. Pick which genre you are for christ sake. Either you are scifi or fantasy or mindfuck. 2. kill off the annoying characters: bye bye no-expression doctor woman, bye bye random Alex’s boyfriend 3. Have a point. You could write the show for 2 years if you actually chose a framework for the show.
One more thing. How BIG is this fucking island? They’ve been on it for 3-actual-people-years, and they STILL haven’t walked around it or sailed around it? It’s just another indication the writers have NO IDEA where they are going. They don’t want to close off themselves to any possibilities (like an airstrip on the island, or a city, or an underground dwarf palace, or some such shit) so they keep the distances really really vague.
Actually, according to the story they’ve only been on the island for a few months. Still ample time to discover a dwarf palace though… Or maybe the lair of the Jockey’s (sorry, blatant Simpson’s reference)? Or perhaps the underpants gnomes (sorry, now on to South Park)?
Hey man, you just aren’t getting it! The “magic bus” has mystical quailites instilled in it by “healing properties” of the island. Just like the island plopped down Hurley’s insane friend Dave to prevent a depressed Hurley from offing himself, the island also planted the bus just for Hurley so he could “find some hope dude.” That bus was not running on fuel, it was running on magical, mystery polar bear juice!
What I want to find out is, if the Island has mystical healing properties, why is hot Shannon dead? Boone, I can accept, getting ripped to pieces for no reason. people getting shot, scraped, cut, drowned, I can deal with those temporary suspensions of Island healing power. SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE.
I refuse to watch this show. But was the VW van yellow? Next thing ya now, Steve Carell’s gonna show up.
nice reference…
no carell, but there was a dead body (though not in the ‘trunk’, no telling whether it was a herione OD).
At least it had humor, no? I did laugh really hard once, when Hurley’s mom pinches the ears on her solid gold Jesus! That was pretty funny. Also when she said their personal chefs are a family from Bennigans- that was funny as well. The point of the meteor was to point out the absurdity of his infintessimal bad luck- he’s cursed by the cosmos, the universe. Sometimes it’s too easy to knit-pick, and that is why I like the succinctness of Tyler’s lead post as opposed to most others.
They really didn’t have to go into his past on this one, but it does show that maybe Charlie isn’t as doomed as the drunken Scot made him out to be. They brought the “new” good looking couple back for a scene, don’t know what for. It’s clear their camp is aimless now, the returned captives of Sawyer and Kate were not even debriefed or questioned, you would think Sayid would have them buried in sand to their necks in order to extract info.
Sawyer will go after Kate, that is clear. Sawyer is a fraud, some people still don’t understand this (then they wonder why there are so many flashbacks). He took a pseudonym and is perpetually sorry for himself and is not “tough” at all. He’s gotten his ass beat by too many people. He’s a charlatan and everyone knows that. Why so surprised that he is in love? Knit-picking this show is like knit-picking Heroes, Twilight Zone, or Star Trek, you’ve accepted the irrational and can never go back.
They went from a formula of plot driving to flashback episodes to 2-3 episodes of flashbacks to plot forwarding. I’m not all too eager to get back to the “others”, they killed any intrigue I had in them. Oh well!
not surprised he’s in love, just not consistent with the character they’d developed early on (and that most people liked…for better or worse).
as for picking nits, I think they’ve broken the deal. that being the deal that exists b/w television/movies and the audience. that being we suspend disbelief for just a little while, and you (tv/movies) entertain us. I just find LOST’s expectations for the audience (i.e. to NOT nitpick) has become laughable.
it’s bordering on a mockery of a sham…not quite…but almost…
Yes, the whole expectation that as an audience we weren’t going to rebel is beyond ridiculous. You can only tell somebody to be patient & then insult their intelligence so many times.
it’s “nit” picking — like picking the baby lice out of a gorilla’s hair.
Wow. You people really listen to this nerd who sits on his ass at the computer all day to make wise-crack remarks about one of the top-watched shows in America?

what’s amazing is that you’re doing the EXACT same thing, only it is worse. the thing is, we sought to find other people who feel what we feel - that LOST is a show that had amazing potential and it has gone down the tubes. since we all feel this way, we are a support group of sorts; we feel each other’s pain and vent our (common) frustration. what you are - someone who went out of his way to find people who have a different opinion than your own, and you took the time to bash them. you tell me, which is sadder?
agreed, but if we ever start OT threads and pretend to drink coffee together…

It looks like I can spam only 1 every 15 seconds.. I better slow down, Cowboy!
now you’re posting the same post over and over again! think of what you’re doing - this is WAY sadder than us sharing each other’s common view!
he’s a flammer, ignore him
Yeah, don’t be hatin’ Meatnormous. Clearly the purpose of a blog is “Lost” on your meagre intellect. Sitting here in my Sawyer-pelt slippers, Lost PJs and aluminum foil hat, I feel such a sense of proud kinship with my Lost peeps. We all just regular folk sharin’ our grief over the evaporating ideal that once was and providing support for our recovering Lost apostates. YOU’RE more ridiculous than porn (what does that even mean?!). Go spread your venom elsewhere beeatch and suck my drumstick.
Dude, go jack off at The Fuselage and leave us in our mourning for the death of a once-good show. Again…irony. Calling people losers while posting excessive spam messages? Doesn’t exactly scream “winner,” Corky.
“Corky”
Emily you rule.
half of me want’s to defile your character…seriously…defecate on your face…but the other half of me is well aware of the fact that your sorry @$$ is trying to brag to someone (that isn’t even intrested in what you have to say)…about how you posted a comment on a page that you “are’nt” intrested in & someone actually responded to it. you are the reason baby’s cry. i only wish that the other people out there reading this were the ONLY one’s smiling about it…& not your stankin @$$.
i wasn’t sure how to spell deushe bag before…but now i know…it’s meatnormous…the meatnormus is silent.
to bad letters typed on a keyboard can’t break bones…jusayin
“you are the reason babies cry”
That is just too funny. Everybody in the office is looking at me like I’m crazy because I started laughing so hard I almost fell of my chair.
“If you want to have a life, send a review to Entertainment Weekly, go use the money to buy yourself a house…”
??? pretty low standard of living for meatnormous.
What a looser this guy is, clearly a lost fan who can’t take criticism of the show. Notice he doesn’t refute anything just passes back insults, basically he can’t justify the show so he uses insults to try and make himself feel better. Also with a handle like meatnormous do you think he’s trying to over compensate for certain deficiency in his anatomy?
Meatnormous if you want to disprove us do so, but spamming and poor insults only make you seem like an idiot.
well, as long as he’s not slagging off polar bears….then i’ll get pissed…
Meatnormous is the epitome of people who are rabid Lost fans! Instead of saying, “yeah, why *don’t* they wrap up any of the plot points they start?” they just cover their solid gold jesus ears and scream “LOST IS BRILLIANT AND PERFECT! BRILLIANT AND PERFECTTT!!!” And then they fling their poo at you just like the monkeys they are.
I remember when there was a great show on ABC named “LOST”. It had mystery, intrigue, suspense, a bit of horror….
Now it has become a drudgery of soap opera themes and pointless filler dialogue. Last week’s episode (Stranger in a Strange Land - 2/21/07) and this week’s Hurley flash-back episode showed in remarkable detail how incredibly derailed LOST has become from the aspects of the show that made it such a phenomenon in its first season.
Instead of being afraid of an unknown force lurking in the dark, we are now supposed to fear a ferret-faced weenie with a spinal tumor and a middle-aged white lady who can read Chinese.
Instead of conversations that build toward solving the island’s mysteries, we get conversations about reasons to apologize and kids renaming constellations. (”You have a back yard?” Ugh.)
We have a love-quadrilateral now between Sawyer-Kate-Jack-Juliet. As if the “tension” amongst the first three hasn’t been dragged out long enough. Is this LOST or Fantasy Island? I know the “Skater” and “Jacket” fans eat this drek up but the rest of us have to stifle the rise of bile.
I could go on, but why bother?
The producers are rapidly running out of time to re-engage their audience after that disaster of a 3 month hiatus and the idiotic move to 10 PM. They’ve done everything they possibly could have done to mess this show up. I invite them to re-watch Season 1 and 2 (fast-forward through Anna Lucia’s scenes) and get a clue. Or get a new audience.
Now that’s better. Eloquently put RobbyLove. Your post epitomizes what this site is all about. Keep it coming and let’s not waste any more lubricant on detractors like Meatnormous. There is indeed a crisis on the horizon. I’m not merely talking about the prospect of increasingly rancid Lost episodes (although this is bad enough) but has anyone considered that the show might actually be heading towards gasp… cancellation. Of course, there are a number of ABC mediocrities that have withstood the test of time but there may come a day when those greedy ABC execs decide it’s time to pull the plug if the numbers no longer add up. What then, brothers and sisters!? What then?! Is the show now hopeless beyond redemption? Can they, as RobbyLove suggests, re-engage the audience? I want to be re-engaged. I will happily submit to re-engagement. I am prepared to undergo re-engagement. We all want to be re-engaged. Please re-engage me. plllllease…
I’m afraid it is too late. The show has gone too far off the rails to get back on track. The writers and producers were obviously making things up from the very beginning and there is no solution to the mysteries that could possibly satisfy after the waste of season two and three. Honesly, the smoke monster is no longer scary. The Others went from being zombie / psycho kids wandering the woods to modern day pirate / hillbilles to sci-geeks with book clubs and backyards. Nothing can save this show. Boy am I glad I stopped watching in season 2.
stop watching this show if u don tlike it. i dont go watch 24 and complain about it cuz its stupid to me.
lost is best show ever, you americans are impatient fools and really know how to make a person mad
no wonder the whole world hates u guys
right…
such sweet irony. and ‘the whole world hates us’ was just priceless…
ha! now THAT’S funny…the whole world hates us. good stuff.
I love how LOST defenders find their way to a ‘whylostsucks’ site, then complain about the complainers. sad thing is, that’s more entertaining than the show itself.
2nd that!
honestly 2nd season would have been good if they actually gave us something at the end. it’s like an extended tease. honestly i don’t get what is enjoyable about this last season.
but you know what, the name of the game (whether the show has truly failed or is as “good” as ever) is patience. this debate will continue until the season ends. but if the producers keep up the trend of season 3 i dare anyone to commit to season 4.
I don’t know. I kind of want to “tlike it” with a
TV show. It sounds positively illegal.
Yes, Yes, Yes…I enjoy being able to come on here and vent about how bad the show has become but it has become an equally huge joy to come on here and read all the Lost kool-aid drinkers call us “poopy-heads” in a manner totally consistent with the intellect that we all clearly lack since we don’t have the ability to grasp the intricate brainteaser that is Lost.
and I have to agree, the “that’s why the world hates u guys” was AWESOME!!
Oh…my…God…
Yep, THAT is why the world hates us. Our inability to be patient with TV shows. It’s not the oil gluttony, or war mongering… It’s all about Lost.
Yeah, that’s why every country in the world is knocking at your door to get in, and not ours.
Oh wait…
I got that mixed up, no one wants into your country.
