Law and order – Lost style

I thought the most ironic quote of the show was when Ben tells Locke,  “here we are again in the same place and you are more lost than ever”.  That pretty much sums up the show, as well as all of us as viewers after 4 seasons.  But this episode was all about Kate – and her lack of any semblance of intelligent thought or action.  It took her all of 5 seconds to do exactly what the Bruce Lee guy wanted her to do.  Oh you want to go see Ben so you can tell me something about myself?  Sure, let’s go.  I don’t know about you, but I could think of a lot better answers to get out of the dude than, who am I?  The soap operatic love triangle angle is pretty much unbearable at this point.  The final clincher with the baby was pretty much telegraphed with the clothesline scene.   Just more mid-season filler.  Overall a pretty sloppy episode that I give a 7 out of 10 on the new suck-o-meter.  (10 being the worst episode ever, 1 being some of the decent season 1 episodes)

A new Lost low

You know kids, I am really at a loss for words at this point.  Tonight’s episode has proven this show is so far off the map that it’s just laughable.  The show has about 150 major loose ends and unresolved plot themes, yet what do they do?  Hey, how about introducing 4 new characters!!!! YEAH!  Then flashbacks for all of them! Woohoo! Let’s just keep dropping people on the island right up until the final episode. Sounds like a great plan to me.  I’m done. I don’t think I can take 6 more episodes of this.  Oh and one more thing. Enough with the shooting people then having them live!  What’s the point?  To kill time?  First Locke gets shot, but he’s ok.  Passed right on through, good thing there’s no kidney there (wink, wink).  Then the new rescuer chick is shot.  Lucky she had that bullet proof vest! (nudge, nudge).  It’s really pathetic episode filler.

New season, same Lost

From the first 5 seconds I knew we were screwed this season.  Hurley’s car crashing through a fruit stand?  I was sure the next scene would be the 2 guys carrying the plate glass window across the street. Not only were we screwed by that, but now we go directly into flash forwards.  As if the flash backs for the last 3 years didn’t suck enough.  Hey here’s an idea, let’s find out what’s actually happening now. 

It’s amazing how fast the show settled back into its’ previous vices.  Various parties of people trekking through the jungle to nowhere, people that die but don’t really die, bad dialogue, long stares, shaky camera work.  And of course NOTHING HAPPENING.  I really thought with this compressed 8 episode season things were going to start really rocking.  Guess I was wrong again.   And no, they aren’t going to get me to watch some new gay TV series by promising a fake Oceanic commercial.
