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.

stagnation. beautiful stagnation. my eyes glaze over in front of my tv just for you oh my sweet lost. where will you leave me next week?
I’m square in the middle of commercial break #2. I am truly amazed that the writers of this show are so arrogant that they think they can make the first 15 minutes of a season premiere this absent of anything passing as plot…even for Lost this is amazing.
don’t tell me you think you’re actually gonna meet the rescuers this episode. you’ve only been waiting 8 months. i think you can wait longer. how much you wanna bet we won’t meet em next episode either?
Right, especially when they showed the scene of them talking to the rescuers for THIS episode. Same tricks, different season.
I in no way expected for the rescuers to show up but even Lost has demonstrated an ability in the past to shove just enough of a little something into a 15 minute segment, whether it be a season finale, a return from hiatus, whatever, to make it seem like they are trying to humor us.
Right now I’m sitting at 8:48 meaning 1 more segment and so far this episode has amounted to a typical midseason 3 filler episode.
Like I said, even for Lost, this is pretty amazing out of a season premiere.
Jack: “I’m thinking about growing a beard”
OH MY GOD!!! That is BRILLIANT writing…do you see what they did there? Do you see how they tied this flash-forward with the one from the finale? You know, the one where he had a beard? Did you get that? See how they did that? OMG that is effing brilliant
i thought he should have said “this flash forward comes before the one shown at the end of last season.” the beard comment was just way too elusive.
ha! funny.
maybe someday they’ll do flashbacks again where jack is 12 and says “I think I’ll become a doctor someday”
Well, I really wished I would have posted this last night. I slammed back a six back of Molson Ice before I started to watch the premiere of Lost. I had a lot of completely innapropriate things to post about how shitty the episode was, but now im sobered up and am less fired up. I actually missed the first 5 minutes because I forgot the show was even on. Funny part was when I turned my TV on at 9:06 Lost was allready at a commercial! I chuckled to myself, same shit…different season.
It pains me to say that I am a shell of my former self when it comes to hating Lost. I could go on a tirade about Jack being gay as fuck, the writing being complete shit, kate really starting to look old, and even add something about Hillary Clinton’s Penis…like the good old days. Problem is, I just don’t have it in me. I have gone from hating this show to actually feeling bad for it. I mean, does the show know it sucks? How can the cast and crew take themselves serious at this point. That premiere was pure crap. Sure, the die hards will talk about all the “tie-ins” and all that fucking bullshit, but lets be honest…those dumbass tie-ins are the only thing keeping this show around. It has nothing that could be considered a true plot. And by plot I mean here the traditional definition of plot, not the sophmoric crap that JJ produces. He is so unoriginal in his neo-entertainment originality that I feel bad for all the low IQers who fall for his shit.
I have said for awhile now that it is impossible for anyone who has self-respect to be sucked in by JJ’s crap. He made up the premise, didn’t develop it, was dumbfounded when the show was actually picked up, made up a second season that was for all intents and purposes throw-away, and then started to actually try and develop a plot of sorts during season 3. If you can think back to those times you were suckered in during season one by the tie-ins (that never went anywhere) you would feel ashamed to look in the mirror when you get excited by one of JJ’s crapy tie-ins from season 4.
*uck JJ Abrams
*uck you if you like Lost
Go read the Declaration of Independence and realize you are shit.
well, *uck you, you self-opinionated arrogant bastard. At least repsect that different people like different things. You wanna know why the lost fans shove their opinons down your throat? It’s because, given half a chance, you’d shove your opinions down theirs. In fact, you’re doing in right now, and it really does make you look laughable y’now that?
Don’t like it? Don’t watch it. But then, I don’t suppose you’ve got anything better to do, because, if you did, you’d be out doing something worthwhile, rather than watching an hour of something you depsise just to go and complain about it on the internet.
*sigh* what a sad, sad existance…
And no, I’m not a big fan of this show, but at least I can accept that other people are, and I at least have the mind capacity to respect their opinions.
Oh, and I’m with Steve on this one…
this is why lost sucks. he’s on his own turf; therefore, it’s not exactly shoving his opinion down fans’ throats. and welcome.
Wow. Some guy is packin’ some pretty heavy heat. Please don’t spare our feelings, CreamofSomeYunGuy, tell us what you REALLY think. Cheech… Took me a while to appreciate BigJim’s particular brand of humour but his posts are always entertaining and I would defend his…. er… “poetic” license or anyone else’s to the death. So back off Nancy.
This is definitely the ‘Age of Hypocrisy’. You think you’re bringing some nugget of brilliance to the table by saying “Don’t like it? Don’t watch it”. Don’t like people complaining about Lost on a site called WHYLOSTSUCKS.COM? DON’T VISIT THE SITE. Your time wasted on this site would be better served by going to your local community college and signing up for a Logic course to learn how to present a rational opinion.
“I am a shell of my former self when it comes to hating Lost…”
agreed. I found myself watching and not caring enough to notice all the holes/vices/tricks/etc that others have pointed out.
maybe they should take 9 months off b/w each episode.
This episode one again had the indie movie crutch of the plot advancing by onlu by miscommunication or lack of coomunication amongst the charachters. The scene where hurly, desmond etc meet with jack and the rest is tottaly unrealistic, they do not attempt to use any logic or explanation besides a bizzare reference to charlie to explain why they think the freighter is bad.
This is a well-stated observation. While this trick is by no means new to Lost (no one has actually communicated clearly with each other for 3 years), it WAS on full display last night.
Besides being mystical, the dialogue was just so forced, strained, unbelievable.
But, what should I expect, (to roughly allude to Dennis Miller) they’re not exactly doing Ibsen on there.
I wouldn’t say the lack of communication/miscommunication is limited to only some episodes; it’s the driving force behind the whole show, not to mention countless other shows and movies. They’re stranded on an island but yet are somehow too busy to ask questions or have discussions about what’s going on. Stranded on an island life is too busy I guess.
Every single situation that happened on this show would be followed by a character telling another, “alright look, listen to me very carefully here is what the fuck is going on and what just happened, it is essential that everyone understands, please ask any any questions if you don’t understand,” or something like that. Asdlkfjal;skdj.
Let’s focus on what we learned.
1. Lost still sucks
2. Six people got off the island (Jack, Kate, Hurley, ???)
3. They’re denying there were any other survivors
4. Charlie got a haircut and cleaned up to be a ghost
5. We’ll have to wait 4 more episodes to learn more crap that they won’t ever answer
6. Apparently the other survivors are either on the island still or were horrifically killed
7. Going with Jack or Locke was not a guarantee of getting off the island
8. Lost still sucks.
SSDS. I can’t believe I was actually duped into thinking I would learn something. Come on JT, you have to admit this was a waste of 60 minutes.
lol, i was think ssds too. we’ll know nothing. they’ll be in basically the same place for another 6 episodes
Well, I waited and watched and I have to admit I am in the minority. I thought the epi was actually pretty good. Not perfect, but good. One thing I was surprised about… I expected a waaaaaaaaaay bigger splash for Hurley’s cannon ball.
What did you think JT?
Mrs. Meister
OK, let’s say that everyone else is still on the Island — so what happens if/when Jack comes back? Are they gonna fall down at his feet at his second coming? Won’t they be totally pissed that he sold them out? Why should they trust him? Whether Jack is the self-appointed leader of this motley crew or whether he’s some cocky hot-shot surgeon, or whether he’s some strung-out loser, Jack needs to get over his own whiney little self already.
Here is an idea…stop watching. I seriously don’t understand why people sit down, watch a tv show they know they don’t like, then go onto the internet and talk about how ‘bad’ it was. Some of you may have watched the show since it started and just be disappointed with certain episodes, but most of you actually watch it for the sake of complaining. Its pathetic
I’m not saying I don’t get why you don’t enjoy the show, im saying I don’t get why you spend your time watching something you clearly don’t enjoy.
I do expect a load of comments which make false stereotypical views against fans of the show, but you know what, I wont care, because I know there not true.
Dude, you don’t get it. The most fun part of LOST is ripping on this show! If you think this site is lame, the FUSELAGE is even more lame — a bunch of sycophantic JJ Abrams fanboys that spend most of each workday wishing each other a “Happy Appy Day” and telling each how they get all gooey in the shorts over each week’s “best eppy ever!” So anyway, you go get your own kicks from LOST and let us get ours.
my parents have stayed married for 32 years for the sake of complaining. it just works sometimes.
Well for me, i watch this show in the hope that it will return to it’s former greatness… which has still not happened. This first episode was easily the worst opener and one of the worst episodes all together. And… i’d like you to get me some flapjacks please
If your dissapointed with every episode why bother to watch? Just find another show that you actually like.
By the way “Lost” in fact, not my opinion is actually one of the best shows ever to be on tv period.
I guess we could say the same about you. If you’re so annoyed by people bagging the show, why are you on WHYLOSTSUCKS.COM?
Your so right these people are pathetic. They watch a show for 4 years even though they hate it? These guys (well probably half guy) really need lifes.
Actually, I am all woman, thank you very much. And we don’t need “lifes” because we already have lives, but thanks for your concern. By the way, what are YOU doing here?
Mrs. Meister
Some of us invested time in watching the show for a number of years and now feel like we’re getting jerked around. We are like-minded individuals sharing our opinions about our disappointment in the progress of the show. As i’ve said to other ‘fans’ who post comments on here trying to belittle our opinions in our own forum, why are you on a site called WHYLOSTSUCKS.COM? Your posting in a hostile environment is the epitome of pathetic.
Here’s another idea. Stop posting comments in a site that you know is hostile to your opinion. Go to ABC.COM and post comments about how much you love this show. Looks like you’re the pathetic one, eh?
I can say with pride that I spent last night getting trashed with friends in New York.
I am free from Lost. FREE FREE FREE. i’m cured i’m cured I’m cured.
Now that said, I don’t understand why fans of Lost come to this site and bash on former fans of the show that now hate it.
And, you guys didnt actually think something was going to happen right? I’m guessing the next trick up JJ’s tentacle is some kind of show reboot where we see the Lostaways in the future TRYING TO FIND THE ISLAND. They won’t explain why they need to find it, or get back, of course.
i wanna see the flash forward where the cast gets laid off cause the writers need their money
Outstanding
youre free from it but you come to a site about it to announce this? if you were really free you wouldnt waste time reading the critical / sarcastic nonsense on here and would have stayed drunk (drunk or watching TV – whats the difference?).
You were the one that raised your hand to tell the teacher she forgot to assign homework, weren’t you?
Mrs.Meister
Consider me the Harriet fucking Tubman of Lost, you retard.
I don’t even comprehend what this dude is even talking about, but I don’t like. I don’t like it one bit. It appears that we are having to purge this site from the likes of DMG at the beginning of every season. Such a drag.
Fuck!
You really need a life if you make a website just to show why you hate lost
I guess the Lost fanboys just don’t want to admit they’ve spent dozens of hours watching something that’s stupid. If they have invested their precious time in it then by God it has to be something good – no, great – because otherwise they may not be as smart as they think they are. So even though they can see the emperor’s wang waggling, they can’t say so because they need so badly for him to be wearing those beautiful clothes they’ve been raving about. Reminds me of the Star Trek fanboys who still think Shatner was a great actor on that show. Talk about needing a life…
Yes you do need a life. It’s pathetic how much some people waste their life like you. I mean come on you have to admit that is downright pathetic making a whole entire website on how you hate a show. I mean what kind of life do you have? “OOOH I’M GOING TO GO WATCH A SHOW ABOUT HOOKERS AND STRIPPERS,YAY!”,pathetic. Sad,sad,sad sad,sad
A: I didn’t make the site; I come here twice a week for maybe 30 minutes total. Plenty of time for a life. B: Show me where I said anything about watching a show about hookers and strippers. C: Pay more attention in English class; it’ll help you fool people into thinking you’re intelligent for a few seconds longer. D: There are still a lot of suckers born every minute. E: Speaking of which, little J.J. is getting lonely.
WOW! That’s sad you go on this crappy site for 30 minutes a day,two days a week. I don’t even stay on the computer for more than 10 minutes.
Really? On Feb. 4 you had posts at 19:13, 19:15, 19:18 and 19:27. You must’ve turned the computer off between each one, huh? Or maybe you’ve got an official JJ Abrams time machine/pencil sharpener in your pocket. As Dean Wormer might say, lying, dumb, and loving Lost is no way to go through life, son.
So what’s your point exactly? That he was on the computer for 14 minutes instead of the 10 he claimed? If that’s your point, then I’m sorry but that wasn’t even worth you wasting the energy to type it. Very lame.
Why don’t you make a website to show why you hate people that make websites to show they hate lost.
You really need a life if you are a creamy pants fanboy who seeks out sites such as this to post this crap on it. Read the FAQ dipshit and take your lostfan967 call sign back to the fuselage or dharmasecrets.
Get a life freak.
I’m a transportation officer (Captain) in the US Army. I’ve served my country for over 20 years and have fought in 2 wars. What do you do, live with mommy and daddy and play with computer games? I think you’re the one who needs to get a life.
I have been married for almost 12 years, I have 2 wonderful children. They are my life…so if I enjoy watching Lost with them and then make fun of it together, I think that is fine. Why are you so concerned with our “lifes” anyway? Haventy you one of your own to worry about?
Mrs.Meister
And you don’t need a life? Why are you on here then? Dont YOU have anything better to do? At least we’re in agreement. Nobody invited you into this conversation, yet you jump right in and start making comments about us. By the way, if you’re reading this, and especially if you comment on this, you’ve come back and you REALLY don’t have a life. Go to a fan site if you love this drek so much.
Okay, really…do we HAVE to still do this “If you hate Lost then don’t watch it” thing? (except I left out a few insults and profanities).
It’s been 2 years. Can’t ANYONE read the F-ing FAQ?
And it is interesting that Lost has become as Jay said: entertaining only in its ability to be ripped upon.
This may be just another of the many derivative aspects of the show when viewed as a social / marketing experiment. We (this site) in fact may be a “sub-plot” that was anticipated by Abrams et al.
So in the series finale when it was revealed that the show never had a point other than to see how TV can manipulate society, one segment will be devoted to people who watched the show only to criticize it and how that blurs the lines between this group and the people who watched it because they “liked it” – Oh, the philosophical implications. JJ Abrams is a GENIUS…
Oh wait, actually the show just sucks.
Nicely Put!
Why would anyone waste their time reading the FAQs?
Because “it’s better to keep your mouth closed and let people assume you are a fool than to open your mouth and prove it”
That being said, can we all ignore this attention seeker now?
Dare I interject that there is one thing that I did not find entirely loathsome about this episode? As a season “premiere”, I agree that it reeked. HOWEVER, the suggestion (through the flash-forwards) that some Faustian pact may have been made by the rescued survivors is… um… interesting. This may have been hinted at previously but I was probably not paying attention. As always the most annoying aspects of the epi: (1) nothing moved (except Hurley’s tits) and (2) it has provided yet more fodder for the favoured (Cdn spelling, you goofs) theory that the world of “Lost” is in fact nothing more than Hurley’s psychosis. That particular plot line just burns my ass because it’s just not very compelling, we all know that it will go nowhere and has died and been resurrected several times over the past seasons. Which compells me to pronounce once again that… Yep, you guessed it.
Silly of me to actually believe the episode preview that the “rescuer” will deliver the news
I liked that the first “rescuer” (Naomi) dies and is then immediately (about 1 minute 40 seconds later) replaced by another anonymous helicopter- parachuting “rescuer.” Nothing happened in this episode.
i’m not sure how many rescuers there are on that boat but the next 20 or so episodes will be dedicated to one of them being killed and replaced over and over while showing flash forwards of their respective ghosts. remember the nikki and paulo episodes? it’ll be like 20 of those, all while 10 minutes elapse per episode.
Too bad there’s 7 epi’s left. And this being Lost, that may not even be enough to answer some questions
After watching JJ spill his guts to the intelligentsia that haunt TED(dot)com seminars (if that’s not a slam on his audience I don’t know what is-I mean it’s not like he has to worry that they’re watching TED or anything) it’s beyond utterly pointless to debate absolutely ANYTHING in terms of plot and/or explanations. There are none, and JJ made this more than perfectly clear. In his schtick, the mystery IS the point. It’s constant suspense without payoff. He’s obviously trying to one-up Hitchcock. There’s no final shocking twist like old Alfred, there’s only suspense. Although, Chase’s superb “Sopranos” ending beat him to the point of pointlessness.
Nevertheless, seeing the svelte and dapper hobbit wearing too-big designer shades reminded me of an Italian on holiday. He was only missing the obligatory 10cm taller seductress with designer handbag in his arm.
Ah, those lucky Italian boys with their fine-nosed Latin beauties talking too loud and sauntering around without a care.
Anyway, I was at least a trifle bit disappointed to not see the Smoke-beast squatting under the shade of a rubber tree deeply inhaling a cigarette and saying to himself, “What the F&%K (emphasis here) do I do now?”
I guess he’ll make like Jack and pour himself a weak screwdriver and glide around the island wearing a hawaiian shirt.
Oh, but what about the anticlimactic surprise of seeing another mystery guest parachuting his way into a too many character ensemble?
Zzzzzzz
The point of this posting and website, at least for me, is the fun in pointing out the stupidity in others. You know, like when you were a kid and you still had that friend at 12 years of age who still believed that babies were delivered from Paris by stork.
This site is the Red Pill for those still trapped in the fog of Abrams-the Lost people.
I think we’re on the same page.
That ted(dot)com link you posted last week should be required watching even though I, like Tyler, only made it a few minutes before I got so overwhelmed with Abrams self-serving drivel that I thought about the sweet release of death. OMG he really does love himself and think that his abilities and “vision” are beyond all others.
Everyone join me in a collective eye-roll
Totally! The thing missing here, is ANY viable explanation. With the “Sopranos” finale we at least had the option of walking away believing one of two things. Either Tony got whacked, or he didn’t. Now JJ seems to have forgotten this in all his brilliance. Nobody would sit down to read ‘War and Peace’ if there wasn’t a resolution-a point to it all. Somebody would say, “You know that book is pointless, it just goes around in circles and NOTHING makes the least bit of sense”. Somebody would warn others by making a website called whywarandpeacesucks(dot)com.
There is no ending, explanation, meaning, lesson, moral to this story. After four years (70+ hours) there doesn’t even exist a viable theory or option, and why? Because JJ doesn’t believe in them! Thousands upon thousands of years of human storytelling culminates in the longest non sequitur ever. Maybe he’s a nihilist and “Lost” is a metaphor for the meaninglessness of life, and like life living and wondering is the point. But no, he’s doing this because he has a magic box that he hasn’t opened in 30 years, and/or he was disappointed after seeing the shark in “Jaws”. Zen doesn’t work with TV.
I wonder if his disdain for anything with a conclusion leads to other aspects of his life. When Abrams is having sex, does he always pull out right before then end, because the buildup is always better than the final “resolution” of the act?
ok, i actually laughed out loud on that one
I can just see it now. JJ banging his boyfriend and right before he is about to finish, he pulls out makes that “pop” sound that they play before the commercials and cums all over his own face. Then he walks out of the room and feels superior because he didn’t waste his splooge on someone who wouldn’t understand how deep and profound it is.
ROTFL!!!
Never heard a better explanation of why lost sucks and this website rules!
Yeah but you suck. Honestly don’t you people ever feel you need lives besides disgracing a show that over 16 million people watch a week?
No, uh-uh, you suck!
Yeah! How you like that?
A show that had over 20 million, finished last season with barely 12, only reason 16 showed up is because they are starved for new programming. When the writer strike ends, it will fall to below 12, bank on it. For someone who loves Lost so much, you sure seem to spend a lot of time here.
whoa i just solved a huge piece of the puzzle. okay when jack says at the end of season 3 to kate “we have to get back on the island!,” he is actually referring to the fact that they have to go back to hawaii to start filming season 4. he wasn’t even talking about the setting in the show. and when kate says no, that’s just because she’s sick of being on such a crap show. the rescuers are sent to hawaii to rescue the actors, so that they can move on to other projects, but ben knows that actually the rescuers will “kill” the losties’ careers because let’s face it, none of these actors has a chance of advancing since they will be losties forever in the eyes of tv viewers.
Oh definitely. Lost is a career killer for sure. At least for the new people like Kate or Jake who never really did anything before this (save late night hoochie-line commercials). People like Locke will probably be able to continue his anonymous character acting days though.
The actor who played Echo (one of the best characters in the series) should also have interesting opportunities in the future. And if he doesn’t at least he did not disgrace himself. As for Rodriguez, although a decent actress, she was self-destructive even before joining the Lost cast. Other than the hobbit and Rodriguez and maybe Locke who is one of those actors that you recognize but can’t name, let’s not forget that these people were virtually unknown prior to Lost. Their careers were going nowhere fast until Lost and most of them have failed to leverage the exposure afforded by the series. See for example, Vantage Point and other recent crappy films starring Matthew Fox.
I thought We Are Marshall was good.
Mrs. Meister
To this day, every time I see Jack, I get a vision of him all teary-eyed and scruff-bearded whining, “Bailey’s drunk again!”
and,
“where’s owen, he’s only here every fifth episode”
Who?
“Pity Party of Five”
Jack’s first TV program.
He was a whiner complaining about his drunk brother while taking care of the infant brother every fifth episode.
Just watched the JJAbrams clip from ted(dot)com. My god is that guy full of himself. What he did in that speech PROVES THAT WE ARE ALL RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING WE HAVE SAID ABOUT HIM. I have seen famous people give speeches. Most of those that arent self-centered spend the speech telling others how they can excel and get better. JJ talks about how great HE is the whole time. He probably doesn’t know how to make anyone better because he only knows how to start something, not finish it. Look at Lost.
What an arrogant sophmoric asshole. I like how he had that kleenex box ready because he thought it would get him a laugh and like 2 people laughed and he still stopped and made a totally staged face like “why are you laughing at me?” He is so unoriginal in his originality that he can’t even adjust on the fly.
PS. Hitchcock rolled over in his grave when he found out they were hanging his picture up behind JJ while he spoke.
so felicty was an experiment in how many dipshit kids you can fit into a college?
No, and excuse my candor, but it was an experiment to see how many episodes it would take for me to finally find Kerri Russell sufficiently, or somewhat, attractive to qualify as rub-out material (she would flash in towards the end in desperation)
But then JJ changed her hair.
i just love it how people who hate this show keep watching it every single week and cry about how shit they think it is…you guys are pathetic…
enjoy the rest of your life
peace
Your so right. If I hated a show I’d stop watching it after the first episode and move on. But these people have to watch it for four years knowing they hate and wasting their lives.
yet you stick around and post on a web site you hate.
Irony?
EXACTLY!
First of all I’d also like to say I really didn’t enjoy the episode. I guess I was still foolish enough to expect something to happen. Second of all I would like send out a big “FUCK YOU” to all the lost fanboys who still find their way over to this website and find the need to criticize people for having any opinion. Get a life you rejects!!
I had a question. When hurley got to Jacob’s cabin and that person looked out through the window and scared the shit out of him.. who was that person? Was it Locke sitting in there with Jacob? Cause it seems like Locke all of a sudden knows everything about the island so what else could be a possiblity? Granted, even if Locke does know something, he won’t tell anybody else until 2 sesons from now so don’t expect too much
This is what I saw. I thought there was someone sitting in the chair. I assume that was Jacob. Then, Locke poked his head out as if he was standing by the window or door or whatever Hurley was looking through. I thought there were 2 people in the cabin, and I think it was Locke and Jacob. But I could be wrong. I have only seen the scene once. Perhaps one of the fanboys can better answer the question. They have probably watched it in slow-mo forwards and backwards 50 times by now.
Mrs. Meister
well i rewinded the tivo once to see if they showed anything, and weirdly that Jacob character kind of looked like Jack’s dad sitting in the rocking chair. as far as the guy who looked out of the window at hurley, it was too quick to notice to who it was. it doesn’t really matter anyway
ok, I tried posting this already and it didn’t work. Maybe I left in a dot com. Anyway, check this out. It makes sense since I think nearly every character is linked to this dude.
youtube (dot) com (backslash) user (backslash) clonetriplesix
Mrs. Meister
awesome! yah i definately agree that just about every character has a link to him, so it does make sense. now we’ll have to wait and see what see what its all about. great find by the way!
Despite the nay-sayers, I still think that something other than Hurley’s tits will move during the second episode. I prefer not to weigh in on the whole JJ discussion, not because I don’t find it interesting but because I would rather forget that this may be one person’s self-aggrandizing, mastubatory vanity project, which kind of renders any further discussion pointless as suggested by Laurent above. I don’t think this guy is a nihilist. “At least nihilists have an ethos”, to quote the Big Lebowski. In any event, I find it difficult to believe that a single person could be running the whole show. No pun intended.
Me too, but then there’s Dick Cheney.
What you’d like to believe rarely parallels what you have to.
your a racist man,and prejudice you make make fun of mexicans and people with weight problems? Show a little respect you imbecile.
?
No, really, ?
WTF?
I don’t know where you’re coming from, but honestly, if we can’t make fun of mexicans and people with weight problems is life even worth living?
That’s why jebus put them here right?
(pronounced hay-boos)
WOW! I’m just amazed that you can operate a keyboard and mouse with that sort of Einsteinian brilliance. Kudos to your parents!
I’m just glad that Jack finally told Locke that the only thing he’s ever done is blow up anything that matters. I’ve been saying that forever. I can’t understand why no one has killed Locke. You would think that 50+ people would gang up and toss him around a little after the second time he thwarted their plan to get off that damned island.
Any by the way, why hasn’t anyone killed Ben? It can’t be that hard.
considering all the guns on the island, i’m surprised they’re all not dead now. considering all the jerry springer style fist fights, i’m sure some of them would have turned into gun fights. i always fantasize about being on that island and killing them all execution style and then living in paradise. ahhh i wouldn’t think twice.
Wait, didn’t Ben shoot Locke in the heart and leave him to die on a pile of corpses? Maybe I missed something flipping through the channels, did they ever explain how he got out of that one? I totally forgot about that!
Remember Walt showed up. But where is Walt now? Anyone … anyone?

walt just got a dwi, so they took him off the show.
EXACTLY!!! I guess we just have to leave it to the amazing healing powers of the island. Its still such bullshit because Anna Lucia and Shannon both got capped and died almost instantly. The island must have chosen to let Locke survive without a scratch, yet Ben still walks around looking like he just went 9 rounds with Tyson.
I now feel like a tool for taking 30 seconds out of my life to analyze this
LMAO – I love Lost but I also love this site. You can do both people, really.
Finally, someone who gets it.
Mrs.M
Me too! There is nothing better than commiserating over Lost.
As much as I love Lost, you have to admit that it is ridiculously frustrating sometimes and ABC is downright misleading. Even if you can’t admit that, how can you not appreciate the snark on this site.
Love it Tyler, Love it.
I love Lost but I actually enjoy reading some of this too.
Just wish there wasn’t so much hostility…guess I’m a fanboy
“I’m back baaaaby!”
Another sharp stick to the eye! I am now officially just watching Lost so I can make fun of it on this site. My biggest complaint is the usual one: nothing happened. The “flash forwards” are annoying to say the least (Jack to Hurley: “I’m thinking about growing a beard”, ha- get it- cause we know he grows a beard- how fucking clever…). The longer this show drags on the further it gets from its original premise- a bunch of fucked up strangers trapped in a situation that forces them to rethink their lives. Now with the arrival of the “other, other, others” we have lost any sight of that premise. One last barb- who didn’t see the splitting into 2 factions coming? What a twist (not)!!!
I missed you guys (you know who you are!) a lot. I don’t have as much free time online these days (new job: more $, less free time… the price one pays I suppose); but I promise to stop by at least once a week during this strike shortened run of our favorite (heh, heh) show. Talk to you all soon.
I was wondering where you were. Nice to have you back.
Mrs. Meister
No free time? You’ll MAKE time Mr!
Just kidding, nice to have you back on board.
aww i thought you graduated
Man, I was starting to get worried. I thought you went and got married and became too mature for all this.
I couldn’t agree more with the “beard” comment in the flashforward (see my over-the-top comment above)
It seems though that a new season has brought a new influx of “you guys suck, if you hate the show don’t watch it” fanboys.
Good to have you back though.
Welcome back, Nico. I too will be limited to bashing this show. I leave for 4 weeks of training (Army training, sir!) on Friday so no more whitty banter from me. Ok, no more banter. I hope to be back for week 6 bashing though I return 9 or 10 March, and have to watch 4 back to back episodes in order to get my digs in.
Also, not sure if anyone visits dharmasecrets, but I like to stir things up over there. They’re all wetting themselves on how “great” the episode was and the only dig they have back at me is I defend Heroes (I like it, so what?). Anyway, I’m hoping to be able to rip episode 2, but may not be able to so just in case, Nico, Turkey (eh), JT, Lmeister (Mr & Mrs), et al, tear it up so I can have something to read when I get back.
I guess you just couldn’t get used to the blue camo.
I’m sure the greatest sacrifice you have made thus far to serve your country is to miss this blog, sooooooo, have ‘fun’ in training and we’ll miss your witty banter until we shall meet again, epi 6.

I JUST HAD A TREMENDOUS REVELATION– OR MAYBE IT IS THE COFFEE
“Cloverfield” is a perfect encapsulation of what “Lost” is all about. No plot, no point, shaky camera work, and it keeps you going until its pointless end.
If any of you lostfanboys out there want a moment of clarity, waste $9 and see cloverfield and spare yourselves the time of watching however many episodes Lost has before it gets canceled.
There is no point to Lost. JJ will probably say “no point” is the point like there is some deep “waiting for Godot” purpose. But no. The point is to get your advertising dollars. c’est tout.
At least Seinfeld was upfront about the fact that it had no point. Maybe if lost didn’t pretent to have a point it would be better.

this adds nothing to anything, but I think is way cool. Even makes me think there is SOME planning because of how well it comes together…
check it out,
Mrs. Meister
Glad you figured out how to post links. I had to turn off that ability, otherwise this site would have thousands of viagra and “male enhancement” links.
Some fanboy has entirely too much time on his or her hand
you weren’t impressed at all?
Mrs. Meister
Yes, impressive. I just can’t imagine how long it took to piece that together in his parent’s basement.
Just saw tonight’s episode, and my God. I think when I return in 4 weeks, they will have just gotten the helicopter started and it will have advanced about another day, ok 12 hours tops. So they are there to get Ben. Duh, couldn’t see that one coming, could you? Hope to have time in the morning but probably not, suffice it to say I won’t be missing it the next 4 weeks.

I can’t believe that no one has yet gone off on Naomi, the Jason Voorhees of LOST Islanders. (Or maybe I missed it. If I missed it. My bad. I’ll do my penance over at the *shudder* fuselage)
First, this chick gets a knife thrown into her back, so hard that she’s spitting up blood. Understandably she falls to the ground “dead.” Jack, the mighty surgeon, checks to see if she’s dead by sort of feeling her back. Then she lays there “dead” while everyone has a “we’re going to be saved” picnic and talks about how keen babies are like five feet from a recently deceased corpse with a knife stuck in it like an appetizer. People say a whole bunch of nothing and take too long to say it and then “WHA-OH” she’s gone…
So, we’re then shown that somehow Miss Voorhees has managed to run away without notice, create TWO trails to really befuddle them, shimmy up a tree like a puma, lie in wait for an unsuspecting Lostie to wander by and then is still somehow able to summon the strength necessary to pounce on the always obnoxious Kate, wrestle her, WIN, then hold a knife to her throat. ALL AFTER HAVING BEEN SKEWERED WITH A HUNTING KNIFE.
Of course, the magic of LOST Island runs out just… as… she… makes… her… last… breathless… phone… call… *sigh*
If that wasn’t enough to prove to everyone how asinine this show is at this point… Nothing is.
Great example of just one of the monolithic contrivances in the show’s writing. I liked the show in the beginning, but jeez, how far-out can you go with the whole ’suspension of belief’ type of storytelling. Star Trek was more believable in that characters at least behaved the way that people have throughout human existence. Is Ben supposed to be Satan or something? There is no way in the scope of psycho-sociological understanding that would give any creedence to the ways in which these characters behave towards his character. NOBODY has pulled a ‘Sawyer’ and just gone up to Ben and shot him in his frickin head after all the evil they know he has perpetrated? Come on now, the show is just too nonsensical at this point. And to those who cry, just stop watching it, I have. Why don’t you ‘fans’ just stop visiting and posting on sites that you KNOW are going to be hostile to your opinions? Anyway, to all those who are on this site for the reason it was created, SEMPER FI!
