5 well deserved weeks off
That really sucked. A 97% flashback episode. Wow. Just wow. Frankly, finding out how Michael came to be on the boat was the least of the mysteries I ever wanted revealed. And what’s with the gay other? Is lost trying to go after a new demographic? Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but it just seemed out of place in the episode. Then in the last 30 seconds Carl and frenchie die? That’s the big cliffhanger? Who the hell cares. I would have been more upset if the Korean panda salesman had died. Thank God we have a month off from this crap. 9.9 on the suck-o-meter.

previously on lost: we’re gonna show ya what happened two years ago because you probably forgot (we hope). it makes revisionist history easier at least. oh shit we said that out loud! fuck!!!!
i laughed 4 times in the first 2 minutes. hurley had a good line. “dude we knew that, like, episodes ago”
alex was lucky they had a spare rhinoplastologist on the island. i know you thought she was hotter, you just weren’t quite sure why. so you’re welcome.
okay who was waiting for the back the future sequence when mikey was about to commit suicide? they don’t make flux capacitors like they used to.
you people?!?!?! what do you mean by you people!??!?!
do commercials seem louder these days? and fuck that VW commercial is annoying.
abrams: “plot!?”
sayid is cool.
ohhhhhhhh she’s still alive.
*alex was lucky they had a spare rhinoplastologist on the island. i know you thought she was hotter, you just weren’t quite sure why. so you’re welcome.* - THANKS!
okay who was waiting for the back the future sequence when mikey was about to commit suicide? - ME!
you people?!?!?! what do you mean by you people!??!?!
- YOU PEOPLE…I LOVE IT!
hahaha , wow listen to this bullshit you guys post. This gets more halarious the more i read. Your like those fuckin homeless punks and lazy ass fat shits who claim “society” is bringing us down and fuck the government lol. lost is an amazing show , and if you have nothing better to do then bash it … i seriously could give a shit about how much a loser you lol. gg … ty for posting your guys hatred for lost , really made me laugh
And you have nothing better to do than troll anti-Lost sites and make nearly coherent sentences. Now go upstairs and tell mommy and daddy that you really told off a bunch of people online. Ah, to be 17 and retarded….
??? are you an idiot? why does everyone one this site watch a show they hate, and talk about it in their spare tine, then any1 who disagrees is made fun of cus he doesnt want take the time to type properly to a fag like u. Lost is awsome, name a better show u impatient bastards
Wow, another pre-adolescent fanboy moron has joined us for an episode! Welcome, fool.
Lost sucks.
Some of the episodes S4 have been OK. Well 1 anyway… the time travel one. Downloaded E8 on bittorrent. Got 10 minutes in. Just did not give a F anymore. Googled ‘lost sucks’ and here I am. Think I’m throwing in the towel on this one.
OK, I now this is twisted, but I’ve had my head on economics for a while. Lost is a lot like our economy. It runs on fumes, no productive activity, and debt. We have to go more into debt to pay off the debt we paid yesterdays.
That’s just like Lost. It’s a Ponzi scheme where whey keep introducing new mysteries and characters to distract us from all the ones before.
Well, maybe I’ll give it just one more eeny weeny chance….
(back to finish episode)
- sayid is a fucking pussy
- the looney tunes “BANG” note in the bomb is the worst thing ever written into the show
thats all. the rest sucked accordinly.
tell Naomi to cut her mustache while she reshapes her bangs into “asshole” face.
sayid is definitely a bitch now but i did like how he fucked over michael. that was fun. maybe one day he’ll even become the bitch locke is now. remember old locke? so sad
“tell Naomi to cut her mustache while she reshapes her bangs into “asshole” face”
ha! good stuff.
OKAY, SO THEY SEND A MAN WHO CAN’T DIE EVER, BECAUSE OF SUPER MAGIC, TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON A G*DDAMN BOMB THAT WOULD KILL EVERYONE ON THE SHIP INCLUDING HIM…. INCLUDING HIM!!! THEN, GOSH OH GOLLY GEE WHIZ, THE BOMB DOESN’T GO OFF!!! SHOCKING!!!
*Deep breath*
That may have been the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen on this show. Why not just give him a gun that shoots a little flag out of it that says “BANG” and ask him to go on a killing spree? This show sucks so hard and so bad that the actual light from Suck won’t reach it for a million billion years… Unless time travel or a wizard is somehow involved and it’s Lost so that’s probably the case.
“NOT YET” - Lost

My name is Laurent, and I have been sober for three weeks.
I have abstained from watching for three epi-doses.
The weening is in effect. Like weening oneself off Kraft Singles… very f$%&ing easy.
My body simply rejects it, my mind simply revolts and demands more, like reading… a brochure from Disney Land, or the owner’s manual to a shop-vac.
This may be my last post. I just can’t force myself to care to hate.
I’m just about sober now. I don’t have to worry about falling off the wagon, when the floor has already fallen from it.
I think five weeks for me without watching. No, wait, six. I’m not even sure–how many episodes have there been?
Do we get a pin to show our achievement? I’d like a pin.
Though, I’m tempted to rewatch the season 1 DVDs, to remember whether or not there was ever anything good about the show other than the first Locke flashback epi, which was what drew me in as a temporary fan. I think I remember defending the show a lot back then to the person at the other end of the couch, who kept up a litany of, “They have to be just making this stuff up as they go along They have to be.”
I just found you by googling Lost Season Four Sucks. I’m laughing so hard it hurts. I love you.
welcome!
btw, who googles ‘lost sucks’ ???
pssst…all of us…
Another convert! Yay!
I was so bored with this episode that I actually fell asleep before the SHOCKING conclusion. I second everyone’s remarks about that stupid bomb flag. Complete crap. At this point, it’s like the writers are just daring us to continue watching.
Writer 1: “O.K., when Michael tries to set off the bomb, let’s have it malfunction—the digital readout will clue him in and he’ll have to go steal a part from somewhere else on the ship.”
Writer 2: “What, are you new here? That’s waaaaaaay too plausible. Let’s have him push the button, and then a little flag will unfurl that says something quasi-cryptic so that all our fans can marvel at our brilliance.”
Writer 1: “You’re right. What was I thinking?”
You know what else really sucked this week? The fact that there’s ANOTHER double-secret hatch that nobody knows about. Yeah, that’s always a clever plot development. Almost as clever as adding 4 or 5 new characters every episode just to kill time. Idiots.
This single event sums up this week’s episode: the trio in the jungle. Why did they stop for a drink? So two of them could be shot. That’s it. Not for a drink (which must be a Lost euphemism for a piss). No, just so they could get shot. Because we know very well that those who shot them were NOT fucking waiting for them to stop for a drink before taking the kill shot!
And island immortality magic???? Bullshit! THAT IS SO STUPID!! Why didn’t Michael jump off a building? That would’ve been fun. Or step in front of a bus? Come on! Show us something!!!
And for godsakes, why did we have to be subjected to another painful dialogue where “the truth” was finally going to be revealed — and it wasn’t! “Okay, so how are they going to ‘kill everyone on the island? Huh?’”
Can we agree, by the way, that Gay Other was really missing Ben while he was Making Manhattan?
If this show doesn’t end with Ben being dismembered, I’ll feel Lost.
Why didn’t we see Michael and Walt at sea? How did they get rescued, or find land? BTW, I do have a theory about how JJ and his gang of clowns could bring the real Walt back into the show, and I was bitterly disappointed this was not used already tonight. They could explain how the (actor) Walt looks older now because . . . of the TIME DISPLACEMENT PARADOX OF THE ISLAND! Both he and Walt aged when they passed beyond the magical island horizon. Only Bed can explain it, and he won’t because he’s still busy working over Locke.
What a stupid episode.
Okay, let me get this straight–the time displacement thing really is for real part of the story? And Desmond really for true travels through time, doesn’t just think he is? And the island really does bestow some sort of invulnerability agelessness thing? No, really? Not rhetorical questions… is this stuff part of the plot?
I know this has been said many times before, but how does this show hold onto a single fan’s faith that they will explain it all in the end (if we just have paaaaaaatience), when the producers originally started out claiming it would be explained by science (not scientifiction)? How does the cognitive dissonance not cause thousands of heads to splode?
Half hour until game time here in the middle of the Pacific O.
I’m thinking this may be the week to follow in Laurent’s footsteps and not watch. I know I’ll get sucked into it when my wife goes back to watch it. Tommy Boy is on TNT right now and I’d much rather hear “You know that thing in the back seat? It’s not an air freshener, it’s a dead rotting deer carcass”, “housekeeping, you want mint for pillow”, and all the rest of the hilarity that follows.
Laurent - I can understand not watching but NOT POSTING? Come on…
It truly does seem that Lost withdrawal has several distinct stages much like mourning:
1. Denial - I used to love this show, now it sucks but I KNOW it can turn around
2. Bargaining - Maybe if I just hang in until the season finale they’ll turn it around, and if not there, then in the season premiere
3. Anger - These f#&%ing writers are complete idiots with total contempt for all of us and they think they are so brilliant. And I’m tired of all the Lost fans telling me I’m not smart enough to “get it”
4. Depression - Why do I keep watching this show? It truly sucks but I still watch. I’m a loser
5. Acceptance - Yes, the show sucks. It has sucked for a long time and will suck right up to and including the end. I don’t even care enough anymore to even worry about it.
These stages can be seen among various people all across this board. Remember when many of us had the same ire about the suckiness of the show that we see in many of this seasons new regulars to the board?
The sad thing is that it is becoming obvious that so many of the regulars of the last few years are reaching stage 5 and therefore disappearing or at least posting less regularly (I for one have found myself just lurking more and more and seeing the sentiments I held much more strongly in the past).
Ahhh, such is the evolution of Lost hatred (Maybe THAT’s the point of the show)
Welcome to Sally (above). When you are bored, go back and randomly read stuff from the past 2 years…there has been some funny ass conversations about the suckitude of this show. And based on the continued crappiness, I’m sure the writing staff will continue to supply comedy fodder for the next 3 years.
*Remember when many of us had the same ire about the suckiness of the show that we see in many of this seasons new regulars to the board?*
yes, I find myself somewhere b/w stages 4 & 5…didn’t really watch last week, suffered through last night (after Duke escaped a huge upset…those bastards always find a way)
I watch, then… wel,l then I get all excited. I’m like Jojo the idiot circus boy with a pretty new pet. Now the pet is my possible sale. Hello there pretty little pet, I love you. And then I stroke it, and I pet it, and I massage it. Hee-hee I love it, I love my little naughty pet, you’re naughty. And then I take my naughty pet and I go ARHHHH AHHR AHHHHHHHHHRRRR SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
SPOILEEEEEEEEEEERRRS!!
I FAILED! I Decided to find out what the big cliffhanger hype was going to be!
HERE GOES!!!!
SPOILERS
I AM TYPING THIS AS I AM WATCHING IT :
Previously on lost (back when it was somewhat decent)… WALT GOT KIDNAPPED.
And now, only 56 episodes later !!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!! We follow this storyline.
ONLY NOW, BECAUSE WE KNEW YOU WOULD CARE SO MUCH MORE IF WE DELAYED THE “CONCLUSION” OF THE STORY.
(note: conclusion does not mean we will conclude anything. it’s just a buzz word)
So this is the episode that is supoosed to be suuuuuuuuuuper shocking.
With a super twist.
(i bet all the deadies come back to life, and said and pilot go back to hunting zombies)
BUT BUT BUT
A DEATH IS COMING TONIGHT!
WHO WILL DIE?
Jin?
Locke?
Jack?
Probably gonna be a character introduced today…
OR bETTER YET! PATCHY.
HERE GOES THE SHOW!!!!!
SILENCE!
SILENCE SAYS IT ALL ON LOST!
40 seconds of stares… good… good
“Thank you all for your patience”
ROFL LOL CUM IN MY PANTS
THAT IS SO CLEVER!!!!!
Like we were all patient for 56 epsiodes
(and for those 40 seconds)
THEY ARE GENIUSESES
“NO MORE SECRETS” says locke!!!
WOAH They are on a rollll
“We kind of knew that forever”
Man they don’t stop tonight!
MICHAEL!!!!! EVERYONE KNEW THAT!
THAT MICHAEL! NOT THE JACKSON MICHAEL!
That would be too sweet!
HEY MAYBE THATS WHERE ALL THE KIDS ARE!!!!!!!
JAWS MUSIC ON THE BOAT!
AND….
Someone gets beatup…
hes gonna die!
NO WE DONT REMEMBER
WE REALLY DONT CARE ANYMORE
ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh “everybody just hold on”
How much of this “subtle” talk will we be subject to tonight.
And michael says
“IM HERE TO DIE!”
WELL HERES THE TWIST!
Now they twist with tthe previews!
“Someones gonna die tonight” and michael says “I’m gonna die”
Linus will find a way to find an ATM on the island.
Woah…
Ben looks like he’s gonna give alex the sex talk.
NO SEX ON THE ISLAND.
The rest of the people are in the SANCTUARY!
How long till we see the sanctuary?20 minutes? 2 days? 3 weeks? 40 epsiodes?
THEY ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN BEN BECAUSE OF THE CREEPY MUSIC.
Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.
I was so busy typing I almost missed this new character!
JEFF MAN! Will Jeff Man die?
HEY WOAH! NO FLASHBACK SO FAR?
Spoke too soon…
HEre it comes.
What is it with Ana-Lucia this season? They mentioned her every 2 episodes, and they showed her deading in the “previously” vignette. Maybe there’s hope for the zombie theory afterall!
Ok so is this the future, the past, the other dimension?
Notice how we are 2 minutes into the flashback and nothing has happenned?
If this was 24 in those same 2 minutes, 8 bombs would have gone off, Jack would have defused anohter 9, 3 major characters would have died, and the director of CTU would have been fired, twice. All in real time too!
So now we’re 4 minutes into the flasjback and WOAH! LIBBY!
I WAS RIGTH!
THEY COME BACK FROM THE DEAD!
ZOMBIE MISS LIBBY!
Now bring back Lucia and Eko!
ANd Eko’s brother.
They can sell coke to everyone on the island.
CALL WALT
He must be 9 feet tall by now.
Hey maybe the 4 toe giant statue was of Long-Ago-Past Walt, when he was at his peak as a greko-roman-inca-spartan gladiwrestler.
Another one!
“Until you can explain to me where you were for 2 months, you gave up your rights”
Man the writers are so clever tonight… THANK YOU WRITERS FOR YOUR INCESSANT WIT.
CUZ HE STOLE THAT WATCH FROM JIN.
JIN who will die one day. BUT NOT TONIGHT. TONIGHT ITS MICHEAL ( at least until the twist comes)
There ya go! TWIST
WOOT!!!!
BACK FROM THE DEAD AGAIN! PIRATE GUY!
KICK HIM IN THE NUTS! Like cartman would do.
So when exactly did that guy leave the island?
When he was busy babysitting jack and sawyer every day?
Maybe he has a twin brother… or a clone?
The island wont let you die!!!!!!
This should be good…
Now if you guys want a good story with an island in it, read Darwin Cooke’s
New Frontier.
WOW! COSMIC DUDE! TOTALLY RAD!!! THE GUN DIDNT SHOOT!
THEY FOUND THE RECKAGE! how many times will this show this footage this season!
Ok so we’re 12 minutes into the flashback… will this be just a flashback episode..? until the last minute twist kill a random character moment?
ITS A PHONY PLANE
STAGED THE WRECK
HE had a plane and 200 bodies.
Interesting.
And believable. Totally believable.
IF ITS ON PAPER IT MUST BE TRUE.
oh, 300 corpses.
That’s more plausible.
Ok so….
Big bad ben…. got to the island and killed everyone there except the ones with the super powers that can regenerate forwever.
And then he kidnapped, killed torutred the random survivors that fell on the island.
But he’s the good guy.
BECAUSE YOU SEE, FAR FAR AWAY,
There was this other man, that heard of this mystery island in folk tales.
AND HE KNEW IT WAS AN ISLAND WITH SUPER POWERS.
So he spend 213 gajillion dollars and commited 2232 crimes to get to the island.
And he plans to kill whatever he sees on that island when he gets there.
OH WAIT! HES NOT EVEN ON HIS WAY THERE.
BUT!!
JUST IN CASE SOME RANDOM OTHER BOAT MAKES IT TO THAT ISLAND, Send micahel on it to kill all the crew.
BUT JUST SEND MICHAEL, ALONE.
SEND HIM, this guy who has just gone through hell and is probably unstable…
BECAUSE… it would be impossible for pirate guy and the other OTHERS who can come and go from the island of power as they want…
IT WOULD BE IMPOISSIBLE FOR THEM TO i dunno, BLOW UP THE BOAT… or Wait… BRING BACK GUNS TO THE ISLAND AND YOU KNOW KILL THEM WHEN THEY SHOW UP IN THEIR GIANT FUCKING BOAT
OR BETTER YET, KILL THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE
MAKES A LOT OF FUCKING SENSE.
I hope the writers die, I really do.
Ooh glimpse of Naomi’s ass crack.
Maybe they are catering to the bored lesbian housewives, instead of just bored housewives.
Ok so… wait
Charles witmorre BOTH DID AND DID NOT STAGE THE FAKE FLIGHT
FUCK THEM ALL TABARNAK!
So let’s recap for all you kids at home:
- Witmore spent a gillion dollars and stole 300 bodies so no one else could find secret island.
- Since he wants to be the only want to know where it is, he then gets a boat of 20 people to go to the island, WITHOUT HIM.
- Somehow, on that desert power island, BEN and his posse found out his plans.
- They then sat in the oval hatch and after long consideration, figured out that this was their best plan:
1) Use their super cloning technology to clone pirate guy and send him back to manhattan while still babysitting jack and kate on the island.
2) Once he gets to manahattan, he is to find Michael, the guys they just sent home, and who is completely distressed.
3) He is then to get michael to go kill all 20 crew members, all by himself, WITH A FAKE BOMB.
4) Michael will agree to do so, because he loves walter. You see, because he loves his son, he is willing to kill 20 random stragners even though his son is not in any danger
NO ITS NOT WALT.
ITS BEN
BEN CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS
BUT HE CANT PREVENT A STUPID BOAT FROM COMING TO HIS ISLAND.
It’s not like he has a Smoke monster and a poltergeist and a regenrating patchy and the bubonic plague and killer bears on this island.
Or tons of guns, and explosives.
ITS NOT LIKE HE HAS THOSE THINGS.
Instead he will use Michael, train him to become a superspy in a 10 minutes overseas call, and leave it up to him to dismantle the team.
And now we’re back on the island.
3 minutes LEFT
WHO WILL DIE
Saiiiiiiiiid?
Michael?
Desmond?
They are still trying to con us into thinkning it’s michael…..
No wait, maybe the captain! EXCITEMENT IS EVERYWHERE!
(i bet its no one.)
SAID GETS A BULLET! No.
No one will die.
THEY LIED AGAIN.
AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Unless ts that boygriend dude.
“BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS….”
Yup its gonna be boyfiriend.
1 minutes 42 seconds left…
HERE COMES THE BIG CLIFHANGING TWIST!!!!

THE KIDS ARE NUTS!!
THE KIDS ARE THE KILLERS!!! COME ON!
COME ON!
COME ON!!!
COME ON!!!!!
NO NOTHING!
NO CLIFFHANGER!!
NO FUCKALL!!!
Awesome, now I really DON’T have to watch it.
Also, I can’t believe the possibility of the dream ending didn’t even cross my mind:
Grindhouse reunion with Sayid and the pilot.
Lost would have immediately won back my affections even after so much abuse if they had pulled a “From Dusk Til Dawn”-esque switcheroo and suddenely it became a zombie killing show.
Maybe the the people on this board should be doing the writing. Clearly, we couldn’t do any worse…and if you could search back in the archives and find some of the proposed scenes people have created from the last couple seasons, I think we could make an argument that it would be better.
No, you ninny! The French chick died! That’s the big cliffhanger! Now there will be no more French toast on the island for breakfast. No more French fries for lunch or dinner. And no French kissing for Jack or Kate or Sawyer or Baby doc, which means there is no more reason to want to stay on the island, therefore . . . We will NOW see the aforementioned Beach crew effect a mass exodus from the Magic Island of No More Things French, but only the Lucky Six will escape. Tune in five weeks from now to see if anyone will stay behind because, there may still be French dressing.
Incidentally, what DID happen to her crew and that disease that was killing everyone?
Yes, that has become my new pet peeve in terms of lost plot threads - the “disease” was a MAJOR premise in season 1 and into season 2 then totally disappeared.
you mean the french disease?! it must be that because lost’s plotlines have as many holes as a third-staged syphilitic’s swiss cheese brain.
With the loss of Frenchy, that means she can continue to NOT tell them things she’s learned about the island after living there for twenty years. So that’s a good thing.
That is so convenient, since the writers no none of the answers to the questions, neither does the French chick.
wow your post is entirely too long
Never before, and never since, have I read such a perfect summary of whylostsucks.
The writers are fucking morons, each episode they dig themselves deeper and deeper by creating more and more plot complications. The reasoning and motivations of the characters are completely fucked. They seem to go out of their way to make things harder on themselves. For example, why does Michael have to have Walt stay with his grandmother? Why create the tottaly nonsensical situation where his grandmother is keeping them being alive a big secret? Why not just have Walt living with him and being mad at him? I can’t understand how even the most die hard fan could tolerate this. Why is it that every episode hyped up in interviews tottaly sucks? I think the only thing that would piss off the hardcore fans would be if they don’t explain the 4 toed statue.
Beyond the fact that there are too many characters to care about, how can the writers still not explain the belief system/reasoning of the others? The way they act is tottaly non sensical (”I will live in shit on the island taking orders and live in gay penthouse paridise in ny sometimes” - mr friendly). It makes me watch the show in such a detached way because while we understand the main characters, the others are tottaly random.
what’s also completely nonsensical is that they call themselves ‘others’ (from a couple epis ago…didn’t juliet say something like “it ain’t easy being […cheesy…] an other” ?
did you guys realize that the kid in the window wasn’t even the character who plays walt? they just got some random young black kid, i guess the writers think they all look alike
I assumed that the new Walt 2.0 had to be another kid since the real Walt has grown up so much and hardly looks the same.
Not that that excuses lame storytelling. Because it doesn’t.
He is known here as Walt Chamberlain.
see lost was originally supposed to be picked up by fox and the four-toed statue was a clever homage (
well that didn’t work for some reason, so here goes again:
see lost was originally supposed to be picked up by fox and the four-toed statue was an homage to the simpsons. since every episode was already planned out, the writers didn’t remove the reference as doing so would have ruined their creative vision.
I’m just watching now.
Gotdamn i’m excited to see this piece of shit! If it actually lives up to the suckitude expectations, that is.
Damn there goes Libby! She was a chubby-chaser.
Remember when “the others” used to wear disguises and pretend they were other others? Ben was running a work camp then and had everyone digging wholes in the ground. Yes, that is wholes as opposed to halves. Sayid was taking leisurely sailing vacations around the island and viewing the giant four toed statue guy. Desmond had a boat for a while but it was eaten by Agatha the enormously ugly sea creature. First Ben has a gay ham dinner then his “head” henchman turns out to have a boyfriend named Pablo. That would explain the difficulty in giving birth on the island, Adam and Eve could have a baby, not Adam and Steve. Dear Diary, Woke up at 4:00 AM in a cold sweat. Had a strange revalatory nightmare that if LOST wasever going to make and sense it would have done so before now. Had the sensation of falling into a dark bottomless pit of Televison Reruns. Then it was judgement day. Then not just me but the rest of the LOST damned were sentenced2 watch every single episode for 10,000 years. Then after the very last episode after the ten thousand years we had to watch 10,000 years of “The Cosby Kids.” Mommie?………
Why is everyone expecting the biggest revelations to be revealed when theres 40 episodes of LOST to go?
I can’t believe I just read what you wrote.
Have you srsly never been exposed to a well written work of fiction and lack all understanding of how it works?
Well its very much like Harry Potter, each season of LOST is like a book of HP, revealing answers as the plot goes on, keeping the biggest answers till the end. Obviously its not QUITE as good as HP, but LOST is still very good
Dealing with people like you is like dealing with friends that never went to college. They try and talk to you about all of these “deep” t.v. shows and movies that they watch, and it just makes you feel really akward because you just got done reading a novel or a 2,000 page history of the middle east. Most morons like you think something is deep, and its just boring to those of us who don’t take out a credit card to buy a new blue-ray disc player so we can buy the complete first season of “the office.” Go fuck yourself and your sophmoric intellect. Lost is not a great work of fiction, its just a television show, and a shitty one at that.
Ok, the fact that you bring up Harry Potter as an analogy clues me in that you MUST be trolling, but i’ll entertain this as I do think Harry Potter has shades of brilliance in regards to what it’s attempting to achieve and what it’s target audience is. I haven’t read book 7 btw.
Aside from Snape’s odd behavior from book to book (though these oddities were quickly explained, to different degrees of satisfaction) HP is the exact opposite of Lost in terms of logical continuity and character development. Comparing Lost to HP would mean Voldemort was introduced in book one and didn’t get another mention until book 5 or so. But each book, like clockwork, differnt parts of the history and specific backstory of characters was revealed and pretty much immediately tied in to the ongoing story.
Plus (and this is the delicate brilliance I mentioned) you are seeing the HP world, even though the books aren’t written in first person, through Harry’s eyes. The first book comes off as lighthearted and whimsical, even though a mad evil sorcerer tried to kill Harry, because that is how a 10 (11?) year old would see things. However, as the books progress the tone becomes subtly darker and more sinister as Harry himself not only grows up and realizes how dark and sinister the real world can be, but also comes to terms that he is a pivotal figure in something huge and that there are people ACTUALLY TRYING TO KILL HIM. Come book 4 and 5 he is depressed and miserable and high-strung and even directly mentions how things that made him happy before just aren’t cutting it anymore in light of this madness he’s living through.
Despite the books shortcomings and the fact that i’m not exactly their target audience, I still feel the way Rowling handled this progression is in fact nothing short of brilliant. Compare that to Lost where the writer’s can’t seem to decide anything about how the characters should progress deal with the madness around them. What started as hops are now full fledged jumps back and forth between dark and whimsical, even from fucking scene to scene. And you can’t say ‘well that’s how real life is’ (maybe for a full fledged manic-depressive) because there is always residue from event to event. The darkness will pervade the happiness and vice versa and a good writer will show this.
If you want to compare Lost to anything it might be ‘Infinte Jest’ (which i’ve mentioned before) by David Foster Wallace and which i’m pretty sure at this point Lost is trying to blatantly rip off.
here’s some fuckin brilliance for ya:
Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word “wand” with “wang” in the first Harry Potter Book
Let’s see the results…
“Why aren’t you supposed to do magic?” asked Harry.
“Oh, well — I was at Hogwarts meself but I — er — got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an’ everything
A magic wang… this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.
“Yes, yes. I thought I’d be seeing you soon. Harry Potter.” It wasn’t a question. “You have your mother’s eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work.”
“Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. ”
Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls
“Oh, move over,” Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry’s wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, ‘Alohomora!”
The troll couldn’t feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry’s wang had still been in his hand when he’d jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll’s nostrils.
He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll’s nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.
He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.
“Yes,” Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding…. Any second now, he might hear his mother again… but he shouldn’t think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn’t want to… or did he?
Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang
Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.
‘Get - off - me!’ Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.

here’s one problem…
they don’t intend to answer some of the ‘mysteries’…
from ‘tv squad’ and other sources:
‘At the annual Paley Festival being held in Hollywood, CA, Lindelof explains that after ABC saw the episode with the [four-toed] statue, they got a note back from ABC execs saying that they thought it was “too weird.” ‘
they likely won’t revisit what was one of the big season 2 cliffhangers, and one of the more intriguing things about the island.
Why dont they intend to answer the questions?
They definetly do have answers
*Why dont they intend to answer the questions?*
you tell me?
better question would be, why do they continue to only RAISE questions that they have no intention of addressing? and we do know the answer to that, the entire show is based on buidling mysteries…not resolving them.
“They definitely do have answers”
You sure about that? There is no evidence of this. Yes, they have said in the past that they have it all planned out but have since said things that clearly contradict that.
You are still in denial. When are some of you going to finally accept that answering questions is not team JJ/Darlton’s milieu ?
We’d like to tell you all the answers. We of course do know all the answers. They just won’t let us tell you the answers. We ARE so sorry!!
go back to the fuselage loser
seriously how many times will you stress your point about having X number of episodes to go, so why would they reveal big mysteries. you and plenty of other people have said it time and time again. its unintresting just like this show
please no more valley-boy dialogue from Hurley. That got old, like, forever ago. If you can’t think of a legitimate way to build his character, just kill the guy off.
Sawyer’s remind-the-audience-who-Michael-is-and-what-he-did line was probaby the worst thing ever written for television.
“Who’s the spy?”
“Michael”
“Huh? You mean Michael, as in, the black guy who used to be on the island, had a son named Walt, killed two chicks in the hatch - that Michael?”
PUKE.
“Sawyer’s remind-the-audience-who-Michael-is-and-what-he-did line was probaby the worst thing ever written for television.

Welcome to Exposition Theatre. You KNOW they had to put this in because, if you took a poll, I bet 80% of the audience can’t remember a third of the characters and plot twists and fake-outs and other assorted nonsense that is Lost.
That the writers chose the most ham-handed way of delivering the info is just par for the course. It’s the equivalent of Nikki and Paulo running into the frame and barking out their dialogue just to prove that “hey, we’ve been here all along too!”
i don’t think i’ve ever been as bored watching an episode of lost as i was last night. this episode really really sucked, enough to get a 10 on the suck-O-meter. seeing Michael’s fucking face on the screen for that long just brought back all the memories of how much i hate that cunt. and now 5 weeks off, whatever
Yes I read that the show is supposed to go on for two more years. Well I have a great big cup of kiss my ass for that. Im not watching two more years of this. I saw the light last night. Some of it is never going to make any sense at all. Its all been a big trick to keep idiots watching. When Michael was trying to get up the nerve to blow up the ship and he sees the ghost or spirit, or future tense, or past tense, of one of the women he murdered for apparently no reason, I had a huge “Twin Peaks” flash back. Don’t get me wrong, I liked “Twin Peaks”, well. as much as you can like psychotic, bat shit crazy nonsense. Is there anyone we can “tar and feather” over this?
get a load of this, another of the douchebag fanboy comments… “wow i love this show, I can’t stop thinking about it. Friday mornings always suck for me because i know i have to wait 1 whole week more for the next episode (i can’t begin to tell you how much today sucked because we’re going into hiatus). I always have trouble waking up friday morning because after lost ends at 11pm, it takes me about an hour to calm down before i can fall asleep”
yes these people are really existing around you
This is why I weep for the future.
Yes they are the same raving lunatics screeching at Hillary rallies whilst waving flags and damping their underwear. You always wonder who these nutjob puppets are, well they watch Lost too.
just a friendly reminder… once cane goes off the air, we might even be able to see what happens with richard alpert.
did ya plan that one, writers?
Lost needs more cowbell and less of the writers humping our legs.
Michael with the rejigged ‘fro - uncool undercover brother.
The new mystery to be solved is whose ass is fatter - Tom or Hurley.
” more cowbell and less of the writers humping our legs”
LOL, nice.
Actually found a funny post over at the TWOP Lost forum. Enjoy:
Notes to self if I want to pretend to be a lowly deck dude on a mysterious freighter:
Come to ship in a taxi because apparently I have lots of money and that wouldn’t be suspicious.
Have big locked box shipped to freighter. Pretend like I’ve never seen it before and I have no idea what the hell’s in it.
Throw my cell phone off the ship in broad daylight in view of tons of other people.
Randomly confront big scary dudes with automatic weapons.
Get my own big bedroom by myself, so I can brood over and finally open aforementioned box.
Wander around ship with explosive material.
Talk to my old “friends” for like an hour while I send fellow shipmate off on wild goose chase.
Some nice points there!
My favorite was Arturo the gay love-partner. They have him dress in a silk button-down shirt with 4 buttons unbuttoned, dining on fruit and saying things like, “is this the guy that hit you with a champagne bottle?” with a stereotypical-gay-guy-inflection. And then, if you STILL haven’t gotten that they’re gay, the two snuggle for a second (but not kiss of course, that would be “gross”) before he leaves so Michael can discuss how he’s invincible. Seriously, could they hit you over the head with a bigger shovel to try and drive home the point that this guy is gay? Are there any gay stereotypes that they forgot to include?
it would be gross if they kissed. End of story.
I thought the “I like to indulge” line, followed by the finger food and gay eyes at Michael was legitimately hilarious. Michael’s return look was priceless.
“Are there any gay stereotypes that they forgot to include?”
Arturo could’ve given Michael a Queer Eye / What Not To Wear makeover while Tom cranked up show-tunes on the stereo.
So Michael can’t kill himself, that’s like wow! oh my god! Then he just decides to head back to the island that’s just not realistic here’s what would have happened:
Pirate/Gay Other: The island won’t let you kill yourself!
[shoots himself to find out for sure]
Michael: My god that’s incredible, I didn’t die
Pirate/Gay Other: We need you to go back to the island and save everybody.
Michael: Are you kidding work for you guys again, no way! I’m headed to Vegas, got it all planned out now. I’m going to become the biggest stage act in history ‘Michael the man who can’t die’. Hell I can jump off buildings, swim with sharks, drink acid and shower in liquid nitrogen without dying. I’m going to be rich! Screw you guys!
Pirate/Gay Other: Damn, oh well back to the island for me. Hey at least I’ve got me a Sawyer in a cage, wonder if he knows I’m secretly getting off on holding him prisoner what with me suddenly liking men and all!
Can someone please explain to me Pirate/Fat/Tom/Gay/Other’s globetrotting chronology in this episode? Remember, when Michael gets roughed up by Sayid, we’re in current present time where Fat Tom is dead. So the submarine is also somewhat long since blown up. And he spoke to Michael by phone, I believe (could be wrong), from NYC. And Michael was then in Fiji, which cannot be too, too far from the Magic Island, wherever it might be. So, what, five days steaming there? Less? Couple days more? So how does Gay Tom get back and forth so quickly??? The Magic Teleportation Box? Don’t tell me by jet because he’d have land somewhere and still take a boat. What boat? What ship? More to the point here, do we really assume the writers sat down in a room and figured out Dead Tom’s trip itinerary and how it corresponded to Michael’s, or did they a) decide to use the Magic Island Time Paradox explanation, or b) decide, fuck it, Tom just goes here, there, and everywhere, and we’ll leave it up to our beloved Fanboys and Fangirls to provide any necessary explanations?
The answer is probably that the sub was not yet blown up at the time of Michael’s flashback. And if not - whatever, the sub probably never was the only way off. Maybe Tom took the boat that Jin and Bernard used for their fishing trip.
To be fair, I always thought the submarine was somewhat of a hoax, like maybe it still worked but wasn’t the first-class way of getting to and fro, etc etc. And this seemed to follow a logical continuity in that nobody seemed hard pressed to stop Locke, and nobody seemed to mind that it was blown up. (Maybe even secretly happy cuz submarine travel is a bitch.) I didn’t mind that part and thought it added to the mystique and fantasy of the thing. (Though lord know we don’t need more unanswered mysteries and unexplained fantasies.)
The problem is, will the real explanation of how they get to and from the island make sense, even in the fantastical realm? Or will it ever TRULY be addressed? Somehow, I doubt it.
It’s either some of these parts are well worked out ahead of time (though that’s still nonsense if there are gaping holes elsewhere) or they’re playing the angle that NOBODY could continue a story this terribly, thus forcing the viewers to believe it’s highly esoteric and write in the rest of the story themselves.
I was still on board (though as I mentioned the other holes or loose threads already ruined it) up to this episode with the mysterious concept of how they left and returned to the island, it built the story and added to the logical continuity that they COULDN’T really come and go as they pleased and any belief of said was part of Ben’s lies, a part of his sham to convince his people that he was more powerful than he actually was. (a powerful theme indeed)
Unfortunately, with this episode even that was blown out of the water (like so many fragmented submarines, lozl) and it’s clearly the case that the writer’s can’t decide, or choose not to in order to have a constant plot crutch, whether the others are ACTUALLY all-powerful or if that is a perpetuated sham to ensure the organization running smoothly and serve Ben’s selfishness. (As to what the organization actually does, well fuck if I know)
I got an answer for you: Who the fuck cares?
*sigh*
Oh where to begin. Where..to…begin. Well first of all, let’s see if they got all the necessities taken care of for a truly craptacular episode:
- Michael gets a job as a deck hand on a super secret, super insidious mission without having an interview. Check
- Gratuitous gay reference. Check.
- Looney Tunes note in big block letters. Check.
- Someone reveals something the audience already knew. Check.
- Someone trusts Ben to go to some place on the island you’ve never seen because Ben has shown to be so trustworthy in the past. Check.
- Unknown deckhand (Michael) allowed to bring a crate with a bomb in it on the ship without it being searched. Check.
- Same unknown deckhand allowed to receive phone calls without raising suspicion. Check.
Seriously. I mean…SERIOUSLY, guys. WTF is going on here? The intellectual laziness is so horrendously obvious that I’m tasting bile.
Here we have a guy who placed a 777 on the bottom of the ocean and who has invested all that time and money into this cruise. Do they really expect us to believe that he would allow anybody on the ship that hadn’t been vetted up the wazoo? Michael got the job sight unseen, and nobody knew who he was except the Asian Sensation. “Everyone on this ship has something to hide”. Bullcrap. A guy as rich as Penny’s father would leave nothing to chance.
“I don’t kill innocents.” Really? REALLY? So everyone at Dharma was a bad guy then, Ben? Remember, you gassed the living shit out of them to run off with the others. Are you saying not one of the Dharma residents was even a little bit innocent?
Festering puss oozing ass crack! Not the worst episode ever but right up there with the worst of the worst (2 weeks ago was worse). 5 weeks is not long enough. Put a bullet in this horse or set it out to pasture because its competitive days are done.
~Dr. RL~
I gotta admit, the suckier they get, the more excited I am to watch and see just how they tie this infernal mess up. It should be a doozy.
“Transportation” seems to be an incredible stumbling block for the Lost hacks. Forget about teleportation, island distances, and how big gay Tom can practically be everywhere at once. Let’s just look at two simple things: 1) Michael leaving the island and 2) the freighter.
So Michael and Walt leave the island with coordinates which are implied will lead them into shipping lanes. The two are picked up, returned to civilization, and that’s it. Really? That’s it!? This would be a HUGE story! News flash: If you are picked up in the middle of the ocean, you are going to have to talk to some authorities before you are released. Even if M & W made it to shore in their own boat, the odds of them escaping all detection is unbelievably small.
Second, if Michael did succeed in blowing up the freighter, the writers would want us to believe that Widmore will just go: “Oh well, they beat me. No sense in spending some more of my unlimited funds to try again—even though I still have the coordinates and Magic Island will make me even richer. I guess the phony plane I placed on the bottom of the ocean will just be sunk costs. Maybe I’ll invest in gold futures instead.”
Stupid lazy writers.
I don’t know… if I was told that an evil genius had the co-ordinates for the island where my friends (well, acquaintances) were, (except for the ones I’d thought I’d killed) and I was asked to blow up a ship the evil genius was sending there, I guess I might think at some point: Uh, if I blow up the ship, won’t the evil genius still have the co-ordinates? Even if the evil genius is on the boat I blow up, might not one of his evil subordinates have or find the co-ordinates? Maybe I’ll just pass on this one, thanks anyway. Still, this was a FREAKIN NOTHER GREAT EP MAN! I mean, when that TV show was on in the background, it was a quiz show and they asked a couple questions about Kurt Vonnegut!! Did you catch that?! AWESOME CLUE or at least a reference or something! And then at the end, what you think is going to happen - DOESN’T!! How can any show be so awesome? None can - except good old Lost! And thank God for that.
I have some really nifty tracts of land for sale. You sound like the kind of guy who could really appreciate acres of cypress groves. Call me.
Wow, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. Thankfully I am going to training in 10 days and will probably miss the next however many episodes of this crap. I really had high hopes but this episode proves without a doubt, Lost sucks. I will say we learned one great mystery, the one when Mr. Friendly was handing Kate a towel and said “don’t worry, you’re not my type.” He’s gay, God almighty that was haunting me, I thought maybe he liked redheads since he didn’t like blonde Botox. Let’s run down the shockers of this episode. The island won’t let michael die, bullets don’t fire, car crash can’t kill him, and yet the writers said early on there is no magical sci fi stuff, it’s all explained by known science. Let’s explain this one. Libby looks good for dead person, note how they didn’t allow Michelle *hic* Rodriguez back on the set. Or was she in Prison at that time? So Widmore faked the crash to divert attention, or did he? Who cares, has nothing to do with the original plot. So we watch 43 minutes of crap we don’t care about to learn that Mr Friendly is gay and Libby looks good still. Oh, and Michael was put on the boat. I think the most telling line was when Sawyer said in the beginning “he tried to kill us, then we lock him and now he’s eating with us?” or some crap like that. Worst line ever, worst show in a long time, and thankfully we have 5 weeks of good programming to watch instead. Oh, and they are moving time slots, another sign the show is failing.
Good point, a hit show never changes time slots. This will be what, the 3rd change? Nevermind that iceberg ahead.
Or the stupid show followed Lost is not doing well and they believe the Fanboys who watch Lost will follow it anywhere, but ABC really like its new show and wants to give it the best chance possible. Either way, the Magic Island is sinking from the weight of all the bullshit piled onto it by JJ and his carload of clowns. I really think we should make up the definitive list of unsolved, unanswered plot points (Magic Horse, Four-toed statue, missing children, mystery disease, etc) that have not been answered, so as it see how far into the TV shithole these geniuses have sunk themselves. Is it even possible to explain EVERYTHING now? I doubt it. But if Fat Tom can go to and fro from NYC without a ship or an airplane, if Jack can believe one single word either K or J says to him, if Locke can actually restrain himself from killing Ben, or Fatty can avoid eating Sawyer, anything is possible.
If you ask the fanboys, they’ll say they answered that on Lostpedia, or that the producers said it wasn’t critical to the plot. Everything critical (from the first season that is) was answered to them, which is in reality nothing. I don’t go to the fuselage, but on dharmasecrets(dot)com they’re spooging over this episode and I slammed it, can’t wait to rip into their replies.
Acoustic Rhyme Master of SD, PB, OB, Point Loma, Cholo Vista… rest in peace.
Turkey has not yet posted. He is far above this tripe. My hero, the great gobbler!
You are not alone.
It’s beyond complaining.
I think our time here is at an end.
Ciao
Oh, come on Laurent, don’t give up, we know the French are suckers for punishment (re: Jerry Lewis) so hang in there. I too await Turkey, Lmeister, JT (wherever he may be), Nico (still hoping), et al, and their observations. We need to take back this site before Lost stops sucking. Ok, that will never happen but we could hope.
Hang in there guys, we need you!
they want to kick me off Dharmasecrets because I am too critical of the show and I make personal insults (I don’t but they’ll use that to kick me off). I’m torn, I like the site for getting things I missed, but then there’s the putting up with spoogeboys bs. Guess I’ll have to reinvent as someone else.
Low intellect usually squashes out speech that it can’t comprehend. Keep fighting the good (er..pointless) fight.

A little late this week with my take on the yawn fest. Again, posting without reading so as not to be influenced. I thought this episode was okay. By okay, I mean I didn’t need to vomit half-way thru. Actually, this episode was so boring that I fell asleep for about 10 minutes in the middle and the Mrs. had to fill me in on what I snoozed thru. We also almost forgot it was on and missed the first few seconds, so I am not sure how Miles stopped having to suck on the hand grenade, or if that was even explained.
The Mike-fest was tedious and told me nothing that I cared about. The best part of this was that there was absolutely no Jack and Kate! I was soooo happy about that.
My favorite line was Hurley saying “Dude, we, like, already know that” when Miles told everyone they were “here for Benjamin”. Hurley’s line should be the official mantra for the show.
I guess they were having too many characters they had to pay, so time for two meaningless characters to get whacked.
I honestly wont care a bit that there is a month to wait for the next garbage truck to pull up and empty out another mound of Abrams sludge into my living room
I liked Sawyer’s line but I can’t recall the exact quote. Basically summed up the crap that has become Lost. I unfortunately never forget it’s on, I have it DVR every week (and I’ll admit it is priority #1) and watch it post showing so I can eliminate the commercials. I’m glad I’ll be out of town for all remaining episodes though I will see them on the weekends after, so my comments will be dated but I will continue to fight the good fight. Too many have been washed out by fly by night posters who won’t be here next year when the show “improves”. Nonetheless, I agree with you, and I had forgotten Hurley’s line, made me laugh when he said it. And then Mile’s comment (they didn’t explain the grenade BTW, Locke just brought him in) about Ben getting what he wants.
ALso, the ratings spiral continues, and I bet by season’s end it will be barely 10 million, they’re losing between 1/2-3/4 million viewers each week. It would be funny if they cancelled this show next season.
They’ll NEVER CANCEL This Turkey man! They have the green light to go all the way from the TOP BRASS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!
Syndication, HERE WE COME!
It’s like when Bush got elected….no one voted for him, but he became the PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
Nice bait. I voted for him, so did millions others. I hear some recently deceased people voted democrat, though, too bad not enough living people want to vote democrat. Watch out for the Illinois dead vote for Obama. Then again, Klinton II will probably dig up some mean dirt on Obama and buy her way into the nomination. Think about it, Billy “Blow job” Blythe (his real name for all you who think it’s Klinton) in the Oral office with nothing to do.
If the ratings fall far enough, I wouldn’t put it beyond ABC to cancel it after season 5, then put it on one of their other channels to finish up. Let’s see how many watch in Syndication when they know the whole ruse of the story.
Oh man, I LOVE it when someone brings up Lost and syndication! You think the fans are peeling away now, wait until this monumental pile of shit hits syndication. The numbers are going to be ABYSMAL!!!!! Syndication greatly favors series that are almost all one-off episodes (e.g. Law & Order) because the viewing public—all of us included—are basically lazy. People can barely hang on with first-run eps of continuous storylines because there’s so much else vying for our attention. A dedicated few will hang around for complicated, far-flung dramas, but most people bail out pretty quick beause it’s just too much damn work. And that’s for good shows!
I’m sure people at the fuselage and TWOP will drool over every ep in syndication, but their numbers are, in TV terms, infinitessimally small.
Can you really see the casual viewer wasting an hour on Lost once the series ends? No. Fucking. Way. I’d sooner watch back-to-back reruns of Mama’s Family or Small Wonder.
And you know what’s really gonna be sad when this hits syndication? The fanboys will waste untold hours discussing which minutes got cut (for extra commercials), if there’s any “meaning” to the cuts, if the producers are trying to “tell us something,” and on and on and on…
Does anyone realize that Lost sucks the big one and is hardly worth all this “lost” verbiage? It’s like KISS…they loved all the attention, but they STILL SUCK. That’s Right Gene FUCK YOU and FUCK U DISNEY…FUCK U ABC!!!!!
So, wait you all still watch the show even though you hate it. Um, ok so I guess the joke on you.
and you visit this site.
wow….you guys are all dorks.
you sit around complaining about a show you don’t really enjoy watching and continue to watch it why? because you all don’t have lives most people who dont like a show purposly miss it go out and do somthing productive with their lives whereas, ya’ll come on to a whyitsucks.com and bash it.
now why am i here? because i am a fan however im not blind to losts flaws and i admit they have made tons of mistakes but what show hasen’t?…. (don’t even begin to tell me that heroes is flawless cuz that is a show made by retards for retards).
you are just as bad as the nerds you make fun of!
Good one dude. You really showed us. Now that your psyche has been validated, go on back to the fuselage.
Why is it that none of these people seem to be able to construct a simple sentence with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar?
because its 1:30 in the morning and i don’t feel like going out of my way to make myself look respectable on a site full of idiots.
Die in a fire, fanboy.
tribalchic: “….a site full of idiots.”
…and you are on this site as well. So, I guess that really says something then.
Looks like a bunch of stupid fanboys (probably from some lame fan forum) found this site last night and decided to tell us what they think of us. I bet it’s burning them inside to see people find so many flaws in their beloved show.
im a 22 year old WOMAN and i came here on my own.
Im not a member of Fuselage but i do belong to a couple of smaller general forums, one of which posts some of your silly rants as a laugh.
I don’t care what you say about Lost because everyone is entitled to there oppinion. I was merely stating the fact that you sit here judging the “fanboys” for not having lives (which is probably valid in some cases) when infact you watch a show that you don’t even like just to come on here and discuss it……gee that sounds awfully formiliar!
That’s great! Apparently you don’t realize Heroes and Lost are produced by the same people. How retarded is it now?
im pretty sure that Tim kring is the creator/producer of Heroes whereas, JJ Abrams/Damon Lindelof/Carlton Cuse are the creators of Lost.
The only connection the two shows have with each other is Greg Grundberg (i think thats his name) who has had a role on both shows and is infact a childhood friend of jj.
how retarded are you now?
Duh, I’m retarded, I meant to say JJ is a consultant on the show. I had thought he was an executive producer but now I recall Tim Kring (quoted I believe in EW) saying he consults with JJ though I don’t believe he’s credited anywhere. Tim Kring must have gotten tips on not how to make a show suck. And I quote JJ himself:
“J.J. Abrams, a producer behind a slew of shows on ABC, thinks NBC’s “Heroes” is going to slay the competition.”
So your fucking retarded producer hero thinks Heroes is great, shows what kind of taste he has if you think Heroes is “retarded”. Keep digging, it can get deeper.
We’re here because we like to argue with people and make fun of stuff. Apparently, so do you, so what’s the problem?
Just because I’m bored…
Lost debuted this season with 16.1 million viewers. That’s it’s lowest debut ever. Since then, it has shed viewers every week except for one brief uptick for “The Other Woman.”
Last Wednesday’s episode netted 11.3 million viewers—a full 30% decline over the season debut.
And the next batch of episodes will be airing at 10 pm, so expect the hemorhaging to continue. Insiders are anticipating numbers to fall below 10 million.
Discuss… (or not)
Hopefully the ratings drop to as low as possible. However, even with low ratings, I doubt ABC would cancel the show. They probably will just keep on changing days and timeslots until the show ends.
No, they won’t cancel it because it tends to win its timeslot and pulls good numbers in the key demographics.
Nevertheless, for a show that used to regularly draw 17-22 million, a drop below 10 STRONGLY indicates that more and more viewers are realizing that Lost truly sucks—despite the near-constant praise from media outlets like Entertainment Weekly.
actually thats just the natural progression of any scripted show entering their later seasons (look at ER when it premiered as opposed to now).
As seasons progress the novelty and hype wear down and all the people who used to tune in simply because it was the “in thing” to talk about at the time loose interest and move to the new thing that grabs their limited attention spans.
I forgot to add another point - has anyone noticed how most mainstream entertainment news media are praising the episodes from this season as a “return to form”. I read some recaps and I have to ask myself if
A) these people were high/drunk while they were watching
B) They get paid by ABC
or any combination of the two.
I’ve tried to argue the ratings thing on dharmasecrets but some teenage fanboy keeps reciting bogus numbers like TIVO and online stats. I then did a little research and showed that TIVO only accounted for a couple million more viewers (He claimed 8 million more). I said a while back this show will dip below 10 million before it’s all over, but ABC will hold on thinking the final season will bring back old viewers and maybe hit the 22 million it once had. It still kills in the young male audience, and that is why it’s still on. I bet with the newest move and the 5 weeks off, the next episode will probably go about 10.5 million.
Whenever you mention the ratings loss to a lostie, they fall back on the “well its still in the top 10″ argument. Thats like the abused wife who says, “he’s really nice when he isnt’ drinking” or “he only smacks me once a week.” The fanboys can’t rectify the fact that show has lost 50% of its viewership. It doesn’t seem to phase them that the show must have gotten worse since so many have dropped out. I wonder if they would get the concept if you put it into terms they could understand: i had a 2008 suped up honda mommy bought me, now i only have a 2004 honda…boy that honda sucks…..thus they might understand whylostsucks.com
If you tell most fanboys and fangirls about ex-fans that no longer watch the show because of it’s problems, they will just use their rhetoric like, “they quit watching because they have no patience … they probably by a book and go read the ending first”
Or another one is, “They don’t appreciate the fine details of a complex show like this… they want all their thinking done for them”
Well you idiot fanboys, you don’t realize that the idiot creators/writers of this POS tv show know that they could put any garbage on the screen because the fanboys will do all the thinking for them.
Actually I’m curious about this…I never looked into where networks get their viewing stats, anyone care to explain? Do they count DVRs or TIVOs…because personally, I never watch shows live anymore.
I didnt read all the posts above so if I repeat sorry: 1. We already knew that the other was gay. 2. I didnt like this episode very much but for being mostly a flashback it wasnt as bad as it could have been. 3. Do we know when the show starts up again in a month how many episodes there will be?
5
I never really added my 2 cents for this episode but most of the crap in this one has already been mentioned. I will just mention a few points that stuck out the most for me.
This whidmore guy seems to be some big shot type with a lot of money to throw around, yet his ship operates like some random pirate ship. No security whatsoever.
Tubby gay guy seems to have his supernatural skills not only on the island but in NY as well. Are they trying to restore that ‘mystique’ about the others again? I wonder how he’ll feel when he finds out Ben swings both ways.
Since when has Sayid become such a bumbling fool? Why would he risk creating suspicion on the ship by approaching Mikey while most of the crew was on the deck? I mean you don’t need any kind of special ops training to know you don’t go doing stuff like that. Next, why would he give up Mikey’s plot at that point in time. If you’re on a ship where you don’t have the trust of the crew, you want to have as many people and insiders on your side as you possibly can. I guess now he did earn some brownie points with the captain.
The whole Mike can’t kill himself because ‘the island won’t let him’ has to be the stupidest point made in this episode. It’s so stupid that i can barely form an argument against it, but just say IT’S SO STUPID!!!
Hello, my name is Evil. I have been Lost free for over 6 episodes now.
So there was a Looney Toons Bomb now at the end of the Episode? brilliant. I bet the magic turtle put it there.
It’s getting really hard for me to Hate Lost anymore. I’m actually falling back into the mourning phase. Sigh.
I am just astounded that the writing talent is that bad at Lost that they can’t piece humpty dumpty together again without a sledgehammer. We will destroy this village to save it…….
I could write this show back into existence, and I have Zero talent. Yet somehow a bunch of guys with MAs in Fine Arts think that the only way to keep the show going is to introduce a bunch of new characters to shoot before they get developed and have really synthetic suspense.
I was at least sad when Rousseau died
The odds of Rousseau being truly dead are about 1,000-to-1. She wasn’t shot near a vital organ, and there’s still a big flashback episode planned for her.
I agree, there is no reason to kill her off without wasting a few more episodes on a flashback, during which they will attempt to reveal a few more “secrets.”
But if she is actually dead, all the answers the writers haven’t come up with die with her, so it’s actually quite convenient to kill her off. She has the most motivation to tell people stuff, and can’t hide behind some excuse to not give answers like “if I tell you they will kill us all.” or “if I tell you our plans are shot” or whatever other panoply of cryptic excuses they hid behind to not give answers. Rousseau mainly hid behind crazy of course.
Of course, the writers now have another useless episode to write, where the Alex chick gets revenge/copes with her mother’s death, etc. I have no idea what the context is since I didnt watch the episode but it is so eary to predict now.
You forgot one of the most important reasons for a flashback: NEW CHARACTERS TO INTRODUCE AND KILL!
Reason Lost Sucks #1
What the hell was the hatch with the code to enter and why was it built and why could you just turn it off?
Reason Lost Sucks #2
Why did Desmond start entering in the code since we conveniently skipped that entire scene where the PURPOSE of the hatch clearly was described in detail to Desmond by Shawshankguard because otherwise Desmond would never keep doing it.
Reason Lost Sucks #3
Whatever happened to the AARON IS A SUPER IMPORTANT BABY! and WALT IS THE MESSIAH threads that ran through Season 1?
Reason Lost Sucks #4
Whatever happened to that super disease that was killing people?
Reason Lost Sucks #5
Ummm, it’s 2008, do we know where our children are?
Reason Lost Sucks #6
Remember Hot Alex? Why hasn’t she given like, any secrets AT ALL? Are we really supposed to expect this kid doesnt know anything?
More reasons Lost Sucks to come…
Reason Lost Sucks #7 (I hope you don’t mind me adding to your list…)
Half the shit you need to know about this show you have to find somewhere else. When I ask a question over at TWoP about something, I invariably get an answer like, “Oh, they answered that on the podcast at abc.com” or “If you listen to the commentary on episode X on the season 3 DVDs they addressed this”.
No. Fuck no. If there is something that I need to know, it needs to be on the ORIGINAL BROADCAST. I am NOT going to spend time looking in other places, and I am sure as shit not buying the DVDs.
don’t forget the webisodes.
I knew that my good old fashioned hate could inject a little life into this community.
Come on people, pile on, what are the other unanswered mysteries that make you hate Lost?
And yes, the multimedia approach of hunting for answers “Duhhhh that was answered in the Sprite commercial back in 2006!!!!!!!” is particularly absurd, especially given that the answers make no sense.
Yeah, the fact that you had to dork it up ith that whole online Lost experience game to get the low down on Dharma or whatever.
If I want to start playing Warcraft or Second Life, I know where to find it. This is an effing TV show.
The Disease is # 1-5 on my list. It was by far one of the 2 or 3 MAJOR plot points of season 1 and half of season 2.
They’ve also dropped the other 2 major plots of the first season: Namely - THE CHILDREN (and yes, the whole “Walt is the messiah” or whatever, is included) and 2, the mysteriousness of a polar bear and a smoke monster on a tropical island
Though it’s not a specific plot thread, the thing that first started to piss me off was when suddenely, in season 2, major characters started to act in manners that were COMPLETELY inconsistent with their established character, just to introduce a lame plot thread.
Ahhh, thinking about these things has made my growing apathies toward the show begin to coalesce into the anger I once held.
It’s like I can hear the Emporer hissing into my ear: “Let the Hate flow through you”
Good!! Good!! Now! Take your father’s place at my side!!
The thing that pissed me off the most a few seasons ago was when I learned that you had to do some game or something to know what the numbers were about. WTF!
What you think the show should just, like, offer you answers without having to pay for them??????????
:-)
Don’t the great “awe” that was created by the writers in showing us the four-toed statue with the promise of revealing its significance in the coming season! Lost Sucks because NO ONE has talked about seeing that statue! Nor has anyone gone to visit it. Therefore, like the aforementioned children who are not discussed, revealing the meaning of the statue now has passed it’s expiration date of logic. The only people who care about the statue (apparently) are viewers of the show. The beach people would rather play ping pong and swim in the surf.
WTF? I just heard a commercial with the dramatic announcer guy saying tomorrow “AN ALL NEW enhanced LOST EPISODE”.
1. It’s not a new episode. Putting stupid popups in, doesn’t make it new. They are trying to trick people into watching.
2. Who in there right mind would watch those episodes AGAIN?
“2. Who in there right mind would watch those episodes AGAIN?”
The operative phrase is “right mind.”
Question asked, question answered.
I haven’t posted for 2 weeks, and this post isn’t really about lost. I’ve just not been inspired to write anything. The last 2 epis have been too boring to even spend time critiquing.
But on another note, Captain Prev, I thought you would like this weblink. Obviously anyone can view it, but I wanted to share it with him.

ps. thanks Tyler
This just in: The local ABC affiliate here in Atlanta has so little regard for tonight’s super-duper enhanced version of Lost that they’re pre-empting it for a locally-produced news special.
Botox-Queen Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) turns 38 today.
I watched reruns of fugging Drew Carey instead.
She’s only 38!?!?!?! I would’ve said maybe 43…someone needs a sandwich.
I’ve been officially banned/banninated from The Fuselage for wiseassery.
I take pride in this fact. And I was bored.
So we might see some angry fanboys over here sometime soon.
Oh you’ll love this; someone mentioned “Chekov’s Gun” as a justification for Lost’s untied threads. Chekov said that if a gun is introduced in a story, it has to be fired by the end of the story. I.e. why introduce something if it’s not going to be used (either directly, or indirectly).
Fanboy buddha so-and-so says that Chekov’s gun is not needed for good storytelling. In other words, good stories can have huge gaping holes and untied threads and still be good. No wonder they like Lost.
Pretty sad to be banned for that. Wiseassery is an encouraged art form here.
U ALL SUKK! LOST IS AWZUM! ur so stupid u all u can do is rant bout good shows ‘cuz ur so jealous. it probably confused ur lil shit-sized brains. i like lost its a good show i like some mysterty and mythology and if u dont like that ur a queer.
That is such a good immitation of them. Bravo.
2 years ago? Shit dude, this shit happened like 3 to 4 years ago! I was totally fucked up when they started the story about how Michael felt so bad about killing (um, who did he kill again?), that he wanted to commit suicide. What an idiot. This show is just dragging on into eternity with no end in sight. I can understand that their story board stretches beyond, not only the imagination, but time. We saw in an earlier episode how the time/space continuum is all messed up on the island, but seriously, that fucked up? 3 months of time takes 4 years? No wonder they can’t bring Walt back on the show, he’s all growed up and has a beard by now! WTF (when the fuck) are they going to end this piece of shit? 2010 its looking like.
I mean, look at Heroes. At least they came to some sort of conclusion after the first season. I think they drew on all the failed experience of the Lost series and made smarter decisions. People like to have some sense of closure by the end of a season. AND THEY CAN STILL COME BACK WITH SEASON 2!!! Wow, what a concept. New story board, same characters. Neat. Lost writers, get a fuckin clue.
Filler episodes, untied loose ends, insignificant characters that get introduced for no apparent reason, it’s all there. They think an Oceanic commercial is going to draw us in to Eli Fuckin Stone. C’mon, get serious, just another lame ass show that comes on too late. They tried doing this after season one too, with the little web scavenger hunt, gimme a break. People out on Lost forums over obsessing about shit and putting together clues that must have taken days upon months to piece together. At least that was more exciting than what has transpired over the last couple of seasons. What a load of shit. I didn’t realize they had hit episode 8 last week, and was all ready for a new episode this week when I saw Hurley’s car careening into a fruit stand AFUCKINGGAIN! Shoot me.
I mean seriously dude, I was sitting there screaming at the TV racking my brain trying to remember WHY Michael even killed those two chicks, and how it went down?
He killed them because they both got too many DUI’s.
It was a special web-only episode after hurley and sawyer got the Dharma brand van running. Libby and AnaL drank too many Dharma beers and stole the van. They were pulled over at a sobriety check point at the Pearl Station and arrested by the smoke monster.
I think it’s interesting how much we end up calling each other morons on these message boards when what’s really going on here centers around taste. People who still love this POS show have HORRIBLE TASTE in entertainment. They like bad movies, bad books, forced drama, forced comedy, cute moments, empty characters, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad music, lame sets, soap opera lighting, cliches, clutter, close-ups, CGI, quick edits, recycled ideas…. and the list goes on until I barf.
That is a good point. They just have no taste. I think they actually all saw Cloverfield which also sucked.
But if you have persistently bad taste, and are educated, doesnt that just mean you are dumb? I used to date a woman who liked everything. Utter TV junkie, watched anything she could get her hands on and bought the complete DVD sets (Buffy, Gilmore Girls, the office, etc) of good and bad stuff.
But even she had given up on Lost around season 2. Of course, she has a master’s degree and high IQ, and eventually her intelligence overpowered her bad taste.
Maybe she had some taste knocked into her when they turned Locke from a badass into a pussy, or Sayid into *THE MOST USELESS INTERROGATOR EVER* or they did the whole Libby Hurley thing without explaining it. Or maybe it was the part when they explained Ethan Rohm’s (other man) magical powers with fuckin’ leaves on his feet.
In other words, when all the mysteries of the first season became red herrings of Season 2, and all the mystries of Season 2 became red herring of Season 3, and everything that was loveable about the characters (namely their development) went WOOSH– I think it was about then that my bright, tasteless friend got some taste knocked into her.
I know just the type of person you are talking about. I used to have a couple friends like that. They would tell me that I just have to see Saw cause it is just so full of plot “twists.” The plot twist in that movie was so weak and lame it totally reminds me of Lost. Anyway, I saw it and then told my friends that it sucked and they thought I was insane. I’ll go back to watching re-runs of Mission Impossilbe and Quantum Leap.

Hello everyone.
Wow! what an awesome site. Fuckin’ hilarious. I googled “Lost Sucks”, and this is the first page that came up. I’ve been watching Lost since day one, and i’ve never known about this page, or The Fuselage, for that matter. Where the hell have I been?
Anyhoo, I’m going to throw this out there, the sooner the better. Yes, I am a pro-Lostie, if you will, so i’m aware that I am going to get ripped apart here
Although I am a Lost fan, I share many of the pissed-off feelings expressed in these threads. Guess that’s why I googled “Lost Sucks” in the first place, huh? Through this fantastic site, I was, unfortunately, also turned on to the nerd lair known as “The Fuselage”. Bad decision.
Strange, yes I know, that a fan such as myself finds this site a lot more interesting than The Fuselage. Maybe it’s because everybody here just seems a helluva lot cooler than all the fuckin’ dorks over at that “other” place. Or maybe, it’s because you all share my frustration with the unexplained plot holes from way back in season one.
But, you want to know what I really think the reasoning behind my attraction to this site is? I truly believe that it’s because these threads are funnier than a retard on fire. Yeah, I said it.
What you mean you are sick of fuselage conversations like:
ObiWan2187: Did you guys check the Gawain Poet reference in “The Looking Glass” episode??? That RAWKed!
DharmaVanCamper: Totally! And did you notice that Hurley quoted chapter 3 from the Foundation Series?? AWESOME!
KateLover: Keep up the good work guys! Can’t wait for the next episode.
OceanicPilot21: I can’t wait to see if Kate and Sawyer get together again!
Alright…now…because I feel like writing and not having to wait a day for a reply or greeting of some kind, I will play the part of a fictional member of whylostsucks.com, and also play the part of myself, J-Sin. So, technically, i’m playing with myself. (Pun Intended)

Hey, you fuckin’ fanboy! Why don’t you go back to the Fuselage where you belong!? If you’re frustrated with the show, then why the hell do you keep watching it???
comment by J-Sin

Here’s the deal, Mr. Disgruntled Viewer. I loved this show when it first came out, and I still enjoy the show, but not nearly as much. Why not as much? Because i’m sick n’ tired of not knowing what the fuck is going on. I still want to know about the goddamn smoke monster! I want to know about the friggin’ statue! What’s with the polar bears!? And for the love of God! Explain why Libby was in the psyche ward with Hurley!
Not only is it the unexplained plot holes that get on my nerves, but it’s also the constant drop of quality that preturbs me the most.
But you see…every once in a little while, there is still a tiny golden nugget that can be found in a ginormous stinking turd. For intance, “Greatest Hits” was, in my opinion, a fantastic episode. “The Constant” was excellent as well.
The problem here, though, is that you can only find quality maybe one out of every four or five episodes, whereas in the first season, every episode kicked ass.
But, back to the question. Why do I keep watching? The answer is simple. I have to know how it ends. I’ve invested far too much time into this show over the years, to just get up and quit now. That’d be like reading a fat-ass book that’s taken years, and just deciding to stop 3/4 of the way through, simply because I don’t like the current chapter. What would have been the point of reading all those pages over all that time, only to quit before the story is over?
And it’s not like I don’t know whether or not if there is an ending in sight. I know there’s an ending in sight. I know how many chapters are left, so I might as well see it through. Who knows, maybe I will be blown away by the ending. Maybe I’ll be disappointed. All I know is that I’ve gotten this far, i’m not going to turn back now.
Besides, what it all boils down to is this, I still enjoy Lost. It has it’s bad moments, now more frequent then ever, but all in all, it’s still a good show to me.
So, I guess we’ll just see what happens.
lost owns ur all blind they have everything planned to the end u morons, stopwatching every epis if u hate, and name a better show (no gay porn does not count u slutty pervs)
[insert name of show here] is a better show than Lost.
Your entirely right, they do have it planned,I’m sure it’ll be good if you keep watching
I
Wait for it… wait for it… wait for it…. any second now….
stop trying to be me!
my fav character had to be vincent…because he never did anything out of character
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK, he works all night and he sleeps all dayyyyyyyyyyyyy……..
This video pretty much sums up the whole Lost experience!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcatQSyRK6c
Thanks for that Tyler, pretty funny!
WHAT?
FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE/DONT GET WHAT LOST IS ABOUT: COMPLAINING DOESNT MAKE YOU SMARTER. LMAO. && HOW CAN YOU SURVIVE IN THE STREETS IF YOU’RE FUCKING CONFUSED OVER A TV SHOW?
DUMBFUCKIANS. KEEP HATING, LOST WILL STILL BE THE BEST SHOW. EVER.
Hey Einstein, try pressing the “caps lock” key on your keyboard.
Dude needs to watch “Stroszek” is all.
fanboys feeling the heat now that the show is reaching ultimate levels of suckiness.
Just some random quotes for your enjoyment…
“oh and i think this new spoilers increase the chances of a jack&kate kiss in the finale! so im a happy jater
”
Im a Skater, but i think this means with 100% tha the kiss is Jack and Kate. It’s not Desmon and Penny i think. Anyway that Jate pick is for episode 10 or?.”
“by the way i think a jate kiss will complicate things coz it will balance the triangle!
after all jate has kissed only once and it was back in S2! so the skaters were saying that jate would never get intimate and their relationship would always stay platonic… but ofcourse we cant call it a love triangle if one pairing always stays platonic while the other always gets the action! so a jate kiss will balance the triangle and this will complicate things…”
barrrrrrfffff!
Dear dipshits!
I come to this site every once in a while, laugh my ass off and wonder, why anyone in their sane mind would keep watching a show, they dont like….
I never commented here before, but I thought this was a good time.
1. Lost is 1. about Character, then about story, so if you really wanna know , the big picture just read a fucking summary of the season
2. Some Jackass mentioned here, that the polar bears havent been explained yet….. Are you shitting me up the ass?! Remeber that Dharma Station, where Jack was held at the begging of s3? What kind of station was that?
Yesss…. it was a station for animal resarch…. Those cages, that Kate & Sawyer
were held in? Which animals were in those?
3. I know, that this post wont change anyones mind, but still why the fuck are you so damn obsessive? Yes… The people, who spend their whole days on the fushelage and discus every split second picture of the show have no lives. But who is the bigger dumbass? A guy, who loves a show, enjoyes every second of it; or a guy, who spends his time watching a show, he hates??
Most of the shows on TV are total crap (Prison Break, Weeds, Heroes) but Lost is pretty much the best show since Alias.
So in closing…
Fuck you, see you in Hell…
You had me until Alais.
You’re already in Hell every Thursday night.
Is this another fanboy or do they just keep going back in time and forgetting they’ve said all this same crap before. Fanboy(s): remember this as your Constant: Lost sucks and so do you. Maybe then you can go back to where you came from.
Oh, you are so right! I love this show, with it’s great storyline, never leaving any questions up in the air, the full closure we get each and every episode, man what was I thinking to bash this show?
Hey genius, nobody says we hate the show, yet you failed to read the other 500 comments by me and others that state this. About the polar bears, we can infer they were kept in the cage (duh) but why? What is the connection to Tunisia? Explain that fuckhead, and while you are at it explain the smoke monster, where all the others are, not the other others, or the other other others, but the original others. And why can’t you die if you leave the island? Especially since the producers said all mysteries were easily explainable by current technology. I’d like you, assmuncher, to explain that. Now, go upstairs to the kitchen, ask mommy for a sandwich and some milk, and maybe a cookie for a snack, then go rub one out, and go night night.
I love it when fanboys/fangirls get aggravated when you make fun of their show. You can just feel the anger and frustration in every statement they make. Keep it up Lost zombies!
You have a point. Zombies do need brains.
Finally a web-site I can relate too. I stumbled across this website on my venture to bad mouth and expose every series that I had a hand in writing, Season 2 Episode 19 “SOS” is my crapterpiece sorry for that. So are you ready to hear the truth behind the all the “monsters” “mysterious hatches” and “destiny mumbojumbo?” There are two motives: the first being that the series will not end for-say meaning you should expect a ending similar to the Sopranos ” which was also a misable excuse for a series” the producers want the ending to leave the viewers feeling that they too are part of an experiment, the experiement being the show Lost itself. Big surprise !!! The ulterior motive is really to inspire belief in the unknown “God” and to point out the obvisous fact that we humans have pushed this planet to the limit. We as a civilization are on our way to using up every natural resource this planet has to offer and it is near a breaking point where in a couple of hundred of years none of this would have mattered. So it will end leaving the viewer educated about our planet yet with an entertaining theme. So bad mouth it all you want but don’t watch it this fuels the fires that markets the products on advertising.
Average writers salary $ 300,000 +
Average Military “Private First Class” serving in Irag $ 50,000
Somethings not right here
Interesting, taken with a grain of salt. First, I’m no expert on writer’s salaries, but in the Parade magazine last week they said average writer’s salary was about $20,000 a year. Now, I agree the good writers probably make more, but as the strike wore on we learned that most writers have day jobs since $20K don’t pay the bills in LA. I can, however, speak for a PFC salary serving in Iraq. Assuming he or she is single, they make just under $25,000 a year with all the combat zone benefits (tax free - though we still pay Social Security - and HFP/IDP). Add $250 a month for family separation if they are married, and add in Quarters allowance if they have a family residing off base, depends on area but average for a PFC would be about $1000, tax free. Still nowhere near $50,000. I know you were trying to make a point, but a little research (military pay tables are available to everyone, just go to dfas(dot)mil) would have showed how much worse it really is. I also think that we should pay our teachers more, $35,000 for what they do is not enough, I know I have a teaching degree. We pay these hollywood idiots millions each year to criticize republicans and bad mouth President Bush and say we care about our poor soldiers who make in one year what Angelina Jolie makes in a day filming a movie. How about giving my poor soliders some of that fortune instead of pissing it away having a baby in Africa?
well preev… its true teachers don’t make as much as other carrers, but no other carrer offers as much vacation time, 3 months off in the summer, 2 weeks off in the winter, 1 week off in the spring, and all the various days of the year that everyone else works like MLK and the such. in reality teachers only work around 8 months of the year. its a trade-off. but yes i still agree, teachers should make more, afterall they’re preparing our youth for the future.
Anyone planning on watching the new show thursday?
Are we back to new episodes already? I didn’t know that.
Not sure, I’m not at home (in school at nearby) at and have a test to study for so probably will watch the DVR on Saturday. It’s supposed to be good, so it will definitely suck. Some people will die, and a main character at that from the reports. Sorry for the spoiler.
CPT Preevyet on Duty in Virginia
The problem is, it doesn’t really matter who dies - they don’t go anywhere. They will keep showing up like charlie or the crazy chick (can’t think of her name).
Man did I typo or what? Are you talking about Libby?
And correct, they’ll keep showing up. I really can’t wait to be disappointed when they reveal the coffin mystery from S3. You know it will not be anyone crucial to the story, it’s not Ben since he’s working with Sayeed, so other than him I don’t care who it is. Maybe it is Michael, maybe he found a way to die.
CPT Preevyet on duty in Virginia
Since I have to get up at 5 am, I can barely make it to Lost’s new start time at 10 pm.
Question: If it airs at 10 and I’m asleep on the couch, will it still suck?
Answer: Yes.
Actually, I’m really looking forward to it.
This show has transformed itself into such a suckfest that it’s become quite enjoyable to trash it on a weekly basis. And as bad as it is, they always seem willing to make it even worse with every coming week.
Entertainment at its finest!
i never watch it when it airs… i wait till the next day and download it, but yes i’ll be up to date by friday morning
anybody want some entertainment… go check out the circle jerk going on at the fuselage today. “can’t wait for lost, only 10.5 hours to go, I can’t keep myself still”… seriously its loaded with splooge today
