Lost anatomy
So now Lost is now on after greys anatomy. I guess the question tonite was, did greys anatomy end or was it the same show? A sucky soap opera, with surgical pseudo-drama. Yes, we have a crappy love triangle (2 actually). I guess that would be a love quadrangle? A gripping surgical drama. Although how much drama can you really have when you are concurrently showing a flash forward of the person in surgery. I guess that kind of gives away the fact that he will make it. Also did I miss something last week when the smoke monster was turned loose on the bad guys. Apparently the only damage it did was wound 1 guy’s leg? Guess old smokey is losing his bite. I really don’t know how much more I can take of this show, even watching it with the sole purpose of mockery. 9.8 out of 10 on the suck-o-meter.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the emergency appendectomy may well have been the most compelling part of the episode.
In the name of all that is holy, please cancel this festering cesspool of a soap opera. More rants to come.

That’s two episodes back to back with Benard in them. Hooah!
The Matlock crowd will be hopping and skipping today.
This episode is the Apollo chocolate bar that was found floating in the swimming pool.
Dear Lord, but that surgery bit made my eyes roll. Jack is supposed to be a freakin’ surgeon, for Christmas sakes, and he gets his emotions in the way by requesting the chick he wants to bang–a woman so emotionally unstable, she cries when the weather changes–watch somebody rummage around his innards during a life and death operation.
Speaking of whom, I’m so sick of Jack and Kate and their drama. Jack is boring, so is Kate (I could never swallow her as the ‘most dangerous woman in America’, I don’t care how many dudes she blows up).
Ooooh…and how eerie that Ghost Dad shows up again wandering around in a haunting daze like a demented ol’ Grandpa looking for the toilet at LAX.
The only people I’m ‘rooting’ for in this show are the mercenaries. I’m hoping they will shoot up everyone, collect their cash, and end the show. No luck that. We have to figure the great mystery behind Fantastic Island and the fate of your hapless heroes.
This episode achieved a new standard of horrendousness. As I suffered through this turd of a show, I really wanted to follow Claire’s lead and just wander off into the jungle — anything to get a away from this crap!
A couple of groaning moments included the scene at the beginning when Jack, as “he tumbled out of bed and stumbled in the kitchen, and poured himself a cup of ambition,” tripped over the Millenium Falcon! Ooooh, the writers have now bashed us over the heads for the 10 billionth time with a Star Wars reference! Another was when that Farraday dude wondered aloud where the electricity was coming from that powered the medical hatch and the red haired archaelogist gal said something like “Add that to the list.” She should have said “Add that to the list of intelligence insulting absurdities that we are forcing the audience to swallow.”
And oh yeah, this has been bugging me for a while (and I apologize if someone has mentioned this in previous postings), but why in the world does that Farraday dude continue to wear a fucking tie????? Any sane person would have take that off within two minutes of landing on the island. I guess it just adds to his quirky “nutty professor” vibe, huh?
Nothing in this episode made sense. Hurley suggested to Jack that they were all really dead and that Jack’s idyllic life was his heaven. Yah, and if that were true, wouldn’t Jack be doing cartwheels? He made it into heaven and gets to spend the rest of his life with his soulmate. But no, he gets depressed, starts taking drugs and drinking heavily, has visions of his sleazy father, and becomes paranoid and jealous because Kate wants to do a favor for Sawyer (who is presumably dead — oh wait, they’re all dead, I guess Sawyer is dead dead as opposed to just dead). How do they get away with putting this kind of tripe on TV??? If Saturday Night Live were trying to create a farce of the show, they couldn’t have done a better job.
Brilliant comments! I laughed out loud twice!
Here’s another Star Wars reference: Rousseau and what’s-his-face buried in the clearing looked just like Han Solo trapped in carbonite. Good thing they were only buried one inch deep.
Wait, so Rousseau is officially dead? One of the most interesting characters on the show, whose flashbacks I (and most others) would actually want to see, is now dead? What the hell was the point of her character, again?
To survive 16 years only to die stupidly when some plane crash victims come. At least she got to see her daughter again.
This episode was just boring. About halfway through I decided the only way to save it would have been for Harold and Kumar to parachute in and call someone a douchebag (name for your favorites for that, I have mine and the list is long). Why did that redhaired chick get to go for the supplies with the prof kid? How stupid and nonsensical was that? And now she speaks Korean? Bullshit! If you noticed, we also missed another opportunity for Jack to tell us he was going to get everyone off the island — INCLUDING THE CHILDREN! But, no, no, no. And why hasn’t anyone told the newcomers about the giant four-toed statue. Or do they assume the boat people know all about that? What were the odds that Sawyer, Claire, her baby, and Bruce Lee would walk across those two graves? Ten million to one? Or, since it’s Lost, better than even? How can Rose say people get better on the island with all the bodies lying around? Can’t she see it’s a fucking deathtrap for everyone EXCEPT her? Will JJ Abrams appear nude in a forthcoming episode and be eaten by polar bear? I’m so disappointed in this show, I may cancel my Hawaiian vacation this summer.
Speaking of odds, they not only walk across the graves, but then, in the entire friggin’ jungle, come across chopper boy running from the mercenaries! What a crock!
I have a new theory - the island is as big as a Super Walmart. In fact, it IS super Walmart. Next week, Sawyer discovers the frozen food aisle!
best line was Sawyer waking up:
‘it’s too early for Chinese’
everything else sucked, yet again. an all time low, probably my last episode. You can tell this show has gone beyond even trashing, as there are only 4 posts on this board the day after.
farewell, Lost
I don’t even know what to say anymore , but I will try:
1. Another flash-intermediate, filling in gaps of crap we couldn’t care less about. Wow, Jack was with Kate! Who cares? Wow, Hurley went insane (again and again and again) Who the heck cares?!?? Wow, the baby playing Aaron is so ugly they keep turning him from the camera! Who cares?!!?!?!?
2. Botox was in rare form last night - I think here face stayed the same the ENTIRE episode -truly one of the worst actresses I have ever seen.
3. Once again we have the same crap with the “rescuers”. One second, they are betraying everyone, the next second, gee, lets let them help us! What?!?!
4. My favorite completely illogic, incoherent moment: Jin busts blue-eye rescuer for speaking Korean (by threatening to break Fara-gays fingers!! ha) and then says he want her to get Sun off the island. WHAT THE HECK?!! Why would he even SAY that! Ooooo, you speak Korean, now you get wife off island, yes? I Hate this Show! Why do I care, why!!!!!!
I dunno - are women who give birth on the island still supposed to die? Can’t even remember if that’s still believed to be the case. I still watch the damn thing, but usually while doing something else too, so I don’t even remember. Convenient that Sarah Ferguson speaks Korean anyway, not a real common language skill. But anything to advance (?) the plot in some “tricky” fashion.
Well Tyler, while i do agree with everything you said, i still think the episode was entertaining. I wasn’t as completely bored and angry watching it as i usually am. Perhaps this is me finally getting desensitized to crap? I dont know, but I wouldn’t give it a 9.8 on the suck-o-meter
Well, hyuckity hyuck. Didn’t watch the show but assumeded that it both blew and sucked. Free at last, free at last, that’s two in a row that I didn’t partake of. Howvever, judging by the brilliant synopsi in this registratum of LOSTtesticulars - its as if I did see the show and it still sucked, or well, (Hey Orwell) blew. I have created my own ending point so that I may move on with whatever I was doing prior to investing so much wasted time on a show that has yet to make a modicum of sense. Its called “Desmond got to talk to Penny on the telephone”, or telly. Do the Brits call both the TV and the telephone the “telly”? What if they talked to Telly Savales on the phone while they were watching his TV show? Talked to Telly while watching his telly show on the telly while talking on the telly. Bring on the next episode, I am so ready to not watch it.
Good for you. However, that doesn’t explain why Penelope hadn’t organized a rescue mission between then and the time at which she found out about the island via the two polar dudes who registered the hatch implosion. I wish I had stopped watching then. Now I’m in too deep. I have to see this through
“Now I’m in too deep. I have to see this through”
Those are my sentiments exactly. This show is getting buried under it’s own stupidity and lack of continuity. However, I have watched this far and I need to keep watching, *just* to see where the writers will take it
exactly the reason i watch it
Its all there is last - masochistic, morbid, curiosity….
At 9:30 am on Friday morning, there are only 16 pages of the usual nonsense at TWOP and only about 8 comments here. It looks like people really have gone beyond caring. This show is such a piece of shit that even making fun of it is becoming pointless.
I knew last night’s ep would be horrible when Jackass wandered into the bathroom and this “mysterious” female voice spoke to him from behind the shower door. Only it wasn’t “mysterious” enough—I could tell right away that is was Evangeline Lilly attempting to alter her voice just enough so that nobody would know it was her and then the BIG REVEAL would make everyone gasp. Well guess what? It didn’t work.
What’s the difference between Lost and big pile of horseshit? The big pile of horseshit doesn’t waste an hour of my life every week and then make me feel guilty for looking at it.
stop whining about twop
But I enjoy it so.
Sawyer has sucked for a long time. He’s all oneliners, no story. Runs around with a gun, half whispers/half grunts, occasionally yells at people. What a waste of a formerly awesome character.
Stop with the close-ups and endless conversations already. This show used to have something called cinematography. It looks like a soap now.
We spent 30 seconds watching Jack making coffee in the morning.
There’s shaving cream on the island? We’ve never seen Jack with a clean shave (even when he’s an MD in California), but let’s shave his smooth stomach for surgery.
This episode surprised me with one legitimately awesome scene (sue me), and that was the scene with Jack and Hurley. The lighting was cool, Hurley’s acting was dark and interesting for once, and the music was actually good for the first time in two years. It was a creepy, effective scene, and it actually got me to stop bashing for the few minutes it lasted.
Best line of the show: Jack to his fellow MD, something to the tune of “I need you to write a script for me.”
Tell me about it.
Ha, great one. I missed the script line.
Wow, that sucked. Do we need to say anymore?
Tyler, forgot to mention Ben must have set ol smokey to stun. OK, now we’ve said it all, maybe.
My thoughts are we have one good episode, then a complete crap fest like last night, so maybe next episode won’t make me want to gouge our eyes out. I agree that they try this voice altering crap all the time, like Ben altering with Sayeed, now Kate altering with Jack. So Sawyer is still alive on the island? Is Jin? I will admit that makes me want to watch just to see how they explain it, though it makes me want to puke each week I watch.
I forgot that last week was a new episode so i tuned in tonight thinking i might have missed something but no, it still was the same pile of crap as always. Last night’s episode was nothing more than a chick-episode to make ‘jaters’ happy. The intro sequence was so lame - showing jack walk around without a shirt, mention something about the red sox, then go talk to kate while she’s in the shower. “i borrowed your razor”… wtf? since when has this become desperate housewives? Their make out seen later on was pretty soap-opera-ish too. They’re making out for two seconds and she already hops on top of him….
there really was no progression in that episode and i can’t believe i wasted my time watching that garbage.
Before this episode, when Lost sucked, it sucked in a distinctively Lost way. That distinctive way made me mad at the show, and made me want to keep watching it so I can rail against it. This episode, however, sucked in a bland way. It sapped away my anger and replaced it with indifference. Now, I don’t even care to analyze how this episode sucked.
My turn.
“Claire! Claire! CLAAAAAAAAAIRE!” Hey Sawyer, wanna shut the fuck up? There’s guys with frickin machine guns out there! Never mind the fact you’ve turned in to a complete fembot. AND AND AND….you stole a line from the Breakfast Club (”You don’t talk to her. You don’t look at her. You don’t even THINK about her, you understand me?”)
More useless trekking through the forest. God Almighty.
JATERS UNITE! Gratuitous soap-opera sex scenes. Ooooh look! Kate’s panties! I’ve never seen her show THAT before! Oh wait…
Can we have Bernard just stand around from now on with the Chloroform at the ready? Then anytime Jack starts wimping out, Bernard can say “Sorry Jack. I agree.” and suffocate his ass unconscious.
So Kate was lying to Jack, gets caught red-handed, and then suddenly she tells Jack that she can’t have him around Aaron, so Jack mopes his way out of the house. The way that situation flipped on its head was so abrupt and lacking in credibility that I actually laughed out loud at how stupid the writing was.
Hurley’s nuts so Jack needs to become a drunkard junkie. Seems perfectly logical.
Is that Joan Rivers playing Botox’s role? I don’t think I saw her face move once.
OMG OMG OMG OMG! I didn’t see a scar on Jack’s belly in the flash forward! Maybe they ARE dead. OMG OMG OMG OMG.
Okay… That episode was the definition of a filler episode. awful. On a different note I think I figured out the suck o meter… Since I dont like every episode being a 9 point something I drop the first number and the decimal portion becomes the actual number on a 1- 10 scale. So last nights episode was an 8 on the suck o meter and last weeks was a 0 meaning it was good.
Hey given the name you have chosen, I take it that you’re a bona fide expert on all things “Dawson’s Creek.” When the show originally aired on the WB, I was forced to watch it every week by my girlfriend for about the first season and a half. My memory of the show is now pretty dim but there is something that has always bothered me. In the beginning of the series, Joey (Katie Holmes) lived with her older sister and his Afro-American boyfreind and I think they had a kid. And there was one interesting episode that explored the issue of some old woman’s objection to the interracial romance. But then, very unceremoniosly, the sister and black boyfriend just suddenly disappeared from the show! Was this ever explained in later seasons? It still bugs me to this day.
DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it’s a special moment for “Lost,” as for the 1,000th time a character is asked a direct question which might possibly shed a tiny bit of light on wtf is going on - “How did you know that they (Dead people) were there?” Sawyer snarls at whatshisface asian dude, and the question is ignored or brushed off and just lays there like a dog turd, ignored forevermore. Show of hands - after Jack was knocked out and Kate was tossed out, how many think Dr. Botox put some sort of nefarious device inside Jack? Maybe a combination global positioning device/mood alterer/small beeping thing that drives you nuts. Everything else has pretty much been said. Stupid AND boring, a fatal combination.

Yeap.
That pretty much sums it up.
Its just like those people that can tell your fortune by staring at goat intestines. Only LOST makes less sense than that.
Ah another fantastic episode of lost where nothing happens. What’s really getting me at the moment is the sudden caring Sawyer. Last week he’s all where’s is Claire, got to get Claire in the house to save her. This week it’s you stay away from Claire or else. What has he suddenly switched from freckles to blondy? As for Claire her Dad turns up and she just wonders off into the jungle, after all the strange stuff on that island you’d think she just say you know what I’m not falling for it this time. But no she quietly sneaks off to have a family reunion and promptly abandons the baby in what could be the lamest reason ever as to how Kate ends up with the child. People this stupid deserve to be stranded on an island and systematically exterminated by a smoke monster.
Oh and as for the emergency surgery that was just pitiful, I mean what was the point, oh he’s in pain, lets slice him up, yey he’s okay. Also are we meant to believe a big girl like Jack could actually undergo surgery without being knocked out?
The flash forward, how boring can you get? Woo Jack’s with Kate and he’s still, wait for it, not happy. He’s on the booze and the pills and imagining dead people. It’s so obvious now that he’s going to get the oceanic six back together and head for the island to rescue all the people he abandoned.
brilliant lost parody on Mad Tv featuring the hobbit

That’s good, wish I could post that on the fan sites.
Nicely done.
WTF did I just watch (fast forward lots) episode 10? Lost has degenerated in to a horrible drama. OP is spot on. Rehashed surgery drama (w/ convinient hidden nearby bunker with medical supplies!). Crapy love triangle. More ghosts. One of the Other (v. 2.0) mysteriously speaks Korean, leading to absurd threats, and yet another question that will never be answered.
No reason to watch this crap anymore. I’m done.
Didn’t watch this week’s episode (actually, I’ve stopped watching), but wanted to pass along the news that Lost is losing so many viewers, that it’s no longer among the Top 20 shows for the season. I think this is the first time that’s ever happened.
tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,272|||season,00.html
Yeah but fanboys will claim that doesn’t include Tivo viewers. But historically, Tivo/PVR/DVR only accounts for about 2-3 million more, respectable but not the ratings juggernaut it once was.
What the fanboys also ignore is that Tivo/DVR etc. raises EVERY OTHER show as well. It’s not like Lost has a monopoly on Tivo viewers.
Not surprisingly, this argument will get you banned from fan sites.
you are very smart
Perezhilton is saying the new Speed Racer movie (with Matthew Fox) is getting only lukewarm reviews and may get beaten by Iron Man this weekend.
If so, do you think Jackass will again blame the fans for not being smart enough to recognize how awesome his various projects are?
haha omg yeah jackASS sux so much!!
Holy Crap I just found this site and its my new favorite place in the world. LOST sucks big donkey-balls, and I’m glad I’ve found others to agree. I have friends that take this show so seriously no matter how bad it sucks.
Good times.
Ya, it used to be alot better here. It seems everyone now agrees that lost sucks and stopped watching.
Yes, seems like there is just not much more to say. I really felt that we could bash this show forever, but now it has sunk to such ludicrous depths, that most of the regulars have vanished. I guess the issue here is that Lost used to suck, but it was just good enough to keep watching and laughing. Now it just plain reeks with no redeeming value, and people are just leaving.
I am wondering if the show will even make it to the end, or end up getting canceled. I suppose there will always be enough stupid/blinded people to watch and give it enough ratings to make it, but still I wonder…
I’m been wondering that same thing this week. We know they have this three year deal, but what if the ratings really sink? How low would they have to go before ABC gives JJ his pink slip? I wonder where the show is going these days, because all I can see ahead are absurdities piled upon absurdities, few bearing any relation at all to the early show. And there really is no hope of rectifying things, given that so many mistakes have already been made. There are now too many unresolved issues, not all of which can be resolved.
As long as there are legions of Americains guzzling Charles Shaw’s, um… wine, believing in the messianic pronouncements of Oprah Inc., trusting that simply rising to the surface from the depths of apathy to vote will make a difference, and that Jeopardy has some redeeming educational value; then yes, Lost will continue to draw fans. Like witnessing Jerry Springer’s endless gushing fount of white-trash, we are left asking, “But where do they all come from?”
This is the decadence before decomposition-rot from within, no?
so says king laurent, lord of elitism
For such a hater of all things America, Laurent sure seems to know a lot about it. I can picture it now, Laurent sitting in his living room eating cheese (fromage!) and sipping wine, watching Springer and yelling “JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!”
But he does have a point, there’ll be enough idiots (myself included) watching to keep this show on until the end.
Yeah, I watched Twin Peaks through the bitter end because I’m a David Lynch fan. I don’t think there’s any way I can hang on for Lost. The show has sunk so low that it’s not even fun pointing out the multiple logical fallacies that occur on a weekly basis.
I would really like to see it cancelled just so the show-runners would have to tie everything up early (complaining all the while that their elaborate mapping-out process really would’ve made extraordinary television if only they had been given the time to bring their vision to the screen). The finale would suck, the fanboys would splooge, and we could all get on with our lives.
yea!! i hate fanboys too!! i hope they all die
And I speak fluent sarcasm! Good one fanboy! Things a little slow at the fuselage today!!??
RAARR! i love the fuselage! i go there all the time! my usrname is locke1723! ur joke about the fuselage was funny!!
Elitism? A common hoi polloi charge when one wants to rise from the mierd that everyone else is content to root in.
Sinking to the lowest common denominator is preferable to maintaining standards in this absurd new age. Perhaps why it is all crumbling down, no?
you are an ass, no?
Moments away from the lost hour (or 58 minutes now). Wondering why I bother anymore. I keep chasing this high, and it got fun last year when I found this board, but now the core group slowly fading away, Nico, JT, Turkey, who’s next? Lmeisters? Who’s going to keep me updated when I go to the sandbox later this year? I’ll miss season 5 and have to catch up right before season 6 starts, and even then I’ll be going to Germany (maybe I’ll swing by Laurent’s to say hi) so I may just miss the last 2 seasons all together. Well, as I write I’ve hit the first commercial break, and already I know we’re going to find out nothing in this episode.
Not going anywhere Captain. We will see this thru to the bitter end.
