Lost season 5 premiere
So they first have an hour long show explaining the show. To me this is kind of like a bad joke – if you have to explain it, its not funny. A good story should stand on its own. Most telling was when one of the producers said “fans will love this season”. Well thats quite an assumption isn’t it? I think a more humble statement would have been “I hope the fans like this season”. But that’s the smugness we get with Lost.
Not really sure what to say anymore. I am pretty much speechless. I watched the whole 2 hours and nothing really happened. Or at least nothing big enough for me to remember after it was over. I guess we are going to retrace all the events of the previous seasons now from a different perpective/time huh? Great. Flash backs, flash forwards, flash presents, its all the same. First they had to get off the island, now they have to get back. Trekiking here and there across the island… Others with guns… Nothing has changed. It’s just hard to me to give a crap about these characters anymore its all become so absurd.
I look forward to the discussions which always provide more insight that I can in my disgruntled state of mind at this late hour.

How many episodes this season? 12? Fillers, I meant.
well I am just as speechless after watching all two hours of this show. I didn’t think the show could get worse after last season but it proved me wrong. In past seasons they at least ‘attempted’ to make the different story arcs fit together, but tonight it felt like a whole bunch of different ideas hodge podged together. It felt like instead of watching 1 crappy tv show, I was watching 5 at the same time.
But it’s more of the same old same old again. Kate being overly dramatic, the little wuss Ben made out to be some super villain, walking around the island, more unknown others, and like Tyler mentioned seeing the flashbacks from a different point of view. I can safely say that the time travel angle isn’t going to work smoothly. It was a pain in the arse tonight and it will probably get worse as the show goes on because whatever happened in previous episodes will probably change due to the time changes. If you thought the plot was too hard to follow before, it’s going to be even worse.
Oh yeah and as for airing a previous episode to recap every week – it just shows how much of a mess this show is that you have to replay an entire episode just to remind everyone where they are at.
But in the episode they make it crystal clear that you can’t change the past, and that if you did try you would fail and end up causing that event. They make it a point right off the bat.
The time travel worked fine for me and for my friend who isn’t as familiar with time travel fiction as I am. It’s probably not working for you because you don’t want it to.
ABC worries for the casual viewer and that’s the only reason why they do the constant recap episodes. I don’t think you should really blame the show for something the network pushes, I’m sure the creators wouldn’t go “We need a recap you guys” if they weren’t already there.
“ABC worries for the casual viewer”
I’m sorry I just think this is funny
No need to apologize. : D
a “casual viewer” is one who doesn’t masterbate while watching the show
Lulz.
A casual viewer is someone who doesn’t retain knowledge from it.
Why so hostile to those who like things you don’t?
“…in the episode they make it crystal clear that you can’t change the past, and that if you did try you would fail and end up causing that event. They make it a point right off the bat.”
…and then as soon as the losties run away – Faraday goes back, knocks on the door, and changes the past.
Desmond didn’t meet Faraday in the hatch – oh wait now he did.
They make this stuff up as they go For someone who reads time travle fiction often please don’t act as if they are being consistent or scientific about it. They have written in an excuse to get away with anything.
Sorry – nothing happened in this episode and apparently but maybe something has happened in the past.
Desmond is special because he has been time traveling consciously before. Not many people have done that, so there are differences with him.
Um, Must have been a broken bat because soon after the “can’t change the past speech” the physicist finds a loophole in his diary
As I said before the show is such a mess that the recap of the previous episode is needed or else even the most die hard fans would be without a clue as to what’s going on. I’ve seen numerous die hard Lost fans posting on forums saying how they felt it was confusing and will have to watch the show over again to make sense of it. If your most loyal fans can’t get a grip on what’s going on then you know there is a problem with the show.
Wow. So you people say it’s stupid and now you say it needs to be dumbed down? Pick one.
errr no. I was pointing out how even most die hard fans need to watch episodes more than once to avoid the confusion that crops up during each episode.
The beginning started out alright. We atleast see some of the island’s history. But the storyline soon resorted back to typical Lost fashion…Kate is a whiny bitch, Ben is up to no good, Hurley is just so damn annoying, etc. We all know the O6 is going back to the island. How about this process gets sped along, AKA Hurley getting broken out of jail doesn’t need to take half of the season.
Oh, and how about on the island. I am willing to forego all paradoxes and adnormalities about the time travel–how only the survivors, remaining freighter folk, and Juliet move thru time yet Richard and the others remain. But we see more shootouts, more mysterious characters that get killed before we learn who they are. No smoke monster I see. Just another abnormality. Only SOMETIMES the monster is out to get people, even killing them. Other times our heroes can go about anywhere on the island they want. ???
Anyways, love the site, will keep reading all season.
I think Kate = hot.
Even though I think LOST is pretty silly and terribly overrated, Evangeline Lilly is some kinda hot.
The first episode was awesome, the second not so much, but got good laughs from hurley
This season premiere was really disappointing. I actually enjoyed the last 4 seasons but the whole time travel thing this season was really disconnected, sloppy, slow and pointless. I actually enjoyed the flashback/flashforward structure of storytelling, it was unique and gave the show an edge. Now it really does seem like a “a whole bunch of different ideas hodge podged together”. I’m not sure if I’ll tune in next week, I made the mistake of continuing to watch Prison Break’s 4th season thinking it would get better (when it didn’t…), something was just missing this season. Maybe after the hiatus the writers didn’t know where to go so they just pulled the silliest thing they could think of and threw it together. Bleh.
You hit the nail right on the head with your “whole bunch of ideas hodge podged together” and “sloppy” comments. I’ve felt this for a while now. This show’s credo used to be “everything happens for a reason”, but it’s become a show where things happen for no reason at all.
Examples:
Having Charlie sacrifice himself (even though there were plenty of oxygen tanks
Bringing “death-proof” Michael back to just to die (the boat would have blown up fine without his help)
Killing off Russeau after four seasons without ever shedding light on HER story (maybe that has yet to come…)
and the FLAWED premise of the entire season: the Oceanic six have to go back because “terrible things happened because they left”…when, in actuality, the reason terrible things are happening is BECAUSE Ben moved the island…which Jacob told them to do, to save the island….even though the island was in no danger to begin with, because they killed all the freighter people…
Sloppy writing has ruined the promise this show once had.
Nevertheless, I will go down with the ship and continue to watch….I’m a chump.
Correction: Everything happens for a reason – and we will make that reason up later!
Hmmm, well, Hurley summed up the show nicely as he explained events of the past 5 seasons to his mother. And I couldn’t help but feel mocked… in fact, I think Hurley was smirking as he recited all the ridiculous things that happened to them on the island.
Couldnt agree more….we watch for 5 seasons and he sums it up in 2 minutes.
Tyler had it right. Those 5 minute stares add up quickly.
suck up
The great mysteris and paradoxicals were explained at the end of last nights episode. We see Ben lighting candles and saying prayers with Spock’s Mother. It so clear to me now. I feel like singing. Its cold in space Kirk. Kirk, DAMN YOU KIRK, KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRK.
I loved it. You may think it’s pointless for them to come back, I think it’s great. If they had just gone back to their lives and live happily that would be ridiculous. It’s obvious that these people can’t just go back to their lives, they want to do that because it’s what is expected.
I don’t think it’s smug to think your fans will enjoy new material, they are fans at that point because they liked what came just before. You probably don’t understand this the way a fan would because you in fact didn’t enjoy what came before. And that’s fine.
I’m sure it was boring to you, but to say nothing happened is weird. If you were in the situations these characters were in for these episodes in real life, I’m sure you wouldn’t sigh, shrug it off, and go “When will something happen..?”

So you’re saying the show has a sense of realism to it? With the giant mechanical sheep (my theory of the black smoke) the hatch, the bright light….
They should re-class the show as Sci-Fi……or maybe Shit-Fi. yeah, that makes more sense.
No, I’m saying if you were in some reality where things happening in this show were possible, and they were happening to you, you wouldn’t be bored or complaining nothing is happening.
Being shot in the neck and on the run from people wishing to do you harm, traveling in time, etc. That’s definitely something happening and if it were happening to you it’d be quite significant. All I’m saying.
And it always was Sci-fi.
“And it always was Sci-fi. ”
Ehhhhh. If it was meant to be Sci-fi, it’s not very good Sci-fi.
Good Sci-fi doesn’t contain half baked supernatural nonsense.
I think Lost has created a new genre:
-Supernatural soap opera-
I hate this show. I stopped waiting after season 2. I watched about 10 minutes last night to laugh at it. Every scene with Kate is the same… it actually makes it hard to tell if it is a flash back-present-future? Anyone who watches this show and pretends it is enjoyable is an idiot.
Because people all have the same tastes and sensibilities as you and if they don’t appear to, they’re actually just lying to themselves.
I agree.
C’mon Ty, you can do better than that! The best thing about this site has been the snarky witticisms at the expense of the eps. It’d be a shame if you have “lost” your edge.
I know, I have lost my edge. The well has run dry my friend, and I’m the first to admit it.
No! Tyler, this can’t be. I can somehow get by watching Lost as long as I get your snark in the morning. Tell me its not true!
YOU MEAN YOU GUYS DIDN”T LIKE IT?!?!?! DIDN’T YOU NOTICE WHAT TIME IT WAS ON THE CLOCK AT THE BEGINNING?!?!?! 8:15!!! OMG THAT WAS SOOOOOOOO CLEVER OF THEM!!! I WAS JUST LIKE, WOW, YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND LOST!!!
rofl…there are times when we did think this was clever…
I haven’t watched the show since the beginning of season 2. That was when I figured that it was all being made-up as they went along. I have followed the show faithfully through this site though just because I still feel bitter about the season and change of my life wasted on this oozing pile of mental masturbation. The fact that anyone would continue to watch this show after the “frozen donkey wheel” really does make me weep for the children.
Anywho, thanks for fighting the good fight and giving me a few minutes of humor every Thrusday morning.
Here is a little bit of the discussion going on at the tail section website, copy and pasted:
“Both episodes were AWESOME! I loved how they planted the seed that Ms Hawking might be Faraday’s mother but then at the end, she was with BEN!
I don’t think Sawyer is the fourtoed statue- I think that was a little shout out to those of us who remember Kate removing the dart from Sawyer’s foot in Not In Portland, a nice little link….. for those of us like Kareem who just want this ridiculous relationship with Jack to be DONE for good. But fantastic writing, non-stop pace and a mind twisting 2 hours!!!!! Well done!! Can’t wait for Jughead!!!”
One bright spot, posts are WAY down on that site from past years.
I’ve been seeing similar over the top Lost pandering on other non Lost related forums everywhere.
Your typical things like “OMG that was the best episode ever” and “how did I live without this show”.
It’s funny telling them how bad the show is, because once you start pointing out the flaws they start getting upset because they have no counter.
Whle watching last night I couldn’t stop thinking about how fat Hurley is… and what would happen if the actor that plays him dies. How will the writers work that into the script?
Paul.
The numbers are in. They got 11+ million last night. I knew that 15 was out of the question, but I thought they could pull in 12, and that’s pretty close. The show has to be fairly happy with that.
Now the question is what happens over the next 5 weeks? Can they hold their current numbers, or will they start to slide every week like they did last season? They lost around 30% of their audience over the course of last season at one point. They cannot afford to let that happen again with the starting numbers as they are.
I’m glad the ratings for the premiere were down 26% from last year’s premiere. It’s a positive sign and hopefully just another big step in the road of cancellation. Also read how the ratings dropped every half hour that the show was on – guess people just couldn’t stomach it all.
Of course the fanboys are just going to use the dvr excuse as always.
Jesus CHRIST, your comments suck. Please try to upload the high standards of this site by not posting shit like this. Thanks!
Oops, meant to say “uphold” there. I really fucked that one up!
Honestly, I’d say that this was a legitimate argument…most people I know have DVRs now, and no one watches live TV when they could just tape it. Including me.
Lost got beat by both Criminal Minds and Lie to Me in the 9 o’clock hour, then Lost lost to CSI: New York in the 10 o’clock hour. An unnamed ABC flunky has said the numbers are “disappointing” but that they believe the audience will build and the season will “finish strong.”
And if not, they can get Ben to turn the donkey wheel and try again.
You know, I did not realize that, and after doing more checking, mr monkey has a good point, the premiere was well off last year’s total, AND down about 15+% from last year’s finale.
That’s NOT good. They “lost” a significant amount of viewers during the off-season. More fans have simply given up on the show, to the tune of about 2 million essentially from the last episode.
I was probably wrong. Their numbers were not encouraging. It HAS to be disappointing to the producers that the erosion continues.
It’s over, it’s finished. I didn’t watch because the appeal is completely buried. Shut down this site and let the show die in fanboy peace. We can watch season 1 over and over and pretend that the show ended in mysterious perfection with Locke looking down into the unknown. Doc Brown saying “Where we’re going we don’t need roads” was infinitely more valuable than Back to the Future 2 & 3 combined. It’s the same thing here. Lost sucks, and that’s a fact.
This is my first time posting although I’ve been coming to this site since 06.
I’ve been studying the posts with my mighty brain and I think that I can be of assistance. I think the common mistake made by people who are disappointed week after week by this show is that they keep “thinking.” One must suspend all logic and common sense. It is imperative to your enjoyment of the show that you ignore the fact that this is supposedly a serial and just pretend that this is a show similar to The Outer Limits where each week there is a similar theme, but entirely new characters, plots and locations. One story usually has nothing to do with the other, although occasionally the writers may throw in what they consider to be a “brilliant” zinger here and there where the characters walk by one another in the grocery store or–as in last night’s episode–one was leaving the gas station as the other pulled in.
Also pay attention to this one…this rule is up there with the “don’t feed the gremlin after midnight” rule. NEVER (and I mean never) watch this show live. Always DVR, TIVO or pull out the VCR and record it. Whenever you see Kate, Jack, Juliet, Rose, Bernard, Ben or anyone besides maybe the dog…fast forward. Nothing that they are saying is important and if it is, it’ll be repeated several times down the road before the story moves forward (3 episodes is the standard…so you have plenty of time to catch up). I usually just pick one character to focus on and fast forward until their story resumes during the show.
If this is too much for you, then there is always a better option…just watch the first 2 minutes of the show each week (The “previously on Lost” bit) and turn off the tube when it goes off.
Now, with these rules you’ll see that last night’s premiere was great. I heard that it was 2 hours, but I saw it in five minutes. Kate is still upset about stuff…so is jack. Sayid got knocked out after beating up people. Hurley got Cheech to take Sayid to Jack. Ben showed up and did his “Bolt” stare and made hurley run to the cops. Sawyer, New-Kate and Locke travel through time with Doogie Howser. This new “revelation” answers the “secret” of how the boat and heroin plane ended up on the island. And the lady dressed up like an Elemental from the Chronicles of Riddick was drawing lines on the ground in her lair probably looking for the island. Ben showed up and she scared him and now we wait 3 episodes for this to pick up.
Any questions?
I have a question: how is it that my wife still makes love to me even though at my last gyno appointment i found out that i have herpes?
I am sorry that I infected her, I was tramping it up in Marseilles during a rebellious episode in my teen years, and I managed to bring a souvenir back…
Bingo!!
I haven’t watched the episode from the 29th (?) yet but it’s probably more of the same. I’d even go so far as to say this is intentional. It’s much easier to get new viewers with an esoteric but captivating episode that actually have one that’s fits nicely in with the big picture. The problem is that by now it’s practically impossible to suspend disbelief and watch an episode as a singularity.
Wow – all the weeks or months of hype, and I forgot to watch or tape last night. And now I’m sooooo happy!
First post on this site. Found it last year. Tonight was comedic gold.
when I came down the stairs my roomate says “look Mikey it is your favorite show”
His buddy Ross on the couch asked why. I then went on about how they just walk back and forth from one side of the island to the other without ever explaining anything.
So right on que they get somewhere and Sawyer says lets go back. I think I infected them and they suddenly realized how much it sucked
Totally Agree. I saw that several times and I laughed to myself. Also, they still do the same old thing were someone asks someone else a question, and the other person says 1)they dont have time to answer or 2) its to confusing to answer. They then stare at eachother and the one person pleads for an answer while the person who could easily answer the quesion by now reiterates either #1 or #2. que scary musci, go to commercial
JESUS CHRIST! IF THESE PEOPLE WOULD JUST ANSWER EACH OTHERS QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF GOING TO A COMMERCIAL, THEY MIGHT JUST FIGURE SOMETHING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuP BoarD! Great to Be back. I haven’t posted in awhile. I just have to say that Lost has officially went from sucking to being a non-entity. I tried to watch a bit last night, and I found out that I really just don’t care. The show could end in anyway: a dream, a mental breakdown, hell, purgatory, I really don’t care. They have destroyed each character and all of the story arcs. there is nothing that they could do to make me say “wow!” I will just shrug my shoulders and say “uh”
You ain’t nuthin’ wid’out that badge and gun.
Has the great northern spotted Turkey been sighted?
I was forced to watch a trailer at a theatre which amounted to an ad for Lost where the cast explained why it was a good show-action, drama, love story-kind of like cartoon characters explaining the merits of a sweetened cereal.
Rang too false.
I will never watch again.
Welcome back Nico! Although I didn’t see it, doesn’t sound like I missed anything. Maybe I’ll catch a replay on AFN (Armed Forces Network).
CPT Preevyet on duty in Iraq
Preevyet, i never really liked you.
WOW… My sentiments exactly!
Great to see you back Nico. Sounds like you and I are at the same point – total indifference…
Sup Nico, longtime no see!
Sup Buddy, How ya Been?
Have u even watched the past seasons?? I mean for real, it’s not even exciting if u haven;t, sure they had the hour long explaining thing, but that’s basically a spoiler with no excitement or anything such as. Plus they left out many things, even if they were aiming to explain EVERYTHING(which they weren’t) then they would have done an awful job. If u actaully watched the past seasons then ok, I don’t care what u think as long as ur not giving your opinion without even seeing it all, because otherwise in your case, it’s like a joke that u don’t u don’t understand, but you tell ppl it’s not funny because what you did hear didn’t sound funny, kinda like an inside joke that ur not involved in. But again I’m not sure if u saw the past seasons or not, u just made it sounds like u just watched the hour sum up. Never judge a book by it’s cover, or even if u just took a peek at one chapter out of many.
I have watched every show and you are an idiot. This is not a fan site for 12 year olds who have decided that the correct use of English language is an option. Since I have watched every show and now simply watch for the humor in this suckfest, please respond with a half witted, text language comeback so the other people here can take their shots. Also, I seriously doubt that you have ever read a book let alone open the cover to peek at a chapter.
“Also, I seriously doubt that you have ever read a book let alone open the cover to peek at a chapter. ”
Did you mean: “Also, I seriously doubt that you have ever read a book let alone opened the cover to peek at a chapter.”
For Christ’s sake, are we nitpicking obvious typos now? Whew! Those are some crack proofreading skills you’ve got there! Get a fucking life, dude.
I think that the only reason I watch the show now is to be able to read the posts on this site. My favorite part was the multiple times we were exposed to someone not having enough time to explain what was going on. Sawyer trying to get Take off the Friggin Stupid Black Tie You are on a Tropical Island guy to explain what was happening and he just said, “I don’t have time”. Then Locke and Eye Liner Dude are fixing his leg and Locke asks “what the deuce?” and Eyliner says “I just don’t have time to explain”. If that doesn’t sum up this suckfest I don’t know what does. So, the writers just don’t have enough time to let us in why the island is hopping around or why the 6 have to go back or where the other Others are or what happened to the kids or why were the Others originally dressed up like dirty bums or what was up with Jacob but they can add a whiny character that complains about being there and then gets jabbed through the heart with a flaming arrow? I like that in the first scene they said “It is an amzing power source that can make you time travel”. Where did all of this come from? Is that our answer? Well at least the ladies got to see Sawyer walk aroung the jungle for half an episode looking for a shirt. And sorry, but I kinda got a little thang for Anna Lucia and the flash back my my pants go crazy.
i actually laughed out loud when the guy fell on those upturned knives in the dishwasher.
who puts away knives with the point up?
and what kind of super strong dishwasher door doesn’t collapse when a full grown man drops onto it. must be a Darma dishwasher.
my 5 year old son used my dishwasher door as a diving board and it didn’t do well.
the overdone camera angles and the not showing faces is moronic and such a lame attempt at building mystery, suspense and drama.
and Desmond in the suit reminded me that there was some kind of disease or something. did that ever get addressed?
if drilling into the donkey wheel energy source thingy would be bad for humanity, why are they drilling anywhere near it?
maybe these questions were answered, but i don’t remember and will just figure they won’t ever get answered.
My wife puts knives point up, have cut myself a thousand times. She claims that the part you eat off of shouldn’t be down in the dirty part (?) and I tell her it all gets cleaned so it doesn’t matter. Can’t win that one.
Doesn’t sound like I missed anything.
CPT Preevyet on duty in Iraq
more’s the pity, ‘fraid wifey won’t be entering MENSA again this year, aye mate?
better put a “special bell” on that one for when she’s loose round the house…
seriously. great. episode. It didnt matter what was shown opening day most of you would hate it.
I think the more important point is it didn’t matter what was showing opening day you would love it
Not true, if they put out a good episode I would have no problems saying it was good. It just hasn’t happened yet.
You know, at this point I think they could just show old episode of ‘The Prisoner’ and no one would be the wiser.
“The island… The Iiiiiisslaaaaaand…”
I liked how hatchet-face Kate’s face is even more hatchety this year. Seriously, you could shove a pole up her bum and split firewood with that thing. I also liked how she didn’t spend any of her off time taking acting lessons. I’m guessing when she gets her script she just starts making notes in the margins (”moody-blank-stare”, “crazy-stare”, “moody-blank-stare”, “crazy-stare”, “fly off the handle”, “crazy-smile”, “crazy stare”).
Jack is still a tool and a douchebag, and I expect this to ramp up even more since Matthew Fox has to realize by now that he’s never going to make it in the movies. (did anybody see Speed Racer? total crap.)
LOL! Too funny……
Frankly, I think Kate is attractive.
You know there was a time when pointing out all the flaws in lost was kinda of fun and waving the shows flaws in the face of its fans had an almost euphoric effect. Nowadays though it’s like beating up a blind man, sure it’s easy, but it just feels wrong. Lost has become so pathetic and misguided that it should be pitied not mocked, hell at this point Lost should be classed as a third world country and it’s writers the poor inhabitants. Charities should be setup to donate plot ideas since the writers of lost are no longer capable of creating there own since sadly they ran out of creativity years ago.
Don’t give up on the show yet. The writers might have something up their sleeves.
the only thing the writers of this show have is more crap coming out of their collective arses.
Wow – I hadn’t posted or (sorry to admit it Tyler) even really followed the board much since early last season when it seemed like most of the WhyLostSucks veterans started to drop off like flies and all the apologists started trickling in. I figured we all reached enlightenment right around the same time and had stopped watching for good.
Then on a whim (and nothing else to do at work today) I checked the site even though I didn’t watch the premiere and when I saw Nico posted, then Big Jim and Laurent, I figured I had to also.
Anybody remember when we first started posting on this site and lost hadn’t been stupid for long enough so that it was still fun to mock it? Now it has become the equivalent of that team that kept full-court pressing in a girls basketball game this week even though they were up 88-0 and eventually won 100-0…at some point its just not worth the effort to make someone look bad when its so easy.
Anyways, good to see some of the old guard popping up around here again (all we need is for JT to reappear to defend the show and all will be right with the world). The show will still suck this year but maybe this board will have a resurgence.
God I hate missing the show. I want to bash also. It sounds like this show has risen to new heights of suckiness and I’m missing the party.
CPT Preevyet in Iraq
WOW There’s another show on TV called Lost? Must be because we couldn’t possibly have watched the same premier. When I dislike a show enough to post about that dislike on a board, I don’t watch it again. Me thinks you complain too much.
Methinks get the fuck out of here, Maeve.
Hurley should have bought a bra along with that t-shirt. Serious manboobs.
Sayid doing a Weekend at Bernies/Hurleys schtick complete with moustache and sunglasses.
A bra is for women, he needs the bro – or manzierre
OK.. I’m gonna do this for every episode..
I’m gonna write out the most hilarious one line dialogue/monologue just the one line..
this week’s dialogue ..
Sawyer: Gimme that Shirt.. !!
Weirdo who wears a tie: What..?
Sawyer: I said Gimme that Shirt.. !!
back when writers wrote this part. .
“Hey let’s make Sawyer shirtless & let us make him ask for the shirt..
it would kill atleast 3 minutes..”
& Sawyer does in again..
Borrows a shirt from this new dude.. called Niel
What part of fanboy cult wants to argue that this part was significant.. ?
come on gimme your best shot.. fanboy..
It’s official Lost is a non-entity..
Just clicked on the ads as well ..
i hope the admin of this makes more money than the writers
coz he provides better entertainment on the site than on the show..
I don’t see what’s funny about the dialogue.
It’s not as necessary as other lines but it does create friction between the two characters that is more progressive as the episode goes on, which then allows Sawyer to get out how he feels about the whole Freighter explosion situation.
I just found out that Lost will play on AFN (Armed Forces Network) in Iraq Sunday at 8pm (12noon EST). I just hope that I am not stupid enough to try to dominate the TV to watch it. Then again, the Iraqis meet at night so maybe I’ll be busy, in shi’allah.
CPT Preevyet on duty in Iraq
Hope you get to see the ep, it sucked. Funny, aint seen the Meisters around here…what ever happened to them?
Just wanted to give a big shout out to all of you losers who still watch the show
Yeah, I still watch, the show still sucks (hence my new name), and you my friend…are still a douchebag
Its not my fault you guys can’t comprehend good, unique drama
Dude, it’s okay for you to like it.
But it’s also okay for them to hate it. If you want to argue, bring up actual points or something.
Don’t just say they don’t “get it”, because they do. They just don’t like what they are getting. Show them the other side of things, explain your side.
Though I totally appreciate your sentiments, I didn’t actually write the post above. Some retarded assclown is impersonating the WLS regulars. I definitely wouldn’t write some cop-out one-sentence post like that.
By the way, fuckers, the episode kicked ass. Stop denying it. I have indeed been lurking here for a while, mostly getting my kicks by trolling Raptusregaliter anonymously (HA HA HA!)
To the few people left on this board who I actually still give a shit about, hey. Thanks, Stick, for the shoutout. BigJim, you’re still a total fucking wanker, but whatever. Preev, kill some terrorists. Nico, I really don’t think that’s actually you posting, but whatever. I hope the apologists stop posting, because they’re fucking making me look bad.
So you get your kicks by trolling others? What a pathetic douchebag life you must lead.
And Lost still sucks.
Blow me, captain. How’s that for trolling?
“Blow me, captain.”
No thanks, that’s your mom’s job. But I can see how you would be confused after tossing your dad’s salad all day long.
If you would take that penis out of your butt long enough you would know that my mom tosses my dad’s salad, he tosses my salad, and I toss the dog’s salad. Then we all watch Lost and masterbate.
Ha ha! Yes! We’ve got some mom jokes! We’ve got some dad jokes! We’ve got some shit about penises! About dogs! Dis is some funny shit, yo!
drama, like me gettin with your girl?
Good to see you back buddy
You are all gay
LOST IS back.. and better than ever.. I wish to visit this site after the final episode of LOST and everything is revealed.. then I will really laugh at you..
Dream big, buddy.
I agree. This site is a joke. Allt he people just watch to say the show sucks. OMG, talk about getting a life! XD
Its clear the makers havent a clue as to where the story is going, ive just watched the first two episodes of season 5 (having watched the previous seasons) and its fair to say i will not be watching the rest of it, complete and utter bullshit. The story is a complete mess! There is not going to be a reasonable ending to it at this stage. After season 13 i just might pop onto the site and see how the whole disaster that is lost ended.
/End of rant.
Over and out,
K.O
One of the many plot holes in this episode: Desmond should have recognized the physicist when they first met last season. But then again, “the rules don’t apply to Desmond”, which means he can be placed in all sorts of illogical and ill-conceived situations.
That’s kind of funny now that I think about it. In order to make sense of their nonsensical, time travel story line they had to invent a character to which “the rules” don’t apply.
Why don’t the rules apply to Desmond? If there are rules to time travel then it would be a supernatural thing if the rules don’t apply to someone “special” right?
I wonder when the writers are going to bring ghosts into the story. Wait, they already have.
I wonder when they’re going to introduce immortality and resurrection. Wait, they already have.
Miraculous healing? Oh yeah….
Without the supernatural crap it might have been a good show. The only thing that can save it now is aliens.
These comments are really stellar, guys. Keep up the good fucking work!
It is pretty well accepted that many of the LOST cast members and crew have been obtaining and shipping some the island’s finest agricultural “products” in regular CARE packages, to the writers in LA.
As the writers share and pass the stuff around in their enclosed and unventilated room, they cannot help but come up with these “brilliant” storylines that they “just know make sense”.
I am loving these coy marijuana references!
Creative people who get high usually come up with interesting and creative ideas and artistic insights.
Like John Coltrane or Edgar Allan Poe.
I think the Lost writers are stone cold sober.
Yeow.
Don’t want to think about that man…..too scary.
Other Voices, Other rooms—a few tidbits from other Lost sites:
“Semi-Automatic guns do NOT click click click after ammo is gone!!! I just watched Sayid kill the guy who killed Nadia and he clicked like 5 clicks after ammo ran out, like Michael did to the Hurley bird. Dammit writers get a clue!”
“I’m hoping this will be explained during the new season; but why do the members of the O6 have to return to the island but not Walt? Did his tour of duty with The Others grant him a special “Get off the island for free” pass that the O6 does not possess? The same goes for Frank. Wouldn’t he need to go back as well?”
“How is this for a nitpick? Hurley zapped his Hot Pocket without the crisping sleeve. For some reason that bugged me. Maybe because Hurley should know better.”
—–”Not only do you need a crisping sleeve for a Hot Pocket, but every time I try to make one, inevitably there’s a tiny hole in the bread and cheese gets all over my microwave! That was the cleanest Hot Pocket I’ve ever seen nuked in my life!”
—–”My first thought was not “Hot Pocket” – but one of those fast food apple pie things. Remember Hurley and Sayid had stopped for fast food, and all we saw him eat was the burger and a few fries. Maybe the apple pie was left over from that.”
—–”With all due admiration, respect and love, methinks Hurley knows not the concept of leftovers.”
“Just for the record I’d like to say there is no way in this world Hugo could purchase a t-shirt from a gas station convenience store that would be big enough to fit him.”
—–”True dat. I have an uncle who is not as fat as Hurley and I know for a fact that he wears a size 4XL tshirt. That means Hurley would have to be at least a 6XL. You show me a minimart that carries 6XL tshirts and I’ll give you $100.”
JT, you used to be kinda cool, now you are just a douche. do you like to hear yourself type or something?
Yeah, dude is a total flamer
While I do think JT is a complete ass, I think the comments are a bit harsh
Nico, no one gives a shit what you think. You abandoned this board a long time ago. And now you want to come back, all high and mighty? You turned your F***ing back on us. Suck it.
take some prozac dewd
Check out my new album! Got to http://www.acousticrhyme.com/herpes/myballs.jpg
Are you retards seriously sitting around pretending that you’re OTHER posters on an anti-Lost website?
Tyler, you’ve got to be hating life right about now.
Okay, now I’m honored…someone impersonated me (2 posts up)
I think everyone who’s been here more than 10 minutes would know I would never type the word “dewd”
And I do agree that the reborn JT is a little edgier than the previous addition but he’s still infinitely more clever and worth conversing with than the douchebags who infiltrated the board during the last year.
Umm, neither one of you losers is me. The first guy who posted as me is a moron, the second guy is an ass. Everyone should quit trying to be me.
-Sticks
The same troll is impersonating me too. Oh no, whatever will I do!? I guess I’ll just have to stop posting so that I won’t hurt JT’s feelings anymore.
My heart is aflutter for your kindness, dear Raptus.
And thanks, Stick, and right back at you. It looks like most of the other regulars have been driven away by the torrent of fucktards who have started frequenting this site. I’ll have to up my game a little.
I think it’s just one lonely solitary fucktard. Look at the top of this block: 6 different “posters” in 7 minutes. Yeah, right. Tyler wishes his traffic was that good.
THAT’S NOT NICO, RAPTUS.
that wasn’t me who posted above either. Some troll is having some fun baiting people.
Does that make us friends, now?
THAT’S NOT RAPTUS, NICO.
Tyler, is there any way to put in some kind of login so the gay, acne-ridden, retarded trolls won’t be able to impersonate the actual folks on the site?
By the way, the Mrs. and I kinda liked the first episode. It was entertaining at least. The Mrs vows not to post anymore since she feels she cannot enjoy the show if she reads all the criticism. My bet is she will be back.
I suppose I could, but it would kill the whole “wild west” spirit in here
Listen up whylostsucks! This is the nWo (new World order) and we are taking over this board. My mans and me are gonna run things around here from now on, ya dig? We call the shots. If you want to mess with us, or our DogFather Tyler, you will feel our full wrath. We are gonna keep peeps in line and make sure the true message of lost sucking gets out. Here is a list of our members (they all report to me, and I report to TylerDog):
Nico “the hammer” Toscani
Big “in the pants” Jim
Stick”it in ya”Man
Raptus”latinsucks”galiter

The Acoustic Rhyme Master of Jenna Jameson’s Crotch
DON’T MESS WITH US!
-You Will here more about our plans in the coming days.
P.s. We hate the meisters, preevert, and JT
We Out Sucka’s!
Remember when this board used to contain intelligent discussions? I guess like everything else on the internet, eventually it all degenerates into porn or becomes overrun by the 14 year old losers who make themselves feel big while trolling in between planning to blow up their school to get back at all the mean kids who picked them last for kickball.
Unfortunately, the board seems to have become the latter – I could have lived with it becoming the former.
If you are so against “trolling” (which we do not do), why did you admit earlier that you have trolled this board?
Score: nWo 1
The Fake Stickman 0
That was me, fucktard. Reading comprehension is fun!
I would be just pleased as punch if you could go ahead and kill yourself.
I just got a call from Nico. He says he has picks of JT sucking Stickman off. Go to http://www.JTtheTranny.com/pics/stickman’sjazzum.jpg
Just thought I would chime in here:
i know that over the years here I havent made many friends. i know that jt doesnt like me, but i must say these nWo people are really stupid. they are a threat to the integrity of the board. my next post will probably be in the form of a rant, so JT will probably make fun of me, but whatever. for now, lay off of him
BigJim, we would like to extend an olive branch to you. join us, and we will be unstoppable.
-nWo
I don’t specifically dislike you at all. I target you because you are essentially the anti-me. I’ve actually agreed with some of your posts, though there’s no way in fucking hell I will ever admit which ones.
I also agree that the dude who’s trolling the board is a total assclown. I am totally digging his tranny post upthread though. That is some subtle and clever comedy gold, bitches!
I’m more confused as to how those pictures got out…my disgruntled former nanny must have sold them to Nico for a hefty profit.
and how did posting a site (even a fake one) get through Tyler’s filter…new theory, nWo moron is Tyler in disguise trying to revive the traffic to the board in order up his ad revenue since the show has become so bad that people can’t even muster the energy to post here bashing it anymore.
I’m not gonna lie: the exact same thought had crossed my mind.
Unless it’s BigJim, seeing as how his post above and the reply were, like, A MINUTE APART. Either that or troll dude has like zero life.
Wow I go away for a day and all hell breaks loose in here!
OMG! The name says it all………LOST
The “writers”, the characters, anyone even attempting to watch this crap….
All are LOST. I have tried since long ago to sit through even ONE episode of this garbage. Never made it through. What a pile of crap.
I just don’t get it.
Two more hours of nonsense….boring.
The only turn that would make the show cool would be that the characters realize they are on a TV Show.
They should feel ashamed instantly for it’s suckitude, but that would be cool and THE BEST SHIT would come up out of it.
That is an idea worth exploring actually. In all seriousness, turn the show into a parody of itself, having the actors and even the directors demonstrating their disgust at the scripts that come in. The old “show within a show” concept. Well used, but I think it could really work here. In essence, make it a comedy as show makes fun of its own loony-toon storyline.
That would pry the viewership from the giddy 13 year old girls and geeks and bring it back to mainstream folks.
HAHA this original post is sad. You think that because they have to explain it, it isn’t good. You guys made this site because you wanted answers and you weren’t getting any. Now when they do something to help you get these answers, or to refresh your mind for the coming episodes, you start complaining about it!! Like i said, you just look for things to complain about.
The show is getting worst episode by episode! And now a time-travelling island that moves in time and space? Seriously? My 6 years old nephew could come up with something better and more original than that!
