This is ridiculous
Jack said it best to sum up this episode, “This is ridiculous”. At which point all of America shook their heads in agreement. They start and end the show with the same scene which makes the whole middle pretty much irrelevant. It’s not even worth recaping.
There is something I have been meaning to address. The biggest problem I have with the show now, in fact it should be placed on the original top 10 list, is that no one ever answers a question. If there is ever a chance to advance the plot by one character explaining something to another, they pass. Then the other person never even has a problem with it. Need some examples?
Jack: “Hey where’s Aaron?”
Kate: “Never ask me that again!”
Jack: “Okie dokie”
Jack: “Hey hurley, why are you on the plane?”
Hurley: “It doesn’t matter”
Jack: “Ok, I’m fine with that”
There are at least 5 of those per episode, and they seem to be growing in frequency. So now we have the sucky plot element that will heretofore be called “the non-answer”. These can easily be counted and tallied each episode, much like “the gun cocking” is presently. Actually that would make a good drinking game.

In typical Lost fashion, one question gets answered but by the end a handful more were raised.
WHERE’S THE SUCK-O-METER?!?!
9.2 out of 10. I’m too apathetic for graphics anymore.
Jack: “How can you read?”
Ben: “My mother taught me…”
You’re mother died giving birth to you, you fucking sack of shit. But the writers of this show are too clever to let an error that prevalent slide by without it becoming part of some retarded twist. Ben’s mother is the island. Somebody stuck their penis in the island, thus producing Ben, who was plopped out of the ground. But…right before we find all this out, it flashes back 2000 years and Jack has to give Jesus the Holy Grail.
edit: I realize Ben was joking…but so am I.
best comment ever! LOOL
“You’re mother died giving birth to you, you fucking sack of shit.”
HAHAHA!! thats great
In the immortal words of Benjamin Linus – “Who cares?”
This ep wasn’t even interesting enough to be funny.
What in the world was that crap that we just witnessed? I know we’ve seen our share of bad Lost episodes, but on the “nothing happened” factor this one is a 10 out of 10.
The old lady explaining that the island is always moving was pretty silly. The sets of Trek Classic looked more believable than that one.
Jack had to change Locke’s shoes! Add that on top of some whiny Kate scenes, some overly dramatic Jack scenes, and a pointless plane ride which ends with them being beamed down on the island somehow. Isn’t it funny how they build up the last few episodes with 3 of them not wanting to go back, yet they all miraculously end up on the plane because of some convoluted plot twist.
Oh great now we have to go through some more jungle treks to find where the rest of them beamed down…
And the rest of the season will be filler episodes: Kate’s story – why she wants to leave, Sayid’s story – how did he get on the plane – Hurley’s Story – how did he get out of jail and back to the plane – Ben’s story – why is his face kicked in YET AGAIN – Hell, they can not advance the plot for 5 more shows easily.
By the way – how much more “Popping Jin” do we have to take? First, Jin pops up on the wreckage. Then, Jin pops up to Sawyer and the gang. Now, Jin pops up to Jack et al. in his Dharma gear. Next week – Dharma has Pop-tart with Jins face on the box.
Oh my God, you forget Locke! And maybe Desmond! Hooray! Season 5, the filler season! This show is genius! Damon and Carlton are probably laughing they’re asses off right now. It’s ridiculous.
Previously on Lost:
Why does Jack’s grandfather appear to be the same age as his father?
LOST
And how convenient that he happens to have Jack’s dad’s shoes and happens to call Jack just when he needs them :-p.
It’s destiny!
lol…
actually, that’s kind of the point.
Jeeeeeezis fucking FUCK!
Are you fucking *kidding* me?!??! The island is constantly moving through space and time!?!?!
Ok, then how in the name of Zeus’ BUTTHOLE was the Dharma Institute able to shuttle people and material back and forth on the submarine for YEARS?
How was the Gay Other able to get back to civilization to see Michael, and then return?
How were the Others able to kidnap Locke’s dad so Sawyer could kill him?
Didn’t Richard make it off the island quite a bit, and even saw Locke as a young boy?
If the Dharma people and the Others were moving back-and-forth at will, that sorta puts a little kink in tonight’s story line now doesn’t it?
And so now we’ve gone from Ben being able to come-and-go from the island whenever he pleases to being forced to take a ride in an airplane to replicate a set of circumstances he wasn’t a part of in the first place. (Remember, he was watching the Oceanic plane break up from the ground)
This could very well be THE most intellectually insulting episode ever to disgrace television. A new low, and that’s saying a helluva lot for this group of hack writers.
Not to mention the fact that originally the writers said that in the end everything would be able to be explained without “the supernatural” (or some such garbage).
chalk that one up there with “we have the whole story planned out ahead of time.”
“Several of the more common fan theories have been discussed and rejected by the show’s creators… [;h]owever, it should be noted that previously discredited theories, specifically involving time travel, have gone from being categorically denied to heavily incorporated into the series, thus other discredited theories may be in play.”
FUCKING A
Well the “scientific explanation” concept was thrown out at least in season 3 when Desmond could see the future. The smoke monster could have been “hard sci fi”, i.e. technology that does not yet exist but seems to be feasible in the not too distant future, namely micro- or nano-UAVs.
But the writers CAN go back in time and change what they said about the nature of the show! Look it up! They will say that the show “will be explained by a convoluted yet logical expansion of time/space theory and will be consistent with any of our explanations.”
Which, addressing one of the above comments, explains how Jack’s granddad is only five minutes older than Jack’s dad. They are both Ben’s children. As are all the Losties, and the plants and animals of the island, and the Puppets who operate the Game, which is the Origin of the Island.
You’ll see I’m right at the end of all this crap.
Who the hell hasn’t been to the island or known its location?!
Even the US military knew where it was in the early 1950’s according to a previous episode.
“THE most intellectually insulting episode ever to disgrace television”….
The whole series is intellectually insulting but yeah, this episode was really, really bad.
When the DI came the built the Swan. After that, it stopped moving. When the Swan exploded, Widmore used the lamp post and found the island again.
Doesn’t make sense but it’s LOST.
Nice try. When the Dharma Institute was drilling, they saw the wheel on the other side of the rock. So the wheel that supposedly moves the island was already there when Dharma showed up. If the island had stopped moving for decades, what use would it be to have the Lamp Post? The Others and Dharma already knew where it was, right?
Absolutely asenine.
Maybe the wheel moved it into time and not in space or something? That something else moves it into space?
So how, exactly, would Dharma and the Others know when in time to return with the submarine, etc.? The whole concept of time shifts and “that’s the reason you weren’t rescued” is so effing ludicrous based on the past 4 season that you wonder if anyone writing the show has even bothered to watch previous episodes.
Locke gets to hang himself next week. Talk about the perfect metaphor for this show.
I would like to say Hi! to Nicholas Cage under inspiration given by the comment…
Nice catch….
um, the looking glass had a constant beacon that they followed to and from the island in the submarine.
yep….
jackass
No…..
The looking glass was very clearly set up as a way to FIND the island as it moved through time. There was no effing beacon, it was done with a series of equations. Did you see the fucking chalk board you god damned moron?
Constant beacon….. Please. Get a fucking clue. You’re actually trying to write shit into the story line that does not exist to make excuses for the fucked up writing? The Dharma people were constantly moving back and forth (in a frickin’ submarine, no less!) without flashes of light and mystical portals.
Fucking meathead.
Nice try but you failed.
The looking glass was that underwater station where Charlie drowned. Try to get your facts straight before you write these idiotic responses.
So who’s the moron now?
You got me. Moron right here. ^^^^
As bad as on-island scenes have gotten–the gun cocking, the jungle treks, the unending number of Dharma stations/unseen structures…the off-island “drama” is ten times worse.
The biggest reveal? The island is “moving” through spacetime and there is some ultra-secret formula that can find it! Yay! The island is basically a parallel universe ala “Narnia” (which is referenced undiscriminately) or “Middle Earth.”
I used to think the writers were clever in inserting these literary references. I’ve done a 180. The writers are idiots and don’t have an original idea. All they do is borrow ideas from other works of fiction and claim to be “alluding” to them. They’re not. They’re plagarizing.
Ridiculous is the right word indeed. The only person that did something rational was Desmond, when he told Jack that the old lady was full of c***p and just walked away. If I was there, I would tell Ben and the hag that I wouldn’t play any more games without FULL explanation of what’s going on. And I would simply stood there until I got that explanation, and if they refused to give it to me, I would walk away, just like Desmond did. I’d have to be completely insane to board a plane that was supposed to CRASH without a clue of what’s going on! If the island and/or the people on it is really in danger, then why don’t you tell me all the details so I can better prepare for what I’m supposed to do? But oh no, they say, you don’t have to know anything, just make a “leap of faith” and hope you don’t get sucked into an engine like one of those poor guys in season 1. And if they wanted to lie anyway, they could at least come up with a cover story! Anything would be better than “just trust me, you have to go back, for reasons that you don’t have to know”.
I wish that Desmond had slapped each one of them. After seasons of trying to get out of the island, now they are trying to get back on the damn island!!
I kept hoping that Desmond would get slammed by the moving pendulum as he kept walking back and forth across the map! Now THAT would have been awesome!
LOL! Same thinking. But I kinda like Desmond, I would much rather see the pendulum hitting Jack or Ben.
Ha! Yes, I agree – multiple times!
The big Desmond was not on flight 815!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes lost sucks no need to debate, i wanted to like it. i tried but battlestar galactica is so much better. after my last attempt to take this show seriously all i can say is why bother with this turd.
Can’t wait for everyone to post the ratings!
I counted one where Kate asked whats going on and before Jack could “attempt” to answer, the phone rang!
+ double, in the church :
- what did she say to you jack?
- nothing that matters…
then :
- who is she?
- Thomas the apostle.. [talks about the painting]
+ lapidus ask ‘they’re not going to guam?’ – No answer ( end of act )
And we can all kiss goodbye another hour of our lives…
Yeah, this whole show has been planned out from the beginning. That’s why the producers have already decided to flip show 6 for 7 (or maybe 7 for
and run them in reverse order. Because, you know, it makes more sense that way. Or something. You can always tell how well-written a show is when they run the episodes out of order and it makes absolutely no difference.
And how about this week’s cliffhanger? Jin in a jumpsuit driving a Dharma VW microbus and cocking his carbine. Really makes me wanna come back next week and see what THAT’S all about.
Hey Tyler, how does the numeral 8 (eight) turn into a smiley face w/o any html tags?
OK, I get it. I’m a dumbass. Moving along…
I know I am a fool, yet
- I still wait and watch every episode of LoST.
- I visit the forums, nod my head at theories.
- I crib and crib but still am eager to know what happens next.
- I agree that lost sucks, still argue with my hubby just to watch it.
I know I got it bad when I still hope that everything will come to a satisfactory conclusion at the end of it all.
I think Locke had the right idea.
lol, nice.
Is Jin Korean? Were not Mr. and Mrs. Jin Japanese? Is he a trans-asian? Jin the magical Korean. Now he is working for the Dharma fucking thing way back in the past. They should have put ballet slippers on Locke. Magical shoes. That explains everything, its fucking magic. LOST, the magical fucking TV show. I may not be able to watch anymore of this shit.
Yes folks be sure to remember, whenever you have a problem with the massive holes in the plot and bizarre moments of deus ex machina just say to yourself “…a wizard did it.” You’ll feel much better about how terrible this show is…
LOL, that Simpsons ep is a classic.
Deja Vu all over again. Recycled from the crap bin.
That was vintage Alias (at its worst) all over again. In the intro we see Sydney stab Vaughn in the guts and toss him into the ditch. Then we get the “72 hours earlier” text bar and the rest of the episode works up to that moment. Wow Wee! Except there’s none of that, all anti-climax. Actors going through the motions.
On the plus side – no Sawyer grimaces or gun’cockings.
I guess the big surprise is just how “blah” the episode was based on all the hyper-hype we were getting prior from ABC and Darlton. You’d think they were crapping out gold nuggets based on what they’ve been saying these last few weeks. However, the tv ratings say otherwise.
Darlton are currently debating the order of viewing for the next two episodes. In their mind it would be “cooler” to show the later episode first.
Why bother, shit1 > shit2 or shit2 > shit1 ? Shit is shit. Best piece of advice to them is to hire a new director and head writer.
And ditch the contaminated snort they’re buying from overseas…
Gee, this episode could serve as a new tv-series using the other seasons as flashbacks.
Fucking soap-opera.
“I’m sorry Mr. Reyes but you’re going to have to purchase 78 seats to accommodate your fat ass”
Totally laughable. So bad that I would argue that Darlton are actually engaged in self-sabotage.
An airline would let someone like that on board? In the real world, Shitsu’s action of buying up 78 empty seats would have set the terrorist alarm bells off.
The last time we saw Sayid, he said “Pray that we don’t meet again because I promise you it will be unpleasant.” OOOO! So scary and ominous…
He seemed pleasant enough to me. What a pussy.
The real action is with Rose and Benard. I’m in a tizzy just dying to find out what they’ve been up to. Are their dentures time traveling with them too? So many questions.
Rose and Bernard broke off from the other group to have a little “jungle fun”, but now are desperately seeking Jack because Bernard’s erection has lasted for more than 4 hours, and 3 time shifts.
LOL!
Well done.
Sayid was being held in custody, imprisoned in handcuffs by a marshal. He had no opportunity to carry out his threat.
I wonder why a US marshal would be escorting Sayid from the US to Guam.
That doesn’t make any sense.
This doesn’t happen very often, but for one time, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU!!!
And with all the missing parts we have now, looks like the rest of season 5 are all going to be flashback episodes. (Locke’s part, Sayid’s part, Kate’s part, Hurley’s part, Sawyer en co.s part and maybe Desmond’s). The rest of season 5 will probably be suckier then ever…
OK, can someone please enlighten me as to why the 6 have to go back? Like just about every other twist, I can’t remember why they need to go. Did we ever hear anything other than “the people that stayed on the island are in trouble and everyone needs to go back”. And I think this came from crazy ass Man Boobs Locke. Now this may sound harsh, but if I crashed on Lala Island with friggin Polar Bears, smoke monsters, crazy bush people stealing kids, having to crap in the woods, living on a beach etc……and I was able to go home, I could care less about a bunch of people that I have only known for 2-3 months. Screw them, I think I’ll just stay here thank you very much.
One reason is “because they weren’t supposed to leave.”
Or how about Christian telling Locke the only way to “save” the island is to get the O6 back.
How stupid do the writers think we are. The only reason the O6 left is because they were forced to land in the ocean after Ben “moved” the island after the threat of the mercenaries was already alleviated.
The only people stupider than the writers are the characters who can be manipulated at a whim to do anything Ben/Ms. Hawking wants at request. It is becoming nausiating.
This may have been said, but all 6 did not go back – Aaron was left behind. Will that matter? Probably not – this is Lost after all.
Lost doesn’t have rules anymore. It tries to make them to keep continuity but fails when they need a “plot twist.”
Oh my god!
I wanted to be the first one to quote Jack who says something right for once. “This is ridiculous.” and now I see its in the title of this weeks blog entry.
Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ, eh?
Oh well, back to watching the episode…
“Wherever you are John, you must be laughin your ass off that I’m actually doin this.”
I bet the plane will crash just as Jack starts to read the letter.
Oh, wrong.
still, nice try
And next thing he sees is a sea burning and a lighthouse to the right. Now I would love to see O6 in Bioshock setting, that would some nice carnage.
Could someone please post and analyze the ratings? I’m dying to hear everyone’s thoughts on those Nielsens!
Once they drop and hold under 9million, ABC will shuffle it off to the Saturday afternoon graveyard timeslot and let Lost duke it out against Murder She Wrote reruns. Just like they did with Alias.
Apparently the ratings were up this week, but barely beat Lie To Me. I was under the impression that Idol would be going up against Lost at 9 but turns out it was against the repeat at 8.
Ratings were up, but Lost still got hammered by Criminal Minds. Plus, the show has a huge problem ahead. On March 11, Fox is moving the American Idol finals to 9 pm so that they will be in direct competition with Lost for the rest of the season. Don’t see how Lost will ever again get 10+ million after 3-11 unless they start yanking the show around (and pissing off even more fans). Even worse, Lost and AI both score strong in the coveted 18-34 & 18-49 demos. Once AI moves, Lost is going to start losing big in both total viewers as well as the coveted demos. The show still won’t get cancelled, but it’s going to keep losing it’s relevance and will have to be propped up more and more by the ass-licking media sycophants (hello, Entertainment Weekly!).
What the hell was that crap? Why didn’t Siad slap the shit out of Ben and the old bitch and get some real answers. How gay looking was the room with the pendulum. The computers with big lights and buttons were from Plan 9 From OuterSpace.
Back in the old days when I actually liked this show, I used to pause the TIVO and look at things for clues. (Sorry forum friends…I am a recovering Lost Tard…credit given to the screen name here with the same moniker) Now I could really care less but I still paused to look at the 1970’s style chalkboard in the whirly-do room. Are there any math people here that can let me know if this scribbling was actually math? I liked the squiggly lines and little chalk pictures but they look like they were done at the last minute. “Hey intern….grab some damn chalk real quick and cover this old chalkboard with something that looks like it matters.” I’m sure the fan geeks have looked it all up and it is somehow related to the great pyramids or aliens or some obscure literay reference but my head is now tired………feel sleepy and cold…….bye now…..
Oh by the way – any guess as to what it in the guitar case that Hurley has? Most people will probably think it’s Charlie’s guitar or something, but I think its filled with Snickers bars since Hurley knew he was going back.
Making fun of fat people is fun!
30 year supply of insulin with packaged needles plus Snickers bars
Where are the children?
Wasn’t Turniphead supposed to be important to the island? And Walt too? How come THEY don’t have to go back?
Where are all the black people?
You know, I was just wondering the same damn thing! The first three seasons were practically drivin by Michael’s and Walt’s storyline (remember? back when the show was actually good–though weird–and a little creepy?) But, of course, they’ve since been dismissed by the writers (like most of the intersting plot twists) and I’d bet that never comes back up. My guess is that Walt grew up too much which wouldn’t allow for flashbacks (the only way the writers know how to solve plot pitfalls.) Or maybe there were personal reasons for the actor who played Walt to leave the show (the writers aren’t always able to control everything when it comes to actors and their needs.) But whatever. I just as soon assume that Michael’s not dead. This IS a fucking soap opera. Maybe Michael will come back as a vampire… or better yet, maybe we’ll find out that the Michael who shot Libby and the cop chick was really the real Michael’s evil twin and THAT’S who died on the freighter… and then it will be Ta-da!! Here’s the real/good Michael-twin! He came back to “save the island”. Jeeez… the writers really stink.
Last night’s episode was one of the worst I can remember. They only repeated the beginning at the end because they couldn’t figure out what else to write. Nothing but refried ass. But the best part WAS that damn pendulum!! What’s it hanging from, a UFO? And I LOVED that lady’s history lesson on “the lampost” (fucking thieves.) It was built “years ago” by a “clever man.” What the fuck? Gee, that must be the most in-depth history lesson ever taught. Oh, and don’t worry, I’m sure Aaron is either already on the island or stored in the coffin with Locke or something totally ridiculous. There’s no way that Aaron isn’t going back to the island with the rest of ‘em.
And as confusing and chaotic as the series is, it’s painfully obvious that the writers remember even less about prior happenings than the viewers.
I don’t know… let’s see what’s in store for the next episode, but I don’t know if I can do this for much longer. Those guys must be afraid of success or something. They certainly repel it easily enough.
I think the actor who plays Aaron realized how bad the show is and decided to bail.
Um, do a little research. Walt will be back next episode. His story will be finished, don’t you worry. You guys can’t all be this dumb, or can you?
This last show was AMAZING!!
You guys wouldn’t know a good show if it bit you in the butt.
They are BACK on the island!!! And it only took like 5 episodes. That’s quite an accomplishment by the writers to get everything off-island wrapped up so quickly.
And the PILOT ofthe plane was the SAME GUY who flew the helicopter!!! Whoa, that’s so weird. How are all of these people so interconnected, it’s unbelievable.
Now that they are back the O-6 are back they can find the other Losties and have a reunion. I’m sure Jin will recognize the others (not the other others but I meant Jack, Kate, and Hurley) and take them back to a darhma tent and explain the Darhma initiative.
What happened to Aaron!!! I’m on the edge of my seat for that one. If Kate doesn’t have him, who does? I bet she gave Aaron to his grandmother!!! Remember how she was in a previous episode? Ingenious idea to tie that together.
We are about to get a whole bunch of answers and a whole lot of action. Hold on to your hats!!!
I can’t tell if you are serious or thats just really good satire.
It’s impossible to tell fake Lost fans from real Lost fans.
And you guys who complain about them not answering questions must know very little about SUSPENSE!!!
If every question were answered there would be no suspense, and hence, no show.
Which is more suspenseful:
“Where’s Aaron?”
“Don’t you EVER ask me that again, do you hear me!!!!!??!?!?”
or
“Where’s Aaron?”
“I gave him to his grandmother, he really should be with family and I didn’t want to take him back to the island.”
Which conversation is more suspenseful? Which puts you on the edge of your seat? Which leaves you thinking “Whoa, I gotta watch to see what happened to Aaron?”
If they answered the questions the show would suck. The reason the show is the most successful drama EVER is because of these unanswered questions.
Next week we get to find out why Locke killed himself. That will be amazing.
I can’t wait for the suspense as they drag out his decision on whether he should go through with it or not for 50 minutes. Will he kill himself for the island or will he chicken out? Is he really a man of faith? What demons is he struggling with? Is he still upset about his father stealing his kidney? When he dies will his spirit be sent to the island to help lead the losties in their effort to save the island?
I can’t wait to find out the answers to these questions.
On what psychiatric in-ward is Lost “the most successful drama EVER”?
Suspenseful? Try dumbass. I’m not sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what happened to Aaron, I couldn’t care less. Why? because I hated Charlie. The episode he killed himself, and yes he completely committed suicide, was the beginning of the end for me. Everyone kept calling him a hero and I wanted to throw up. What’s heroic about running to the door and slamming it shut instead of just leaving that room and then closing it? He didn’t help them get away because they just jumped into the water and swam up anyway. It would have taken an hour for the entire place to fill with water. I’m not bitching too much cause I was happy to see him bite the dust but it was done in the worst way possible.
On another side rant the island can’t be too hard to find seeing as how there are about fifteen different steel structures on it with a new one being added each episode. So either there’s a steel refinery on the island to begin with, they import it from the mainland, or the show just plain sucks.
I was annoyed by that episode, too. I liked Charlie, though. (He’s a hobbit!) But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why what he did made any sense. It’s like Desomond said, “you’re going to die” and Charlie’s like “okay” and drowns himself. The writers must be meth-heads or something. Nothing in this show has or will make sense. And I’m sure they’re going to end it in the lamest way possible… It’s all a dream of Widemore’s and when he wakes up he decides to go ahead and let Penny and Desmond marry so none of his dream really happens…. Nah, that’s probably more interesting than what they’d come up with. Paycheck please!!!
I thought this was funny, too. Yesterday I was told I must be “off my rocker” because I said I thought Ben was more than pointless and just damn annoying and should be killed off the show (should’ve been long ago.) That person said “Ben Rocks!” and that he plays an “important role.” Right. Not even the island wants him. Why is he still around? Oh, right, to give us those ever-suspenseful stares we yearn for all week long and to not answer even more questions.
Ben is still around so their is some dip shit to cock a gun at. As for the end of the show Locke has to go back to realazation to pay for the coffin and as we fade to black forever we see him clicking the heals of jack-ass sheapards daddys shoes crying theres no place like the island theres no place like the island!!!!!!!!!!!!! PAYCHECK & EMMY IN HAND THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you guys forgotten the love quadrangle?
Jack – Sawyer – Kate – Juliet
Now that Jack and Kate are back how will this quadrangle be resolved?
Will Kate go with Sawyer, the bad-boy and bad-girl combo?
Will Jack and Juliet find love because they understand each other on a docter to docter level?
I can’t wait for Jin and Sun to reunite!!
>>Have you guys forgotten the love quadrangle?
That’s not important right now.
Now that Jack and Kate are back how will this quadrangle be resolved?
>> It doesn’t matter.
Will Kate go with Sawyer, the bad-boy and bad-girl combo?
>> Never ask me that question again.
Will Jack and Juliet find love because they understand each other on a docter to docter level?
Who cares?
LOL! Excellent!
you forgot the gun cocking
LostLover, you are truly amazing. Talk about suspense: I don’t think any of us can figure out if you are being ironic or serious. You give less clues about your true intentions than the show does.
My hat’s off to you. Well done.
Okay look, I’m sick of all you asking about the children. It brings back bad memories. One day during season 1, Carly C. was 30 minutes late fetching me my usual 50, 50-dollar, 50-dollar 10-feetlooooooongs. I wasn’t singing the song. He always brings me 50 50-dollar 10-feetlongs for lunch. I get pretty cranky when I don’t get my 500 feet worth of tuna salad with ranch and bacon, oh yeah and lettuce to keep things healthy. So I was starved. And there they were. Those cute kids just sitting there like little appetizers. Next thing I knew, I bit off their heads, thinking that the hair would be a good source of fiber to help fill me up while I waited patiently for my sammiches. I was slightly embarrassed when Carly got there 5 minutes later, but look, the families got compensated okay?! Abc is giving them free health care for their next batch, up until 9 years from birth, AND it’s coming out of my paycheck. Okay? Done deal. Now quit asking. I did my time. And I paid the ultimate price: pay minus 10 percent. Now piss off.
Fat jokes are the funniest! Ha ha ha! Keep up the good work! Let’s make fun of mentally handicapped children next!
Well after I bit off their heads, those children certainly were mentally handicapped! Yayyyyyy!!!
FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf is that bunch of crap not one DUDE OH AH DUDE in the whole comment. WOW I scream FOUL or for ice cream ah ya somthing like that…
Didn’t watch all the episode, could be wrong, but the pilot looked like a different actor to me.
Here’s my desperate lost fan theory as to what the show is really about now. All of this was just leading up to the conflict as to whether or not aaron has to go back. He originally came as a fetus inside claire so the rest of the show will explore the true beginning of human life, thus resolving any debates over the ethical issues surrounding abortion and embryonic cloning. The remaining 25 or so shows will follow the attempts made by the survivors to deconstruct the meaning of “human life” and where along the growth cycle it begins. Once they decide on an answer they will present it to the smoke monster who will analyze the data and tell them if they are right or not. Furthermore, the smoke monster will explain that the numbers are the integral components of a series leading to the equation which will explain the remaining mysteries about the universe, most importantly how gravity is so much weaker than the other three fundamental forces. The monster will then go on to explain that “adam and eve” are really aaron and sun’s babyand that why and how this is possible is not important right now. It will go on to say that the four toed statue was actually a creation of the monster himself to remember the four-toed, six-fingered man who killed the monster’s father. Ever since death of his dad, the smoke monster has been crashing planes on the island in hopes that the four-toed, six-fingered man will be on one of them so smokey may have his revenge, at which point he will say in a very perplexing spanish accent, “my name is smokey inigo montoya. you killed my father, prepare to die.”
Haha i dont know i just get the feeling that the writers are arrogant enough to actually think they will come close to this. Fuck this show
just watched it, i guess the pilot guy just shaved and looks really different now
i thought the episode two weeks ago was the worst ever but it this week is far and away worse than any other. there were so many ridiculous things about this show i don’t even know where to begin. everything that happened on the plane was absurd. a guitar case as a carry on for a man that bought 78 seats to himself? that many people who show up for a flight counting on a standby seat? no one on the plane asked ben what the fuck happened to his face? no one at the airport thought it was strange that 5 out the 6 famous O6 were on the same flight? the pilot acknowledges that something is up and they probably aren’t going where they are supposed to and goes along with it? “you must recreate the conditions of the original flight as closely as possible” what the fuck?!?!?! i think what she meant was only recreate the things that people still care about, meaning 5 out of a hundred people, and a dead guy’s shoes. i mean seriously how close to the original crash did they really fucking get? I’ll give them 7 instead of 6 because the guitar case probably does represent charlie, but there were still a bunch of other people who i guess are just inconsequential because they weren’t given any lines. so dumb. have they found an even worse way to introduce new characters? i can just see the writers sitting up in their ivory tower discussing how to complicate the plot even further through the addition of new characters. “let’s see we’ve done it by having people already there, people somehow showing up, o wait i know let’s just have the main characters who got off the island crash another plane back onto the island with new people.”
it was made by a clever man, haha yeah that’s a pretty clever explanation
i mean honestly you had to know it was coming but this one was so much worse than anything else it’s hard to believe it actually made it on the air
Your post sucked, as usual. Please shut the fuck up.
Locke is wearing magical shoes.
The comment by I Killed Locke was actually very good.
Are you hearing voices BTW? The comment was typed, not spoken.
Strange that you would tell I Killed Locke to “shut the fuck up”.
Do the voices come from inside your head or does it actually sound like someone is talking to you?
Sweet creeping CHRIST that was even worse. You took the phrase “shut the fuck up” literally? Please buy a clue. I hope your head doesn’t explode when you realize how utterly unclever you are.
Multiple personalities too.
Hmmm….
You are a very troubling case.
Your lack of any worthwhile posts is pretty troubling, too. You seriously might want to stop replying and save some face.
Is this personality number three?
next time you insult someone’s intelligence try using big boy words instead of something a third grader would make up like “unclever”
Are you guys aware of how much penis you suck?
I guess the original storyline ( for 2 or 3 seasons) included a “reboot” with all the characters going back in time and flying once again in the 815…
The writers got stuck in their own web of nonsense, and they are nevertheless trying to recycle this idea in the crappiest way possible.
Im back baby
In the preview of the next episode we see Locke preparing to hang himself. I’m not sure but I think it is because of the shoes.
One time, I hanged myself because I didn’t like the belt I had. Obviously it was low quality since i’m still here
You overlooked the fact that stupid Jack looks at the suicide note Ben had previously given him and says, “I’m not gonna read this I already know what it says.” Really?!? What if it had an actual reason why you’re supposed to go back to the island which no one ever seems to ask. Instead he stuffs it into the coffin like a complete moron. Then when security gives it back to him he says outloud, “I feel like Locke wanted me to see this.” What gave it away Einstein? The fact that it’s a suicide note or that it has your full name on the letter. Give me a fucking break. There’s not a character I hate more than Jack. Here are a few of the other reasons:
1.) He gives a long drawn out speech every chance he gets. If you ask him where you can get a sip of water he starts talking about his Dad. It’s a fucking yes or no question Jack I don’t need you to recite the Decleration of Independence.
2.) His “drinking” problem. Just so the writers of the show know I’d like to say on behalf of everyone “we get it.” You don’t have to have sixty empty booze bottles rollling around his apartment at all times. I know plenty of drunks and they are typically funny, violent, or womanizers. Jack is not any of those.
3.) His tattoos. Enough said.
Heh, heh, if that wasn’t bad enough…..
I understand if you ever met Matthew Fox, you would like him a WHOLE lot LESS than the character he plays.
Yeah, the tattoos. This season sucks worse than anything, but the tattoo episode was just awful.
Previously on Lost:
If Hurley bought 78 seats so that the plane would be empty and prevented the flight attendant from boarding standbys at the gate, then why was the entire back half of the plane full?
LOST
Whatever happened to the “army” that Jack asked Ana Lucia to create for him?
Why was Ben’s face so bitchslapped raw when he got on the plane? Why didn’t anyone comment? Hey dude, is the rash contagious?
How many quarts of 10W30 does Sayid use on his hair? Same with Hurley?
LOST
Ok I know this has nothing to do with the topic but I just found out about this website and I want to rant about shit that has been bothering me for a long time.
Extras
Any time an extra speaks up for the first time he has just sealed his fate. Within the hour of the episode that person or persons will undoubtedly die. The fat science teacher with the dynamite, margo and that hot girl (although a cool episode it was a filler that did not progress the story one bit, they were never talked about before or after that episode), and most recently the deusche bag that got hit with a random arrow that was never explained along with countless other extras that were being massacred for no apparent reason. Now these are just a few of the extras I can think of but it happens to every weirdo that was allegedly in the background the entire time. I’m not even pissed off about it because it just makes me laugh at this point. I urge anyone and everyone to include all other extra deaths that you can think of so that we can begin a Hall of Fame for these unsung heroes of Lost.
this could all be explained without relying on the supernatural in just one way … it’s all in Hurley’s head.
ddddd
THE PROBLEM WITH LOST IS THAT IT NEVER RECOVERED FROM IT GLORY DAYS. WHICH WERE SEASONS 1 AND 2. EVER SINCE THE START OF SEASON 3 THE SHOW HAS GONE DOWN. WHERE CAN I BEGIN? KILLING OFF THE ENTIRE TAIL SECTION OF PLANE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A USELESS CHARACTER LIKE BERNARD. KEEPING JACK, KATE, AND SAWYER PRISONER OF FAR TOO LONG. ADDING NIKKI AND PAULO, KILLING OFF CHARLIE IN THE STUPID WAY THAT THEY ENDED UP DOING IT. INCORPORATING FLASH FORWARDS THAT GAVE TOO MUCH AWAY, ALLOWING SIX IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE TO ISLAND ONLY TO RETURN IN THE VERY NEXT SEASON, AND ON AND ON. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT SEASONS 3 4 AND 5 THAT’S DIFFERENT THAN 1 AND 2. THE TONE OF IT I GUESS IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT. OR ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN IT. THE FOCUS BEING SHIFTED OFF THE OCEANIC SURVIVORS AND PLACED ON THE OTHERS WAS THE FIRST MAJOR DOWNTURN FOR THE SHOW. THEN THE OTHER LARGE DOWNTURN FOR ME WAS SOME LEAVING THE ISLAND. FROM THE PILOT DAYS THE THING I LIKED MOST ABOUT THIS SHOW WERE THE CHARACTERS AND THE MYSTERY OF THE ISLAND AND WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AND WHOSE GOING TO SURVIVE UNTIL SEASON 6. ALL OF THAT SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY ENDED A LONG TIME AGO AND IS NOW THE PRODUCT OF NERDS WITH STRANGE IDEAS IN THEIR HEADS AS THEY WRITE THESE LATER EPISODES. LIKE OTHER SHOWS I USED TO LIKE UNTIL THEY WENT SOUTH IT’S TIME TO PUT LOST OUT OF IT’S MISERY AND END THE DAMN THING ALREADY. EVEN IF THE ENDING IS SHOCKING AS THE CREATORS PROMISE IT WILL BE, THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN TO GET THERE ALONG WITH HOW THE SHOW IS NOT INTERESTING ANYMORE IS JUST NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE!
I love this discussion I too thought this show has lost the plot since series 4 they built up the whole marines coming to the island and there were only like fucking 4 or 5 of em and they were pretty easily taken care of and the end result was very anticlimactic and the worst series finale IMO. The whole deal with locke needing to kill himself is fucking stupid and the way rose and bernard seamlessly vanished from this series is utter garbage did they put any thought into it what so eva its like you all say this writers totally suck and they actually think the shows good I saw a LOST special with the writers talking about how great and suspenseful the show is.WTF the show has one the most ridiculous unexplained plot eva. Anyways loved this discussion some funny comments. BOTTOM LINE “LOST has lost the plot.
Dear Internets,
I shall now complain about crap no one in RL actually cares about: After watching the first season on Hulu a while back I decided this show was a piece of crap and didn’t watch it any more. Seeing that the final season is airing, I decided to watch the 8 min recap video ABC made to catch up and maybe give the finale a shot. Wow…. only 8 min and I want to blow my brains out. You guys are all bitching about the retarded writing and wizards explaining the unexplainable, but you are all watching it. You are watching one of the most retarded ass fucking shows on TV. Bitch more and keep watching. Congratulations America. Lost made it what, 5, 6 seasons? But a well-written, well-made, and hilarious show like Arrested Development gets cancelled after only 3 years. Awesome.
