He’s our you
Damn. OK, I missed another one. I am NOT giving up on you guys. I am have 3 episodes in the Tivo bank to catch up on. I was planning on watching the 2 shows tonight, but had a chance to go out with some friends and had a great dinner and bottles of wine. So please discuss here and I will jump in when I catch up. I’m sure it sucked though. Maybe 9.2 on the suck on meter? Am I close?

Well, you didn’t miss anything significant at all. Just your standard Lost fare, “answer one thing then ask five more” crap from the writers.
At least the hot ass bounty hunter chick didn’t have a flashback episode of her own. Wait, the season ain’t done yet. I spoke too soon.
sayid shot and killed a 12 year old ben.
no new questions were raised except why a burning dharma van drove through the barracks.
and also, do you know what a troll is?do you realize no one on this planet likes them? every single point you have against lost is invalid and just screams “TROLL”. do you know what trolls have to do? GTFO
its been 2 years or so since ive been on this site, i was curious if it still existed.
now you say things like “they cocked their guns 10 times! this show sucks!”
its as if you want your ass kicked, but since you hide behind the internet theres nothign anyone can do
You are probably the toughest guy on the internet. At the very least top five.
your comment was funny at all, if anything it was embarassing. i took some psycology classes last year in college, and i have to say some of you guys have some kind of compulsive disorder. for example, i watched an episode of greys anatamy, didnt like it. tried to get into it just couldnt.so, i stopped watching it. i didnt go off, visit a site every week to complain about it (or make a site). i just stopped.
also something that has started to bother me is every show/movie now a days is copying off of lost. one movie that comes to mind is that one with the numbers that predict the end of the world. ahem… 4 8 15 16 23 42, remember those? the core factrors of the valenzetti equation that predict the exact number of days and months before the world ends — thus establishing the DI to try and change the numbers~~
and whats with all these shows that come on after lost each year, they all get cancelled right away. they try to put lost clips in between them to gain viewers they are all so desperate, and try to mooch off of lost’s success
My comment was “funny at all?” Not really sure what that means. However, I’m glad to hear that they offer Psychology at Junior college, congratulations. I’m curious if you skipped the chapter that explains why someone who likes the show comes to a website “every 2 years” for people who openly hate it? You didn’t like Grey’s anatomy so you stopped watching it. You didn’t like this site two years ago so you stopped… oh wait… your back… disproving your own points.
you made fun of someones grammar on the internet, how original
i came back to the site out of curiousity if it still exists – then left a comment. after im done talking to you i have no plans on coming back
anyways our conversations ends here; i have been awake for over 24 hours and would really like to sleep. goodnight
“our conversation(s) end(s) here”?
Well Lance I was talking to lets dance so technically our conversation never began. However, I was actually making fun of how ridiculous he sounded by throwing psychology around when clearly he has no grasp of the field. Furthermore, I realize you’re trying so save some face by declaring that you won’t be back. I must say that its wise decision by you, probably the first one of your life, seeing as how in a battle of wits you are clearly unarmed. It’s obvious that you will continue to read these web posts. Hopefully, you’ll go back into the shadows where you belong as an observer.
“lets dance”
you took a psych class in college? Really? it must have been a good one for you to be able to come up with such an intelligent and thoughtful diagnosis. All of us have “some kind of compulsive disorder.” It’s called a superiority complex, genius. Making fun of this retarded show makes us feel a little bit better about ourselves. Big fucking deal. All of you idiots think you’re so smart by saying things liek “Oh, why do you watch it if you hate it?” Acting as if there’s some sort of integrity associated with tv watching.
o, the ironing
“lets dance”,we all know that, its just amusing watching this guys posts
I kind of miss the time travel aspect of the show, the flashes and all.
I have to admit I’m loving this season a lot more than 3 or 4.
And best of all, Sayid killed a chicken!
We all know ben isnt going to die. He’s “special” and got shot ONCE on the island. who hasnt?
Please don’t ever post again. Thank You
Translation “please don’t point out flaws in Lost, I can’t take any criticism”
What the hell is wrong with you guys and critisizing..you guys a too pathetic..actualy watch it just so you can critisize it..if you are so bothered with it why dont you make your own series or something.why do u waste your time watching the damn thing..maybe you can try reading reviews and that critisizing..cos nothing positives gona come out of u guys anyways..
Nice English skills you tard!
so another big lie from Darlton: whatever happened, can happen differently
Previously on Lost:
Young Sayid “proves his manhood” by snapping a chicken’s neck.
Adult Sayid takes an acid trip from “Our You” and tells the Dharmites he’s from the future and so is Sawyer.
Only one Dharmite inquires about this “Sawyer” fellow and the others immediately tell him it’s irrelevant.
Sayid breaks the fourth wall by saying “when I returned to the island I realized the whole thing was pointless.”
Everyone in my household exhaled an “Amen, Brother.”
Little Ben breaks Sayid out before his scheduled next-day execution by igniting a building with a flaming van.
Sayid–the Iraqi Special Forces guy–knocks out Jin–the Korean hit man–with a flip and one punch.
He then shoots little Ben square in the chest.
LOST
still no word on:
the four toed statue, the missing kids, WAAAALT, Rose and Bernard, Claire, the magic box, how the young french chick is holding up, why Libby was in the nut house with Hurley but sane enough to give desmond the boat, what the hell the “others” (ben’s group not the “other others) wanted with the island, why Claire was kidnapped and injected, the voices in the woods, why Whitmore couldnt just use his limitless power to follow the Dharma plane to the island when it made food drops…
but we still have time.
Also throw in… how a group of about 40 was able to build massive metal structures all over the island w/o any construction equipment (must have taken a lot of submarine trips to bring the steel to the island) , why can’t anyone get pregnant on the island, why did Ben steal Russo’s kid (probably couldn’t get laid), why having a zoo, of all things, was on the Dharma initiatives to-do list (they really went through all the trouble of bringing a polar bear to the island just to look at it?), how did Ben know everything about Jack instantaneously when they first met way back when, what in God’s name was the point of Sawyer saying he was a French explorer named LaFleur other than to have that “moment” in the episode where someone unexpected shows up (never speaks French, has a southern accent), what is the significance of Hurley’s numbers?
Here is one for the list:
-Why did the original Others dress up like bush people? Weren’t they the only people on the island at the time of the first plane crash? Let’s dress up like muddy pigs and stalk around in the jungle until we start dragging kids out of their group. WTF! Do you remember when they found the lockers with all of the wigs and clothes? Any purpose to this other than to make the viewer think for awhile they were savages. No explanation, no reason, forgotten in the plot, etc. etc. etc.
There are more than 40 or so people. They hire in construction workers. We saw a batch of them building a station in the first few minutes of the premiere.
Look up zoology. It’s an actual field of research. If this still gives you trouble I suggest you address your complaint to the scientific community who viably study animals in cages all the time.
It’s becoming slowly implied that Ben knew about everybody due to them being there when he was a child. May not pan out, I’ll get back to you if it does.
The young French chick isn’t around in this time period.
The rest of your points are valid!
There’s a very good reason that Sayid shot (and killed?) Little Ben: it can only be that the writers had a panic attack when one of them came up with this storyline, because they realized that had Ben seen Sayid in the past, he’d surely have known and recognized him in the hatch when he got his ass kicked. And, of course, we know the writers back then had no fucking idea whatsoever the show would morph into this absurd storyline (because how could they have expected the network to give them millions to keep this show on the air another fifteen seasons?), so they reasoned that perhaps what happens in ONE PAST does not have to change the future. Another explanation for this (incredibly boring) episode is that it’s just another case of horrible writing. Take your pick.
I was going with the explanation that this kid really wasn’t Ben at all, but just some random kid Sayid shot because his name was Ben. How is Sayid sure that this is the same Ben anyway? Did he even mention his surname? No, Sayid just shot the boy based on his name, Ben, which incidentally is quite a generic name to begin with.
Who thinks of this rubbish?
Dammit! My comment wasn’t added for some reason:
It’s possible that you Lost-junkies are actually only addicted to watching people stare. Try this as your “methadone”, if you will:
youtube.com/watch?v=OjmUduvaRx0
youtube.com/watch?v=EET6lYJqnro&feature=related
It didn’t work for me, as I am still a lostard, but it might for you.
OMG this episode was so fucking boring that words cannot express it. It wasn’t even funny.POintless flashbacks, pointless plot on the island. So Sayid killed Ben. So what? It was obvoius that the past will be changed, darlton lied about it of course. This episode sucke so much ..9.9/10 on the suck-o-meter.
by the way, Ben was shot in the heart, so he should be dead. but this is lost , so probably he ‘ll live. Another lame twist is coming..
Fuck Lost!
Since Darlton are so fond of “borrowing” ideas from other stories, I’ll bet we’re going to find out than Young Ben’s heart was two sizes too small, and that’s why the bullet missed it and he survived.
Do you think that someone should tell Darlton that, since Ben is alive in the present time, there is no dramatic value to shooting (killing?) teenage Ben? What exactly is the point? Oh…right… now the fanboys can go “OMG, Sayid killed Ben! But how is he still alive now!? I must come back for all future Lost episodes to see how they can bring Ben back to life! This is the greatest show evah!!!”
I agree. This episode could not have “sucke” any harder. It was totally “POintless” in every sense of the word. It was just a bunch of “obvoius” “POintless”ness all round! This show is for dipshits who can’t even speeel rite
sorry for the grammar. I’m a recovering lost viewer and my brain suffered a lot of damage in the past 5 years.
please, stop watching lost. you are all completely insane i swear to god. what ithe hell is wrong with you guys, SERIOUSLY. read your comments, realize lost is on its 5th season (the season that wasnt suppoed to kick all you hicks out of lost fandom), then come to a realization that you are all lonely losers who want to pick on a show (well i should say ALL), then just go on with your lives. actually, there is something i reallylike. this particular something i like so much i am very jealous. I am so jealous, that I always bash the videos on youtube about it.
so i can relate, you all love lost so much you are jealous that nothing this brilliant could ever come out of your pathetic little minds? its ok to be jealous sometimes. now, go on and bash this comment, it seems to be the only thing you guys are capable of here, bashing.
I love you man. I won’t bash you because this site is all about love and respect. We are all lonely losers here but it would be nice if you could give me a hug now. I apologize for coming to this site but it is something I “reallylike…….particular something i like so much i am jealous”…..wait a minute….what the hell does that mean…Oh screw it, you are an idiot.
Again, we’re at “lostsucks_com” because we hate the show. If we’re losers for doing so where does that leave you? A beat off that takes the time to read every single one of our posts only to say how good lost is, if its so gay why are you wasting your time here? Quit living bicuriously through the website nerd.
You know, diifii is right – remember when why lost SUCKS was all about complementing the show? Heck, we used to say how brilliant the creators were and how fascinating each episode was… ah the good old days. It made me wonder why the site was called Why Lost SUCKS and not Why Lost is Brilliant, Magnificent, and Legendary.
Now look at this site. Except for the trolls and ignorant fanboys, all the people ever write about is, well, Why Lost Sucks.
Ben is not dead …whatever happened remains ”happened”
This episode was ok, I guess.
My biggest complain is, again, how easily the losties understand and accept the fact that they went 30 years back in time. The O-6 know nothing about the wheel, the flashes and so on but nevertheless everything seems perfectly normal.
In “he’s our you” Sayid understood instantly that he was in the 70s because a young boy named “ben” visited him.
Wow. You are exactly right. How the heck did Sayid know the kid was a little version of Benjamin Linus and that he was in the 70’s? How the heck would ANYONE know that, let alone accept the fact that they had traveled back in time?
Are you seriously suggesting that the characters in the story don’t talk or interact at all while time passes and they are not on screen? A normal person would think:
“hmm… maybe Sawyer and Sayid had more conversations where they hashed this stuff out than just what I was shown.”
Yeah. How would Sayid possibly infer that they were in the past. Would it have anything to do with a bunch of guys in Dharma overalls running around in the once abandoned barracks, driving around in their blue vans and him being shoved in the storage cupboard for a research station that he first hand witnessed explode violently?
PORBABLY NOT THIS SHOW IS FOR MORANS etc
Well, it’s certainly not the first conclusion I’d jump to, especially if I’ve never time-travelled before.
Shooting young Ben was the most and more or less the first reasonable and logic action to happen since Jack’s “How long do you think it would take to train an army?” in season 2 (which by the way is pretty much the exact final cut, that marks inescapably the beginning of the end of LOST’s great potential by the decision of the writers – against any human common sense – not to have the Losties continuing to work on this plan to become a reality).
I actually agree that this was shockingly poor.
Lost is # 1 you can’t do nothing about it or nothing to nobody.
“It doesn’t matter” as I don’t have to. The writers are doing pretty well on that themselves
right on my tard bro. lost kicks ass! ya keep it real fo all da peeps here bro. we aint can’t do nuttin to it nobody cuz no it da….sorry, I have to go to class now… your bro,

Why has our ubiquitous troll decided to adopt a Mexican personae? Not getting enough hate as it is?
Me not troll. Me referencing funny movie….check out IMDB.com…..Me Pedant…..see Lostard last week who named me…..arghhhh……Brawndo has electrolites!
I’m honored.
personae is the plural form of persona, imbecile. proofread your posts before you write them.
You didn’t capitalize the “p” on “personae” and “proofread”. Not that I really care, but you seem like the type that might care. Incorrect spelling and grammar is not a bad thing, though. Typing and speaking are both tools in a human’s repertoire; they are forms of communication used for just that — communication. And although I respect your affinity towards the subject, I am obliged to say that you are a complete and utter dumb-ass.
More to the point… well, I really don’t have a point. I guess that makes me a dumb-ass as well.
i would like to congratulate you on the worst post in this site’s history. i think it’s pretty clear that the lack of capitalization there was a stylistic thing. you probably knew that when you wrote your inane reply, but i figured i’d clear it up for some of the mouth-breathers on this site.
by the way, that’s “incorrect spelling and grammar are not bad things,” jackass.
I just want to apologize for my previous outbursts on the subject of “grammar” and “dumb-ass”. You are not a dumb-ass, my friend. You are probably a kind person full of a vitality and youth the likes of which have never been seen for ages. Very respectable. What isn’t respectable, though, is sand. It’s so gritty and sandy and gritty and brown, like a Quizno’s Sub. I’m sorry if I’ve offended anybody by that crude statement… I really do like velocity.
Anyways… hmm… Lost is a silly show that I find highly amusing. It’s fully of doom and doom, but not so much so that one may find themselves going on a Grand Crusade to the bathroom. Holy Crusaders are such silly people, but not quite as silly as cheese. Oh, how I love the sound of CHEESE! It almost sounds as good as the sound of a twelve-year-old Benjamin Linus collapsing on the cold, hard earth after being shot by a drugged-out Arabian man. Well done!
WELL DONE!! That is how all meat should be cooked.
OK, this has been bothering me.
According to the “Law of Conservation of Mass” matter “cannot be created or destroyed”. This means that the only reasonable explanation for the existence of everything is that everything has always been here, or never has. So, if everything has always been here, then time has always been here, which means time never began. Similarly, if “matter cannot be… destroyed” then it will always be here, which means that time will never end. So basically, time looks a little like this:
- Time is a never ending line that stretches in both directions for infinity.
If this is indeed true and not just bull-sh*t, then I must pose the question; who the hell is Waldo and why are we looking for him?
Also, if time is indeed infinite, and Waldo is in fact an “undetectable entity”, then everything that is physically possible has already happened infinity times… and will happen again infinity more. Let me explain this idea drawing from the infinite monkey theorem. The idea is that a monkey tapping random keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually type out the complete works of William Shakespeare. This is absolutely ridiculous and anyone who thinks believes this should go to Hell… unless the idea is actually a metaphor for something more tangible, which it is. The monkey is a metaphor for the random generation of numbers and code in a given context, in this case a secluded room, that are generated for an infinite amount of time.
Every number and every possible combination of numbers will eventually be generated — it is inevitable. Similarly, if time is infinite, everything has already happened an infinite number of times and will happen again.
More to the point… well, I really don’t have a point. I guess that makes me a dumb-ass. All I’m trying to say is that whatever we do has already been done sometime during the existence of everything. That’s it. Now… where the hell is Waldo?
No, whew, your exactly right. I was just kidding. Honestly. I’m sorry.
Wow… I completely understand you.
From dictionary.com: personae: A voice or character representing the speaker in a literary work.
Glad you’re now publicly confirming that you’re just as stupid as we all thought you were. Bravo ubiquitous troll.
jesus christ, dolt, do i have to correct everything for you? i’ll go ahead and copy and past the ENTIRE dictionary.com entry for you.
per·so·na (pər-sō’nə) Pronunciation Key
n.
1. pl. per·so·nas or per·so·nae (-nē) A voice or character representing the speaker in a literary work.
2. personae The characters in a dramatic or literary work.
3. pl. personas The role that one assumes or displays in public or society; one’s public image or personality, as distinguished from the inner self.
i was curious if you knew what “pl.” means. let me know if you need help deciphering it. here’s a hint–it’s short for something.
and yes, i know i forgot the E in the word paste above, but that doesn’t change the fact that you now look like a drooling retard who can’t even decode a simple dictionary entry. more than before, at least. do your research before you try and shut someone down, dumbass.
Ha! I like Laslat’s idea! Ha!
lieutenant obvious: you are obviously such a fucking retard that arguing is pointless, but you might want to know that personae is perfectly correct to use when referring to a SINGULAR speaker in a literary work. That you are too fucking stupid to know this—and keep trying to argue the point—makes you the one of the dumbest fucking retards on the internets.
BTW, you can prove anything if you only copy and paste what you want.
are you fucking bent, seriously? the above post didn’t use the word in the context of a literary work, dumbshit. it was used in the context of “an individual’s social facade or front.” and in that context, it wouldn’t be “perfectly correct to use” personae. you would use persona.
moron. read the fucking post and then try to argue your point again, idiot.
I could agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
People might take you more seriously if you first mastered capital letters.
Idiot.
you got owned, PhD in English Lit.
Funniest string in a long time. Laughed out loud. Laslat, your rants are extremely entertaining. Please keep them coming. I also love the back and forth regarding the correct use of our little English language. Now..this back and forth is why this site used to rock. Maybe we can keep it up. Making fun of people is fun!
Google “adopt a personae” and see all the responses you get. Lazarus and English Lit are right; same troll using different names is WRONG.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary also shows that sad troll is, wait for it, a really stupid fuck.
Give it up dude. You lose. Game over. All your base are belong to us.
first off, if you google “adopt a personae” in quotes, you get 8 results, which doesn’t exactly scream correctness, imbecile.
because i apparently have to post reams of evidence to shut you up, i’ll go ahead, AGAIN, and post the entire set of definitions from the online M-W dictionary. read them. seriously.
Main Entry:
per·so·na
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural per·so·nae, personas
1: a character assumed by an author in a written work
2: plural personas [New Latin, from Latin]: an individual’s social facade or front that especially in the analytic psychology of C. G. Jung reflects the role in life the individual is playing — compare anima b: the personality that a person (as an actor or politician) projects in public: image
3: plural personae: a character in a fictional presentation (as a novel or play) —usually used in plural
definition 3 is the one indicating that personae is usually used in the plural. and as you can see, it’s used in the plural ONLY when you’re referencing a character in a fictitious work, like a novel or play. that is not the context in which it was used in the fucking post, retard.
now seriously, stop. fucking everything points to you being wrong. stop trying to argue an incorrect point.
Keep wasting time moron; it’s the funniest thing in the world to see you making shit up, misinterpreting definitions, and still thinking you’re right. You FAIL.
Now why don’t you adopt the personae of a sane person and crawl back under your bridge.
you seriously may want to return your PhD in english lit. there is not a single shred of evidence anywhere on the internet that points to your absurd contention being correct. the best you can do is fire back with “YOU’RE WRONG”, claim i’m making shit up (where?) and saying i’m misinterpreting simple definition. keep talking generalities, dude! debating specific points can be tricky, huh?
any retarded person would look at the M-W definitions i pasted above and interpret them the same way. guess why? BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG. i’m not going to reiterate the correct points i made. you’re incorrect. give up. or not: it’s kinda fun to watch you try and defend your inane post.
Hey dumbfuck: look at definition 3. It says “usually used in plural.” Does it say “always” used in plural? NO! Does that mean it CAN be used in singular? YES!
When you pwn yourself with your own research and still refuse to acknowledge that you’re wrong, you earn the title of stupidest fucktard on the internets. Congratulations.
jesus christ. i ADDRESSED this point already, dumbfuck. i will use capital letters to drive the fucking point home, as you are clearly not going to shut the fuck up about it.
DEFINITION FUCKING THREE refers to people IN A LITERARY WORK OR NOVEL. COMIC PERSONAE. if you can rip your head out of your anus for five seconds, you will see it DOES NOT FIT THE CONTEXT OF THE ORIGINAL POST, WHICH DOES NOT TALK ABOUT CHARACTERS IN A NOVEL OR PLAY.
SERIOUSLY. GIVE UP.
Your latest non-point is based on faulty logic (i.e. it’s a distinction w/o a difference), but you’re too stupid to know it. BTW, when someone comes here and pretends to be a different character (what the OP was implying), then personae works.
Sorry you are too stupid to grasp this, but please TYPE IN ALL CAPS SOME MORE. MAYBE YOU WILL GET A HEART ATTACK AND DIE AND WE WILL FINALLY BE RID OF YOU.
Idiot.
I liked the handheld stun gun that knocks Sayid completely unconscious after one short burst, but I’m not sure which part I like more: the fact that this is completely ludicrous, or the fact that handheld stun guns weren’t even around in the ’70s.
Kudos Gregg Nation. You earned your pay once again.
Sayid getting knocked out by the taser was truly pathetic. Not only did he get knocked out, but he was out cold until they dragged him into the jungle. The Jungle interrogation scene was equally laughable. First the super villain Ben is a super dork, and then their interrogation guy is some weird old guy. So much for creating a sense of fear.
man chut up they must have had military stun guns even in the 70’s think about it.
Hey, I thought you’re dead!? So H8er Boi’s theory is correct! Imagine: Mayby your heart capacity turns out to be 316 milliliters instead of the average 815. That would be soooo brilliantly clever of the writers!
They “must” have had them? Really? That’s going to be your argument?
i said chut the hell up
And I’m telling the Losties to finally talk to each other for 4 years, but did they listen?
They had Sayid kill Ben to please us since if he’s dead, season three four and five never happened.
On topic, this episode was a little better. At least it’s explained why two of them went back, however lame the reason. Kate loves Sawyer….whoop de doo. Yet she lives with Jack and raises Aaron with him for awhile.
Sayid meets coincidence, what a tack on.
Then there’s the fact that Darlton said they were through with the flashbacks this season. Guess when they need a plot device they need a plot device. Too bad.
Good point.
See, I knew Ben couldn’t die. [Real] plot for the next episode “Kate goes to extreme measures to save Ben’s life when Jack refuses to help. Meanwhile, Kate begins to tell the truth about the lie in order to protect Aaron”
So Jack will save him. How stupid is this.
absolutely fucking stupid. They play this trick for the 100th time.
eg: Mikhail, Keamy, Locke, Naomi, Jin, etc.
“[Real] plot for the next episode ‘Kate goes to extreme measures to save Ben’s life when Jack refuses to help.’”
At least Lost is Green. They do lots and lots of plot recycling.
like the chicken killer sayid scene was the same as Eko killing the old man. They ran out of ideas, poor darlton.
What I’m waiting for is the elaborate con that the dying teenage Ben will engineer in order to “trick” Jack into operating on him. You know, JUST LIKE THE LAST TIME!
I’m pretty sure that dr.Jack ’s gonna save him. What a drama omg omg!
It is interesting that we tolerate fanboys on this site. That’ the difference between us and them. On other Lost sites we are not allowed to write anything. But the fanboys keep coming back here, which is a bit boring as they are always writing the same thing: we are losers because we think that lost sucks. Please fanboys, come up with something new , or go home!
Contrary to all the above posts, I actually liked the episode. Or maybe I’m a sucker for Naveen Andrews
. I loved his acting – both his drugged and non-drugged versions. And there were a few funny moments from him -
————————————————
Sawyer – How do you feel?
Sayid – I’ve just been served a sandwish by a 12-year old Ben Linus, how do you think I feel?
————————————————
“Because I am from the future.”
————————————————
Oldham – Maybe I should have used… half a dropper? Oops.
Sayid – You used exactly enough, HA HA HA HA HA!
———————————————–
Love Sayid
.
Wanted to add that I liked Sawyer’s funny moment too –
Three years and not one burning bus. You guys are back for one day…!
Hehehehe
).
BTW what’s with Sayid and dangerous chicks? He keeps getting hit by girls he’s attracted to. The poor baby!
sorry, dee. the regulars here are not interested in opinions that differ from their own.
Sayid is probably best actor today. Sawyer is up there too.
I kept waiting for Darryl and Darryl to come out of the teepee and help Larry force Sayid to drop acid, but it never happened. Damn you Darlton!
Does this show suck or what.
Jeez it can’t get any worse.
The good thing is that the suckfest is gonna stay on track.
Sayid gets suckered into the same trick by that woman that he pulled on someone a while back? The writers really know how to get creative and make their characters look stupid. So much for not having flashbacks this season because they are back and more pointless than ever.
Every knuckle dragging fanboy is drooling over Sayid shooting Ben but they are too stupid to realize that it won’t change anything in the show. He’ll be back and life will go on. Let me guess, the writers will somehow have him get a dharma heart transplant and the new heart will make him evil.
And as i asked a few weeks ago, what exactly is it that dharma is supposed to be doing? They’re supposedly in the planning stages of making all the hatches, yet all we see are a bunch of people living like a cult, and sitting around doing nothing. I mean it’s like dharma does nothing more than repair VW vans. They don’t look to smart to be scientists either, but just a bunch of bumbling fools.
btw what the hell happened to kate? I thought she looked ok in the first few seasons, but now her face just looks fudged up. She resembles a rat now. She should go hit up the botox parlor with ms Botox and get a 2 for 1 special.
And how about the fact that Kate is now the newest member of the Dharma motor pool? I guess having these two broads doing side-by-side oil changes will give them plenty of time to not share information. But they can talk about that dreamy Sawyer—and stare—for hours on end.
Yeah…their first topic of conversation:
Kate: I heard about you and Sawyer (stares)
Juliet: I didn’t know how to tell you without telling you to stay away. (awkward stare right back)
WTF? So Kate, you are flashed back to the D.I. in the 70s where Juliet has been for 3 years and you can only talk about Sawyer? That is the most important thing? Not the fact you TIME TRAVELED? Not the fact the Dharma Initiative is mysterious and dangerous? LOST is a joke.
a giant one.
God, that irritated me to no end. I mean there was so much to talk about – Aaron, Sun’s child (And Juliet was ssoooo concerned about that before Sun left :-p) and time travel. They have been apart for 3 years and the top priority is Sawyer? God give me a break. I think only Darlton actually care about the soap opera and live stories.
And they never talk about what matters. if I crashed on an island with a bunch of people, I might not tell them about my past, But if there was something strange happening, I would go running and tell them. But well, lost logic (yup, pun intended), is that!
That was hilariously retarded, as well as Sawyer not telling anyone that Horace and Radzinski etc were going to kill Sayid.
and… how about the fact that it is now out the closet that juliet is a doctor (due to the fact that she delivered ethan) but they still have her on auto shop duty? dont you think they might have given her a promotion?
Don’t worry about it. It’s not that difficult to build a series of underground chambers completely wired with electricity, water, and structured with reinforced steal… I mean it’s just so stupid. From what I gather there are about 40-50 jagoffs that work at the Dharma Initiative. Now let’s go on the low end and say out of that group 15 are women. You mean to tell me that 30 dudes built all the different stations throughout the entire island? With what equipment? With what materials? That would be a tall order for the Amish let alone a group of “scientists.” Give me a fucking break.
Well we know that they can use those stick-shovels and their bare hands to bury a dead man in about 10 minutes, so there’s that…
After he reincarnated from his shoot to death Ben suddenly magically mysteriously got laser beams shooting out of his fucking eyes. That’s how they built those different fucking stations. Think before typing! It’s soooo easy!
))
Nonsense! My money is on super strength given by the smoke monster to those who have enough faith in the island
“And as i asked a few weeks ago, what exactly is it that dharma is supposed to be doing? They’re supposedly in the planning stages of making all the hatches, yet all we see are a bunch of people living like a cult, and sitting around doing nothing. I mean it’s like dharma does nothing more than repair VW vans. They don’t look to smart to be scientists either, but just a bunch of bumbling fools.
Yeah waht gives with that.
DI job is to do whatever it takes to fill the plot holes dugg in season 1 and 2
- build a random number of stations with no real purpose. Put some guys in it.
- discover time travel
- have problems with babies
- fight each other so they have different groups of hostiles…
- work on black smoke monsters
- etc, ad nauseam
it was a very good episode! better than the one’s before
the thing with ”ben is dead…and not” is not a twist, because he can’t die…we
already know that
I like the fact that Simon, really really tries! …sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s just pathetic
of course it is not a twist but they want to sell us as a twist for 8th time. This is the only show where a little guy shot in the heart won’t die. After all, on a show where peolpe just resurrect, it is not even surprising. It is just ridiculuos.
forget the locke thing, as I said it’s not a twist for the people who watches it often and understand’s the concept off ”what happened happened”.First off all he was not shot in the heart, more in the chest, second it’s a tv show(in movies rambo killes 100 people, or remember that movie with adam sandler when he shot’s a cop in the head and the cop survived)
and Simon, eko killed a man and Sayd killed a chicken…it’s a different concept, whatever!, don’t say they ran out off ideas, the main problem with the show is introducing new ideas and more plot’s to the overall story
for riley: they are just workers, they aren’t the big brains
I was a very good episode, the bentham episode was a bad one.I am a fan off the show, but i’m not stupid and blind, i’m here because when I’ll find plot holes I’ll tell, like who was the economist, in the end… and for Sayd to realize he is in the 70’s, only for hearing ben’s name,… yeah you’re right
“eko killed a man and Sayd killed a chicken…it’s a different concept” LOL
quote of the week
Absolutely! But I would go so far to say post of the week! Hahahaha
Well Alexey I didn’t watch the episode so I have no idea if it was good or not. But you saying that they’re just workers and not the brains still doesn’t explain a single thing. It’s an impossibility for those 40 people, no matter how good of workers they are, to build all those structures on the island. Particularly, in the 70s. However, I was just poking a little fun at the show. Because its the least of Lost’s problems. If you like the show I’m happy for ya. You were probably the last one of your friends to believe in Santa Claus too.
I wish the time travel would come back with the statue now.
quote of the week
)
it’s like explaining to a child, tell me Simon are you a child, did you understand
that killing a chicken it’s slight different than killing a man
did you undrestand that the concept of the 2 scenes was totally the same? To show how these 2 guys became killers? Right?
I didn’t mean to offend you, I just found that sentence funny. Lost is funny, anyway.
k I do get it now…let’s move on to the next bad writing
okie! what about eating in the dharma center? And what are they talking about? Suliet? The are not even suprised that they are in the dharma in 77. And Kate doesn’t even know why they came back. Aron was taken from her and she came back. Good logic.
You guys do know Locke will be coming back right? Probably next season.
he is coming back for the last few episodes this season.
Who doesn’t know that?
But of course they will try to make all dramatic like. I’ll go out on a limb and put it as the final scene in the finale episode – Locke appears out of nowhere says “Hi, Jack” cue suspense sound and rotating lost logo…….
omg cliffdropper of the year.
Oh another one by you:
Hmm… Ok… yeah. So what? …Oh wait, now I get you! Man, you opened my eyes! Due to that brandnew additional gamechanging suitably placed here intel all the incredible holes in logic, that are constantly revealed here are disappearing as they now clearly fit into one great ingenius plan!
Please start replying with solid arguments if you want to convince people here that they misjudge LOST, with arguments and logic or all you do is giving a further example for the correctness of the impression that sill loving lost and the inability to apply logic deliberation (in this case in a discussion) is directly linked (q.e.d).
Actually I wonder about that.
I heard about the time O’Quinn walked off the set one day in a huff ( this might have been last season ). He did not return all day.
I guess it was mostly over pay, as he is at the bottom of the pay scale as far as the rest of the actors are concerned.
I thought that was hilarious that he did that. He is supposed to be one of the very few nice people on the set.
I kinda sensed his attitude has begun to go downhill….much like Naveen Andrews, who bashes the show and the writing. O’Quinn has become a recluse and doesn’t make public appearances anymore on Oahu, and he doesn’t seem to like being around the rest of the cast. I suspect he might be dealing with other private issues, but the bottomline is that he has apparently become an unhappy camper. Albeit, an unhappy camper that still accepts his paycheck.
If memory serves, TOQ bashed the writing as early as the S2 finale.
Among other things, what separates him from the rest of the cast is that he’s a really good actor.
When I still cared ’bout this freaking show, I was one of the losers who sat for hours and tried to “make sense of it all”; man…
I did however came up with a theory that is somewhat scientific (that is until they introduced the time travel concept).
basically it involved nanotechnology and it taking over people. so the black smoke either can resurrect bodies and take over their minds (Jack’s father, Locke, Young Ben, non-ageing Richard and so on);
OR actually assume the shape and memories of people (so, for example, all the Losties ARE dead and on the bottom of the ocean).
It is quasi-scientific, but the time travel just made the show ridiculous.
and even if it is the “secret”
is it worth waiting 6 seasons for? hell no.
maybe (maybe!) a miniseries or a feature film, but not six freaking seasons.
Damn Mikey, that actually sounds like a pretty good show. I like the nano concept thing. Put this together and I might watch it. Just try to explain some of it in the first few episodes so I don’t waste 5 years watching shit.
yes , it sounds 10 times more interesting than lost. you should send it to darlton or jj asshole..maybe they make another show based on your idea.
by the way, lost was meant to be a mini-series with 12 episodes. Of course, they planned everything from the beginning lol.
LOST could’ve (and should’ve) been wrapped up in a pleasingly consistent package after 2 or 3 seasons and gone out on an up note.
But the convoluted anticlimax of bad sci-fi continues.
Lost does indeed suck.
you are so fucking right
the word is that the show is indeed looking at a budget cut to make it to the last season, and the production is strongly considering moving out of Hawaii, back to LA to finish this sad piece of crap. They are using less and less of the Oahu backdrop, so it makes sense that they might as well take it back to the studios.
Its sad, and kind of embarassing to watch this production limp and stumble to a close.
You are right, they should have wrapped this thing up a long time ago.
and the camera work seems to me worse and worse every week
Is anybody familiar with the terrain of Hawaii? When Sayid is building houses in Costa Rica (or wherever the hell they claimed it was), isn’t that Diamond Head clearly visible in the background?
It may just be some generic outcropping (and it’s probably CGI anyway), but it looked so much like Diamond Head to me that I thought Darlton was making an obvious Zucker brothers joke.
oh man i can’t wait to see how much more shoddy Lost can look with an even smaller budget. It already has special effects that make saturday morning kids shows look like something made by ILM. They should just find a park in California and film the whole show in there.
I bet ABC is pulling their hair out because they’re stuck with this show.
OMG 8.82 millon viewers this week.We can reach 7 million by the end of this season! I hopw it gets cancelled!!
)
Yeah, now that it has dropped under 9 million, I’m really not sure how low it is going to go. There doesn’t seem to be an end to the fleeing viewers.
this is the donward spiral
this blog has gotten phenomenal! we have six regular posts! let’s take a look at our heavy hitters, folks! we’ve got:
1. SimonAdebisi, who literally posts a poorly writen message every five minutes. all of tyler’s ad revenue is coming from you, buddy! nice going!
2. uncleM, whose sole contribution to discussions here is some bullshit about ratings. every single fucking week.
3. raptus! actually, though raptus is an asshole, his posts are generally pretty good.
4. mr. monkey, who misses the bitterness fiesta on television without pity.
5. lazarus, who hates fanboys and wants them to die.
6. riley. i don’t know much about him, but i’m pretty sure he is a giant walking penis.
posts suck this week too, folks! fuck your mothers!
LOL
stfu jonathan swift alias.
You are waste of time
and a waste of oxygen.
swift:
thank you for reading us every 5 minutes!
Tell your fanboy friends to visit this site.
Bye
I know I’m not regular, but I do post once in a while you know. I wish you could have given me a wee bit of credit ;((. Mommmmmmmy
(.
Hey swift dick, take some time to look up Oedipus. The mother comment was a little dark. Do you need a hug? I love you man. This show and your childish rants still suck.
Swift was that supposed to be funny? Or are you trying to flirt with me?
Also, when criticizing someone else’s grammar:
1. SimonAdebisi, who literally posts a poorly writen message every five minutes. all of tyler’s ad revenue is coming from you, buddy! nice going
You may want to use spell check because when you don’t it really weakens what you have “writen.”
jesus. i don’t know where to start.
riley, that was a typo, idiot. the difference between my messages and simon’s messages is that i manage to not sound like an escapee from a sanitarium for the mentally retarded. nice try, fucko!
dee, if you want me to fucking target you, i will, but i generally troll people who have their heads up their asses, and you do not qualify at the moment.
large beer, way to pointlessly bring up oedipus. no one’s impressed. i’m still trying to figure out what the point of your message was. did you have one?
simon, i hope you respond to this message with something clever and funny!
uncleM, you are, and will be, an utter fuckhead. but you don’t need me to tell you that!
Frederick, who are you and why are you talking to me?
Hey! I’m an asshole, but my posts are generally pretty good.
“Dear Diary, you’ll never guess what happened today…”
Is Ferdrick Fanboy and Jonathan Swift the same person???/ Oooohhh, might be a future plot on Lost. My point was that you are a dick.
I guess I’m going to have to make the over/under pick even lower. That’s another 3% loss in one week; over 4 weeks the show has dropped a staggering 22%.
I love this quote from tvbythenumbers: “Lost dipped below 9 million (4.0 adults 18-49 rating) and posted another series low, but it’s nothing to worry about since it will have no impact on its renewal prospects for next year.”
Translation: ABC has committed to this turd to the bitter end no matter how poorly it does in the ratings.
Did anything happen in this week’s episode that will lure viewers back next week? Ben getting shot is really the only thing that qualifies, but I don’t think it’s such a big draw because “character x recovers from a seemingly fatal injury” happens ALL THE TIME on this show.
Over/Under for next week: 8.75 mil.
does that mean you’re going to stop posting ratings forever? that would make simon adebesi very sad!
I’m guessing the ratings will level off at around 8.3 – 8.5 sometime during this season, and pick up for the finale. ABC was shaking in their boots regarding the finale going up against the final of American Idol, so they bumped the lost finale up one week to avoid it.
If we’re lucky and the ratings do dip below 8 I will be a very happy man.
It’s already hilarious to see how the diehard fans make up excuses about why the ratings are so low. If it was such a great show, people would rush to their tvs and watch as soon as they could, not wait to see it online. Not to mention the fact that it is the most pirated tv show because most international fans can’t wait to see it on their local stations later on – in other words those downloads by international fans should have no affect on the US ratings.
Owww, your nickname reminds me of one of the best series ever…
It was crappy at times, but it had a strong social content to it.
Yeah right, you all will feel so stupid and pathetic when it all makes since like this…BOOOOOOM!
Supposed you meant “sense”:
1.Yes! Stupid and pathetic having once believed in the show’ potential considering the way it’s most likely going to make sense!
And now more seriously:
2.I’m even pretty sure most or atleast some of the hard facts (monster, others, jacob, numbers…) will make kind of sense in the end (even LOST’s writers and world’s teens couldn’t justify complete absence of sense). But it has not to just simply make sense, but the way it makes sense has to make sense. Good luck with that!
3.More important than hard facts are the soft ones: The plausibility of characters actions and motivation and mental sanity. Please tell me one single allover mythology concept for LOST that allows Kate’s / Botox’ talking about sawyer instead of their most extraordinary experiences in mankind’s history (as mentioned somewhere else in here) to make sense. “They did talk about that, of course, even before they did about sawyer, ti’s just not shown to us as a brilliant device to create suspense and also to real fans the soap-quadrangle is much more important” doesn’t count as substitute
!
BOOOOOOM!
Let’s better say “…some or at least a few of the hard facts…”
RE #3: At least they’re consistent.
yes and the fanboys explain why: this is the most complex show on tv and avarage american can’t undrestand it. an AI, of course. It is not because this show sucks donkey balls!Of course!
a few questions:
-in the suspense-filled season finale, who will Locke knife-pwn before he calmly turns and says, “hi, Jack/Sawyer.”
-in the season-ending twist, as the camera revolves from the back to the front of the huge statue (replicating the WHO’S IN THE COFFIN twist), whose face will be carved into the impossibly tall colossus. Locke? Walt? Ben? Richard? Does it matter?
-how can sawyer possibly suck this much at communicating to sayid? if he mysteriously negotiates to richard without use of force, why must he punch sayid to prove anything? and when will he reveal that he actually is french, and has been lying to everyone since season 1? at the end of an episode, i hope–and then instead of an all-caps LOST hitting us in the face, accompanied by scary sounds, we’ll be graced by an all caps WHAT THE F*#%, and that’s when we’ll all realize that the show is an homage to R. Kelly style plot/commentary development. then we’ll find that kate is pregnant–by a midget. at the end of the next episode. then they’ll stare. LOST
“whose face will be carved into the impossibly tall colossus. Locke? Walt? Ben? Richard? Does it matter?”
The statue will show the face of JJ Abrams because the ratings will have reached under 1 million so ABC will have to decide to make season 6 an “How JJ’s giant smoking fart has made all Losties disappear” suck party to fulfill the pattern of an overall suck fest.
There is no question about it that JJ will be the one and only real actor left of the show. Hahahahaha
I think tee pee man deserves the worst interrogator of the year award.
Let’s see
- give some truth serum
- don’t get answers you believe
- oh well, guess I fucked up
- Everyone else – Okie Dokie
- interrogation over
Yeah and that guy is a ‘Psycho’, he is a deranged sadist…
Torquemada is in hell right now laughing his butt off.
and don’t the Dharma people know that strange things happen on the island? so why not actually try to continue to interrogate Sayid and see where it goes?
Oh, I forgot, it’s Lost: nobody asks questions on the island, and if they do – any half-answer will do.
Yeerp
Yeah, God forbid that they follow up on this “Sawyer” fellow that Sayid mentioned. It’s much better to have the entire interrogation derailed by some Dharma lunatic who’s obsessed over the geodesic dome model he’s been building for the last three years.
So they decided to name the episode after the interrogation scene, yet they spend about 5 minutes with that guy, and it was barely a proper interrogation. Was that guy supposed to create some sense of fear in viewers because all i saw was some weirdo living in the bushes.
they should have just named the episode ‘flaming bus’
That wasn’t how it went at all.
Then how did it go? Enlighten us!
Darlton don’t even know where the hell they’re going. Now the viewers have to choose a name for the ending scene of the season.
This was some huge filler btw. Whatever happened, happened so little Ben will survive. It was not even a cliffhanger!
man chut up Lost is best ever my friend has a Locke tattoo on his leg.
Is this your coming out on this side. You want to say that you are gay? Great!
man chut up Lost is worst ever my toilet paper consists of four layers…
Both statements are equally pointless. You get it?
(Sorry I’m constantly concentrating on you (unless that’s what you’re intending to achieve), but something in your style keeps annoying me. Maybe the lack of any substantial content or message (which by the way could be an “artifice” to achieve your possibly intended goal). But here’s your chance to proof me wrong: Just constructivly answer my question to your earlier post -16:16:33- right above.)
I see ‘life on mars’ are trying to emulate Lost by having a grand mystery,
well, whatever it is, it’s going to suck.
But at least LOM can be seen on a episode by episode basis (which I do) and at least Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperioli are fine actors, and at least there’s some humorous parts there.
None can be said about Lost:
Not even one good joke or humorous situation. Less than stellar acting, and the entire show is subjugated to the mystery – i.e. Lost is like a long premise of a (bad) joke, and as such the it has no independent existence without the punchline. And since the punchline is going to suck, the entire show does also.
BTW that’s why I think Lost will do very poorly on syndication – once you hear the punchline, you don’t want to hear the tortuous premise again.
Lost Mystery solved: Chicken Issues
1) Ben was a good kid until that jailhouse chicken salad sandwich. Do not eat time traveled sandwiches especially with 30 year old mayo.
2) Sayid failed to choke the chicken even when ordered by father to do so. Luckily his friend helped him with it.
Bonus points:
Jin was really a’poppin last night.
Lots of gun pointings and cockings. NRA seal of approval for gun awareness.
Juliet and kate seem to be on course in dealing with their man issues. Catfight on hold… for now.
Hurley easing into “new” life involving food preparation. The picnic table did not collapse. Dharma brand quality.
sayid was the other kid
COme on, who didnt see it coming that Sayid would be the younger, less of a pussy brother?
Ah fuck, the love square
Ah ok, Sawyier did know Ben lived there, he just didnt care.
Just out of curiosity…
Has anyone in here tried to explain the show to someone? Most of the people here watch the show even though we don’t expect much from it anymore. I have a friend who only saw the first few episodes of season one and wanted me to bring him up to speed.
Have you ever noticed how stupid YOU sound when you try to explain the show to someone? I come on here and have a good laugh when I read the posts of people ridiculing the show, but it’s weird when you try to seriously explain the show to someone and they look at you like you’re a fucking nut for watching it in the first place.
“So yeah, the polar bears… and then there was a power cable running in to the ocean… and the island moved b/c of this huge wheel in a frozen cave… and they got dynamite from a slave ship… and then the four toed statue… and the sonic fence stops the smoke monster… and the others… and the hatches… and they came back to life… and then he traveled through time…and food fell out of the sky… and the cabin tells them what to do… and the submarine… ”
“And you like this show?”
“I think it’s stupid”
“Why do you watch it”
“I don’t know.”
Nail on the head.
Excellent post.
Not really that good a post, but the regulars here will flip the fuck out of it and call you Jesus Christ the almighty. Congrats.
Not really that good a show, but the regulars out there will flip the fuck out of it and call Darlton Jesus Christ the almighty. Congrats.
solid
…and only he can see the future (without time travel)… and the island heals you sometimes… and pregnant women die (but only recently)… and the egyptian temples… and the magic box… and the golf course… and the whispering voices… and only he doesn’t age (without time travel)…and the heroin madonnas… and they build a church… and the tattooed shark… and the sky turns purple (when it doesn’t flash white while their noses bleed)… and the monster-control-room… and the infinite pendulum… and the invisible map seen only during a lockdown… and the numbers of fate… and the nuclear warhead… and it all doesn’t matter.
Something else? Let’s collect them all!
Now that you mention it you do have a great point. I remember even back up to season 2 and season 3 when the show at least had some credibility, it was still a comedy routine when explaining the show to others. The conversations would usually end with an awkward pause, followed by “uhh you’ll probably understand better once you watch it”.
This was the absolute bestist LOST episode of all time. When Maryann hit Gilligan in the head with a brick I LAUGHED my ass off. Really though, they should have more of Elvis and the goat. Maybe Elvis could wear Locke’s magical shoes.
Hahah the classic “who care what he has to say. it doesnt matter”
Shouldn’t the reason Sayid’s here be to murder young Ben`?
Oh wait, sweet. He does.
Imagine the show being cut after the end of this season due to financial reasons, then all the fanboys will say that we never got to see the finale of the best show ever and how the writters had everything planned out etc.
I hope this show keeps going for 2 reasons:
1) Its really amusing for how pathetic it is.
2) So that everyone gets to see the “Grand Finale” where everything is explained (not).
You’re the light beam from the hatch! That easy way to avoid the most likely truth must not be given to them. Better a for us painfully extended yet definite end of arguing than none.
Everybody over here is talking about how the show has to cut their budget and they are probably going to handle it that way.
If the ratings really bomb next year, I can see them cancelling the show at that time, but there are a ton of ways they can make this production cheaper so I think they will at least attempt to take some hacks.
You will see, oh you will see and it will hurt, hurt like Hell when the cards are finely played. I am thirsty.
When, no, IF the cards are finally played the way you want us to be sure they will be, it won’t hurt at all! I will be really happy to admit I was wrong because this would be a small price to pay for having been able to see a that brilliant piece of art, that LOST then would be considering how ridiculously deep the shit is right now the writers have consciously maneuvered themselves in and that they had to digg themselves out of again in order to play the cards your way.
? Not naitively english.)
(Does that grammatically makes a little sense at all
And even if they’re a manufacturing a most brilliant, sense giving ending, it would only be so to the mysteries – as I explained somewhere above – and not to the purely illogic behavior of all the characters, which is – what you obviously don’t get – the main problem we have with the writing (I think). And with that illogicality in behavior there is nothing to encourage us to ignore the in number and intensity increasing and increasing production continuity flaws, what we would otherwise do atleast partly in favor of an existing much more important, great, ingenius, caring for consistency concept and ideals sensible in the background.
Hugh! I am hungry.
very well put. crazy sh*# going on around the characters would be more tolerable if they dealt w/ the crazy sh*$ in a more believable fashion. i.e. talking about dharma food/70s/what the *#$& is going on during cafeteria lunch rather than “so, sawyer and juliet…” and that’s a most minor example
You say it! But as they don’t do so, we point out sometimes too pedanticly – I give that to our fanboy critics – every little flaw, although we sometimes of course know it’s not really worth mentioning (like use of electroshockers); out of pure anger! It’s also a question of flaws’ quantity:
If you’re late for class once a month, it’s nothing;
You’re late once a month, no problem if you’re a good student;
But being late every day and being a bad one, gets you to the principal where then even the one-is-free-per-month-lateness suddenly doesn’t speak in your favor anymore; and yes, we have to be that principal to those bad, lazy writers, my friends, as no one else seems TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS JOB! WE HAVE TO DEMOLISH THE FOUR-TOED EMMY LOST WON! WE HAVE TO PURGE THE WRITA INITIATIVE AND… And.. and…
Sorry, but the light just hit my carved wooden keyboard in a very special way. Got overstimulated on my way north
.
DAMN IT!
second “month” is meant to be “week”. So don’t cheaply attack me for that, you fans of LOST.
hey guys!
Another shame on lost. It turned out that in 5×9 the mysterious woman behind Sun is not Claire, it was just a crew memeber. But the fanboys worked out new theories thinking that it was a ghost lol. How inconvenient!
It’s painfully obvious that all the carrying and pointing and cocking of guns in Lost is as pointless as the flashbacks. Just filler. Without the guns you have Gilligan’s Island with lipstick.
Gilligan’s Island was plausible.

I find it interesting as I sit here only having seen the premiere episode(s) that I really haven’t missed much. I do plan to watch when I return or whenever the Haji shops here bootleg the 5th season. There seems to be about 3 or 4 types of posters here now.
1. The old guard, like me and the Lmeisters, Big Jim, Nico, JT, et al, who made this site intersesting.
2. The new guard, all those idiots above who are trying to take down the intent of this site.
3. The fly by poster, the inevitable “why do you guys watch a show you hate then bash everything about it” poster who fails to read the FAQ or maybe just peruse the first couple of season’s posts.
4. Not sure if this is a type, but the “I’ve been watching this site for a while but just decided to post” poster who I personally think is one of the above who’s realized his errant ways and wants to get back without repercussions.
Now, having that, can we get beyond the name-calling, insulting posts (of which I have fallen victim to and been the perpetrator of) and get to the crux of why this site is here? We are here to discuss why this show with so much potential turned out so shitty, yet we can’t stop watching. I’ve posted many times early on I believe this show is heroin, you watch the first episode and you are hooked (or at least first season), but then the second hit (season) doesn’t quite do it again, so you keep coming back for more hoping to get that high from the first season. But it’s never going to happen. You will never find the answers to all the questions about the first season, as someone did point out above. They say (Darlton) it will be revealed what some long standing mysteries were, but we won’t get the answers to the questions that hooked us in the first place. So, yes, we make fun of the senseless jungle treks, gun cocking, staring, the inability of anyone to answer a question, why Juliet still can’t explain what the hell they were doing on the island, etc.
Here’s the deal, keep clogging up this board with crap, Tyler doesn’t mind because he’s raking in the dough, but if you really like lost and are here just to rattle the cage, go to the Fuselage and DharmaSecrets and post your witty banter there. I love Lost, I think Lost Version 1.0 was great, but this new Lost is great also if you forget the 500 questions they brought up in season 1. Bottom line, no matter what you say or how you say it, Lost still sucks and always will.
I will return to weekly bash the show next season, just don’t have the ability to watch it here. I hope the old guard is still reading, and I encourage them to post again, don’t let these fanboy idiots discourage you.

You write like you are kinda gay.
Yeah, that’s it, what an astute observation. I’m gay, apparently thoughtful posts are gay. I’m just a big old gay Army Captain hiding in the closet using a wife and 3 kids as my cover. Gay, that is what I am.
Now I must add a fifth type:
5. The poster who replies to anything he can’t actually have a decent comeback for with “you sound gay.”
I think that is about the third or fourth time you (or someone) has replied to my post that way. Fine I’m gay, that’s a choice, but stupid is forever. BTW, I doubt you would say that to my face, of course most people can’t because I’m 6′4″ tall. Go ahead, make a tall joke, or is gay the only thing you know? I love weasels like you that hide behind the internet. Come see me, I’m in southeast Baghdad if you have the balls.

If you have a wife and three kids why are you wasting your time on a Lost sucks website? I think it’s safe to assume that you have more important things to do.
Well I didnt mean for you to have some kind of gay hissy fit. By the way, does your soldier job involve kneepads?
CPT Preevyet,
I doubt Tyler is raking in dough from this site but if he is he deserves it.
Great observations on the show and the site.
Keep your head down and don’t volunteer for anything. Watch out for your men and drag your feet if given orders that seem overly ambitious of foolish or pointless.
Thanks for your service.
Once again, Preevyet pops up to complain that things were better in the old days when only the giants were here. Now it all sucks because the “new guard” and trolls have taken over.
Have fun with your nostalgia old man. When you get back home, you can spend your time NOT coming here, shaking your fist on the front porch, and yelling “You kids get off my lawn!!!”
Haha couldn’t agree more. I mean when a neighborhood goes bad, or a factory closes, or your high school changes its mascots name to something more PC I can understand complaining about the old days. However, to complain about a meaningless website while handing out life lessons is completely absurd. We’re not talking about religion, politics, or abortion. We’re talking about a fucking television show. Give me a break.
With that said I’m not taking away from the fact that you are serving this country so that myself and the rest of these idiots have the ability to freely speak on a stupid website like this. Be safe we all appreciate what you’re doing but save the lectures for your three children.
Yeah, the Lost writers also believe that it was better in the old days, that’s why they put the characters in the 70’s, you’re right – much better.
I’ve seen, many times, trolls trying to pretend they’re actually a “disappointed” member of the site and so can dish out their vitriol in a “positive” manner, while seem objective – since, after all, they’re just concerned about the quality of the site, so it gives more credence to their attacks.
it won’t work, people here are aware of this method.
and by the way “army guy” the policy didn’t change so I suggest that you don’t “tell”.
One last thing before I go: How many more times are you going to tell us that you are serving in Iraq? Last I heard, there wasn’t any draft. Nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to enlist. You are in Iraq because you chose to be in the army. That doesn’t make you any better than someone who chose to be a mechanic or a teacher or a salesman or a ditch-digger.
Of all the people who come to this site, you are the only one who makes his career choice a part of every post. Get over it tough guy. If you think it sucks that you’re in Iraq, well, tough shit. That’s the breaks.
What is wrong with you people? Giving a man in Iraq grief about being in Iraq? Telling him it was his choice? Feel free to rant on his points but have some decency about this man and his service. Either that or grab a weapon and man a post.
Preevyet: There are actually people in this country that think you rock. Keep up the great work and we appreciate your sacrifice.
I applauded his service three posts up from yours. So take it easy with the “you people.”
I love you Man!
I stand by my earlier comments. If he didn’t want to serve in the army, he shouldn’t have enlisted.
And by the way, if we still had the draft (which we should), we never would’ve invaded Iraq in the first place because the political consequences would have destroyed Bush’s hopes for a 2nd term.
oh please, the guy’s troll,
he probably read some past threads, looked for some recurrent names, and then looked which one of those didn’t post for a long time (so that guy is probably not coming back) and then impersonated him.
His posts look very similar to other posts where
the guy gives a long numbered list where he “analyzes” us, this troll thinks he’s the Sigmund Freud of trolldom.
Well, if he’s some kind of a psychologist or something, how about analyzing himself and what happened in his life that he became a shithead troll. doctor heal thyself.
The fact that he gives so much information about himself is just to look real, no one else here does that – methinks he protests too much.
I’m looking forward to more of his numbered psychobabble rants about us, they’re quite amusing when you know who’s behind them.
Hey, I’m the real Preevyet. I would hope no one impersonates me. I would like to address the previous points and since it makes Mikey happy I’ll do it list form.
1. Nobody special, first, I did volunteer, and I did volunteer to come to Iraq. Nobody held a gun to my head, and I am proud of what I do. I could have gotten out a couple years ago when I was released from the USAF, but opted to go Blue to Green and have spent 12 of the past 15 months away from home with another 8 left on my tour here. I’ve been in the military since 1987 so I can’t imagine myself anywhere else.
2. Mr Meisterbrau, again with the gay reference? Really? Just because you are stuck in the closet with Tom Cruise don’t pass your anger on to me.
3. Riley, yes I do have a wife and 3 children but the strange thing is the Army wouldn’t let me bring them to Iraq. So I have plenty of time to peruse this site.
4. Mikey, unlike my fellow old timers, I have not run away from the insults. Don’t care, because I know if you met me in person you wouldn’t be so brave. I am not a troll, merely a guy who used to post a lot coming back when bored here in Baghdad.
Thanks for all your well wishes (esp Large Beer), and I do mention my perdicament a bit but hey, I’m proud to be here and doing what I do. The element of danger is a rush, nothing like driving down the road with a M240B and pointing at someone telling them to back off. And they back off. The kids who wave and give us peace signs here, the Iraqi Army which is far better than maybe most Americans realize. We’re real close to calling it a day regardless of whether or not Obama wants us to stay. On to Afghanistan!
I don’t see any of you posting “Mikey on duty at McDonald’s” or “Riley on duty at Best Buy”, must not be proud of what you do. Oh well, the weblink I post is real and when I have time I update it. If you are interested, take a peak. I even have a picture of myself. I think I am done with this site for a while, no sense if posting when I can’t watch the show.

well, well, well…when I first showed up on this board I promised you that I would destroy it. I had a simple trick, I posted under numerous names. It got boring, so I stopped and haven’t visited in about 3 weeks. Well, it appears that I really did destroy this board with my technique. There are so many people posting now under numerous names and names like “the real (fill in a former poster’s name)” it is nearly impossible to see anyone having a meaningful conversation. lost blows, and so does this site.
My goldfish has wet dreams about you.
I visited FUSALAGE finally. You guys said that is a bad site full of fanboys. So I was surprised that there is a ‘didn’t love it’ section at each episode, where you can find some very good posts.
I used to post there not too long ago. The quality of the posts has gone down hill there. Too many dolts and posers trying to analyze to the nth degree or posting moronic poetry to each other.
Little or no sizzle there anymore.
chut up lost is # 1 and just chut up buttheads
LOST is awesome, but i loved coming to this site.
But now this place just sucks
Low Lights:
I’d like to mix it up a bit, and I urge some others to participate as well, by choosing your least favorite scene of all times. A scene where you just shook your head in disbelief at how utterly awful Lost truly is. I’ll start. This was the turning point for me as I crossed over to the hater side and have never looked back.
When Charlie KILLED HIMSELF. It was hands down the dumbest moment of the show. If you recall he was underwater and the dude with the eye patch had a grenade and was about to blow a hole in the submerged lair. Instead of just leaving the room and shutting the door behind him. He chooses to run over to the door, slam it, while remaining inside the sectioned off room. As the room filled with water the remaining teary-eyed cast dove into the water pit and swam to the surface. Then they got back and talked about what a hero Charlie had been. At this point I wanted to vomit. Not only could he have escaped the room and swam to the top but he didn’t help any of the others get away because they ultimately just swam to the top anyway. He was certainly not a hero but instead a pussy that just gave up.
This was the beginning of the end for me.
Worst scene ever:
Locke turning the donkey wheel again because it was off its axis. That ’s why the island was moving through time, because Ben wasn’t supposed to turn the magic wheel. Greatest comedy ever.Good job Darlton.
Haha that was good. A beaten up wooden wheel controls space and time. I’m sure they’ll explain how that works though…
… the wheel has its own flashback episode?
The big secret is that the wheel is the old merry go round the Ben and Widmore played on as kids. Ben even gave it a name…. Lost finale has Ben as an old man on his death bed saying “Rosebud.” THE END
Come to think of it, Citizen Kane was told in flashback.
the scene in which kate mysteriously turns up at jack’s and says, “never ask me what happened” and jack says “ok.” i know there are a lot of non-answers on this show, but this was the absolute epitome.
especially with the anticlimactic revelation of what happened that aired tonight. there was no reason for it to remain a secret. at all. if i had had a boner when i watched that scene, it would have become flaccid in 2 seconds. the only reason they canned it as a secret earlier in the season was to create “suspense,” which becomes “frustration” when it is delayed half a season.
Wow Riley is an idiot
I though this place sucks now? What are you doing back? Ooo right… you’re a beatoff.
Why that?
Pootin’ out my booty everybody’s booty all throughout the studio!!
ABC cancels Lost
“Just received this from a number of sources at it appears that it’s even on the Reuters homepage which means it’s unlikely to be an Aprils Fools joke. I’m trying to find out more information.”
Bad April Fool’s joke by some fanboys and Lost dead-enders who want to try to generate some buzz for their favorite p.o.s.
Will it help the ratings tonight? All signs point to NO!
shut the fuck up about the ratings already, your obsessed
the most pathetic thing is to write under a fake name! But you are a lost fanboy, so I forgive you!
Yeah right. It’s not cancelled you retarded jackass. Shows how smart you haters really are!
iT is from darkufo, not from haters you sack of shit!
Yeah and it goes on to say it is an April fool’s joke. Good job fool.
But why did they joke about the cancellation of the show? Because the ratings are down and everybody knows that there is still chance that lost gets cancelled in spite of the contract! So be prepared that your pathetic show will be cancelled! Don’t cry little fanboy!
