Who’s your daddy?
5,000 unresolved plot lines and we get an episode devoted to explaining why Miles has daddy issues? I used to actually not mind his character but not he is almost as whiny as Ben. I felt like I was watching a hybrid Ghost Wisperer and Dr. Phil episode. On the plus side, I didn’t see any gun cocking at all, but I did count at least 5 “that’s not important right nows”.
Also did anyone catch the Star Trek commercial? Wow. Nice to know the same techniques from Lost will now be applied to ruin the Star Trek franchise.

What a stinker this was.
This show has become so childish.
How does the mother and son just stand there and they both talk about a DEAD GUY on the floor. The landlord instead of quickly phoning the cops is more concerned in knowing how Miles knew the dead dude’s wife.
Is everyone on this show just sterile against seeing dead people, n. Hurley didn’t even fucking blink an eye as to why Miles had 2 dead dudes in his car, he was more interested in making sure his sandwiches are okay.
Who’s ever heard of a tooth filling being magnetic anyways lol? Scientific my ass, more like fantasy.
Can the actress playing Kate once in her life walk in a room without playing with her hands?
Id be embarrassed just to be an extra on this pile of shit show.
Why oh why does NO ONE in DHARMA, besides Ben’s dad Roger, NOT care that a child who just got shot has gone missing?
And “LaFleur,” who has prided himself in infiltrating Dharma and becoming the lead security person, takes evil Ben to the dreaded “hostiles” at the risk losing any faith Dharmafolk had with him? His loyalty to Dharma is thrown out like that? He just offs one of his workers?
Miles and Hurley conversating was just painful. I wish I could have had a gun to cock…and pull.
With the show winding down, instead of being given definite answers and a definite direction we are bogged down with another flashback with another terrible-ass character.
Miles…why is your chinky little ass such a bitch? You finally get to meet your father, and, since “what happens, happens” you can say about anything to him. You can also see a younger version of yourself which–we can say–doesn’t happen too often. But you cry to Hurley the whole episode.
Has Hurley gotten fatter? Just die already. It was entertaining to read the fanboys’ renewed infatuation with Hurley following the “Star Wars” references. Hurley…you’re in an organization with a troubled history that will be “purged” within 15 years. You are also in the 70s, on a troubled island with a mortality rate about 100x higher than Baghdad in 2005. But you’re concerned with rewriting Star Wars in a way that fits your utopian vision where everyone “communicates?”
How come a chinese guy working on time travel experiments, who has a son named miles, isn’t at all curious about a younger chinese guy he meets- the only other chinese guy, named miles?
“Woah! That’s not important right now.”
Yeah, what a dumbass that Chang moron is.
some of us were.
“How does the mother and son just stand there and they both talk about a DEAD GUY on the floor. The landlord instead of quickly phoning the cops is more concerned in knowing how Miles knew the dead dude’s wife.”
What kind of pathetic reason to hate on the show is this?
He probably phoned the cops right after. He was curious how a kid knew something he shouldnt.
“Hurley didn’t even fucking blink an eye as to why Miles had 2 dead dudes in his car, he was more interested in making sure his sandwiches are okay.”
There was 1 person in the truck, and guess what ITS HURLEY. Its in his characters nature.
“Who’s ever heard of a tooth filling being magnetic anyways lol? Scientific my ass, more like fantasy.”
This was discussed way back in the beginning of season 2
Jack chain round his neck was pulled towards the wall and desmond said “everytime i walk past that wall out there, my fillings hurt”. It a huge magnetic anomaly, have you ever come across one of them to say otherwise?
“Can the actress playing Kate once in her life walk in a room without playing with her hands?”
Yep thats her character.
Thats it thats all you’ve got? Every week you people bring up pointless nitpicking. More proof this show owns
Your point 1: You’re right!
Your point 3: You’re right!
Your point 2 & 4:
So your approved excuse for characters’ behavior is a writers’ concept of “Let’s write unlogic, unhuman, annoying characters, so we won’t be in need of exhaustingly figuring out ways to have them act understandably and intelligently like real writing-art would demand from us! Problem solved, let’s go home earlier!”
Prove to me that tooth filling are magnetic.
I nitpick for a comedic factor, everyone here knows already why this show is shit, including you; don’t tell me you didn’t type lost sucks in Google.
BAM
If I’d see a dead body, I’d be running screaming out of that place. Guess thats why I’m not a “character” on LOST :-p.
“This was discussed way back in the beginning of season 2
Jack chain round his neck was pulled towards the wall and desmond said “everytime i walk past that wall out there, my fillings hurt”. It a huge magnetic anomaly, have you ever come across one of them to say otherwise?”
Now it sounds even stupider.
Desmond said his “fillings hurt” because that’s what the script said he was supposed to say. That doesn’t make the claim authentic.
Fact is, a mercury amalgam tooth filling would not react to a magnetic field. That means that the writers are full of crap and don’t understand even basic science. Nor do you for that matter.
That’s why you can enjoy the show so easily.
Of course you’re right that such a filling would not react to a magnetic field (unless it is that incredibly strong that it would effect possibly within existing ions, but then their whole body would be effected as well), I just mean that you could overlook such a minor incorrectness If the show could be called atleast good by any means (Characters’ consistency of development and acting and logic driven-by-reason thinking and behavior as well as meaningful suspense).
Yes.
Any magnetic field sufficiently powerful to interact with mercury fillings would, necessarily rupture every blood cell in the person with the fillings.
Which means it should have been fatal to Desmond.
I’m just tired of the weak ass excuses that fans have for trying to justify verifiable nonsense in the show.
“Which means it should have been fatal to Desmond.”
there is plenty of stupid shit on lost to rip on but alot of times i think you guys are just reaching… this tooth filling thing is a perfect example. maybe dez didn’t get as close to the magnetic field as the guy who died.
you guys always think you got Lost by the balls but you overlook alot of obvious shit that makes some of the crazy shit in lost plausable. who says dez and the dead dharma guy were exposed to the same level of radiation?
i like the show and also i like to knock it for its many flaws, but i just can’t stand when people hate it so much that they pick stupid shit to complain about.
you complaining about dumb shit like this actually makes the show look better.
how about a gold or silver filling?
Same.
Do you people even realize how much you are making the writers smile? Either all you people have the ability to time travel since you have the time to watch shows you hate and STILL have time to watch the shows you actually like…. or you just might be an F-ing loser. Wow. I’ve never been so amazed over a hate site. I’ve come across hate sites before… but it’s almost as if this site is exclusively for illiterate homophobes. I have no idea how i managed to get through the filter. See you in another life… but you’ll probably still have that stick up your ass.
scifi.com/scifiwire/handheld/30246.html
Lindelof said that a DVD set of the first season will come out this summer, before a second season begins in the fall. As the show progresses, he added, it won’t venture too far into science fiction as its mysteries unfold. “We’re still trying to be … firmly ensconced in the world of science fact,” he said in an interview. “I don’t think we’ve shown anything on the show yet … that has no rational explanation in the real world that we all function within. We certainly hint at psychic phenomena, happenstance and … things being in a place where they probably shouldn’t be. But nothing is flat-out impossible. There are no spaceships. There isn’t any time travel.”
Yes, this is my favourite comment from this asshole.
How fuckin dumb is the lot of you assholes that complains about the writers saying there is no science fiction in the show as if you were DUPED into watching science fiction.
Lindelof tells you right in the above quoted section ““I don’t think we’ve shown anything on the show yet … ” did you miss that last word there? AND if you read wikipedia, JJ Abrams only agreed to do the show on “the condition that the series would have a supernatural angle to it”.
So there’s 2 things that should have shown you right off the bat that this show is science fiction. Add to that all the crazy shit that happened from episode 1 onward, like locke being able to walk, wounds healing faster, and the column of smoke that chews people up and spits them out…. just to name a few….
I admit, Lost has it’s problems… I like it, but certainly acknowledge them… I can see how other people threw their hands up in disgust and walked away (although if this website is any indication, even peope who hate Lost still watch it)
But one thing this show has ALWAYS been is science fiction and anyone who watched it thinking otherwise is a moron. And anyone who complains that the show “turned into” science fiction on them out of nowhere is a fucking retard. Most of you are both.
So you think that they were simply comment on what the show already has or has not?
first of all, your post is barely literate so I’ll try to answer what I think you meant…
i think the writers were probably being coy in their early comments about whether the show was sci-fi, not wanting to give away too much too soon, and so gave ambiguous answers to the question. I still maintain that any idiot watching all the way back to S1 should have known the show was scifi or at least acknowledged the possibility! the lot of you seem genuinely shocked that a show about an island with a smoke monster and a cripple that can magically walk again turned out to be sci fi. really… i cannot fathom the type of moron who could watch and have no inkling they were watching sci-fi. What the fuck did you think you were watching, fucking CSI?
Of all the things to bitch about on Lost, and there are many, the “they fooled me into watching sci-fi” complaint is by far the stupidest. and since most of you still watch anyway that’s like saying “they rolled me over and ass raped me and i hated it, but no, i kinda liked it. please do it again.”
but i still like this site because there are many stupid things that happen on lost (it is far from perfect, or “godly” like that idiot keeps saying) and i like coming here to read everyone bitch about it, cuz you certainly can’t on lost-forum where they have exactly 1 thread where you are allowed to complain about the show.
but you are all still faggots and you should admit that now.
haha .You sack of shit! Look at this article and ADMIT THAT YOU FAILED:
This paragraph from the IGN.com article should make it more clear:
Lindelof laughed that, “We sort of suckered people into this show but not presenting it as a science fiction show right out of the gate,” noting that there were elements early on that were, “like a Rorschach test”, saying that when Flight 815’s pilot is killed, someone who didn’t like sci-fi would think, “there has to be a rational explanation.” Even the reveal that Locke could walk on the island was tempered by the fact that they still hadn’t revealed why he was in the chair in the first place, leaving the opportunity that, “it could be psychosomatic.” Lindelof said Raiders of the Lost Ark was a great example of a story that has blatantly science fiction elements, noting, “Nazis melt and ghost fly out of this ark,” but that it waits a long time before presenting these elements, allowing the audience to fall in love with Indiana Jones first. Lindelof said he felt shows like Invasion probably had a harder time finding a wide audience because, “They said ‘Alien!’, right out of the gate.’”
Lindelof said that when it came to slowly building into more science fiction, “Lost has really been about the long con, because by the time we get to season 6, it’s going to be f**king crazy!”
moron+retard=mortard?
The smoke monster and healing could’ve been explained by hard-scifi, that is technologoy that is currently out of our reach, but not impssible as far as we know, like nanobots. Time travel is impossible, and people “just knowing” things and behaving like retards by taking orders from and trusting people who never tell the truth is just plain shit writing.
No that’s Evangeline Lilly not being able to act her way out of a box.
…in response to her playing with her hands just being her character, that is
First time I told this show to go fuck itself. Feels liberating!
oh boy here we go again it just kinda pains me to see how bad they are. i mean shit, fuck, jesus christ whats the new sloagan “if its dharmaville its nothing but pure 99/44 100s percent pure crap. what the hell is horrace doing wearing a swan hatch jumpsuit when it aint even built yet. shouldn’t he have some kind of leader jumpsuit or i guess it dont matter nohows. and what the fuck is up with shithead sawyer knocking that dude out gonna tie him up wow now this is some great intelligent thinking here dudes let me tell you what. after watching last weeks show i was thinking and right their that was my first mistake but nontheless that maybe the writers had finally started looking at there shit saying we better get somebody in ‘77 ‘78 when ever they are to get pat sayjack to spinning that old donkey wheel to get everybody back together in the nowadays with pussylockes bug eyed ben and the beautiful sun but oh fuck no were gonna keep it back here listening to albert hammond not making it in the big time and let me tell you what LOST aint making it either. wow how bad can they get. disgusting simply disgusting and that to bad. so i say to our little faggot fanboy resident troll BEN “WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR STUPID FUCKING SHOW”. and please dont come back with something stupid like “well dont watch it then” cuz thats just retarded and i am all ready there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you so angry
not angry, retarded. cant read or what?
Lol, dude, nobody can EVER read the stuff you write. Your posts hurt my eyes… try punctuation!
what else was sawyer gonna do what that security jerkoff? he was about to spill the beans! of all the things to find unrealistic about the show, you’ve actually picked the most realisting thing to happen in episodes to bitch about… were you being teabagged while typing that?
you fucks allways have to have something smart to say dontcha. like the being tea bagged while im writing. now wow my retarded ass has a hard enough time just pecking at this thing you give me way to much credit. cuz being tea bagged i couldnt see the letters but thanks anyways…
Your post was nothing but an unintelligible rant making some of the dumbest and mundane criticisms of lost i have ever heard. How could you possibly expect to be taken seriously? You intended to be foul and insulting and now you are shocked you got the same in return? Upon re-reading your post, I agree with the reply above observing your anger. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Yes, i am going to fucking say it… if you hate the show so much it leads you to rant like a lunatic week after week on the internet, then why on earth do you keep watching it? You hate the characters, you hate the plot, you hate the fact that it’s sci-fi, you hate the incongruities etc… so why watch?
Personally, i try to remove irritants from my life. If there is something on TV I hate, which is pretty much everything, I DONT watch it. You seem to go out of your way to be angered.
wow dude i take it that you watched a special freaky faggot fanboy episode that was exciting and faggot fanboy fun. well let me tell ya what my tv dont get that channel. as for what the fuck is wrong with me, well you would have to get with my shrink on that and i really dont think you want to know. and as for being dumb and mundane, well so fucking what, but my dumbass knows the name of the websiteand i guess thats just a little better than yours does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the thing about smartass sawyer is now watcha gonna do with him. i say lafuck lafluer shoulda sat down with the gentleman had a coupla dharma beers, a coupla good belts off the old dharma whiskey jug and told him he could have his way with sluttyette, BOOM……..wrapped around your finger…
ASSBLEEDSECTION says: “i say lafuck lafluer shoulda sat down with the gentleman had a coupla dharma beers, a coupla good belts off the old dharma whiskey jug and told him he could have his way with sluttyette,”
hey retard that actually makes sense to you? coupla a beers and i’ll let you fuck my girlfriend if you don’t turn me in…. BOOM! you are as fucking stupid as stupid gets.
another dumb ASSBLEEDSECTION comment
“what the hell is horrace doing wearing a swan hatch jumpsuit when it aint even built yet.”
you don’t think it’s possible they had the uniforms before/during the building of the station?
again, I like lost, but of all the stupidity that you could legitimately complain about, you pick this? wtf, it is minor, and easily explained away.. so why waste your time with it…
if you hate lost so much why do you continue to keep watching it? is it b/c you are already too invested in it? if so, did you ever hear the saying “don’t throw good money after bad”?
wow dude after going back and reading all your attacks on me wow dude you put my anger issues to shameand believe me i am gonna bring this up at my next anger management class. i write as it comes up in my little pea brain and that usually throws punctuation down the toilet. hell i feel lucky if i spell just half the words right having went to school in camp verde arizonaand thats not all i didn’t even make it to my senior year. goddamn poor pitiful fucking me wow i take it all backgo ahead rake my ass over the coals as hard as ya can cuz at least your leaving soneone else alone……
Fucking awesome episode.
Whoever doesnt like this show must be a faggot
Have a nice day
Why are you such an angry gay basher?
because dudes cornholing dudes is just… wierd…
what the fuck dude are you 12 years old and cant figure out weather your gay or not get a grip dude…
I think you meant “whether”. I guess you don’t learn to spell properly at your school until you’re 13.
You know what i figured out, if you like/love 95% of the charcters on this show, you’re going to love the show. If you dislike/hate 95% of the characters on this show, you’re going to hate the show. Let me guess what category most of the people on this site are in.
LOST is a character show, always has been always will be. The mythology is important, but the writers always said that the characters were the primary focus.
So this episode didnt have any WTF moments(except perhaps the ending, Faraday turned up, so “Whatever Happened, Whatever” theory is getting shot out of the window. It was a fun episode, it made me laugh, and it was quite sad at parts, and some nice mythology in there too, to keep me guessing.
What a godly show :bow:
Yep. Lost is a character show. There are about 500 of them now, each with their own backstory and daddy issue.
Still looking for scraps on why the show sucks? Dayum
What about actually dicussing raptusregaliter’s point of criticism?
The point is that everytime they have sufficiently explored characters by flashbacks (as LOST is a character show) so they now have 20 min an episode of free time, they introduce randomly new characters to dedicate the flashback-free-time to, so they can avoid the urge to use the same free-time sensibly to start resolving all the mysteries, because they just don’t “want to”, most likely because they are afraid of starting as they have no idea how to resolve them! That or they are already exercising writing for nickelodeon, what seems to be their long-time goal anyway.
I was thinking the same thing. What character on the show actually has a good relationship with their father? I can’t name ONE!!!! (Except Jin, sort of… he left his father whom he was ashamed of yet the reconciled, kind of)
What a godly show :bow: >/i>
LOL. Yup Darlton team are Gods, alright! Are you kidding me about characters?
-> Just about everyone has a problem with parents (especially dads)
-> Although most of them haven’t touched a gun, they are pros at shooting.
-> The don’t talk to each other at all (suddenly one day they become all-knowing, still don’t bother saying a word to the rest)
-> They follow instructions to the line from people who tried to destroy them.
-> None of them have a shred of logic in them (oh yeah, the island “caused” them to lose all logic).
-> Not one of them has any humane feelings and no concern for any of the people who crashed with them. (children, what children?). People keep vanishing without any reason and nobody even talks about them. Thats right, there is no time for that now.
Yup, they are “characters” alright! I wouldn’t want to crash with these kind of people. Maybe I’m an optimist, but I believe the world is made up of much better people.
Good summary of key-flaws!
Whoever liked this episode can go and fuck himslef!
What a piece of shit! It reminded me of the tattoe epi, and the niki and paula sipder thinggy!IT was painful to watch!A filler episode in a filler season! 9.999/10 on the suck-o
1. Miles’ daddy issue. NO words needed.
2. Talking to dead people.What a cop-out
3. Miles flashback.Who the fuck cares? Totally pointless character with poinless story.
4. Painfully bad conversations about NOTHING!
5. Omg, it seems that there will be a war in s6. A THIRD(!!!!) party was introduced, besides Ben and Widmore. We will have a lots of lost of new characters.Anyways, the are all gonna die!
6. Faragay is back! What a cliffhanger!!!
BOOOM
LOST
“Miles’ daddy issue. NO words needed.”
Because there nothing to say, stfd
“Talking to dead people.What a cop-out”
a cop out? its been this way since we met the guy, and you think thats it for the character? Dont be stupid.
“Miles flashback.Who the fuck cares? Totally pointless character with poinless story.”
I liked it, how do you know its pointless?
“Painfully bad conversations about NOTHING!”
Opinion. I loved the conversations, very funny.
“Omg, it seems that there will be a war in s6. A THIRD(!!!!) party was introduced, besides Ben and Widmore. We will have a lots of lost of new characters.Anyways, the are all gonna die!”
Ooooh very interesting, I think its the new dharma? Maybe charged by Alvar Hanso? Idk
“Faragay is back! What a cliffhanger!!!”
Yeah, WHH theory is going out the window, they really can change the future, i think!
Godly
I don’t have any problems with fanboys on this site but you really suck, and you should go to Fuselage instead of this site. Your points are excellnet:”I loved it so it is good” etc.
I feel for the fanboys that still love this show. They must have some serious mental issues.
or daddy issues.
Yeah, a guy who watches a show every week and loves it, is much more unstable than someone who watches a show every week, hates it and talks smack about it every week
Yes, because Lost is a special show.Anyone who takes this show seriously is retartded. We watch it because it is funny. But this episode wasn’t even funny
I hope the ratings went uner 8 million!
Yeah you’re absolutly right
Out of curiosity: Did you forget to change your name before you consented to your own comment?
Yeah, sometimes the undercover fanboys are confused by their own nicknames.lol
I start to realize that all the fanboys here are not really fanboys. They pretend to be fanboys. I cannot believe that somebody is so stupid that he likes the show and visits this site every day.
No im always LOSTnLOST
I rarely come and post here, sorry son.
Uh-huh. At 9:40 this morning, there were 44 posts. 16 of them are yours, which means you’ve made over 33% of the posts.
Being demonstrably stupid is no way to go through life son.
Being stupid?
LOST is known as one of TVs greatest shows.
Keep telling yourself otherwise. Yes YOU may dislike it, but there is none other show that has a bigger hardcore fanbase like LOST.
I converted many people who used to laugh at me for watching LOST, but now they love it.
LOST FTMFW
Then you are a hero my brotha! But your mission seems to be failing as less and less people watch this suckfest!
Still: Why did you consent to your own comment?
“but there is none [sic] other show that has a bigger hardcore fanbase like LOST”
I think there are a few gazillion Trekkies who would gladly argue this point over at StarTrek.com. When you’re finished getting pwned here, you can go over there and get your ass handed to you for as long as you care to post.
“I converted many people who used to laugh at me for watching LOST, but now they love it.”
Did you do this “converting” at gunpoint, or was the cattle prod sufficient?
“I converted many people who used to laugh at me for watching LOST, but now they love it.”
But you only showed them season one on DVD right?
he forgot to tell you that its the mental ward at the state mental hospital…
great epi . miles and hurley talking about farting..just great
How come a body can start to smell of decomposition that bad even through a body bag being dead only one or two hours?
Im pretty sure a dead body wouldnt smell good, before or after decomposition
then Miles must have really farted!
No, a dead body starts only to smell bad when decompostion begins and has reached a certain stage, what it can’t yet. Unless the living version had already smelled bad before dying because he avoided washing, independent of being dead or not.
A freshly dead corpse will evacuate its bowels and bladder fairly soon after death.
That’s where the smell comes from so soon.
There you got me! Damn it, didn’t think of that.
glad to see that three retarded people are still posting on tyler’s lame excuse for a blog. wow, tyler mentions gun-cocking in his imbecilic episode summary. jesus christ, dude, that’s like seven fucking times you’ve reused that inane joke.
i know that you’re not exactly a talented writer, but could you try putting some actual effort into your posts? your “regulars” aren’t really posting anything of value (people are posting shit like “hurley is fat.” real intelligent stuff!), so i’m not sure why this site still exists. probably because you like the attention.
and you misspelled “whisperer,” idiot. is english your second language? try spellcheck. i can’t wait for someone to use the word fanboy YET AGAIN to justify their posts! fuck you all.
raped
ASS
What a joke! A guy with no punctuation skills talks about spelling!
I can’t see anything wrong with his punctuation, sexy
Says the spider to the fly..
his punctuation is pretty much flawless, actually. And your use of the spider and fly cliche doesn’t really make sense here.
I was saying that to his use of “sexy”.
And no I don’t want to give punctuation lessons to you, you can look it up anywhere but here’s a hint – no capital letters at the beginning of sentences and left out hanging clauses.
And no, English is not my first language, so please excuse me if I don’ know something that you do.
(I wrote this last night before I saw all the posts, so if I reiterate some else’s point, sorry!)
This has to be the worst episode of the season.
What happened:
- We find out that Miles’ father is on the island
- We find out that Dan is back
That’s it. How was the construction of the hatch revealing? We saw them building it and we saw the numbers being put on? When Ben’s dad runs off to get security, he ends up drinking on a swing. Kate, who has always been good at lying, walks up to him for no good reason and acts like an idiot. Jack handles the scene in the school room as suspiciously as possible. The Empire Strikes Back analogy was a poorly-executed pop culture nod. When Juliet says, “here we go,” nothing actually happens. Or, rather, we are led to assume that everyone was notified about young Ben being missing, but nobody actually talks about it. Sawyer, Juliet and Jack talk about Kate nearly giving away the secret but if the compound has been notified about the kid missing, wouldn’t Kate and Juliet already be under suspicion? If the quality was on par with Season 1 and 2, they would have actually show the scene where the guy digging the Hatch ditch gets his molar filling magnetically pulled through his brain…not to be morbid, but it would have been cool. If the body/package was such a secret, why did Marvin Candle shout across the Orchid construction site for two DI members to come take the body. How many people know about this secret? The Hurly/Miles conversation about dead people could have been a serious one…why did they turn it into a jokey exchange about “my power is better than yours?” How in the world does dragging someone into a van convince them to turn down 1.6 million dollars? The shadow of the statue comments just convince me further that of all the answerless questions that the Lost writers raised in Seasons 1 and 2, the four-toed statue is going to be one of the most laughable.
Characters on this show used to get ignored because they were dead or missing. Now they get ignored for entire episodes or seasons no reason. I bet anything that when Rose and Bernard finally reappear, there will be no good reason that they were written out of the show for so long.
I found the humanization of Marvin Candle touching, when he was reading to his kid. The reappearance of Dan was a neat surprise. This all happened in the last minute. These should have been minor plus notes.
The thing I find most frustrating is that the major plot points are interesting…it’s the execution, the needlessly poor writing and the confusing, benign choices that characters make that I find annoying.
I’m not quitting Lost, but I’m not watching it live any more. I could be utilizing be brain cells doing something else at 9pm and then fall asleep bored out of my mind before bed.
******
Note to LostInLost. This IS a character show, but the writers make the characters behave in uncharacteristic ways, which ruins the whole point of having a character you can love.
I didnt read any of that except:
“This has to be the worst episode of the season.
What happened:
- We find out that Miles’ father is on the island
- We find out that Dan is back
That’s it.”
Not every episode has to be revealing you know
AND
“Note to LostInLost. This IS a character show, but the writers make the characters behave in uncharacteristic ways, which ruins the whole point of having a character you can love. ”
Are you serious no other show has done character development better and more believable than LOST has. Well at least in my opinion
From what Sawyer and Jack were when we first met them in season 1 is amazing. It feels legit too, seeing the choices they have made.
“Are you serious no other show has done character development better and more believable than LOST has”
hahaa. comment of the week!
“I didnt read any of that except:
This has to be the worst episode of the season.”
Of course you didn’t! Cause otherwise you would have been confronted with lots of good observations, analogies and analysis unmasking LOST, which you would have had to counter with solid arguments yourself, what you – like every other LOST defender till today – are obviously not able to do. In avoiding explaining you match the show’s writers’ spirit!
“Not every episode has to be revealing you know”
1. Near the end of the fifth of six seasons: of course every episode has to be, concerning what’s still unanswered!
2. Problem is almost no episode is revealing!
3. There’s is a difference between “not revealing” and “telling nothing of importance in an inconsistent way”!
Personally, I’ve never seen a show that had more cleverly written character development than Arrested Development. LOST can’t even stay on course with their characters. The writers forget about whole droves of characters, or introduce a new character only to ignore them shortly thereafter. How the hell can you really call that the best, most believable character development? In comparison, most shows on TV offer better character development! Mad Men, Big Love, Arrested Devlopment, Friends, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, Aqua Teen Hunger Force…
Sorry, but LOST scrapes the bottom of the barrel. You may like it, but liking it and saying it’s good and well written is like saying twinkies are healthy because they taste good to you.
Completely right!
I knew this epi would be bad, but am not really glad to be proved right.
The only thing I want to add is that I’m liking Jack more and more these days. He actually goes to Sawyer and Juliet and tells them what happened! That oughta be a first!
Good pickup! I completely missed that!
Here’s my WTF moment from last night: Death’s door Ben has been removed from the compound for AT LEAST an hour (think of the van ride out there, the meeting with Batmanuel, the drive back, etc.) This means Botox has had at least an hour (more likely 2 or 3) to maybe, you know, think about what explanation she’s going to give when SOMEBODY wants to know what’s happened to him. After all, she’s his doctor, and now the patient has up and vanished.
But instead of coming up with some lie to buy time (which every Lost character does on a regular basis), she’s like a deer in the headlights when Ben’s dad wants to know where the hell he is—it was like she never considered the fact that she would actually be asked this question! Complelety ridiculous!
The worse part is this – kate actually has taken his son away and yet wants to tell Ben’s father that she has a “feeling” that Ben is okay! Nutcase!
Yeah, it’s like Kate saying in the pilot-episode: “Sawyer! Stop fighting Sayid, cause you think he was the one handcuffed on the plane. Cause I have a ‘feeling’ the prisoner was female!”
Why didn’t she actually say this back then? Because LOST was good!
Fwiw, it was refreshing to have Sawyer actually respond like a real person and say something to the effect of “omg wtf is wrong with her brain!” Too little too late, but still.
you are so right she should have answered “it really dosen’t matter” or at least “‘i will get back with you on that”… with that said this is why lost sucks. now this is something substantial. my question is where is yours mister jackoff jimbo jones ya little freaky faggot fanboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m not quitting Lost, but I’m not watching it live any more. I could be utilizing be brain cells doing something else at 9pm and then fall asleep bored out of my mind before bed.”
I can completely identify with this feeling. Shitty show-fun to rip on- painful to watch- needless to watch live every wednesday
What a deep and mysterious show. I’m starting to see life from a different plane now.
And how is it down there?
Dude, come on. Ben must be a satirical persona.
oh fuck you know as well as i do that he aint nothing but a freaky faggot fanboy that should never be left alone with children. my bet is that he has got to send out the little fliers in the neighborhood if ya know what i mean…
Did anybody noticed the writers ultimately admitting their failure? I mean with them being that intelligent and knowing exactly what they are doing, the following line can’t be a coincidence without intended metaphorical sense:
“It all could have been avoided, if they just – you know – COMMUNICATED! Let’s face it, the last two seasons suck (Ewoks = timetravel), dude!”
Hilarious
!
Still using the “There making it as they go along” ploy
1. Why shouldn’t I as it is still valid!
2. In fact I meant – analogous to Hurley – that it could all have been avoided if the CHARACTERS, not the writers, had talked to each other atleast since the beginning of season two (The writers ARE communicating I’m sure, but it’s no use, that’s why they are bad). They could have started to explore the mysteries and still could have great adventures on the island, and it all could have come to a satisfying end after season 4 without leaving the island what by the way destroyed the feeling of being lost (You remember when the title actually discribed the atmosphere?).
past: Characters “lost” in life and space today: Characters “lost” their mind, brains, sanity, reason, intellect…

Lindelof said that a DVD set of the first season will come out this summer, before a second season begins in the fall. As the show progresses, he added, it won’t venture too far into science fiction as its mysteries unfold. “We’re still trying to be … firmly ensconced in the world of science fact,” he said in an interview. “I don’t think we’ve shown anything on the show yet … that has no rational explanation in the real world that we all function within. We certainly hint at psychic phenomena, happenstance and … things being in a place where they probably shouldn’t be. But nothing is flat-out impossible. There are no spaceships. There isn’t any time travel.”
One of the most ridiculous thing on the show is the suspenseful music. In this episode NOTHING happned but it was full of it.
Like i said before, why does something huge have to happen every episode?
It doesn’t have to you asshole, but then they shouldn’t use music lkie this! But you can’t understand it because you are a true fanboy, though I thought you were joking.
You don’t even get Simon’s point, do you?
I thought you had dabating societies in school in the states
I live in the UK
Then you should damn well know better shouldn’t you?
Because there are only 30 episodes left that need to address 300 mysteries. Also, if nothing huge happens, the music shouldn’t pretend like something huge happens every minute.
You can’t make this stuff up:
9:00 pm Lost starts
9:02 pm Sawyer has already addressed two questions with “I’ll fill you in later!” and “I ain’t got time for questions! Just do it!”
9:04 pm Gun-cocking
9:05 pm New Dharma guy whose name I haven’t bothered to learn (not Shawshank guy) addresses question about bullet-in-head corpse with “It doesn’t matter what happened to him!”
Laughs ensue.
The rest of the episode was Haley Joel Chinese Dude flashback filler (ZOMG! Candle is his father! And he has daddy issues! Just like Jack! And Kate! And Sawyer! And Ben! And Sayid! And all the other major characters!)
Kate continued her run as an everything-ruiner by lacking even rudimentary common sense and practically spilling the beans to Ben’s dad, then, for comic relief, Darlton turned Hurley into a grown-up version of the sandwich-obsessed fat kid from “Bad Santa.”
And to top it all off, douchebag Faraday made a “shocking” return on the only submarine that makes more round trips than the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disneyworld.
Boom. CRAPFEST
Come on what pathetic reasons why the show sucks, really, tell me you’re not trying
I would try to answer this question—if it is a question—but the jumble of words you posted makes absolutely no sense.
But I can see why you’re a Lost fan.
PLEASE, tell us why lost DOESN’T suck. We are curious!
What would be the point, you would just dispell it.
No, I really want to know. Tell us!
Simon go and die in a corner, you’re useless!
Why do fans come to this site is the same of why do haters still watch it, we live in a crazy world…but you Simon are a big idiot, but not to worry, you are not alone, they are tons of trash like you on any forums, especially on imdb or sport forums! I’m sick off people like you on the internet.
Whenever any of us asks for an explanation, we get another insult. Way to prove your “lost doesn’t suck” theory Alex.
This guy Simon is just an idiot!
“What would be the point, you would just dispell it.”
1. How do you know that? No one of your defenders’ branch has ever brought up real conclusive arguments why LOST doesn’t suck! Did the island tell you?
2. Unlike us you and your fellers are the only ones that have proven themselves to be dispelling arguments! But you always have the chance to proof us all wrong. JUST START ARGUING!!!!
——————–
@Alexey:
“I’m sick off people like you on the internet. ”
And I’m sick of the fact that those people like us are still needed on the internet to point out even that obvious humiliations of human intellect like LOST has become as there are people like you, who feel… don’t know… caressed(?) by that humiliation as a morbid kind of affection and who embrace it therefor!
your mom should have told you that you can’t argue about taste! music,movies etc
I don’t go to sites like imdb to bash movies, it’s just stupid and lame.I didn’t like watchman at all, but i don’t go there to write a post about how overrated and stupid it is! I don’t like it period, but I do like other shows that they don’t, its just the way it is, you know the whole individual thing.
Even LOTR has big haters or TDK, etc
people like me are normal who likes a show, people like you are a new breed that hates it, watch it, and Simon is a fucking idiot, the biggest, a real looser, he post way to often here, I wonder when the show ends, what is he going to do, …move to whybattlestargalacticasucks . haha
You mix up two different concepts!
Talking about taste is: “I like it!” “I don’t!” “OK.”
But we are talking about the objective quality of a TVshow! We point out non-arguable facts and then we try to explain logically plausibly why we think that those facts show that LOST is badly written. Now your job is to either proof that the facts our explaining is based on are wrong or to explain more logically plausibly why our conclusion based on correctly non-arguable facts is not as logically plausible as we think.
And having done that you can say “As I have demonstrated, your criticism is untenable, it’s bullshit, so no reason to dislike LOST, so I like it!”
, I also like things that are a waste”
But as you haven’t got the job done yet, you can only say “OK you’re absolutely right with your criticism. All those things about LOST suck! Objectively it’s crap! But sorry, I just can’t help it, I like it anyway!” And we (at least I) would say “OK, well… Hey, no prob, that’s taste
man it’s simple, why do you still watch a bad written show, I just don’t get it, i find the others to watch just to return here and make fun, thus loosing 1+ hour of their life, you I find more serioes a little!
For me its not a bad written show, sure it has flaws, but what show doesn’t. I like the complexity about it, and like I said its a guess show, and also Sci Fi
whatever! , I don’t have to prove anything, but I did wanted to call Simon un idiot,…thats it
Alex you are the greatest loser I’ve ever heard. You can’t argue because you know that we are right, everyone who is not retarded seed that the worst writing on TV comes from the creaters of Lost, especially from JJ.Shithead, who is the greatest asshole on this planet.
You can call me an idiot.But what if I am an idiot.
It still doesn”t change the fact that LOST SUCKS!
sorry for the spelling I drank too much beer
the 1000 question Simon, why do you still fucking watch it ?
you and the rest of the brains around here…boring people
I watch it because I invested much time in it, I liked the first 3 seasons. It is still entertaining beacuse it is the most ridiculous show on TV now. This is called GUILTY PLEASURE. Do you know what it means?
If you find this site so boring and bad then why do you visit it every day?
You are the same as us.
GUILTY PLEASURE …now thats intersting
the problem is you’re not fair, even if a episode was better you are still trying to milk it out with some ridiculous details. come on a normal person would have watch it, if he liked a least 40 % of the season, but lets say I do get it why you and the some of the rest just watch it, to come here and have a bang.
however if this site was not running, would you still watch it.
do you still want some answers or the show its ”over” for you
If it weren’t for this site I would still watch it I suppose . But I’m not sure I would watch it from week to week, as now the show is painfully bad.
Yes, it is totally over for me, I know all the “answers”.
In which answer are you ineterested in? I can give you it right now!
Why are they pathetic reasons (which in fact they are not. They are examples of the reasons why the show sucks! So as I’ll immediately ask you for arguing: start to argue against our LOST-sucks-reasons we have explained over and over again throughout this blog themselves and do not just argue against our examples of them like your kind is doing all the time to conceal that you can’t reason against the true elementary flaws of LOST!)?
Start arguing! Please!
I find this episode very good, still the idiots complain.ON 316, bentham episodes there was some good reasons off why those suck, but come on!
Why didn’t you like this episode, because of Miles ability, or because it was more like a filler.HA watch supernatural instead, or other all filler shows.
This episode was good enough said
“Why didn’t you like this episode, because of Miles ability”
Me personal: Yes! But also (like most here) because of the way they handled it in the Hurley-Miles conversation.
“or because it was more like a filler”
Yes, exactly!! But mainly because being a filler is the writer’s main concept for storytelling throughout the last three and a half seasons and specially this season dishonestly disguised as being “character driven”. And it’s even not that! It’s “driving characters over the edge”. You see, they don’t concentrate on the characters instead of advancing plot, but they pretend to concentrate on the characters instead of the plot – as with characters pretending is a lot easier than with plot – because they have obviously no intention to concentrate on anything in this show anymore, except throwing in formal mythology-treats from time to time to pretend that over their “concentrating” on the characters they don’t forget about their great over-all-mystery-concept, that is also full of flaws – as we are constantly pointing out – , “what however doesn’t really matter that much” because they are – as we all know – “concentrating on the characters” as LOST is a “character driven show”!
My whole problem with the episode was that “Dr. Chang is Miles’s dad” is stretched to a whole hour.
-> We already knew Miles talks to dead people
-> We already knew there’s the number on the hatch door.
-> We found out the stations were “constructed” which anyone with a bit of logic would have to know.
-> We found out the Dharma people care more about a dead guy (who we didn’t know in the first place and weren’t told why he died and needed to be taken here and there) than about an alive sick kid.
Think about it, first of all we didn’t know the dude on the instruction videos, now we know his son and that the son can talk to dead people. I mean, where’s this all leading to?
Just because you like an episode and others don’t, doesn’t make the others stupid.
you don’t like any episode , what’s the point
I liked Sayid’s episode, I even said that here. But when you do ever see the good part? if there’s something to like, I do. If its some kind of drama like soap operas, I can crib how much ever I want. Its my prerogative..
And BTW thats no answer to my points whatsoever..
sorry but i’ll stop arguing about taste k?
so no answer to your points ,cuz i’m tired of this game and this site
Then click the cross mark on the website and delete it from “My favourites” :-p.
I wonder -
- Does having no answers make you tired?
- Maybe its thinking what to answer makes you tired.
- or the fact that you can’t come up with another “if you don’t like it why watch it” line that makes you tired?
Maybe its actually trying to convince yourself that lost doesn’t suck is making you tired. Come join the dark side!
“sorry but i’ll stop arguing about taste k?”
As i answered you above, it’s not about taste!
“so no answer to your points ,cuz i’m tired of this game and this site”
astonishing, that you guys always get tired, when you’re supposed to deliver real arguments, but you’re always fresh enough to “want to call Simon un idiot” e.g.
I did give good arguments, on other posts
You could say: the last good way to still avoid giving arguments
.
But OK, I did this once myself, so…
One request: Could you please just copy and paste one of your good-argument-posts here or tell me the exact date and time of posting to identify it myself? Cause if I start looking for one of yours myself then a) it would take me a lot of time and b) when I think I’ve found one and start replying you could still say “Dude, that actually was not one of my good-argument-posts I meant, sorry!”
Yeah, shouldn’t Roger realize that Kate and Juliet caused his son to go missing and complain about it to Horace or Marvin?
And that security guy just tops it. He KNOWS LaFleur acted treacherously but doesn’t tell anybody except the guy himself.
Dude, I laughed my ass off at his post and the the most important thing is…he’s fucking right.
This show sucks so much ass that I smell shit being broadcast from ABC at 8/9 pm every Wednesday.
Just give it up
I have a question about Faraday returning – didn’t they say when Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid showed up on the island that the submarine wasn’t returning for SIX MONTHS so they’d better pretend that they were on the latest shipment of new recruits? What, it’s been like three days and already the submarine is back? I guess the writers forgot what they had written just three episodes ago.
Excellent post. I had forgotten about that too. An equally interesting question is how Sawyer, Juliet, Miles and Jin were able to be employed by DHARMA without having anyone to cover for them.
I knew this epi would be bad, but am not glad to be proved right.
The only thing I want to add is that I’m liking Jack more and more these days. He actually goes to Sawyer and Juliet and tells them what happened! That oughta be a first!
So what is this season working towards anyway? Basically to show and tell?
That was a pointless episode. Stalling for time. But for what, it beats me.
“Hello Ben” – Locke.
“Hello Miles” – Faraday.
Lets see:
Miles dad – Anyone not figure that out before the reveal?
Circle of trust – The best laugh out loud moment of the show.
Numbers – Serial number? Seriously that’s the best you could come up with? Okay I get the fact that the numbers are really meaningless and just yet another “mystery” for the sake of having a mystery but a serial number? Come on, what possible fucking reason would there be to put a serial number on the hatch at that point? Maybe when you first make the hatch but not as you are installing it.
BTW – where the fuck is all the equipment needed to build the shit they are building. Come on not a crane, bulldozer, etc in sight. The only thing you ever see is the little cement mixer that would take a 100 years to mix enough concrete.
Panda bears – Yet another mystery for the sake of mysteries finally wrapped up as meaningless experiments.
Other others – Not sure what else to call the new group of characters so I’ll go with the other other’s for now. Yet another reference to the shadow of the statue. Yay, another mystery. No doubt the final season will be full of flash backs and forwards of the other other’s as we explore this riveting mystery…
“The only thing you ever see is the little cement mixer that would take a 100 years to mix enough concrete.”
This was hilarious. Darlton is betting on the fact that people have no idea how much concrete would be needed for a project this size. Just pouring a driveway or a single-family house foundation would take forever (and be completely nonsensical) with this set-up!
“That’s right: let’s just whip up one cubic yard at a time. Maybe we’ll be be done by 2025.”
Boom. LOST
The concrete along with all those VW microbus’s came via that dinky submarine – a few bags of cement at a time or bumpers, tires, etc.
Face it people, Dharma are retards.
So it was night time when Hurley and Miles got back. A full day to deliver some sandwiches? Those construction boys are lite eaters?
Many tons of rebar would be needed for all that concrete construction too.
And a few tons of electrical conduit and gigantic coils of copper wire of various sizes for the electrical system.
Don’t forget about the plumbing too. Lots of pipe and fixtures.
How bout all the lumber for the framing and the plywood for the molds?
And where is the sand? And the gravel?
I can just see these Dharma retards running daily VW convoys as they try to haul sand in from the beach. Completely inefficient, plus you would burn out major engine and suspension components on an accelerated basis—thus requiring more submarine trips loaded down with spare parts that Botox and Kate can install when they’re not talking about Sawyer.
“Miles dad – Anyone not figure that out before the reveal?” – Yes. A show not changing its game plan because fans have figured it out is a perfectly reasonable flaw.
“Circle of trust – The best laugh out loud moment of the show.” – It’s nice to see how well you justify your criticisms.
“Numbers – Serial number? Seriously that’s the best you could come up with? Okay I get the fact that the numbers are really meaningless and just yet another “mystery” for the sake of having a mystery but a serial number? Come on, what possible fucking reason would there be to put a serial number on the hatch at that point? Maybe when you first make the hatch but not as you are installing it.” – And the code was also printed on the side of the Hatch. I care so much that I’m going to hate the episode!
“BTW – where the fuck is all the equipment needed to build the shit they are building. Come on not a crane, bulldozer, etc in sight. The only thing you ever see is the little cement mixer that would take a 100 years to mix enough concrete.” – lol this is a genuine flaw, but that’s hardly enough to constitute a BAD EPISODE.
“Panda bears – Yet another mystery for the sake of mysteries finally wrapped up as meaningless experiments.” – When, throughout the show, were panda bears mentioned?
“Other others – Not sure what else to call the new group of characters so I’ll go with the other other’s for now. Yet another reference to the shadow of the statue. Yay, another mystery. No doubt the final season will be full of flash backs and forwards of the other other’s as we explore this riveting mystery…” – Correct! No group of people has been established as destroyed! It’s impossible that these people are working on a return to power!
I dare any Lost fan-boy to say that this “what lies at the shadow of the statue?” storyline was planned all along, because it so clearly wasn’t.
Introducing many new characters and new villains is a trademark of a dying show.
I personally don’t know what lies at the shadow of the statue, but I know what scripts, ideas and plot devices were lying at the bottom of the barrel, because we witness them every Wednesday at 9:00.
The show is ending. When will you dipshits shut the fuck up about saying they want to beat a dead horse when the show is ending in literally one year from now?
LOST BOUNCES OFF ITS LOW
Once again, thanks to a Criminal Minds rerun, Lost picks up a few more viewers and finishes with 9.01 mil. Unfortunately for Darlton, the key demo is still below 4. And the show is doing NOTHING as a lead-in for The Unusuals. It is the latest show “in the shadow of the statue” that is Lost which has no chance of surviving. Not even an unfrozen, re-aligned donkey wheel can save it.
The ABC suits are not going to like this AT ALL…
Curious to know how and where they managed to pick up some viewers. Even though Criminal Minds was a repeat, it actually did much better than Lost in all categories.
Usually a CM repeat drops well behind Lost.
its Star Wars dickhead
I think he meant the actual commercial for the new Star Trek movie poopface
Good job Alexey. Well done you really got’em. Everybody really needs to chut up this is cool show for intelinent peolpe.
“intelinent peolpe.”
I sincerely hope you are a satirical character.
Good job Alexey. Well done you really got’em. Everybody really needs to shut up this is cool show for intelinent peolpe.
“Intelinent” 2 times? Thats really intelligent Ben
.
Ha!
i said chut up
LOST is the shittiest sit-com on TV.
“Intelinent” means “goofy”, right?
As in smart you fucking dumbass
I find it trying that you use the same arguments week after week. You have become the polar opposite of fanboys, and you are destined to pan the show no matter what they do. I will agree that this was not the best outing of Lost but it certainly went back to “unresolved plotlines”.
Guess what? They showed the fucking hatch being built. They stamped the fucking numbers on it. They tied up a whole bunch of loose Season 4 threads, the kind you always bitch and whine about and they even hammered in that the polar bear is fucking answered. That’s one the dipshits fail to get every time.
I can accept valid criticism but this is just contradiction and stupidity. This is just finding flaws with everything. This is doubling back on your own collective opinions to point out flaws. This is bullshit.
Ok, to be fair those questions we’re “answered”… but not really answered. To put it better, the “what”s are being answered but not the “why”s.
So we know what the polar bear was doing there, it was part of an experiment… but why? And what’s the experiment?
We know what the numbers we’re doing there, they were innocent unto themselves and just another occurence… But why are the numbers so important? And what are they?
The reason the polar bear is there was because the Dharma Zoological Scientists were doing experiments on differing species, studying their abilities to adapt to changing climates and such.
The numbers are important because they are the “core numerical values” to the Valenzetti Equation. The Valenzetti Equation “predicts” the end of the world due to humanity “wiping itself out.”
The reason hardly anyone knows these answers: They weren’t discussed much (or at all) on the show. In fact I needed Lostpedia for a refresher. You have to watch an ARG video entitled “The Sri Lanka Video” which explains these things. So any casual Lost fan–is lost for lack of a better term.
This is just another reason the show sucks. Some mythology is good, some mystery is good, but you have to answer these questions in a timely and direct measure. By shoving aside answers or relegating them to ARGs, the core base of casual fans will get pissed and leave the show. This is what Lost has done.
Note: Even the “Valenzetti Equation” has hardly been explained. We just know some “mathematician” “calculated” the “values” as if it is mathematically possible to “predict the end of the world.”
Still the question is:
Why are those ““core numerical values” stamped onto the hatch?
Although I know my shoesize and although this four digit number I have in my head actually means something as it is my credit-card-PIN, I don’t stamp them onto the hood of my car or my bathtub!
But even the “what”s weren’t answered because the “answers were already known:
- The numbers: As they were stamped onto the hatch, we already knew that they had to have been stamped onto it
- the bears: Since we saw the zoological Hydra-Station with Sawyers/Kates Love-bear-cage we all new, that the bears where part of AN experiment
That’s always the concept: By showing the same mysterious facts simply from different “angels” at different times, they are not answering anything, they are in fact just reminding that there are still the same questions unanswered.
Getting answers is all well and good. But all these answers are doing is confirming what I’ve known since season 1. And that is that they are creating “mysteries” for the sake of having mysteries. What the fuck is the point of having a mystery that goes on for multiple seasons when the answer is so lame and boring nobody gives a fuck?
Because it makes for interesting television. They are creating mysteries for the sake of it. That’s the whole point. I get that not everybody is a fan of non-linear storytelling but rather than giving us a show which starts off in the Dharma initiative and slowly progresses to showing us every moment of everybody’s lives in slow motion, this is a far more interesting approach to the storytelling.
Of course it is far more interesting approach to the story telling, but even with a superior approach to it, you still have to tell a good developed story.
JJ and Darlton is no Tarantino
Season 1 was pretty good. Season 2 was great.
And this is one of the many reasons I love coming here. Typically, I read, but, as you can see by my posts in the WHH thread, I sometimes post. That’s irrelevant. Anyway, you guys lump together season 1 and 2 together all the time.
*WUOTE THE MAJORITY OF WHYLOSTSUCKS- “Seasons 1 and 2 were great television! What happened?”
Season 1 was not great television.
Episode 1 – Clumsy episode, decent for a pilot. Let’s give it up for Jack’s lone tear as he relays his ‘emotional’ story!
Episode 2 – Clumsier episode! O BUT CHAHLYS KWESTION IS LOST HO HO HO. The episode that destroyed any credibility introduced by the pilot by having the oft-cited polar bear come, but the characters interact decently (in some cases)
Episode 3 – Awful. Archetypal Kate episode in that the flashbacks are terrible (but I liked WHH’s flashbacks!) and that her actions destroy a lot of the enjoyment to be garnered. Characters continue to act extraordinarily superficially.
Episode 4 – Overrated as shit. Poor character episode that gets by on its flashbacks. Interactions among the castaways are silly, pointless, and filler.
Episode 5 – Superficial character episode that introduced the idea of resurrection (which people here seem to just love!)
Episode 6 – Stereotypical and superficial (:)) episode that has quite possibly the worst a-plot in the entire show. It is only redeemed by the fact that
Episode 7 – This, and I can’t stress this enough, gets an incredibly high amount of unwarranted praise. IT WUZ SO SYMBOLIK. Symbol and allegory work with subtlety. Actually EXPLAINING the damn symbolism is fail.
Episode 8 – The a-plot was ridiculous (a common theme throughout early season 1!) and the flashbacks are hardly redeemable. The best part is the torture scene. And the best part? It was all for a kiss!
Episode 9 – The first episode ever to actually dwell on the greater mythology surrounding the island. That doesn’t mean it’s good. Furlan’s acting is almost as bad as Naveen’s, and there is an inability to create genuine tension.
Episode 10 – Solid episode with a great ending. Can’t really fault it.
Episode 11 – Similar, excluding the point about the ending.
Episode 12 – Worst episode of the series. Awful, awful flashbacks surrounding an awful, awful a-plot. Just terrible.
Episode 13 – Silly plot that helps a minor, unlikeable character come to a revelation. The flashbacks are boring and (shock!) superficial.
Episode 14 – Decent flashbacks; terrible a-plot and a silly (but fun) b-plot.
Episode 15 – AGAIN, awful flashbacks. But the on-island plot is enthralling.
Episode 16 – Decent character episode. Flashbacks are good, island plot not as much so (but still solid).
Episode 17 – YES. Great flashbacks with a great plot, all of which gets resolved by blaming the black 10-yr-old.
Episode 18 – The goods of episode 17 are negated by this silly Hurley-centric. Perhaps, if some GENUINE CARCHTER goodness came out of it, it wouldn’t be as shit.
Episode 19 – Best of the season. Flashbacks that mirror the on-island plot entirely, true emotion and depth, as well as a silly b-plot, and the first major character’s death (well, not yet)
Episode 20 – The aforementioned main character’s actual death. Whopee.
Episode 21 – Deals with the fallout of the character’s death, and does so brilliantly. The flashbacks are superficial, but the actions taken by the characters aren’t.
Episode 22 – Shit, like the other two Kate episodes.
Episode 23 – Decent character episode for all the main characters. Very solid, very beyond the typical season 1 episode.
Episode 24/25 – Slow finale that stretches the decent character interaction of the prior episode to a point taut enough to split at any second. I
Oh boy! The blog cut off my post!
IN CONCLUSION, Season 2 is infinitely better than 1. In fact, they’re on opposite sides of the spectrum (yes, season 3 IS better than season 1)
Season 1 is grossly overrated. The more casual fans love it and refer to it as DA GOLDEN AEG but its really not.
Season 2, on the other hand, was the season in which fans were nigh-prosecuted. The plots grew to be sci-fi (which nobody had a problem with prior!) and fans of season 1 tore it apart.
And you guys… place it on the same scale as your glorious season 1?
OPINION
lmao that 1 word just raped that half hour essay of yours. Looool
That half hour essay took 10 minutes, fanboy. And don’t deny it. You say the show is great without inhibition, and you defend against any criticism with the word “opinion”. The show has its flaws. It’s no Wire, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great show regardless.
Absolutely brilliant. I can’t allow you to waste your genius on this website. Go and seek the employment of the Lost writing staff, I’m sure you will write awesomely retarded dribble of even more exquisite quality than we have seen so far.
wait, wait a minute here now let me get this straight, i know that you two freaky faggot fanboys are just that and you are on a cite about lost sucking and are fighting with one another now i know i am mentally challanged here but what is the matter with this picture. you fucks need to get a better connect cuz rhe shit you got is nothing but bunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually… Suicide Sam has a point about season 1 being overrated. I watched the first couple seasons online and saw them back-to-back. I remember seeing the icon for one of the episodes where Losties had guns (the first gun-cocking on the show…) and thinking how silly that was. The first episode included the monster in the woods (that I thought, at the time, might be dinosaurs, lol.) I think we had more suspended judgement back then because we didn’t know what was going on or what to expect. However, the first season does set a precedence that this show shouldn’t be taken too seriously… polar bears in the jungle, monster in the woods, guns on a (supposedly) uninhabited island, overacting… It wasn’t exactly a grand slam, but it was interesting and entertaining.
I think that’s what makes the criticisms of the last couple seasons so much more solid, though… because the writing actually got worse. And one thing that also set a precedence was that the first season proposed questions… AND answered them. Of course, not everything was answered, but we kinda assumed they would be, eventually… But now here we are, 4 seasons later, and many of those mysteries are not only unanswered, but are further complicated by adding too many other major and trivial additions and twists that make it hard for the writers to justify… Or they were shrugged off by the writers as being not that important by just answering them with a very simple, meaningless and uninteresting reveal… Or they just took too long to get back to it (that’s a preference issue. Many others I’ve talked to have said they actually enjoy the drawn out movement of the plot. I think it’s shoddy and unintentionally meandering.) But the fact is that, we knew we wear watching a story unfold when it started… only to find the comical realization that it just keeps unfolding and unfolding… kinda like a clown routine!
Not to mention that one of the greatest complaints is the loss of the plot twists we found interesting in season one… they disappeared and that’s what’s disappointing…
See now I really liked season one.
And season two.
I liked both seasons though I preferred season one.
Yet I found your analysis of both seasons to be funny and I get your points about why you think they sucked.
Can’t really argue except to say I liked those seasons.
lol? I must have gotten my message across badly. If I recall, season 2 was the one that casual fans hated, and it was also my favorite season.
My bad.
I read your post too fast.
That was quite a wall of text you put together. I didn’t read it, but I’m glad you got it off your chest.
Ewoks suck, dude.
Nothing happened this episode, but not much really bad happened either, so this one was one of the better episodes this season.
It’s funny how as the episodes get more and more ridiculous as the weeks go on, the trolls are spending more and more time here. Reading LOSTnLOST clutching at straws was good entertainment. Poor guy must have had his feelings hurt by us!
HELL YEAH, Hurley is re-writing Star Wars and all of the characters are FAGS. Therefore most everyone on this blogo-d-LOST should really eat cheese sandwiches over that or maybe mow each others lawns. YOU SUCK Lost writers of the blog, writers of the purple blogs, What? Hey ride the white pony…
you are gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was actually pleased with the pacing of this episode when Miles said tutorial-man was his dad halfway into the episode. i had been sure that it was going to be the big reveal at the very end, before the BOOM. maybe there will be an actual revelation, i thought. it turned out to be equally bad: “hello, Miles. long time no see.” BOOM. LOST.
The rest of the season will be Faraday centric, Richard centric and Jacob centric. Okay… Finally some mysteries answered. But NO! Then it wouldn’t be Lost would it? I read we will even see a 2030 version of Aaron and Ji Yeon in the next ep. How hilarious would that be?
No episode is going to be Jacob-centric this season.
Whoever the central characters of the rest of the season turn out to be, they’ll still be stumbling through a silly show
Started good, but damn sure lost its way.
Bad pseudo-sci fi, bad dialog, bad writing. LOST.
nice summary, brotha.
All the best cowboys have daddy issues:
Jack
Kate
Locke
Sawyer
Sayid
Ben
Walt
Miles
Hurley
Sun
Jin
Claire
Who else?
Maybe JJ Abrams ?
Exactly.
To all you lost fans out there who are crying right now because of what all the mean people are saying I have the following statements (due to your low intelligence and obvious inbreeding you are likely unaware off these simple facts).
1) Santa clause does not exist
Lost really, really sucks
2) The easter bunny does not exist
3) The stalk did not deliver you to your parents (you know the ones who are brother and sister)
4) JJ Abrams is a hack
5) Everyone on this site enjoys annoying you thats why many post here, so please no more dumb comments about if you hate lost so much why do you watch it (for the record I don’t I come purely to taunt lost fans)
6) JJ Abrams is a hack (I’ve mentioned this already but i’m guessing you couldn’t read it properly the first time through all your tears)
7) For those of you old enough to be a realtionship your other half has already realised how stupid you are and whilst you watch lost they are getting it on with the person you honestly believe is just a friend
9) Scientific proof now exists showing that lost fans actually have the same genetic defects previously only found in reality TV viewers
10) The replies you are about to right no doubt saying i’m gay or stupid will neither worry nor effect me as I regard your infantile opinions to be the ramblings of idiots. Oh and I include the whole bit where you try and turn it around and say my opinions don’t count to you when clearly they do as your replying to them.
11) If you’ve read this far you are clearly so stupid and insecure as to actually read every thing written by people who don’t agree with your tastes just so you can fire back with some stupid insult of your own. Really is your life so empty and meaninless you have to attach yourself to Lost and make it your mission to defend it from all negative comments. Are you really that sad?
12) Oh I was serious I really don’t care about what hardcore lost fans are about to put in response to this.
I’m gonna save this commnet. It is a classic!
you’re a fucking retard. Bob isn’t, but you are…
I’ve just seen an interview with Harold Perrineau (Michael), who said that he is the black smoke monster. He was joking about Lost and they were laughing their asses off. The interviewer told HArold that he could go back to lost as they are an in the 70’s and anything is possible, he might be born again or something stupid like this. I think that everyone is laughing about lost now, except for the fanboys. Remeber when Naven Adrews said that lost sucked? Mat fox also said that he would be happy when the show ends.
It seems that even the actors got tired of this crap.
In addition, Lilly(kate) said that she hated the sci-fi part of the show.
Oh I think Terry O’Quinn will shed no tears when this show ends too.
do you have sources for these interviews? i’m interested in reading em. thanks.
google:Naveen Andrews+lost sucks.
The others were on darkufo
Naveen said he thought they were winging it in season 3, which i agree with, but then they announced an end date half way through season 3, which he said everything got tightened up, and he now agrees that its awesome
Matthew Fox says he loves the sci fi part of the show and LOST is right up his alley on a genre level
Evangeline lilly said she doesnt like the sci fi part of the show, that she isnt a sci fi girl and shes more interested in the characters.
Harold lololol, he got pissed when they killed him in season 4, and blamed the producers saying they killed him cuse he was black, i remember reading that interview
you’re an idiot. these are probably the best paying jobs most of these actors will ever see.
No argument there. How Lilly got this paycheck is beyond me, and how she turned into a bonafide headcase, based on her sparse actiing skills is really a head-shaker.
I’ve been studying so I couldn’t watch this week’s piece of shit. But judging on the sheer volume of posts in the past two days I would have to guess that this might be on of the worst episodes of all times. Haha just by quickly glancing at the amount of new poster’s saying things like, “I’m finally saying fuck Lost, this is so liberating.” I am a very happy man.
On top of that I urge everyone to explicitly criticize actors on this blog because I can guarantee that the ego-centric hollywood performers check out what is being written about their dumb ass show. I’m sure JJ even comes on here just looking for ideas to steal in order to try and make this asinine show more believable.
Fuck Lost.
I see synchronicity between Hurley making sandwiches on Lost and his future employment prospects after the show. Has restraining order placed on him by George Lucas. PS, was it Hurley who came up with JarJarBinks?
Same comment for Jack the janitor.
WARNING- Nerd Alert.
JarJar was the kiss of death for Star Wars. Keep fingers crossed that Darlton make the same mistake that George did (they have, BenBen).
LOST has become a weird, dumb, unintriguing and unwonderous, pseudo sci-fi, sit-com, melodrama of convoluted goofiness, cliche’, and unnecessary complexity.
Well put.
We have 20 episodes left of this series and they aren’t even close to solving any of the mysteries, some of which have been shown in the first season. I think its impossible at this point with all the current useless threads they have going to finish this show. How are they going to do it? End it in the 70’s?
The whole thing is ridiculous for me now. Jack is a janitor who stands around and does nothing now. He was the central tough focus of the show for the first four seasons and now he’s relegated to cleaning classrooms? He was a Doctor and came back to the island for this? They just want to stay in the seventies now, okay.
All this jumping back and forth is more manic then usual, We have way too many characters to follow. Where’s Rose & Bernard? Where did Jin go? Faraday’s back, someone else left, someone else is back. Let’s jump here and there. “What lies in the eyes of the statue” or whatever. I just want some fucking answers for once. After five years of watching this show its crazy. You need a graph to follow this now.
I know this will end badly which is such a tragedy because it was a good show for the first three and a half seasons.
Also, for those who enjoy using quotes against the writers, they also said they were “Completely done with flashbacks or flashforwards for this season and would instead just focus on the island’s stories.” So much for that.
My main problem is that if the writers stopped acting so smug and high above everybody else and just admitted, that like every other show they created the plots on a weekly basis then they wouldn’t get ripped so much. Instead of saying they’ve planned it out since the beginning and constantly contradicting themselves they should own up to their egotism. It makes them look very amateur. They don’t have any intention of solving things and don’t know where they’re going. Otherwise it would be much better then this. The people fooling themselves into believing they’re “geniuses” need to stop drinking the kool-aid.
They keep lying to keep idiots watching their show. I hate them just as much as the next guy but to say that they should tell everyone what they’re up to is absolutely ridiculous. If you’re too dumb to figure it out on your own then you deserve to have the rug pulled out from you on the finale.
we’ll just have to see which of us is right
You’ll have to see bro. I don’t watch this show anymore. I just stop in for a laugh here and there but judging from the posts I’ve read this week I’d say I’m in the lead right now.
I can suspend disbelief for a television show like this but they are on an uncharted island. Do you actually expect people to believe that you could get vans, Polar Bears, steel cages, buildings, hatches and houses there from a submarine? Really? How low do they think our IQ’s are?
You are so stupid, the submarine is 5th dimensional, it is bigger on the inside than on the outside, so they can carry any size cargo in it and dehydrated polar bears are no problem at all. They bring them to the island in little packets then they just add water and presto, instant polar bear. Next time think before you write something so uneducated.
Yes, because its wholly possible to bring vehicles and materials to make houses and buildings on a submarine. Entirely possible.
The Hanso foundation had millions of millions of pounds.
I mean shit look at how much it would of cost to create the underwater station the looking glass.
Im sure with all that money they could find a way
Money doesn’t seem to help much considering how poorly D-class the whole Dharma personal is inspite of all the financial resources.
you write like you kinda gay.
Does that turn you on?
Mr. Meistersuckmydickman, you are quite gay. FREAKY FAGGOT-ASSED FANBOY GAY…
An “orientation” film in one of the earlier seasons showed DHARMA using helicopters to move construction material around.
How did they get the helicopters to the island and why haven’t we seen them this season?
Even a half-ass writer could have done something interesting with helicopters this season.
But the island was always moving! Only “windows” provide a route back! I suppose I am missing something! If dharma could build all those things why did the losties have to go back on flight 316? They could have used a sub or something more simple.
Haha agreed. Now let’s just say for the sake of argument that they were somehow able to get all the materials onto the island that are necessary to build reinforced workstations. Steel, electrical wiring, etc., there is no possible way they could construct all those buildings without heavy duty equipment. I have yet to see a crane or anything that could possibly explain how they dug a ditch hundreds of feet into the ground and were able to build a station with concrete walls and filled with computers – in 1977.
Did they put the Volkswagon bus on the submarine?!? If so is that the only vehicle they use to transport all the materials they would need to every station?
It’s just so stupid. A project like that would take years to finish by crews of hundreds working with the latest technology. Instead, we have an island with about 2 dozen jagoff “scientists” moping around with their heads up their asses. Even that premise alone is absurd. A corporation doesn’t hire all its employees while their company building is being constructed and even if they did the employees would be working towards something useful in a different location. Not sitting amongst the laborers twiddling their thumbs. Give me a fucking break.
People in cults all over the world watch this show and shake their heads in disbelief.
Here is another inconsistency:
Naomi told Desmond that she was hired by Penny to find the brotha. But it wasn’t true as Abbadon recruited Naomi for Widmore to snatch Linus. Widmore might not know that Desmond was even on the island. Even if he knew why would he have bothered about Desmond? Penny never knew about Naomi (”who is naomi?”).
Poor darlton!
How do you know its an inconsistency?
Maybe something else is going on?
then why don’t you tell us what is going on? You defend every move of the writers with lame excuses like this. Fanboys cannot admit the mistakes that even dartlon admit. Pathetic.
If it’s not a flaw this means nothing else than just a further “mystery” to be resolved in 20 episodes. Good luck!
Whatever the writers decide is going on, it’s sure to uninspired, hokey, and annoying. If the rest of this season is a gauge.
A great mystery was solved:3.2 million dollars
Miles asked this amount because it is double Widmore paid him. What an answer! It is on par with Kate’s “Don’t ask me that again”
Fanboys be prepared! The final answers will be as lame as these ones!
What we were supposed to have learned this week?
1- DHARMA built the Swan station in 1977.
Kinda figured out the who some time ago. Didn’t really care about the when, but maybe that will be a pivotal point sometime.
2- The hatch entrance to the Swan was stamped with the numbers: 4 8 15 16 23 42. (Wasn’t that an odd time to be putting serial numbers on the cover?)
As shown in the Season One finale.
3- Hurley knows the numbers by heart.
As shown in, dude, pick a Hurley episode from Season One or Two.
4- The Island has strange, and potentially dangerous, electromagnetic properties.
Sort of like the strange, electromagnetic plot point of season two.
5- DHARMA is experimenting on Polar Bears over on the little island.
Been there, done that.
6- Miles was working for Widmore.
A part of the story line from Season Four.
7- Miles took the Widmore job for the money.
As seen in season four.
8- Widmore is apparently responsible for the fake crash site near Indonesia.
Another part of the story line from Season Four.
Filler stuff. Possibly intentional to remind us what has happened if they’re going to get back into those story lines again, but filler none-the-less. I don’t care for shows that do that – that’s what ‘Previously On…’ is for – but it isn’t uncommon for serial shows to spend an episode doing that.
9- Miles has daddy issues.
Assumed, since ‘Miles’ is a character on the tv show ‘LOST’.
If you missed the ‘hints’ in his flashbacks, don’t worry, Miles will simply tell Hurley (and the viewer) what you were supposed to figure out. Not as entertaining but much quicker. At least the flashback had something to do with the on-island story.
IMO the story here was Miles learning that his parents were on the island when his mother got in line behind him in the cafeteria. It has nothing to do with anything but Miles but at least it’s new.
Also, as has been noted, loved how Roger runs off to find Ben by sitting on a swing drinking beer and then, when that doesn’t work, gets his mop bucket and cleans the classroom.
So Kate got back early in the ep while Sawyer was gone ’til near the end. Maybe he just got ‘lost’.
wow we wow wow oh boy this week we get a recap of season 4 and 5. i am pissing all over my freaky faggot fanboy ass let me tell ya. with all the great posts on why lost doesn’t suck and there sure a lot of them boy o’ howdy turmed me right into one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding the super-secret monster-control room: You’d think the DHARMA people would have noticed the secret room that one of the houses they built led to, but no.
I think they noticed. They just didn’t figure out how to use the ancient toilet.
Haha love the comment. It reminds me of the dog shit movie, Disturbia where the villain has a secret death chamber built into his walls and inside the chamber is an enormous freezer. Wouldn’t the guys that built this secret room be a little curious as to the point of it? Throw in the fact that the guy looks like a complete shadeball and lives by himself? Nah, we’ll just build this room where the only access is through an air duct. Not weird at all. Freezer install guys, “hey we love the huge meat hooks in this room, they’ll go great with your new freezer.”
AaRGh!
Can Juliet stop blinking with her eyes rapidly for FIVE SECONDS? That’s all I ask.
This goes to Jimbo Jones. Read it you shithead lol.
This paragraph from the IGN.com article should make it more clear:
Lindelof laughed that, “We sort of suckered people into this show but not presenting it as a science fiction show right out of the gate,” noting that there were elements early on that were, “like a Rorschach test”, saying that when Flight 815’s pilot is killed, someone who didn’t like sci-fi would think, “there has to be a rational explanation.” Even the reveal that Locke could walk on the island was tempered by the fact that they still hadn’t revealed why he was in the chair in the first place, leaving the opportunity that, “it could be psychosomatic.” Lindelof said Raiders of the Lost Ark was a great example of a story that has blatantly science fiction elements, noting, “Nazis melt and ghost fly out of this ark,” but that it waits a long time before presenting these elements, allowing the audience to fall in love with Indiana Jones first. Lindelof said he felt shows like Invasion probably had a harder time finding a wide audience because, “They said ‘Alien!’, right out of the gate.’”
Lindelof said that when it came to slowly building into more science fiction, “Lost has really been about the long con, because by the time we get to season 6, it’s going to be f**king crazy!”
Quote from Jimbo Jones:
“Of all the things to bitch about on Lost, and there are many, the “they fooled me into watching sci-fi” complaint is by far the stupidest.”
You failed brotha!
Mr. SimonAdebisi:
oh boo hoo you… waaaahhhh.. what a mommy’s titty sucking crying little fucking baby bitch you are… i’ve only been on this site a few weeks and I already own you. the dumbest part of this whole conversation is the fact that you are mad because you feel like you got “conned.”
Perhaps YOU did get conned, but anyone with a brain knew that cripple john locke suddenly hunting boar in the jungle pointed towards something supernatural in the show. Your expression of such total shock now that it has been (more) fully revealed simply defies credulity, and it’s starting to get old. They more than alluded to the scifi aspect of the show from the very beginning. You would have to be very dimwitted to completely overlook it in order to be as utterly shocked as you now claim to be.
You post this this quote from Lindelof as if this is a bad thing:
““Lost has really been about the long con, because by the time we get to season 6, it’s going to be f**king crazy!” ”
I, for one, am LOOKING forward to the show being “fucking crazy” so I am not sure how that’s a bad thing. Are you just upset that they succeeded in producing a show that defies your ability to define it?
I guess the fact that you “fell for it” makes you feel really stupid, which gives rise to the obvious axe you have to grind. The writers pulled one over on you and now you want revenge!
I for one think they have done a hell of a job moving the show forward and developing its identity, considering the difficulties inherent in episodic network TV. You seem to think that everything should have been written and revealed up front and then nothing should ever change. That simply is not possible on network TV. Stick to Harry Potter movies if you need an episodic story that is completly mapped out from start to finish.
As a fan of the show, I don’t feel conned one bit. I am GLAD the writers have only slowly reavealed the nature of the show and kept a few tricks up their sleeve. That’s what makes it interesting… and if I didn’t like it, I would just stop watching instead of whining like a little bitch for so long about something so trivial.
Fuck you man… Many people left the show because of the sci-fi in season 5. If you can’t accept that, stay the little fanboy you are now.
i can accept it… the ratings obviously prove it… but i happen to like it, even with its flaws… i never said the show was perfect… so fuck you too!
“Even the reveal that Locke could walk on the island was tempered by the fact that they still hadn’t revealed why he was in the chair in the first place, leaving the opportunity that, “it could be psychosomatic.”
all lindelof is saying here is that it might have been psychomatic. it was one possibility among many, and not even presented as the most likely. if you were duped into thinking that was pretending to be crippled then you are dumber than i thought. that’s not the writer’s fault, you jackass…
essentially your position is that they should have laid all their cards on the table right off the bat instead of letting the story unfold over time. guess what, you are not the producer of a network TV show so you opinion doesn’t mean jack shit…. in essence, what are you complaining about is the fact that you feel like you wasted a bunch of hours watching a TV show that did not turn out as you expected, so now to get back at the writers you are spending more of your time blogging about how bad the show it. Why not just move on? Or at least criticise the show for something valid. The line that you were fooled into watching Lost and now just can’t stop is retarded.
The more you try to justify it….the stupider it sounds.
This is what I expected from you fanboy Jimbo. Demon admits that they deliberately didn’t present the show as a sci-fi in first season and they even said that “everything will be explained by science, there is no time travel”.BUT you still continue to agrue against it lol.
That’s why I adore lost fanboys!
he obviously said it. i just don’t get why that upsets you so much. here’s a little lesson that your daddy shoulda taught you a long time ago, my little bitch…
often times in life, you will need to watch peoples’ actions rather than just listen to their words. another way of saying that would be that sometimes you have to read between the lines.
all the signs were there, you were just too dumb to realise it. cripples walking? black smoke ripping the pilot out of the plane? sure! these things happen all the time! crikeys, locke even explicitly told walt that the island was a place where miricles happen. but of course, you thought locke’s ailment was psychosomatic…
bottom line: you were outsmarted by the writers. they made you think one thing, then went off in a different direction, and that has been pissing you off for years now. and the best part is you can’t stop watching!
“he obviously said it. i just don’t get why that upsets you so much.”
1. Mayby because he can’t stand the injustice of people making money by intentional lying?
2. Mayby also because of what your “I just don’t get it”, your nihilistic admiration for the writers’ ‘outstanding achievement in fooling’ indicates: actually that this amoral concept of gaining wealth is commonly accepted as the natural state of the world, that we should be glad to have surrounding us, to arrange ourselves with! No “time for a change”, Hmm?!!
For you idiots who know nothing about the ratings system … go to http://www.thefutoncritic.com. It’s all there. Read it and weep. Lost on Wednesday’s wins the demo 18–49 every time, for a scripted show. It is only second to American Idol. But for scripted, Lost beats every show on Wednesday. Even CSI, with all their viewers, is in the 3.0 demo. Lost gets 4.0 and above almost every time. Lost isn’t going anywhere. Get over it!
You have to have a suspension of belief for a show like Lost. You don’t have it. So stop watching!
It would make more sense if you were on a Grey’s Anatomy sucks site. Because that is supposed to be a “real world” show, with some craziness. But, what, dead Denny and Izzie talking and having sex? You’re at the wrong site!
All your complaining about Lost is so stupid! You complain, on and on, about what Lost is exactly about … sci-fi – fantasy.
Get over it … move on!!!
What the hell are you guys going to obsess and complain about when it’s over? My God, get a therapist ASAP!!
What the hell are you guys going to obsess and complain about when it’s over? My God, get a therapist ASAP!!
ok well i have a therapist, as for the rest be careful cuz we just might start up that site as to why you suck…..
Haha yea thefutoncritic.com is one of my most prestigious ratings sites out there…
Maybe at the junior college you attend citing this absurd website is ok for papers but at actual universities they tend to require accredited sources. It’s laughable that you think anyone gives a shit what you or this fucking weirdo website have to say. No one has ever heard of it, probably because its run by your boyfriend, who is apparently in junior high judging by the pathetic graphics.
The suspension of belief is to be used when people fly, time travel, or communicate with the dead. You should never have to call on it for everyday conversations or the absurd actions done by characters on a consistent basis.
If you remember in the early seasons when the “others” created that elaborate gypsy town full of tents to throw off the plane crash survivors? Don’t really see the point now as most have them have lived among the others for three years and still haven’t figured out anything, whatsoever.
Sorry bro, I can’t suspend my own rationale. I wish I could but I guess I’m just not dumb enough.
Why are the Lost fans here such aggressive, hysterical, ranting bitches?
Seriously.
Are all Lost fans complete assholes or just the ones who come to this site?
I can assure you that all of the are faggots. Just go to lostpedia or lost-forum. It is kinda shocking!
lost forum is definitely run by ass reaming faggots… on that we can agree. i hate those motherfuckers and all their rules.
Is that supposed to be a counter argument? Are you trying to accuse us of ranting when you are the one that went on and on about Grey’s Anatomy for reasons I’ll never understand?
You’re comeback is even worse than your initial argument. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Do yourself a favor. Switch names, give yourself a do-over, and refrain from posting again until your arguments are reasonable or even remotely funny. In the meantime I won’t hold my breathe.
“Is that supposed to be a counter argument? ”
No. They are questions.
“…when you are the one that went on and on about Grey’s Anatomy for reasons I’ll never understand?”
I’ve never mentioned Grey’s Anatomy before. Not once. To anyone. Ever. I’ve never even watched the show…
“You’re (sp) comeback is even worse than your initial argument. ”
Not a comeback, just honest questions that you have answered very well so far. Thank you.
I thought you were the initial poster because both of your names have Lost in it. It’s hard to keep track of all the douche bags that constantly change their name. He mentioned Grey’s, etc.
So yea my bad about lumping you in with that guy. I mean I still think you’re gay but for reasons completely unrelated.
But yea, you’re supposed to rant, be mean, and tear people in half every chance you get. We’re at lostsucks, not lostisunenjoybable, or lost-is-a-bit-too-far-fetched-for-my-liking.
Take off the kid gloves pussy.
We don’t have to know anything about the rating system fag!
We see from week to week :
In the 2nd season this show was viewved by more than 20 million(!) people every week.
Now it is 8-9 million. Enough said.
I don’t watch any of those other shows you mention, and dread to think how shit they must be if fewer people watch those.
Started losing faith in LOST from last season. Started watching Heroes. Watched the entire Heroes Season 1 on DVD… it was awesome!
Now Heroes sucks… almost feel like they use the same writers as LOST. New characters get introduced that are unimportant to the plot. New sub-plots pop up that end up meaningless.
It seems like nobody can write decent stories anymore.
All I watch nowadays is 24.
Yes, Heroes started sucking before Lost did. Lost’ seasons 1 and 2 were awesome, 3 was mediocre, 4 and 5 were shit. Hiros: 1 awesome, 2 mediocre, 3 and 4 shit.
OK WOW Their ya go jackoff jones you have made a couple of interesting points i must admit, but the only thing is you have really not come up with anything as to LOST not sucking. and all you can say is “stop watching”. ok here we go, watch your eyes cuz here it comes, for one thing I yes I never said I hated the show this fucking site is not, why we hate lost. it is yes is why lost and now you do to sucks. i personally come here for entertainment purposes cuz i like to laugh at stupid fucks like you and other resident trolls giving us all kinds of shit but really never making it clear as to why lost does not SUCK… as for me i thought i have made it pretty goddamned clear that i am mentally challenged (retarded) on most of my posts… so in closing i will give you the same shit back, you know what the name of the site is so if you dont like what we are posting DON’T COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god i need to go see my shrink cuz i am getting worse i can’t believe i actually gave this stupid fuck this much of my time and he will probably never see it…wow shit fuck man i came home the other night just as drunk as a dumbass can get and still be alive, well i went to the ketchen and there was my wife sitting at the table with her head in her hands and so i sat down at the other end and put my spun head in my hands and then i heard her say “drunk again” and i went on to say “me too”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“well i went to the ketchen and there was my wife sitting at the table with her head in her hands and so i sat down at the other end and put my spun head in my hands and then i heard her say “drunk again” and i went on to say “me too”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”
LOL.
oh yea by the way jackoff jones you wouldn’t happen to have some property in gauyana would ya???
Jackoff Jones I totally agree dude. These idiots just plain fail at having a brain. I can’t wait for the final reveal!
Ha! I thought that you were a fanboy for a while! But it is obvious you’re one of us!
Really? I thought the cat was out of the bag when I started calling Smokey the Buttfuck Clown Monster.
oh yeah, wow, you fucker, ok brother, you had me for a while their but i went back, yes quite a ways back even, and i can’t believe i let you yank my chain. you just wait fucker i am gonna figure out how to do something really fucking mean to you. so expect it when you least expect it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, here we go, this by far has been the most entertaining week for me. for the freaky faggot-assed fanboys picked probably the worst episode yet to try and defend. i mean, nobody but nobody can give not even one reason for back time dharmaville not sucking. way back, when the dharmans were first introduced by candle or whatever the fuck this dudes name is. daddymiles maybe i guess. i for one, thought that this was going to be some good stuff here. what did they give us? they give us some funky charactors that in my mind couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper sack. yet they got these dudes gonna go fucking around with some electromagnetisum, none like this ever seen before, well for christ almighty sakes alive, of course an incident is gonna happen. sorry about the arm there daddymiles. should have got some professional help!!!!!!!!!!!! i really can’t belive that they were smart enough to keep the button pushed. oh shit thats right desmond was doing that. this time travel shit, now whats the deal here, now i think they really could have made this work if they would have just put a little imagination in to it. but oh no “can’t do that, nope, ainta gonna do it, nope, just dont get paid enough for that nope”. need i say more?
Here are the greatest cliffhangers of Season 5.
Widmore? Charles Widmore?
My name is Danielle . Daniell Roussoe.
Jin?
I’m Ben. Ben Linus.
I’m Charles. Charles Widmore.
Dan? Long time no see.
We have a great one ahead of us!
Locke: “HELLO JACK”
JAJAJAJA GREAT COMPILATION!
Hey Ben!!!
Reading your posts, it is quite safe to assume that you’re a kid or a “special” adult (probably a “special” kid), and now that this season is coming to a close, I’m afraid that you are heading toward a long and boring summer.
But, it doesn’t have to be!!
here are few points of advice to make your forced hiatus a bit more sufferable:
1. Sidewalks are for pussies – big boys play on the road!
2. If a large black van stops besides you, and a middle aged man with a thick moustache opens the door and asks you if you want to go to a land filled with candies and unicorns – go with him!
3. What are those strange holes in the wall? Wouldn’t it be interesting to stick a fork there?
4. You obviously have no friends, but worry not! you could make friends in no time! The easiest type of people to befriend are Afro-American teenagers who travel in groups, wear the same jackets and have a lot of tattoos, when you encounter such a group in the street, just walk to them and say the password that will show them you mean business – the password is “hey you fucking niggers” – you’ll be surrounded by your new friends in no time!
5. How about art? even better – How about cartooning? Being able to draw someone’s cartoon will guarantee you a lifetime of fun, here’s a suggestion: try to draw a prominent figure… let’s say of a religious figure… let’s say an Islamic religious figure… say, I don’t know, Muhammad; and maybe you could add some swords and an atomic bomb just for the hell of it. Now try to publish it in your local newspaper, or use it in 6.
6. Go abroad – now that Iraq is 100% safe, go there, it’s cheap and educational, and the locals are very hospitable and love a good laugh, so make sure to show them your cartooning skills.
I hope you find my advice helpful, since after contributing so much to this site for so long you really need to unwind, so follow my advice and you’ll get all the rest that you deserve.
Yours
C. Widmore.
Um, how about lick on my butt and chut the fuck up?
What butt? that guy kicked it so hard there is nothing left I pity your boyfriend – such a long tongue but nowhere to put it in.
CHUT UP BUTTHEAD
Butt out fuckface
chut it
This probably got buried in the comments above, but unless I missed something, the submarine with Faraday on it wasn’t supposed to return for SIX MONTHS. Just a couple of episodes previous “Lafleur” made a big deal out of the fact that Jack, Kate, etc. would have to mix in with the new recruits RIGHT NOW because the submarine wasn’t returning for SIX MONTHS. Then, like three days later, the submarine is back with Faraday on it. What the hell?
I don’t know, but I’m sure LostnLost will manage to pull some lame excuse out of his butt. and call you stupid if you don’t accept it.
After all – The Lost creators write in mysterious ways, but they are all knowing, all seeing inerrable, infallible and omniscient.
excellent point. Another cont. error. But this so small compared to the other giant ones.
you mean the ones that YOU found.
no it isn’t small, it’s a good one.
not me, Kenny Wangler.
eg: I meant that Russo’s story is totally inconsistent.It seems it is finished, but it is totally unbelievable.
Are you fanboy Alexey?
Doesn’t seem like it, since fanboys don’t admit any mistake
Alexey is different!
I’m alexey, he’s Alex
I’m not a fanboy, I just like the show. bye simon. hey if you read this, where are you from?
Unfortunately it is that clear, that the writers are nothing but brilliant, that there is no need for them to avoid such obvious contradictions in continuity by simply adding a three second line of text like having Sawyer say “What?! But it shouldn’t be back for six month! Why so soon?” (before ruining that attempt of consistency by the inevitable answer “It doesn’t matter right now!”, of course!
)
why the fuck does everyone have to bitch about a TV program, its just a story why can’t you let people enjoy it for what it is. don’t you have anything better to do with your lives than critisie other people for what they watch, grow up and grow some balls…pricks
welcome on board, fanboy brotha!
Because people don’t enjoy it for what it is – actually pure bullshit – but they enjoy it mistakenly for being something ingenious. And fighting common readiness to be fooled by money-grubbing hypocrites is something not that bad to do with (a small part of) your life.
Jesus Christ you’re a nerd, “someone.” It sounds like you’re talking about a kid that gets beat up everyday, the small kid, the kid who has to sit alone at lunch, and you’re taking a stand on his behalf except the only problem is that you’re not standing up for someone but instead you’re standing up for a fucking tv show. A terrible one for that matter.
Grow some balls?!? Is that what you think you’re displaying right now? If so you might be the dumbest person to ever place a thought on this message board.
I don’t come over to your house and tell you that gay marriage is wrong. Don’t come on our website and tell us not to bitch about a show we think sucks.
Fuck you. Fuck Lost.
One thing actually is for sure. In the end a clear cut winner will be determined.
That kind of winner is already determined: The producers of the Disney-Soap LOST, who still get 8 million to watch their “source of income”.
ok here i go again. Dig this, my friggin freaky faggot-assed fanboy name is someone, how original, I come across this site on google or wherever, I happened to stumble upon it on dogpile myself, but anyhow, I go check it out right, and oh my fucking god who are these people I just can’t understand how anybody could not just absolutly love this show. Next we see our victim in the bathroom pulling off his shit soaked underwear hoping his mom will understand thinking, boy am I gonna give them fuckers a piece of my mind. The best he can come up with is grow up, grow some balls and call us pricks. Oh man, my feelings are so fucking hurt, well ok maybe not. Beacuse I damb sure wish I could have stayed young, balls are way over rated and most of all, I always heard the best part of a man was his prick. I guess what I am saying is THANKS DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah I almost forgot
………………………..BOOOOOOOM……………………………………………….WHYLOSTSUCKS.COM………………………….
ifn you can’t tell already, I kinda like living here…
I want a group of extremist agents to kidnap the writers of “24″ and make them do the scripting for LOST.
Make sure they are locked away somewhere, so Jack Bauer cannot rescue them, as they are forced to churn out thrilling scripts for LOST.
Fuck ! There is no Lost tonite.. I suppose I am gonna watch another sit-com instead, maybe Earl..
This is why I like Darlton. They basically admit that they don’t really know what the fuck they are writing!
“BE: Will we ever find out why Libby was in the mental institution and if she knew Hurley pre-island?
CC: No, we feel like we resolved Libby’s fate, and for the fans that are still obsessing about Libby, maybe at some point someone will write sort of a “Star Wars”-like novel about the story of Libby, but we don’t consider that to be a major story thread for us.”
Wow.
Back when I still really liked the show, Libby was one of the most interesting characters to me.
She’s a psycho analyst helping Hurley, a psych patient too, and a secret agent recruiting Desmond to enter a big yacht race.
And the writers don’t consider her an important character?! WTF?!
haha.That’s it. This is hard evidence that these 2 fucks don’t know what they are doing. We got flashback of miles’ daddy issues instead of Libby who was one of the most mysterious character on the show. Why? Because Darlton just created a mystery to which they didn’t have the answer. At that time it seemed a great cliff. and that’s it.This is a great warning to the fanboys who still wait for ‘answers’
I think I figured out the final scene of Lost:
Jack:So tell me John what this island is!
Locke: It is not important anymore Jack! We ‘ve won the war and this is the only thing that matters!
BOOM
LOST
i dont give a fuck about Libby, it doesnt really bother me that it wont get answered.
I think that Libbys story doesnt really matter enough to warrant explaining and they have only got 1 more season to concentrate on more important stuff
Haha so LostnLost you thought it was more appropriate to spend an entire episode on what happened to Aaron?
Haha 90% of their episodes are fillers so there really is not reason not to explain Libby. God knows that they have more than enough time.
Nothing is warranted on this show.
LostNlost. You must be a joke!No way you’re serious.
Im not being funny, but whoever gave a fuck about libby?
wait so simon, you hate everything about the show, but yet you’re dissapointed that libby past wont be explained.
I thought she was a shitty minor character
The argument, retard, is that its not like the show is so planned out that they couldn’t possibly explain Libby’s background. From season 2 through 5 they’ve just been using smoke and mirrors buying their time until they can have some shitty, uneventful gay ass ending.
They’ve turned all the characters into shitty minor characters. The few actors lucky enough to find a pilot for something else immediately jump ship because they realize what a piece of garbage they are part of.
It’s clear that these actors think the show blows. Why would Juliet leave for another show if she liked it? The ratings were decent when she filmed the other pilot. The answer: she wants to get the hell out before the show ends and she has to answer a million questions from unsatisfied fans all over the world.
The writings on the wall. Even the actors see it. I have no idea why you’re too stupid but congratulations on being one of the last douche bags standing.
exactly
The way i umderstood it to be is that both ana suckia and libby got DUI’s there in hawaii, about the same time and wound up with substaintial fines and quite a bit of jail time. It’s pretty obvious they had no idea that the show was gonna suck so much that they could have not worried about it and brought back when the time was served put them in the next episode……………..BOOM………LOST
“Yes, Faraday is the son of Widmore & Eloise. Faraday arrives back to the island by sub. He tries to get Chang to evacuate the island by telling him the truth about the island and Miles. He ventures into the Other’s camp to talk to his mother who shoots and kills him prior to talking to him.
Eloise is not portrayed as a villain because she doesn’t know (at the time she kills Faraday) he’s her son. She learns of his plans through Jack and Kate, and tries to see them through with the help of Richard.”
pathetic cliffhangers. OMG the mother killed his son. He was the son of Widmore OMG. The fanboys will adore it!
Another “important” character introduced and then killed.
Reason #89 Why Lost Sucks:
It’s the only series I’ve ever heard of that runs clip shows (with explanatory narration) on a regular basis just to give people a clue of what the hell is supposed to be going on.

lol wut
What was that about last night? Vomit on a stick.
I guess the fanboys now know how a racehorse feels after the trainer inserts a tranquilizer up its rectum.
your comment is deeper and more profound than all of Lost.
Flashback overdose. A flashback recap summary episode of previous flashback episodes is just a tad monotonous?
Still not sure what the point of this season is all about. Time travel circle jerk? It’s not like there’s any momentum building or if there was, Darlton do their best to snuff it.
Fanboys very quiet today. A calm but uneasy feeling. The Darlton tranquilizer is working on them.
Hope that Darlton can serve up “sex-on-a-stick” is fading.
according to the description of next week’s show, Faraday is going to reveal everything about the island… yeah right,
most of their “new” revelation is just regurgitated ones, Faraday will probably tell us that he studied the island, that it is mysterious, that there are powerful people who want to exploit it and some who want to protect it, and that there is a strange creatures there, and some strange energies, and oh yeah, time travel, which he as a physicist has studied intensively,
The end.
This one doesn’t really count, but Lost hit a new low with 6.99 mil viewers. A rerun of Criminal Minds got almost 3 mil more viewers (oooh, that’s gotta hurt), and AI hammered them both with 23 mil total viewers.
Good times…

Lost pulls up its panties and runs away whenever Simon and Paula show up. The other possibility is that the episode was weak and Darlton held it back against American Idol and are using the extra week to desperately tweak it.
All in all, they did promise to run Lost uninterrupted this year and have screwed the pooch on two occassions so far, never a good sign. The Saturday 4pm timeslot is looking better and better Darlton?
“All in all, they did promise to run Lost uninterrupted this year…”
Darlton lied!? ZOMG!!!!
Count me as one who didn’t watch. I am now 4 eps behind with no intention of catching up. Too bad, could have been a great one. Oh, I hate Jimbo and Ben.
Well written, focused, and cohesive storytelling never requires a spoon-fed explanatory recap “special”.
Simon you are just freakin nuts.. Abrams/Cuse/Lindelof own you and it is fucking hilarious. The idea that they had an obligation to tell you, up front, every direction Lost might take is preposterous.
I think part of your problem is that you expect too much from Lost.
You continue to bitch about the fact that m emerson was originally cast for 3-4 episodes as if the fact that he caught on with the audience is some huge unforgivable sin. The reality is most shows would kill to have such success in introducting a new character.
You view the fact that the show was not entirely mapped out from the beginning as some sort of weakness, but this is true of pretty much ANY tv show. It is not a book that an author can revise before anyone sees it.
As for how writers outsmarted you, my advice is you should watch what people do, not just what they say. Every detail may not have been planned out from the beginning, but there was definitely a plan. they may have thrown you a few headfakes and outsmarted you along the way, but that is not their fault.
I will leave you with this from Rolling Stone:
“We always had a plan that the sort of genre elements of the show would become more overt over time,” says Cuse. “There’s a sense of weirdness that existed right from the beginning of the series — a mysterious monster in the jungle, plus a polar bear on an island. We always felt we were interjecting elements that suggested that this was not a normal, real, scientifically grounded place. As you move downstream, the natural progression is for those sorts of elements to become more overt. It was just a question of when they could be revealed.”
The more you try to justify how “great” the show is the stupider it sounds.
It is a stupid show. You pretty much just admitted it. Why can’t you rabid Lost fans just admit it’s a dumb show but you like to watch it because it’s fun?
Couldn’t fault you for that.
But instead you continue to pretend it’s something profound and brilliant?
Worse, you come here to fight about it? Why?
when did i ever say it was profound and brilliant
i do think it is alot of fun, and that is why i watch it.
and no, it is not a perfect show.
“Abrams/Cuse/Lindelof own you and it is fucking hilarious.”
strange because that’s the way i feel about all the fanboys who have had the wool pulled over their eyes by JJ and Darlton. They’ve sold you a dog turd, and here you are trying to explain to us that it’s really a chunk of gold.
Jimbo, there are a plethora of cults out there that fantasize about coming across people like you.
“Head fakes… outsmarted” Are you out of your fucking mind? Since about the second season the writers have known that there would be a total of six seasons. Therefore, they are the ONE show that could have written their script like a book you stupid ass. They have a set time frame, most shows don’t have that luxury.
I have no idea why you even put that quote up from Rolling Stone. It did not strengthen your argument whatsoever. Like the show it didn’t answer any questions.
I mean your basic argument is that a show can lead you on for four years and then just ignore continuation, logic, and reason; then for the final two years they can tell a completely unrelated story to what has been building. By doing so they’ve somehow outsmarted us? You are dumb as fuck.
Rock of Love Bus Tour is better scripted than this disaster. Although their conversations may be forced and awkward they at least ask & answer the questions within the same episode. If it were like Lost…
Bret Michaels: “Taya, will you stay on this tour and continue to rock my world?”
Taya: “Don’t ever ask me that again.”
Big John: “We don’t have time for this!”
Mindy: “What’s Tommy Lee doing here?”
Boom. Rock of Love Bus Tour
then for the final two years they can tell a completely unrelated story to what has been building. By doing so they’ve somehow outsmarted us? You are dumb as fuck.
you havent seen the final season
Is that seriously going to be your argument? That’s all you have?
I love these retards who say things like “you haven’t seen the final season.” Like Darlton is really gonna pull some great epiphany out of its collective ass that will blow everyone’s mind.
Wise up fanboys: It ain’t gonna happen. Yes, there’ll be twists and turns, but there are twists and turns (almost all of them stupid and illogical) every week from these pathetic writers.
What will be fun to watch in the last episode is how they try to wrap up the story without adding more characters and more mysteries.
I couldn’t agree more with you spit. The comebacks for the mistakes of this show are becoming pathetic. It’s honestly sad. There was a time when they would be slightly funny or have a legitimate argument now they just say things that can’t be proven one way or the other. ie, “You haven’t seen the last season yet.”
They’re right I haven’t, but unlike them I’m willing to draw on the past five year of suckiness to make an educated guess.
No show in the history of the world has EVER made shitty initial seasons because they had something amazing planned six years down the road that they were waiting to release. The most important thing is getting your show picked up so they start out hot without much regard for the future. Well the future is here and they have nothing left. They’re scrambling and it’s pathetic and insulting that these two douche bags have these enormous egos with “these people will buy anything we sell attitude.”
They burned me and it pisses me off but I get even more upset when they are still tricking people to this day that they have something brilliant planned.
They don’t and they don’t care.
And this is where it starts, with the money, the tools and i say some pretty damned good actors given there own head. I think this show could have been a greater show than anybody can even have ever realized possible. Terry O’ Quinn, Henry Cusick, Naveen Andrews and even Matthew Fox in my opinion are pretty damb good actors. Now if the script you have in your hands is a worthless piece of shit, well, thats what kind of a show ya got. If you take some good actors give them a bit of a plot small script to keep them going in the basic direction, with some imagination (not stupidity) but imagination and the sky is the limit. But fuck no we are the best writers in the world just look at what we have wrote…
…………BOOM………………………………………………………………..CRAPFEST………………………
Looks like ABC wants the 6th season, so LOST will finish the way it wantts to. LOL
“We always felt we were interjecting elements that suggested that this was not a normal, real, scientifically grounded place.”
“We’re still trying to be … firmly ensconced in the world of science fact,” he said in an interview. “I don’t think we’ve shown anything on the show yet … that has no rational explanation in the real world.”
Jimbo!
Can you feel the contardiction? Once they said that they tried to answer everything scientifically. Years later they stated that they never wanted it to be scientific.
life is full of contradictions dipwad. it fucking cracks my up that you don’t grasp that yet. look at yourself… a week and a half after the last episode of lost showed and you’re STILL coming to a message board to bash a show you hate, but evidently still watch
face it – lost owns you.
no, no!
I own Lost!
I don’t know about where you live but where I live they was saying that this was to recap seasons 4 & 5 and to make you see things in a whole different way. Well here is the way I sawd it. I think they hustled through way to fast.
So in turn I didn’t have time to get a chance to think anything through before they were way off on something else that I didn’t think was important, such as the aaron, hatchet head kate, thing with jackmehoff, don’t ass me again, stupidity at its finest. Season 5 here coming to a close here very soon and was pretty much made up of the dharmites. They showed almost nothimg. THANK GOD!!! So I must say, the only change I see is that LOST does suck just a little bit more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even the fanboys didn’t like last night’s clipshow. It must have been terrible.

yep- there is exactly one thred for “negative critical analysis” on LOST-FORUM. not surprisingly is has by far the most posts of any other thread there.
but when a show is a stupid as lost, why should someone who wants to point out a specific instance of stupidity have to bury it in a 5 year old thread that already has 1000 responses to it. So you come up with yet another indisputable reason why LOST gargles balls, but your “negative critical analysys” gets shoved all the way down to page 100 in the thread…. definitely a sure way to make sure no one ever sees it… what a bunch of toolboxes the mods on lost-forum are…. they, more than the show itself, are the main reasons i started realising what a piece of nutsack the show really is. Any group of fuknutz that are so defensive about anything clearly know they are arguing from a point of weakness
WOW, I wonder which episode in the last month it was that turned him into such a fanboy!!! I guess I must have missed that one…
thanks for posting that… it’s proof that I am objective and not one of those douchey fanboys that call Lost “godly”…. I also do hate the fuckwads that run lost-forum… never seen such a bunch of uptight jerkoffs in my life.
now listen, just because i like the show doesn’t mean I don’t know as well as any of you that there is a ton of dumb shit in lost. it is not a perfect story, and i will admit the writers were winging it in more than a few places. however i still think they developed the characters and told the story in a compelling way. i like scifi and love the idea of time travel, and I thought they were doing very well with it until sawyer and the rest of em landed in 1977 as part of dharma. i still think it is entertaining. i still think it’s a great show. yes, the inconsistancies are annoying, but such is life. nothing is perfect. I love the fact that the writers were willing to take risks, even if some of them didn’t work so well.
and when you compare Lost to most of the other shit on TV, I think it is one of the best.
Can’t hate ya for speaking the truth. I can’t speak for everyone, but I appreciate the honesty. I mean at some point or another we all liked the show. And like you said early on, I too, really love the way they developed the characters through the flashbacks. I just hate how they’re turning all the characters we grew to care about into imbeciles.
It’s like they spent so much time in the beginning getting you to understand what made each of them work. Now its like the writers have completely forgotten how these people “would” act in their recent situations based on their fucked up back stories. It’s unfortunate but it has happened, driving more and more people onto this website.
Thanks for the non slanderous post, I like to get shit for what I write, it’s just the name calling iust aint right, it is just a stupid tv show for christ sakes we all kind of see it differantly. I have never said I hated the show I just think it kinda really sucks!!!
sorry about the namecalling – i was just trying to fit in here! nothing personal… all this shit makes me laugh too.
FUCKIN’ JACKOFF JONES. You are such a LOSER!!! Go suck your boyfriends ass. Because you suck even more than LOST if that is possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You definitely write like you might be kinda gay.
so what the fuck is it to you?
that seems to be the whole of your vocabulary, so I ask you, do you have gay problems or just problems with being gay?
BREAKING NEWS
“A woman who claims she was sexually harassed then fired from the TV show “Lost” is suing ABC and actor Henry Ian Cusick.”
I’m sorry Brotha, but this time, this time you have to die.
Now it seems obvious that Desmondo will be the major death in the finale this year.
BOOM
i think you must be right on this one. later dez….
Oh yeah….
“Lost star Henry Ian Cusick is being sued by a former ABC employee who alleges sexual battery and harassment against the actor.
According to the suit, filed yesterday in Los Angeles court and posted in its entirety at E! Online, Cusick allegedly squeezed and placed his face on the plaintiff’s breasts, kissed her on the mouth, and caressed the back of her body while making moaning sounds.”
Then ABC fired her for reporting the incident!
Henry Ian Cusick, scum bag.
Desmond gets snuffed for sure this season. Ha!
As much as I dislike many of the actors on Lost, I won’t pile on Cusick just yet. This story does not add up. Cusick lives on the island year-round, he doesn’t hide, he doesn’t act like a prat. His kids and wife are well known in the local theater scene. Actually, together with his wife, they are considered to be some of the better behaved people from the production, and my sister vouched for that herself.
Compare him to headcases like Fox or Lilly, who are loathed by many of the local people, and you will understand what I mean.
If the charges were leveled against Fox, I would not even flinch, but Cusick is different and I hope he is cleared of this.
Hey, why do the local people hate these two (Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly)?
I’m just morbid curious…
This season of Lost has been ABYSMAL. The End.
Both are brats.
Fox is a pompous ass both on and off the set. Both he and his wife think they are something special.
Lilly is a whiner and complainer….about virtually everything. Yes, that label she has is well-earned. She is rude to locals and has disparaged them publicly. She is really the worst of the bunch. Incredibly immature and self-centered.
Damn your jealously of fox and lilly is incredible
If you ever had to deal with them, you wouldn’t be saying that boy.
and you have?
Hey dickhead,
Not only have we been warned to keep away from them on the set (yah, and not to look at them too…), I know of the people who have had the misfortune of inadvertently getting in their way and have had to pay for it.
What you know about them shithead?
sorry, that’s a loaded question. The answer is:
—-> nothing
uncleM,
Never mind LostNLost… he/she actually thinks the Island from the show exists.
I can’t believe you are told not to look at those actors… I mean, that’s ridiculous… they must have huge egos (and that’s sad because one day they will be old and no one will even remember their names, but they’ll remember their arrogant behaviors). What do you mean by the people who’ve paid for getting in their way? How powerful can these two ‘’stars” be?
DAMMIT ALL TO HELL I WAS HOPING IT WAS GONNA BE BOTOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E.Mitchell said that Botox won’t die this season.But there is still hope.Maybe Botox leaves on the sub and never evah comes back!
oMG . E. Mitchell is more annoying than Botox.
oh man, thats just beautiful!!!
I just don’t get it, I was stationed at pearl harbor back in the late 70’s, don’t remember dharma but I do remember the buds being kind of expensive but they sure were taystey. tasty. well whatever, I think that them writers should go get themselves a little treat so that may broaden their horizons a little and maybe then they can come up with something half-assed interesting. If I remember correctly all you have to do is go down on hotel street for a bit and it will kinda find you…
That is definitely something only a closet gayosexual wood write.
man dude your freaky faggot-assed fanboy posts are clearly a sign that you need to take your ass over to the WHY FREAKY FAGGOT-ASSED GAY FANBOY TYPES DON’T SUCK site that you will feel vary at home at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG Jack wasn’t supposed to come back to the island. That is not his destiny. WTF! Cliffhanger of the year!
Has the last episode aired or is it a week off? Just curious as to when the finally is.
CPT Preevyet on duty in Iraq
Having seen the preview for Wednesday’s show it brings up a few questions such as, with Faggyway being on the sub just where did he go? Is the whole world just leaping about in time with the nose bleed section, or does this suggest two timelines? Even the most important question of all. Do these dipshits have any idea what they are doing??? Me, now I have a tendancy to go along with the latter of these questions as being no! To me this time travel thing was not a very good way for the show to go. Their are just to many variances to have to deal with. My thinking is the two timeline theory, and the whole world then must have many timelines so hey Pat can I buy a vowel. Oh man, he is telling me I don’t have enough money. Well if Faggyway left and come back on the sub, I have to take it that the world for them is in the ’70s. So wow I just pulled a ten pound bugger out of my nose and my skull caved in, because my brain (small with not to many brain cells left that are any good) just can’t quite grasp this. Oh well, not to change the subject but that is also the title of a great old song. Thats about as far as I can go here because my brain just don’t have enough imagination left for this timeline shit!!! “Hey Al, what does Ziggy say I have to do here so I can leap”? I think at this point I am now by far more lost than lost itself………………………BOOM……………………………………………………..stupid………………………………………………………………
Fuck the Celtics.
The refs are trying to steal the series from my Bulls right now and its just driving me nuts. Unfortunately, there is not website for hating on the Celtics so I’ll do it here.
First, Boston has managed to assemble a team full of the biggest shit heads known to man. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse they bring Stephon Marbury on board to solidify themselves as the king of scumbags since the dawn of organized sports.
Top three complaints about the series thus far:
1.) Kevn Garnett – I don’t think there has ever been someone I’ve hated more that didn’t even play in a game. He sat quiet for 3 quarters as the Bulls were handing them their ass then with two second remaining on the clock, and a celtics victory inevitable, he decides to start talking shit. If he didn’t have a suit on I would have thought I was watching an extra from Blood Diamond screaming and running around.
2.) EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ON THE CELTICS COMPLAINS ABOUT EVERY SINGLE CALL. Paul Pierce being hands down the worst. The minute something doesn’t go their way they all make a face like someone shit their pants.
3.) The refs seem to listen. I have never seen a more lopsided series by a group of officials in my life. I know that Brad Miller could have made those free throws and we shouldn’t have lost an 11 point lead, I’m not making excuses, but the entire game they let the Celtics get away with murder and made it that much worse by calling a tickey tack foul on the other end. It literally dictated the outcome of the game and it should be a game a crime.
On behalf of Chicago, I’d like to extend a warm “fuck you” to Mark Wunderlich, Sean Corbin, and Joe DeRosa – tonight’s officials.
The minute something doesn’t go their way they all make a face like someone shit their pants.
aint it the truth!!!
Alex: So moving on to some of the fans reactions. Some viewers have noticed what seems to be discrepancies regarding the various Jeremy Bentham visits. Especially with Walt or Jack. Like, Locke never really mentioned or blamed Jack for leaving the island. So were these discrepancies due to time constraints or are you going to revisit the Bentham story down the line?
Carlton: You know, I think these kinds of questions are ones that we loathe to answer. You know, the sort of providing answers and interpretation of those kinds of things I think is not to the benefit of the show at this moment in time. We stand by Bentham as an episode that explains what happened to Locke after he went back to the real world and how he ended up dead. I think that, you know, we really dont want to say anything further about it right now.
Alex: One mystery that you said a month ago, in a Sky One interview, you were not going to show us is basically Libby’s backstory, yet two seasons ago you basically said there was one significant missing piece from her story which is how she got from Desmond to the mental institution, and you also added that to know that answer, you had to show her story through another character’s flashback. So, now that you’ve said that her story is done on the show, can you now tell us her missing piece and which character would you have told it through?
Carlton: Uhh, you know, again, these are not questions that we are going to answer. I think the point we were trying to make with the Libby story is that everything is graded in terms of importance for us, and, as we are doing the last season of the show, it’s not going to be sort of a didactic, you know, here’s a list of a thousand questions that we’re going to answer. That would not make for a very entertaining show. We are focusing on what we consider to be the significant questions, and mysteries, and character relationships. That’s the story that we’re gonna tell. I think that the reference to Libby was more illustrative of the fact that I think, we accept the fact that in the end of the day there will, probably, you could ask a spectrum of a thousand different fans “Well what question did you not get answered?” and there might be a thousand different answers, but we are focusing on what we consider to be the main questions of the show and the main narritive. It’s i! mpossible to tie up every loose end, and we don’t really consider, honestly, Libby’s story is incredibly tangential to the principle action on the show. For us, the focus of the final season really has to be on the main characters and what would generally be acknowledged as the most significant mysteries.
“We are focusing on what we consider to be the significant questions, and mysteries, and character relationships. That’s the story that we’re gonna tell.”
Like the origins of Jack’s tattoos. That was a profoundly important episode.
I expect more of the same as Lost wheezes its way to the series’ long-overdue demise.
Jacks tattoos are one of the non important stories he’s talking about dumbass
Dickhead Lost fan lashes out in frustrated rage.
Boom!….Lost.
It was important enough to take up an entire episode.
The producers made a mistake.
They’ve even said in interviews that the episode sucked. They’re fucking human
Oh yes, they did! And dropping Libby is just one further mistake of a thousand more!
Woohoo….I;m LMFAO at the fanboys tonight. 5 seasons of this shit just to turn around and make everything NOT HAPPEN. Fuck answering questions, we’ll make it so it never happened……bwahahahahahahahah….LOST!
All right kids, I’m about to hunker down and watch tonights show, with a craptacular post to follow. Wait for it….
Another snoozefest courtesy of Lost.
400. i tried at least
text is the key
it sure is
it’s true
What a negative and crap blog.
If you can’t understand nor appreciate Lost, then you = fail.
wow, to say that you think lost sucks, but you take the time to create a website and talk about it, my god you must love the show, because if you really hated the show and you think it sucked.
and i second what Nicole says
‘If you can’t understand nor appreciate Lost, then you = fail.’
