More filler
Man, if ever there was a filler episode this was it. Basically just a setup for the season finale. Jungle treks, gun cocking, people getting beaten senseless only to have no facial swelling of any kind, etc. The CGI sub was a nice touch, gave the episode a late night sci-fi original feel to it. Lost is a big “hit”, can’t ABC get them a real sub shot? At least we only have one more show left then a niiice long break!

I just about choked on my drink when Radzinsky yelled out “I want answers!”
Sorry to break your heart, four eyes. If it’s answers you’re looking for, “You’re on the wrong damn island.” (Bonus point if you know who said that)
The only character who talks like that is Sawyer.
Ding ding ding!
Off topic:
Faraday is dead… Can he still come from another time and fix things?
If I ever go to the past and I run into myself, I’m gonna have sex with myself and videotape it so I can masturbate to it later. Yeah.
LOL. The age difference will probably get you arrested.
And what if I become a child molestor later in life because I was molested as a child? The circle of shame continues.
You can sue yourself for doing that to you.
Oprah wants to talk to you…
molesting yourself – aka masturbation
….Ok. umm….anyways, ty is right, just a set up for the finale, just like all the pre-finale episodes before. Actually this is the last big break left. For their last big cliff hanger it be nice if it was a real good one for once.
Finale?
Is this season almost over?
Really?
This season was kinda like seeing the road sign for a town coming up then passing right through the town without even noticing it.
Help me out anyone who thinks I’m being unfair to the show…was there something I missed that I should actually remember about this season?
You know, I just realized that there was no local word about the finale being filmed or anything else about the production ending this season.
Usually the PR guy tries to get articles in the local papers trumpeting that “the great season finale is about to be filmed in a secret and secure place…” This season….nothing.
No mention of a season ending wrap party either and given how fractious the cast has become, I wonder if they even bothered this year.
All in all, the season ended with a whisper here in Hawaii.
fag. who gives a shit about the wrap party?
Apparently no one anymore
Fortunately!
as usual you guys are reaching for reasons why the show sucks… the joker who started this tread is insinuation that it sucks because the actors don’t get along anymore… and really, who gives a crap if they do or not? not that i give a flying fuck, but i’ll bet that whatever they did was low key for a couple of reasons, none of which have anything to do with the cast hating eachother.
this obsession y’all have with HATING lost
is like some kind of perverted mutated of fanboy-ism. y’all are so obsessed…. with hating it! and most of you watch it every week! and that’s hysterical!
once again: it’s not “There’s no party, therefor LOST sucks”, it’s “Lost sucks because of all that pretty much undeniable reasons we are constantly presenting and obviously therefor there’s no party”. That simple! We’ve done our “homework” (reasoning against LOST), analyzed its suckiness to the end, now we are just making fun of it. Please stop pretending that you are not able to tell our reasoning from our mere joking. We know very well ourselves that this joking is not hard argument, but in fact we also never meant it to be!
Ben killed Jacob. Best part of the entire show. Now, if he would just get on with killing EVERYONE ELSE….
didn’t catch the episode but i won’t ask for a recap since nothing prbably happened again, aside from what tyler mentioned already.
It was one of the better ones this season, I kind of liked it. We learned Locke knows more about the island, but of course won’t tell us and wants everyone to “follow him to kill Jacob.” Wait? Have we actually ever seen Jacob? Do we know what he’s done yet? Who is supposed to be killed if we can’t even see him?
Kate is just miserable to watch. I’m glad she got pissy and left Jack and Sayid so they can try and blow up the island. And do Jack and Sayid have the capabilities of blowing up a nuclear warhead? And why would Richard allow this to happen?
Another season finale coming up, and another group of people going on a jungle trek to some previously unseen part of the island. In season 1, the “black rock.” In season 2, the pala ferry. In season 3, the radio tower. In season 4, the orchid and the mysterious frozen wheel buried on a tropical island. Season 5, maybe the moon? How about Hurley’s massive weight causes a black hole to consume the entire island?
Boom.
LOST
I was more entertained than by any other episode this season, and that’s all I wanted from this show in the first place.
Tyler called it ‘filler’ but I’m going with ’setup’ until next week. Then I’m sure he will be proved right since I don’t think anyone is leaving on the sub, I don’t think anyone is blowing up any hydrogen bomb and I doubt if anyone is going to kill Jacob. So this episode will have been mostly pointless, much like the series.
At least someone was able to write some good Hurley lines again.
Hurley has become a charictiture of his former self. Its not like I ever liked him too much to begin with, but he isn’t even a legit character any more. He’s just there for comic relief. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed when Hurley gave up and said, “Okay dude we’re from the future.” Hurley, like Lost, are mere representations of former decency and creativity.
I bet Hurley IS an important character actually, for instance, I have evidence that he is only person from 815 who is NOT SUPPOSED to be on the island, the rules dont apply to him, he makes his own luck
So although he is not supposed to appear on the island, although he is not connected to the “Big game” he is an important character?!?!
“He is important because he is not important.”
Thats truly pure LOST-logic!
everyone on 815 was SUPPOSED to go to the island. I think thats fairly obvious. But the island didnt intend for Hurley to go to the island, if you look at the season 1 finale, theres a fairly long scene where Hurley trys to get to the airport and on the plane, and many obstacles along the way try to stop him, car tyre blowing up, alarm clock not working etc etc, among other things. Since he started believing that you can make your own luck in S3, he started winning at throwing horseshoes at a stick and beating jack at basketball etc etc. Like i said the rules dont apply to him, I dont know what it all means though.
Nor do “the rules” apply to Desmond.
So maybe “the rules” don’t apply to anyone on or connected to the island which may explain why the show doesn’t make any damn sense.
I think you’re onto something there LostnLost.
Desmond is special because he turned the fail safe key, and was at the middle of the electromagnetic explosion or w/e it was
Yes, “Desmond is special because he turned the fail safe key, and was at the middle of the electromagnetic explosion or w/e it was”, but the fact that the writers are constructing such a justification for him being special is what makes Lost suck, god damn it!
“Hey, LOST doesn’t suck because the writers present “explanations” for plot events!”
But Lost does suck as those explanations are pure insults to logic and dramaturgic seriousness! As I once said: It has not only to make sense, but the way it makes sense has to make sense! Don’t you see that?
Its just a TV show, just accept it
“Its just a TV show, just accept it”
Wow, that’s quite a concession you just “committed”! Come on, you can go the rest of the way: Just admit “Ok, you’re right. LOST became measured by standars for real suspenseful consistent drama a bad joke, but hell… I just like it anyway, can’t help it.”
Come on, you’ve got important confessing to do, you’re supposed to say it, the logic wants you to, therefor you came back…
if i were kate i wouldnt want to change the past either. that plane lands at LAX and her hot ass iss off to prison… no hero story and no baby to use for sympathy. for once, her actions are comlpetely rational.
Still why isn’t she allowed by the writers to adress those good arguments against resetting in the conversation with Jack “in public” to the audience? No, Sir! Instead of atleast one single piece of logical character behavior we hear “But Jack, then we would never have met, you my big pseudo-love, and therefor: no painful Quadrangle! No way!” TEEN BULLSHIT!!
Regarding Sawyer and Juliet’s capture…
So Radzinsky’s worst fears have been confirmed- Dharma has been infiltrated, and Sawyer seems to be jeopardizing “all that we are doing here!” An unknown group of people have just initiated an attack on Dharma soil that included a huge explosion, and Radzinsky got shot. He and Horace need to find out just what’s going on, as they may be in danger. So what do they do? They slap “LeFleur” silly, and when he doesn’t respond, they start slapping Juliet, but that doesn’t yield any answers, either.
Don’t they remember a character introduced to us a mere 5 episodes ago? Have they completely forgotten about Oldham, an incredibly skilled and effective interrogater who’s only purpose on the island is to get answers from unwilling captives?
Oh, wait, that episode was written by a different pair of writers, how silly of me…
Have no fear, Jacob! By the time Locke gets to you, a different team of writers will have an entirely new motivation for him!
Maybe he ran out of crunchy sugar cubes.
Or maybe he went back to the mainland for some better acid.
Or maybe William Sanderson got his big check and walked away. Why would one of the best character actors of all time risk is reputation by appearing on a lame-ass show like Lost twice?
Oldham = Jacob and he’s busy in the future right now. Besides, they’ve got Phil.
What utter retardation.
I was thinking exactly that when that scene was happening. Radzinsky is the know-and-do-it-all of the Dharma people now. Poor Oldham has been laid off :-p.
“Don’t they remember a character introduced to us a mere 5 episodes ago? Have they completely forgotten about Oldham, an incredibly skilled and effective interrogater who’s only purpose on the island is to get answers from unwilling captives?”
yeah i’ll give you that one… they didnt even mention oldham and they had a whole episode devoted to him.
How the fuck is Oldham incredibly skilled? He just applies truth serum and sits back and lets the answers come out.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“:How is Oldham incredibly skilled?”
He’s the only person in the history of the island to. get straight answers to his questions.
Wooooooot!
One more episode and LOST is finally over!!!!
Jughead go BOOM! and everybody dies?
Right?
Please?
This would be great but sorry about our luck we got a whole season left…
It’s no surprise that I can’t get through one thread without a fart, masterbation, or some other uninspired middle school remark. Usually when I “give up” on a show I just stop watching it… I usually don’t waste my “precious” time on message boards bitching. There are a million things to complain about in the world…. that’s easy…. now do it in an intelligent manner…. that might be a challenge for most of you. I understand the value of taste…. but if your tongue is numb… don’t blame the chef when you can’t taste your steak. “you gettin all this?”
“Usually when I “give up” on a show I just stop watching it… I usually don’t waste my “precious” time on message boards bitching.”
Yet here you are, not liking the content on this blog yet you still waste your “precious” time bitching about our comments?
Sorry to hear about your condition.
Otherwise, LOL, exactly!
you know what, you need to go suck F—LostHaters ass. I’m sure you both will like it.
I “masterbated” into my hand and then pressed it into my ass crack and farted. It sounded like your mom giving birth to you. How’s that for inspiration?
Love,
A middle schooler
HOLY FUCK THIS EPISODE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPED
HATERS HAVE BEEN DDDDDDEMOLISHED
The finale looks fucking awesome, but thats to be expected every finale is fuckign awesome
LOST FTMFW
Isn’t every fucking scene it every fucking episode “fuckign” awesome?
Awesome episode so far! Best of the season!
Tyler? Duh!
-Jack gets kicked in the face! Excellent!
-Richard tells Sun that he is an eye witness to the murder of most of the Lost cast! Sweet!
-Jack gets kicked in the face…again!
-Kate reveals she is even creepier than we already thought.
-Sawyer gets a beating! Awesome! Go Radzinski!
-Juliette gets punched in the mouth. It’s about friggin time.
-Irish underworld crime boss from Rhode Island makes a guest appearance! I didn’t see that coming.
-Faraday looks like he is really snuffed. Nice.
-Kate needs a beating. A severe beating. Soooon.
-Das Boot!
Best episode ever!
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Seeing Jack, Sawyer, and Botox all getting slapped around was extremely cathartic. Can’t wait for Kate to get her beatdown…
Of course, the only problem with seeing those idiots get the shit kicked out of the, is that fifteen minutes later they’re no worse off than ever. I guess the island heals all wounds, except those we views suffer by watching the show. Those will never heal.
P.S. Where are the Oceanic children?
P.P.S. Remember back to season one where the struggle for survival: what to eat, and drink, and how to make shelter? And then season two and the mystery of the hatch and the Others? Okay, I won’t get too nostalgic because those were also the days of unendingly stupid flashbacks, too, but seriously. How can anyone take this show seriously with all the seriously stupid time travel bullshit? The show has been absolutely denuded of any real drama. It really is a cartoon now. All we need are Heckle and Jeckle. Oh, that’s right, we have Kate and Botox.
P.S. to P.S. Or atleast the Oceanic stewardess?
Ok just stumbled upon this site. Thank god, because reading your comments on how bad this show has become has saved me from what was sure to be a self inflicted gunshot wound after dwelling on the thought that I have Lost over 100 hours of my life on this show. Anyway… I am wondering if I am mistaken by thinking that after one of the episodes a few weeks ago I heard them say “next week we explain the statue.” I could have sworn that it was in a preview and it is driving me nuts because obviously that never happened. So please am I crazy or did they say that?
“next week we explain the statue.”
Yes you’re crazy
ok not exactly like that but they eluded to the fact that they were going to explain in the the coming next week shit. My friends swears he saw it as well. I want to say it was the week before they had the billshit one week break. Anyways oh well I probabley imagined it. Stupid show and JJ abrams has me losting my mind.
I didn’t hear this but I wouldn’t be surprised. Every week the hype the next show as giving lots of answers. They never do.
So the island told old pussylockes when he was going to show up. Well what I want to know is how is it talking to him. Maybe he takes a few puffs off old smokey and he talks to the island on cloud nine. If old baldinzki is so tripped out about everything shithead sawyer or LaFuck or whatever his name is now and sluttyette or botox or whatever, but if he is so mad why the fuck would you send them off to tell the whole world what their doing on that island. Killing them would be much easier. Then ya got no worries mate!!! Now just what in the fuck is Jack and that bunch plan on doing with that H-bomb? Maybe they are just going to throw it in a hole and hope for the best. Or maybe the bomb gonna tell them electroids “dont be messing round ya’all or im gonna blow my top…
OH WELL, who the fuck knows with this…………….boom……………………….shitfest…………………………….
You want to know how the island is talking to Locke? I assume if you had the chance to ask…. the writers…. whoever you plan on asking (about a show you seemingly hate)… you probably couldn’t spit out the sentence through your ignorant mouth and gapped front teeth… which is why you throw out “cleve” nicknames on the internet: LaFuck… now that’s original… I bet a 3rd grader could make that connection… though I could be giving you more credit than you deserve. And Yes…. let’s just kill developing characters with plots that havent been resolved yet… I do feel you found your true calling… you should write for television shows. Next time you write about a show you follow but don’t like…. be sure to throw in a few more ‘fucks’… people might mistake you for being competent in your ability to think.
OH BOY, Look guys my freaky faggot fanboy nemesis this week must have a fucking PHD its just to bad its in completely ate up with the dumbass!!!
OH YEAH, Just how do you know what I look like? Do I know you from somewhere?
I’ll bet you anything that “Jughead” gets intercepted by Dharma, and Radzinsky builds it into the Swan Station, and it turns out that it was detonated when Desmond turned the failsafe key in the Season 2 finale…which would mean that Desmond, Locke, Charlie and Echo all survived being in the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.
How do I know this? I’m from the future!
Or it’s just painfully obvious.
You know what… I think you’ve really figured it out! Sounds brainfucked enough to be typically “ingenious LOST-style”!
OMGFG This was the best episode evah
OK . I was joking. But now I tend to agree with the fanboys that this the best show evah. During this episode I was laughing my ass off it was hilarious!
1. Fist , I have to mention how bad the actors are on this show. Young Widmore and Eloise arghhh. Lilly and Fox are extremly untalented. But the winner is Botox. Her face expressions are priceless
2. Locke is back , he is the leader, but it turns out that he is not the one who Richard thoght he was. See? This is the central theme for seasons now and now it turns out that he might not be the right leader. Just like Jack was not suppoded to come back. Laughable.
3. Locke wants to kill Jacob. LOL. I don’t know how he wants to kill a ghost, but we’ll see.
4. We saw TWO JOHN LOCKE at the same time. A new level of suckiness! I don’t think it is better than cloning…
5. Kate is on the sub LOL. Botox is jelous. The triangle continues.
6. Underwater tunnel to the temple LOL.
Thank God only one episode left of this terrible season.
BOOOOOOOOM
Poor kids crying his eyes out lolololololol
BOOOM
Yes indeed wasnt the ending amazing?
I actually gasped, I havent done that in a while.
Cannot wait for the ownage finale
LOL
BOOM
Well, it is hard to gasp with a cock in your mouth. so what happened yesterday? the boyfriend was out of town?
I think this monkey can suck his own dick!!!
“6. Underwater tunnel to the temple LOL.”
Even for Lost that was an extremely weak plot device.
It kinda reminded me of the old Poseidon adventure, don’t know why. I almost expected one of them to “die” out of holding the breath for so long :-p.
Gene Hackman would kick their ass
The CGI sub was hilarious! But fanboys say that this show was never about CGI so who cares?
Don’t forget: this is the CGI sub that only makes visits to the island every six months. Or every two days. Or every half-hour. Or whenever the writers decide they need it again.
Boom.
SUCKAGE
If you watch the promo for next week, you can figure out that the sub will be back in few minutes, so that scene was totally pointless. But anyways, “It doesn’t matter”
I was thinking the same. We see “LaFleur”, Botox, and slutface on the island talking to Jack in the preview for next weeks episode. So what was the point of them “leaving” on the sub? To show us the worst CGI in network tv history?
How do all these Dharma-folks fit in at once ??????????? I mean they don’t look like clowns (although of course they are!).
who gives a crap about a fleeting scene of a submerging sub. like that has anything to do with anything. anyone who says the episode sucked because of that scene is a douchebag.
we don’t say LOST sucks because of that bad scene, we say that scene is bad as LOST sucks
Look carefully for all the covert CGI cameltoe..
I’m looking forward to the summer break!
Guys, I do want to apologize for my pathetically bad blog post today. I know it’s weak, poorly written, and redundant.
But you guys don’t really deserve any better.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Tyler just told all of you that you suck
Note that the real Tyler’s name is a link. This one’s ain’t.
It is not more poorly written, weak and redundant than LOST.
BOOM
Another Tyler impersonator. I agree though, that post was pretty bad
“It doesn’t matter!”
What matters is that you create a new blog entry for each new episode that we can rant about.
At least ending didn’t suked
It didn’t suked, but it sucked big time :-p.
Dude, it turns out this show really is awesome. You were right LOSTnLOST, you were right the whole time. You win, we lose. The finale is going to be so good, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it out of shame. Lost Rules. I’m leaving, I’m going to a fanboy site and I’m going to stay there.
haha
1. There’s no way that Jack could possibly understand anything that a PhD physicist wrote in his personal physics journal.
2. There’s no way Dharma would capture Kate and then just stick her on the sub.
Dude, you forgot that this LOST.
I forgot to mention a very lame twist:
Sayed popped up in the jungle at the right place at the right time. This Island must fucking small.
And don’t you find Sun extremely annoying with “where is my husband???” thing? It is more annoying than WAAAAAAAAALT
Sun is starting to remind of that guy from Office Space who keep asking about his stapler.
“Um, er, excuse me but I was told that if i went back to the island I could find my husband, and so.”
“Not now, Sun, first we have to go on this dark jungle trek to the barracks.”
“OK, er, um, we’ve gone on the jungle trek now could somebody tell me how to find my husband?”
“You’ve got a long journey ahead of you.”
“Um, why are we heading back to the beach, John, you promised me that we’d be looking for my husband, and it doesn’t look like we’re looking for my husband.”
[under his breath]“Ha, she thinks I’m interested in looking for her husband. I don’t give a shit about her stupid husband.”
“Mr. Eyeliner Man, um, I was told that we would be looking for my husband, do you know where he is?”
“Yeah. I saw him die.”
“OK, that’s great. Hey Ben, um, er, when do you think we’re going to get back to looking for my husband?”
I knew something was bothering me about Sun—H8er Boi has nailed it. I think she used to be a kind of interesting character 2 or 3 seasons ago, but now I dread seeing her almost as much as seeing Kate.
“Um, well, ok, but if someone doesn’t give me my husband back soon, I’m, um, I’m… going to burn the statue down…”
Can’t wait for next week’s finale! I think it’s two hours, then we all get a nice long break.
Anybody else notice in the previews that Sawyer and Kate are back on the island? Kinda defeats the purpose of the minor cliffhanger involving the CGI sub chugging back the “the real world.”
It was painful watching Hurley climb up that tiny little hill with his food backpack and guitar case. I hope they got it in one take, because I guarantee you that guy has topped 400 pounds.
With all they could be showing us, the writers still insist on keeping alive the Sawyer / Kate / Botox love triangle. Hey Darlton: Grey’s Anatomy sucks too.
The writers, showing their incredible abilities again, just screwed up and made an endless time paradox. If Locke from the future gave Richard the supplies to help himself, even seeing him, that would mean that it would continue in a cycle. That means the Locke in the future isn’t the Locke in the past because he would’ve already known he was going there. How stupid is that?
fuckin stupid
10 START
20 COCK GUN AND LINE UP IN GUN SIGHT
30 GO ON JUNGLE TREK
40 GO ON BEACH TREK
50 PISTOL WHIP SOMEONE
60 SHOOT CLOSE RELATIVE
70 INSERT 15 SECS OF CHEAPASS CGI
80 CARRY RUBBER STUNT PIG ON SHOULDERS
90 COLLECT CHEQUE FROM JJ
100 IF SHOW CANCELLED GOTO 110 ELSE 20
110 END
Why didn’t Locke just help himself instead of telling Richard too. That would have been cool.
The island told hom to do this way.
Right?
They blew all their FX budget ($99) on that cartoon sub sequence so no Locke twin time paradox.
But it’s all been done before and far better. At least two times by my count.
There is a Star Trek: Next Generation Episode where the Enterprise gets caught in a space-time loop that always ends with the ship blowing up and killing everyone. We get to see 3 loops in that episode. As always, Data saves the day, by sending a message from the 2nd to the 3rd iteration via his “subconscious”.
In Star Trek Voyager, Harry Kim is the guilt-ridden sole survivor of Voyager crashing onto an ice world. Years later he time travels from the future back to the past just before the “crash” in order to change things and prevent the “crash”. He succeeds and the time loop is erased and life is good again.
Not that JJ/Darlton would ever be accused of being derivative?
“In Star Trek Voyager, Harry Kim is the guilt-ridden sole survivor of Voyager crashing onto an ice world.”
Chakotay survives too.
This episode wasn’t very good, but I have to give them some credit.
- There were no flashback ( maybe the Locke time loop was one)
- Sawyer, Juliet and Jack got the shit kicked out of them
- People actually demand answers and get them!
- Do you know what happened to those people in the 70’s?
- They died
- What are you going to do?
- Kill Jacob
- Show me where the hostiles live
-O.k.
(but maybe he tricked him…)
- The plot advanced quickly, that is, almost as quickly as other shows.
But I’m sure the writers will manage to wreck it next week…to wreck it next week…
Some the “They all died” didn’t make me feel anything. I mean had it been the earlier seasons, I could see myself jumping up and down saying “OMG, they all die!!!!”. But I was just like “Okay, they die. Good.”
Even the killing Jacob brought the same blah reaction. God, looks like I am slowly becoming immune to Lost!
CGI sub was awesome. I was definitely expecting Crocasourus or the Dino-Raptor to jump out of the water and eat someone during that scene. But don’t overlook the CGI beach from the opening scene with Richard in the tent. That was also very sci-fi channel and kind of inexplicable given that they shoot lots of scenes on the beach. What’s one more.
The amazing thing for me is to think of the contrast between the sub scene and the raft-leaving scene from the second to last episode of S1 – what I basically consider the high water mark of the show.
The raft scene took place after all the personal character issues had been wrapped up, personal issues that the viewer was emotionally invested in, it was shot great, the music was good – it was a great, emotional scene.
In contrast – we get the retarded love triangle, a CGI sub and a CGI sunset, followed up by scenes from the next ep. showing that they’re back on the island next week.
It kills me that my friends who still like lost dont see the difference between what it was and what it is now.
Great point, that was the high water mark. Its all been downhill since then.
why are you comparing the sub scene to the raft scene?????
Becasue it shows the quality difference between s1 and s5! But you can’t understand it as you are a blind fanboy.
Clearly the raft scene owns the sub scene, but they shouldnt be compared, but you would because you are a blind hater
because it was pretty clear they were going for a similar effect – emotional possible goodbye from the island at the end of a season – complete with hokey “i love you” bullshit between “jim” and botox and cheesy music as the red october sailed off into the sunset.
there have been a bunch of scenes like this during the last few seasons – deaths, goodbyes, tearful speeches – where they try to copy what worked in the first season except it doesnt work because (apart from the worse acting, dialogue and cgi) its missing all the character development, drama, suspense and interesting plot development of the first season which led up to those scenes.
AMEN TO THAT BROTHA!!!
Hi
Hello.
Hello Jack!
HIGH!!!
Wow, I’m impressed with Locke. He’s got the “hostiles” thinking he’s their leader just by time travelling and telling them so himself! He travels back and tells Richard he’s special, and voila he is. He makes sure Richard tells Locke’s past self that he has to die to get back and voila, he dies and he gets back. I’m sure there is a scene I missed where he told the smoke monster that he was the hero too
. Now wonder the poor thing is besotted with Locke even telling Ben to “follow” him :-p.
I wouldn’t be surprised if smokey suddenly changed into a beautiful woman and told Locke “You are the only one who didn’t look at me as if I was ugly. Please kiss me my prince Charming” . Now that would be THE ending for Lost
.
This week’s Breaking Bad was pretty awesome even though it lacked any kind of antagonist.
Roger that. I like watching Walt and the punk cooking meth and getting into jams a whole lot more than watching Walt hang out with his wife and the punk nailing his skank goth landlord.
Yeh, I want to see trouble from Badger’s cousin.
I loled at “Somethin different about you. You got a new haircut?”
“No, I have a purpose now.”
Awesome! Richard watched them all die.
Sun doesn’t even ask John if she is allowed to join her on the quest to save Jin.
So you fought in the Korean War.
There’s no such thing. LOL wtf?
How the fuck does John know that this is the instant he beamed to when he encountered Richard?
This was the best episode EVAH.
Now I know why their future selves of the past were digging holes in the Daharma Compund. They were looking for the entrance to the Temple Of The Hydragen Bahomb. Where the fahuck is Charelton Heston when you naheed him?
The island told him, why did I ever question that, huh?
Why dont they just swim to the opening on the surface and then dive?
Stop posting, idiot.
Have they forgotten that people need to be unconcious for the sub trip?
I’m impressed that Ben and John can actually talk while walking, not like Faraday and Sawyer who had no time to talk, so they stopped walking for Faraday to explain why there was no time to explain.
Maybe a new fresh writer joined the team? He won’t last for long!
can you gayfucks get a gayfucking life? no seriously. ill give you gayfucks 1 gayfucking dollar to buy yourselves a life. and yes, 1 gayfucking dollar will buy a better life than the gayfucking one you’re living right now.
How might I aquire said dollar?
Sorry, brah. If you want me off this site, it’ll cost you 3.2 million dollars.
why 3.2 million dollars? Maybe because it is the double of 1.6 million? Am I right?
Nerer ask me that again!
If you have sex with me then it is OK!
I love LOST!
this is the best from you fanboys? impersonate someone?
Weak!
BOOOOM
I hate LOST!
Is widmore dead?
Saeed shot the two people with richard and eloise.
It doesn’ t matter! Getting shot on lost doesn’t mean anything..
Ratings anyone?
I’m excited
I didn’t watch the episode, or any of the last 7 for that matter, but I can usually get a good feel for how shitty an episode is just based on the comments of others. This week, however, is truly confusing. It’s like both sides just think the show is played out. Even the supporters are becoming apathetic towards sticking up for it. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that almost everyone, on both sides, just doesn’t give a shit about the characters anymore. I remember early on in the series that I was actually pulling for people to make it off the island because I felt a connection based on their back stories. Now I don’t care one way or the other what happens to any of them. They’ve all conducted themselves like complete assholes at this point and deserve whatever fate Abrams and his traveling band of idiots has in store for them.
However, there is one mystery that has become more intriguing than any other the show has produced. And that mystery, my friends, is how on earth does Desmond have a pending sexual harassment case brought against him. The girl is clearly lying. Let’s be honest, how could any woman resist a “brotha” thrown in their direction?
Yeah, the show has gotten bad mainly (for me anyways) because the characters have sucked lately. The funny thing is Desmond is actually one character I still like mainly because he accomplished something with his life (marrying Pen and starting a family), but the actor is prolly going to jail and won’t be able act in season 6.
“…how on earth does Desmond have a pending sexual harassment case brought against him. The girl is clearly lying.”
Yep, not the least bit believable and the attorney who filed the suit is a retard and soon to be laughingstock.
She should have filed it against Monahan a couple of years ago. Now that would have been funny watching him trying to defend himself.
best ep in a long time. locke wants to kill jacob.. people who are into the show recall when locke went to jacob’s cabin and jacob said “help me”… we are now left to speculate how killing him is helping him. has he been held hostage all this time? who knows? great fucking show though… not perfect… littered with continuity errors… but it’s aTV show.. meant for entertainment.. nothing cracks me up than a bunch of lostards who hate the show but watch it and then spend the whole next week blogging about how much it sucked… i think you guys are gonna miss it in the offseason more than the people who like it… and that makes me laugh my ass off!
“but it’s aTV show.. meant for entertainment”
Yes. Exactly. It is entertaining because it’s so bad.
We have fun watching it because it is so bad. It’s goofy bad. And it’s funny because of that.
So you are on some kind of weird power trip where you become angry and unsettled because other people enjoy something that you also enjoy but it rattles your brain that other people don’t enjoy it for exactly the same reason you do.
Seriously, that makes you a freak. Just think about it. Do you want to continue being a scary, creepy little freak?
i get it, you think it’s bad. personally, i don’t watch shows i think are bad. in fact, i avoid them like the plague. so i don’t get why anyone would choose to watch a show b/c it’s bad. to me, watching bad TV is a waste of my valuable time. But since i like the show, i like to BS about it, and it is fun to have found a blog where people who hate it, yet totally obsess over it.
the only think that makes this board less retarded than the fanboy boards is the fact that y’all allow differing points of view. you can get banned at lost-forum for saying the writers are lazy sometimes. the jackasses that run that site are def bigger cornholers retards than you guys..
“personally, i don’t watch shows i think are bad. in fact”
Not exactly flattering promotion for your thinking capabilities, Dude.
Your time can’t be to valuable if you keep coming here!!!
Aw Tyler, come on man, the sexy little sub slinking into the water was the best part! So, uh, that’s saying something.
All I really gotta say is wow, though… They totally gave up even trying to have a cohesive plot… It’s really quite amazing.
the supporters have become apathetic not toward the show, but toward this site. mostly because you imbeciles rehash the same retarded arguments every single week. i used to enjoy coming here to troll you fuckwads, but that has even grown stale. congrats on being boring, everyone.
Well thank god you showed up with this insightful post to really get things going. Unfortunately, its not our fault the show sucks and when they make the same mistakes episode after episode why would we not call them out on it. The truly sad part is that you still can’t come up with something clever in response.
Why did you even post?
Why are you here?
He’s here because he’s a retard and can’t get any responses from the fanboy boards.
Oh.
That actually makes sense.
Thank you very much!!!
i didn’t read any of you faggots’ nitpicky bitchy bullshit. this was the best episode in a long time and yeah, it was a set up for the season finale… so what????
I saw Walt in the one episode when Locke was trying to recruit but did we ever find out what happened to his Dad, Michael I think. I couldn’t stand the guy and am absolutely happy he’s gone but was just wondering if they said what happened to him or gave him the Bernard and Rose treatment.
You must either have missed the second half of season 4, or blocked it out of your memory (wish I could). Michael was recruited by the Others to be a spy on Widmore’s freighter. We got a full-episode flashback in which he tried several times to kill himself, but was unable, because the island had other plans for him. (Hen he got blowed up real good on the freighter in the finale. This was when I lost faith in the show. I thought Michael was a great character, and his arc in season 2 was one of my favorite parts of the show. Why even bring him back?
Oh alright I just forget half the people that were supposed to die on that freighter because a lot of them ended up surviving. I’m sure its only a matter of time before he washes up on shore by some kind of miracle.
Has anyone noticed that on a weekly basis now it’s as if the writers are having an injoke and speaking directly to our complaints. For example, Jack says, “What about this Kate…This could be my purpose, our destiny.” Everyone complained the entire season Jack had no purpose.
Then we ripped the daddy issues, but Miles dad actually helped him off the island. Then you have characters screaming “Give me some answers”. You have Hurley ripping on the time paradox, you have someone complain about jungle treks. It’s as if the writer’s don’t give a shit about the show either and just want a paycheck.
I don’t give a damn about this show anymore. It’s gotten to the point where the season ruined my view of the first four and I can no longer look at the characters the same. It’s almost painful to watch the show each week and I actually wish the characters all died off. It sucks.
You my friend are right and you are at the right website. That is more than I can say for some of the others here. Why didn’t Miles daddy ever get back with Momma Miles? Is this another one of those mysteries that will never get solved? Oh yeah this is LOST…
I just thought of something else…
This episode confirmed Faraday’s death…
Remeber the cliffhanger ending to “The Constant”? Faraday flips through his notebook to a page that says, “If anything goes wrong, Desmond is my constant.”
Add that to the list of abandoned mysteries, along with what Libby was doing in the mental hospital and what the others were doing with Walt.
Well all in all just what did we find out in this episode? And the answer is, LOST STILL SUCKS!!!
why were they giving them shots in season one????……
what made rousseau’s people go crazy?
Maybe it was Rousseau that went crazy and not her people…
the buttfuck clown monster
They should just end the whole show by having the OC6, Others, Freighter survivors, and Dharma people all having one big final shoot out gun battle, in which almost everyone gets killed… except for Jack and Ben.
Ben shoots Jack, mortally wounding him. Jack’s last words to Ben is: “You… bloody… BASTARD!” Then Jack presses a button before he dies… detonating the hydrogen bomb… destroying the entire island.
The screen goes black… then a narrator says:
“Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, lies a small and insignificant island, is now dead.”
BOOM!
I heard the last couple of seasons of 24 sucked
Well, not as much as Lost. That sucked since episode 2.
At least “24″ resolves most of it’s issues by the end of each season… all supposedly in a 24 hour time span.
Sub-plots and new characters always serve a purpose to the story. And there are very few loose ends at the end of the season.
And Jack Bauer would kick Jack Shepard’s ass anyday.
And Kiefer Sutherland would kick Matthew Fox’s ass anyday.
Demon Lindelhoff confirmed that the NUMBERS will never be fully explained. They are the number of Valenzeti equation and that’ s it. Another mystery “solved”.
link?
Don’t you trust me? I know it is hrd for you to digest but you fanboys won’t get any aswers you are waiting for! Ha!
BOOOOOOOM
I remember hearing way back in season 1 that the numbers were only ever intended for the one lottery episode. But when the fans start going nuts over the numbers and what they meant they started plastering them all over the place. I have no idea if this is true or not but it certainly fits with their make it up as you go writing.
Yeah I remember too. It was JJ.Shithead’s brilliant idea.
Do you all see the writers cheap concept of “explaining without answering” by using timeloops, better said causality loops? Instead of showing us real reasons for the mysterious events the LOSTies encountered, they simply explain them by “they encountered the mysteries just because they themselves, their future selves, caused them in the past, sometimes just because they learned they had to cause them as they knew they encountered them in their past in the future (What happened happened is still valid, as we can assume that Faradays “We actually can change things” did also always happen and is therefor wrong)”. So the mysteries are explained, but as the actual events behind the mysteries therefor have no purpose, they are meaningless.
One can assume that the writers will furthermore apply that concept to explain for example the dharma food drops: One of the characters might organise the drops himself to help their former selves to feed after the crash (as he is most likely too stupidly written to realise that he has no other choice as what happend happened.
CHEAPY CHEAPY CHEAP CHEAP!
Exactly. None of the myteries will have a real answer. Why did all these things happen? Because the Island (which will be a metaphor of God) wanted it this way. Boom
Tyler, I have a question. Do you really hate evry minute of every eop since halfway season 2 are are you just making these blog posts because people want to?
If you like the next episode, will you be honest to us?
He would tell us but that won’t happen because lost is beyond repair.
Yeah I know, but a single episode can still be good.
Even if the next episode is magically phenomenal, it’ll take a lot more than that to redeem this show.
Redemption is impossible, this show has sucked for to long now with extreamly lame explainations for most of the mysteries…
I would absolutely say if I liked it. And I don’t hate every minute, probably 58 out of 60 minutes.
Proof that Lost will not have a good ending…from EOnline.com.
WHAT’S TO COME
Lost boss Damon Lindelof attended the excellent Juan-Manuel Rocha-hosted Comics on Comics event at Meltdown on Sunset tonight. He offered the assembled crowd several very interesting insights about the future of Lost.
VOTE NO ON MIDI-CHLORIANS: Damon gave us a sense of what kind of Lost questions will be answered, and which other mysteries won’t explicitly be explained by the end of the series: “There are certain questions about the show that I’m very befuddled by like, ‘What is the Island?’ or ‘What do the numbers mean?’ We’re going to be explaining a little more about the numbers, maybe significantly more about the numbers, but what do you mean by ‘What do the numbers mean?’ What is a potential answer to that question? I feel like you have to be very careful about entering into midi-chlorian territory…I grew up on Star Wars, I’ve seen the Star Wars movies hundreds of times, I can recite them chapter and verse, and never once did anyone ever say to me or did it occur to me to say, ‘What is the Force, exactly? Can you explain that for me, better than Alec Guinness does?’ I understand, ‘When are we going to find out about Libby?’ That’s a very finite question. ‘Who is Jacob?’ OK, yes, we’ve been talking to this guy named Jacob, so those questions then should have answers, but ‘What is the Island?’ That starts to get into ‘What is the Force?’ It is a place. I can’t explain to you why it moves through space-time, it just does. You have to accept the fact that it does.” Can you live with that?
SURVEY SAYS, ZZZT! WRONG ANSWER: Regarding the approaching final season and possible fan reaction to the accompanying reveals, Damon says, “There isn’t a perfect way to end the show, but the end inevitably approaches and so the show has to start answering more and more questions. To me the greatest thing about Lost, just in terms of writing it, was that [over the years] the show could ask a question, and everyone [watching] could say ‘Here’s what I think the answer to that is.’ And next year we’re basically going to spend the entire season telling you you’re wrong. ‘Here’s the actual answer to that question.’ And you’re going to say, ‘S–t, my answer was actually much better.’ ” Have you been satisfied or displeased with the answers we’ve gotten so far?
HOW IT ENDS: Just as an insight into Damon’s mind (and thus a pointer to possible plans for the Lost series ender), you might be interested to know that the M*A*S*H finale is Damon’s all-time favorite series conclusion.
MORE SERIES FINALE CLUES: Damon says that when the show ends, “All of the character resolutions will be very defined. There is going to be no cut to black. The show for me and Carlton [Cuse] and J.J. [Abrams] and all the people writing it—it’s not about the Island. The Island is where it takes place. It’s about this group of people who crashed on the Island on Sept. 22, 2004, and how they influenced the history of the Island in some ways and had a very significant and pivotal role to play there. You’re going to see that role play out, and their fates will all be resolved by the end of the series—that’s the story that we’re telling. In terms of every little bit of minutiae about the Island itself…there will be questions [left unanswered] after the show [ends].”
LIBBY SAYS HI: Libby’s story will not be wrapped up on the show. Says Damon, “I have learned that if you kill someone off the show, they are less likely to cooperate with you.” Basically, Cynthia Watros is busy until further notice and they can’t explain Libby without her, at least not in any way that shows her story rather than annoyingly tells her story. What’s the takeaway for us fans? Next time you’ve got Damon cornered, don’t waste your breath asking about Libby. Instead, bust his chops about another very important blonde: Claire! Where is that little minx, anyway?
THE SUM IS 108: This one goes out to all the Lostpedians out there. Damon said, “Here’s the story with numbers. The Hanso Foundation that started the Dharma Initiative hired this guy Valenzetti to basically work on this equation to determine what was the probability of the world ending in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Valenzetti basically deduced that it was 100 percent within the next 27 years, so the Hanso Foundation started the Dharma Initiative in an effort to try to change the variables in the equation so that mankind wouldn’t wipe it itself out.” This information, in more convoluted form, was leaked out via the online games rather than explained on the show itself, says Damon, because, “That would be the worst thing ever. We have to make the show for the hardcore fans who care about the numbers, but we also have to make it for my mom, who just wants Sawyer to take his shirt off.”
SO THERE: While discussing Wolverine and the role of canon in comic adaptations, Damon said, “At the end of the day, you can do anything you want [as a storyteller] so long as it’s cool.” Certainly applies to Lost too, don’t you think?
Yeah basically he says that don’t expect any answer !
I feel for the fanboys!
I hate internet retards who constantly throw the word ‘fanboy’ around. Get a fucking life.
i just read the first long paragraph and i have no problem with any of it. i have contended for a long time that you guys expect too much from this show.
Maybe you are just too easily satisfied with way too less?
“Regarding the approaching final season and possible fan reaction to the accompanying reveals, Damon says, “There isn’t a perfect way to end the show, but the end inevitably approaches and so the show has to start answering more and more questions. To me the greatest thing about Lost, just in terms of writing it, was that [over the years] the show could ask a question, and everyone [watching] could say ‘Here’s what I think the answer to that is.’ And next year we’re basically going to spend the entire season telling you you’re wrong. ‘Here’s the actual answer to that question.’ And you’re going to say, ‘S–t, my answer was actually much better.’ ” Have you been satisfied or displeased with the answers we’ve gotten so far?”
Awesome, he admits that he’s a shit writer.
Unbelievable!
Demon Lindelhoff says that they don’t finish Libby’s story as the actress is not availbale! Remeber few weeks ago they stated that her story is unimportant !
What a fucking liar!
omg you are such a bitch! a dumb, bitchy bitch! a libby backstory would be nice –and i think killing off her and anna lucia was dumb– but it’s not like her story really matters to the overall plot… so who cares?
it was dumb for them to drink and drive too.
but darlton knew they’d get arrested since they’ve had the whole story planned from the beginning.
What overall plot??
exactly!!!
Screw Libby, bring back Nikki!
Why didn’t he just say “Don’t ever ask me about Libby again.”
Boy that sub diving shot was awful, wasn’t it? A real laugher. Too bad they couldn’t show it jumping some sharks along the way. Well next week they’re back on the island, so – SURPRISE!!!! – nothing really changes. I guess it’s supposed to be fresh and cool that now the Losties seem to have all the answers while the Dharmites and Others/Hostiles stand around looking clueless and surprised. It isn’t. Different verse, same as the first, as some great philosopher once said. Liked the part where the tough guy said he could make Sawyer talk and then slapped all the botox into one side of Juliet’s face and then Sawyer said he’d kill him and then they both just sort of moved on. Very Lost-ish. And Locke standing around watching himself from the past… Gawd-uh, what a flaming sack of shit this show has become! Maybe they’ll all be picked up by the Enterprise on one of its journeys back into time to end the show. The “Lost” logo appears, and then disappears in the “jump to mega hyper star drive” fx. Ben, Jack, Locke, et.al try to outsmart Kirk and take over the ship. “We have to go baaaack!”
Ha!
8.70 million viewers this week. It is really poor from the best show evah!
“American Idol” at 9 p.m. gave FOX a 13.7/21 as one more person was booted to make a Final Three.
CBS took second place with a 8.9/14 for “Criminal Minds,” topping ABC’s “Lost,” 5.3/8 and a repeat of NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU,” 3.2/5. The CW trailed with a “90210″ repeat.
“CSI: NY,” 8.5/14, led at 10 p.m. for CBS, followed by a 5.5/9 for NBC’s “Law & Order.” “The Unusuals” dipped to 3.1/5 on ABC.
thats only because the casual viewing retards found it too difficult to follow – even though its not. At all. And they freak out when they realsie they might be watching sci-fi.
“Time travel?! Wait I dont watch sci-fi! Fuck Lost! ”
By the way, this is the lamest waste-of-space site I’ve seen in a while.
It’s not too difficult for us to follow and that’s the problem. We realize that the writers don’t have a clue through continuity errors, illogical happenings, and most importantly their own admissions. I like sci fi and would love to be dumb enough to overlook all the problems on Lost and enjoy it. Unfortunately, they are so blatant that I simply cannot.
Ignorance is bliss. My hat’s off to you Ben.
And so many of them…
For it being the lamest waste of space site you come here an awful lot and waste space too…
“As a Lost fan yourself, how shocking did you find this season’s finale? Is it more shocking or less that the season-three finale where we learned Jack and Kate got off the Island?
Ours is a show that specializes in big shock endings, but I think season five…None of the other shock endings left me wondering how the show goes on. We have two kinds of huge shocks at the end of this one. Each one alone would be enough to keep an audience eating its own soul for the whole hiatus, but with two, I don’t know what you can do with that.”
What can this huge shock be? I don’t know but I have no doubt that it will be pretty lame!
If a show needs a huge shock (whatever that is) to keep viewers alive then it is a pretty lame show right from the start
I’m sure all the main characters will die as Richard said they did…but it’s ok, cuz someone will put magic shoes on them and they’ll be reincarnated just like Locke.
Not only did you not have to bring everyone back to the island. Locke’s vital organs were not apparently necessary either seeing as how the funeral home probably would have drained his blood, embalmed him, etc.
the shock is that we find out jack has a vagina.
no wait we already knew that.
now thats some funny shit!!!
Jack will change the past, and O815 never crashed. The final scene is the landfing of that plane.
Read that on some spoiler site.
Way to go erasing all we’ve ever seen.
And why is that shocking?
We know that there are 2 options:
1. ersae the past which would make the first 5 seasons pointless. Very lostish but very lame as well.
2. Whatever happned happened. We knew it at all along. Boring and pointless.
Both soulutions suck donkey balls!
BOOOM
At least the Butterfly Effect was only two hours longs when they used the ending that Lost will most likely steal.
Biggest possible shock: They give clever and coherent answers to a bunch of the stupid crap they’ve thrown against the wall for the past few years, hoping that some of it might stick.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for this man!
Did Hurley eat Cheech Marin?
Yes, he did.
But, really… how come that guy is even fatter than he was 5 years ago? Maybe the producers are making experiments with him and he does not know that.
Why do you think he made so much of the garlic mayo?
it’s hard to believe that sun and jin were once interesting, 3-dimensional characters.
BOOM.
WAAAAAAAALT!
What happened to Yunjun Kim or whoever the fuck? I thought that she was a talented actress but now her acting is totally annoying. I think that even the actors can’t take this show seriously anymore, that is why their acting has become so bad. It it weren’t for their contract, all of the would leave this trainwreck show immediately.
Today they all use only a small percentage of their acting capabilities (As far as they ever had some), like they knew they are just telling bedtime stories to small children (what in fact they are doing considering their average audience) and are not acting on stage in a respected theater. Why waste energy on depth of the character or on any kind of real personal emotional involvement while acting, what you could feel watching their role characters?! The children will be entirely happy when you just speak with a growling voice to show you’re angry.
Well, if you are talking about untalented actors… look no further than Sawyer. That dumbass looks at the camera when he is saying his lines and he reacts in a conversation like 4 seconds later than a normal person would. He takes the concept of hillbilly inbred to a whole other level…
The only reason he’s still on the show is because he takes his shirt off every now and then and women seem to like his flabby stomach… SAD!
More than the women, Darlton seem to like Sawyer taking off his shirt. They keep mentioning it in all of their interviews :-p.
Haha agreed.
That would explain why the producers have kept that guy on the show for so long.
I always wondered what was the deal with that Sawyer actor and why he suddenly became like the main character in season 5, which is the season LOST really went down the toilet… Coincidence?
It had to do with something more than the actor being talented, because he is most definetely not.
And now Dee solved the mystery.
Thanks
Yep, that sounds about right. Of course Holloway is saying he wishes he never was a “sex symbol”. LOL
Boy this guy is kidding himself if he thinks he has a body.
i don’t get how fanboys keep hoping that cast members will win emmys. Making pouty faces, and saying cheesy one-liners isn’t a recipe for good acting.
I don’t think too many of the actors on Lost take their roles very seriously anymore. I mean, even O’Quinn downplayed his Emmy the year he won it. There are a few actors that insist the show is still #1 on the Nielsen ratings charts, but reality is sinking in.
Show up on the set….have coffee…rip and rag about the writing of the damn show….spit out your lines in front of the camera….rag some more about the writing during afternoon tea….go home….collect massive paycheck……………rag about the “stingy compensation” and being unappreciated….Show up on the………….
It is so funny how these fanboys get so mad because somebody thinks that their favorite show in the whole wide world sucks ass. First thing to do is get some name calling in. Usually something related to the gay class, and this makes you wonder if they are insecure with there own sexuality or what. With this most are done for lack of ability to think of any thing else. Then you have the ones who can get past the name calling but can’t come up with anything very substantial, their fore the lame post just really shows there intelligence. Trying to defend this crapfest they will go on with some thing about how you don’t have any idea as to what you are talking about. The always lame, just quit watching it, and then in closing will judge your intelligence by calling you dumb stupid etc. etc. etc. I really get a kick out of the ones who have the “precious time” issues. Now if your time is so precious just what the fuck are you doing waisting it in here. Not so precious after all eh. And just what makes you freaky faggot-assed fanboys so goddamb smart? Is it becausr you love this lame assed show? If anybody needs to get a life around here its you fuckers!!! You guys know damb well where your at, so just who is invading who here? So go ahead with your smug asses thinking your so smart, thats OK with us because we know who the loosers really are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SUCK MY ASS YOU FREAKY LITTLE FAGGOT-ASSED FANBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great fanboy reaction to Darlton’s latest podacast. I’m happy that these two stupid clowns piss off even the fanboys.
“I think I’m more pissed about Faraday than the compass. I’ve thought for a while that we were dealing with a time loop. I think it will become apparent that Daniel’s notebook is in a time loop also. But this stuff about not getting to Faraday’s story with Chang because of “show constraints” is just sloppy. If they mean time constraints, then well, I think I could have lived without the whole Oldham story. The writers weren’t able to get to Daniel’s encounter with Chang so the Comic Con video is now non-canon? Seriously?
Seems like the only useful thing to come out of “He’s Our You” was Sayid telling the Dharma folk about their pending doom. If Faraday was supposed to do that all along with Chang, and more convincingly it seems, than that whole “He’s Our You” hour was a waste. I have nothing against Sayid, but the gist of his back story was that he was a killer. We already knew that. To me, Faraday’s role in the end game of this season, if not the entire series, was much more imoportant than reminding us AGAIN that Sayid is a killer.
This just adds to the list of things they’re not going to answer that pisses me off. They already said that we will likely not learn anything more about Libby, but it seems to me the reason she ended up at Santa Rosa should be important to the story. The writers just got greedy and threw too many questions out there before they determined when the show would end. They thought this ride would last forever. I really would like to know what criteria the producers used to decide what mysteries needed to be resolved.
Sloppy.
if time were a constraint, i could have done without jack’s tattoo, or nikki and paulo, or rose and bernard, or michael and walt, or libby and ana lucia, or boone and shannon, or claire and charlie, you know… all those “main” characters that have nothing to do with the show now?
I really would like to know what criteria the producers used to decide what mysteries needed to be resolved.
eenee meenee mynee moe
I’d like to say drugs, but not even stoners/crackheads are that incoherent and illogical.
Maybe they have mysteries pinned on a wall and throw darts at them, which Brannong Braga decided which characters would turn out to by cylons on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica.
The only way to save LOST is to bring in Jack Bauer!
He will resolve everything about the show within 24 hours… guaranteed… but probably will end up getting everyone else killed in the process.
But at least the ending of LOST would be spectacular!
It would be spectacular… because there won’t be any more crappy episodes until 2010.
The lack of interest on the show can be seen everywhere… up to this point everyone is kind of ashamed of being associated with LOST, producers, actors, fanboys. There is practically no media coverage of the final.
–The minute John Locke said: ”I have to move the Island”, I knew it was over.
As “I Hate Kate” commented above on 2009-05-09 02:05:21:
“Kiefer Sutherland would kick Matthew Fox’s ass anyday.”
Hell yeah, that bar fight he got into!!!! Poor Kiefer, the poor guy’s an alcoholic…bad ass actor, hope he gets help.
Who ever said Jack was tough? The guy is completely pathetic. I don’t know what’s worse, his tattoos or his lame ass drinking problem. From my own experience alcoholics are typically mean, violent, funny, and/or womanizers – Jack is none of these things.
If you really want answers all you would need to do is drop Vic Mackey on the island from The Shield. Within one episode he’d know every single thing about the island, find a way to steal some of Widmore’s money, and solve the pregnancy problem.
Actually, I don’t loath Jack as much as I loath Locke (for resurrecting and letting Ben kill him like 20 times), Kate (for being a whore and not showing us the goodies) or Sawyer (for being a racist and an extremely ignorant individual).
This doctor is most definetely not smart, but the’s not even in the top 5 of the most stupid characters on the show. I see where all the despise towards Jack comes from, but I think there are characters like Sawyer and Faragay who have really done nothing on the island and they made it to season 5.
the reduced media coverage of the finale and the show in general may be a cost cutting measure. And really, why not? What is the point of advertising at this stage?
No matter what they do, they are not going to get any more new fans. All they can hope for is to stem the desertion rate of their current fan base.
And how would they decrease the desertion rate… with advertising dipshit.
OK I got it.
1) The Island represents the womb.
2) The guns are all phallic symbols.
3) Ben is the creepy art teacher from High School.
4) Kate is the bad penny, ex-wife type that turns up everytime Sawyer starts to get his groove on.
5) The submarine actually represents a train going into a tunnel.
6) Faraday is the licentiousness of the 1960’s.
7) Jacob is Ronald Reagan.
and we are Devo, D-E-V-O…
AND YOU SIR ARE A DOOFUSS AND PROBABLY GAY!
pink?
By the way, how is it possible viewers care that Locke is going to kill Jacob (a character we have never seen and is appearing on the show until this week). Why are always the final lines in each episode the most retarded ones?
I wasn’t a surprise I got diahrrea after watching the sub scene…
and we are all together

Has John Locke really ever seen Jacob? The best I can remember is he heard him say “help me” but I czn’t remember him actually seeing him. Now when he went inside the cabin the one time, daddy jack was the one who told him to move the island…
He saw an old pirate on the chair.
So he may have come off of the Blackrock? That is one of the many mysteries they have done very little with.
It doesn’t matter right now!
I am happy that even fanboys start to realise that lost sucks.
“This has quite been the poor season.
——————————————————————————–
No real standout episodes like the last few seasons.
Big developments that went nowhere. Losties get back in Dharma and don’t explore all the strange things that have been going on all this time, like the numbers etc, instead they sit on their asses all this time.
Sun’s turn at the end of last year’s finale went nowhere.
Long awaited moments like Rousseau, Montard end up being poorly developed etc
A bunch on inconsistencies pop up.
Terrible CGI
Opening a season with Faraday in Dharma times, then have him absent for most of the season, then tease him coming back with answers and then kill him off in the most stupid way possible, to reinforce an idea that didn’t need reinforcing.
Now they have to tease up with “Will Jack go crrraaaaaaaaaazzzzzy and blow up the island?!” All with a lame buildup. Even Season 2 had its moments.
Any answers at all reveals turned out to be circular nonsense. “Hey this person did this because another person told him too? Why? No reason, but it’s cool right?”
All the anticipation I had after the end of season 4 has been deflated like Henry Gale’s balloon. ”

Dude, Lost hater on a fanboy website? Get a life man…
Dusché, Lost fanboy on a hater website? Get a life man..
Did I say I was a fanboy, smartass?
No.
Did I say I was a hater fuckface?
No.
Ohhhh, so you don’t hate Lost. Yeah, makes sense. Totally.
I ‘ve already said that I don’t hate lost , I think it sucks. I feel pity for it.
Right, back to my vomment.
Dude, someone who thinks Lost sucks hangs around on a fanboy website? Get a life man…
I can’t see why it is a problem for you.Lost is my hobby , I like reading the fanboys as they are funny as hell. Just like Lost.
Sorry dude but “vomment” now thats some funny shit… Then again.
comment + vomit = vomment
I get it!!!
Not a fanboy, so what are you?
Yeah he is not a fanboy, not a hater.He is kinda mysterious.
He belongs on the show…
I think Lost sucks too. Bu at least I’m not hanging on Google searching for fan-reactions and interviews with some Douches of Lost on the Internet…
Hey pukilié, you just forgot to change your nickname lol!
I don’t search for anything. I just still visit lostpedia, darkufo, lost-forum. U know, old habits..
And it is worth reading them, fanboys are awesome!
That was my comment, not pukelilé’s.

Do you notice something?
Yeah, just like the submarine, the 404 error for this link was computer generated.

They were stealing the babies so that they could celebrate today.

LMAO, this site has really got to be the pinnacle of internet dorks who REALLY have nothing better to do with their time. You all choose to instead of finding something on television you appreciate and talking about it, you find something appreciated by many others but you don’t care for, so you spend all your time analyzing the episodes and determining how much they suck. Haha well the jokes really on all of you because even if someone ever did CARE what your opinions were, they’d find there is little to no difference between anyone who posts here. Everyone hates Lost, yet they can’t seem to stop themselves from caring enough to STILL talk about it. Now, isn’t that really the ultimate irony?
But honestly, what a pathetic existance it must be to force yourself into watching something every week which you can’t stand, just to tell the rest of your haters how much you can’t stand it. Do you really think someone out there cares? Really? I dropped by because I am a proud fan of Lost and I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. But this site…is truly embarassing to culture in general. I was told this was just a petty site of gripers from my buddy (also a lost fan) and wanting to draw my own opinion, I went and checked it out. Sorry to say, but my friend was absolutely right. If there was an actual constructive arguement going on things would be different…but this isn’t it. This is a bunch of whiners feeling shameless enough to pretend as if this television show is FORCED upon their viewing.
That’s literally like if I sat through Desperate Housewives every week, then later complained about how gay the show was because it was all about woman issues. No, that doesn’t make the show gay..it would make ME gay for watching it every week. The same idea applies here. Lost isn’t lame because you think it is..rather YOU’RE lame because you waste your time watching something you think is lame.
Reading your blog made me realize things aren’t all that bad for LOST fans… because “Heroes” suck even more.
Oh well, can’t wait for this week’s “24″!
Dan, I’m so thankful that a cool dude like you finally showed up on this website and started handing out life lessons. I can’t believe you were able to fit that three paragraph essay into your busy and obviously meaningful life. However, I’m really glad you did. Without it how would we ever know that we’re all “gay?”
Just for the sake of argument I’d like to post a direct quote from you:
“YOU’RE lame because you waste your time watching something you think is lame.”
I think someone may need to take a long look in the mirror.
Just thought I would mention that, despite your thick overuse of sarcasm, your post still isn’t very funny.
And despite your silly name change you’re still a complete douche bag. If you’re going to criticize my humor the least you can do is try to one up me nerd. Not simply say, “your post still isn’t very funny.” Bring something to the table or go back to rubbing your Mom’s feet.
I imagine you’re the guy that shows up to a party and complains about the lack of girls there yet not once in your life have you ever brought a group of girls with you to a party. Does that sound about right?
Furthermore, I was never going for VERY funny – just regular funny.
“I imagine you’re the guy that shows up to a party and complains about the lack of girls there yet not once in your life have you ever brought a group of girls with you to a party. Does that sound about right?”
Uh, no. It doesn’t. Really bizarre reply. Is that supposed to hurt my feelings? That’s almost as bad as your “rubbing your Mom’s feet” line. Buy a clue, hoser.
And you weren’t able to achieve regular funny, either. A blank post could one-up you.
Jesus bro, when you try to tell someone that they are not funny the least you can do is actually be funny yourself. I can promise you that I will not lose a minute of sleep knowing that some internet dork doesn’t find my posts interesting.
You mine as well call me “gay” or tell me that you’re gonna beat my ass because that’s what dimwits do – such as yourself.
“A blank post could one-up you”
Really?!? You actually sat down, wrote, and decided that was worth using?
You’re pathetic.
Okay, back it up a second. The dude who said “rub your mom’s feet” is saying that people who use such poetic disses as “you’re gay” are dimwits?
I’m not sure I’m following your train-wreck logic. Sorry if I struck a nerve with my mockery of your failed attempt at sarcasm. You might want to wait until you’ve stopped crying before you post a reply.
Haha I said rubbing your mom’s feet because it is not as general as your gay. Just like a I know that you’re a virgin – which again is a specific criticism.
Last, let me know how all of your cyber buddies react in the chat room tonight when you tell them that you, “dissed someone on the Lost sucks website.” I’m sure everyone will be going nuts at being able to be part of the triumph of your life. Congratulations bro.
Take the gloves off, pussy. Calling me a virgin isn’t exactly a cutting remark. At least I’m criticizing your logic and your poor rhetorical abilities. You’re trying to hurt my feelings by saying that I’ve never, uh, had sex. Good one, dickhead.
I have no comment on your second paragraph, which is pretty generic. All that’s missing is the overuse of the word “fanboy.” Maybe you could bust that one out in your next response!
Ladies and Gentlemen that concludes the lesson for the day. Allow me to explain:
In the spirit of JJ Abrams I established an argument early on with clear rules on what I thought was appropriate and what I did not. However, later on in this conversation I completely ignored those very rules I spent time establishing by calling this dimwit “a virgin, pathetic, etc.” Basically going back on everything I said. If you scroll up you can see how enraged and confused my opponent became. Thus, enabling this idiot to finally see why we hate Lost so much on this website using a real life example.
I’ll be honest, I thought he was gonna catch on earlier but I guess I shouldn’t have given him so much undeserved credit. Anti-Riley, I’d just like to extend a major thank you for becoming part of my demonstration even though you were too dumb to realize what was going on. Until next time take care of yourselves and each other.
You are putting way too much effort into this. Give up. No one cares. Sit down, dry your eyes, and come to grips with the fact that you have been utterly trounced.
Sorry bro you’ve been played like a fiddle. Luckily, you have used about ten different names so you can continue to lurk around this website without everyone knowing how badly you’ve been owned. For your next post may I recommend the name “Riley’s Bitch?”
As you are a “proud LOST fan” we have to exercise leniency due to your therefor normal disability to differentiate.
So here AGAIN once more, this time in a child-friendly way:
1. It’s not about LOST being “gay” or not, it’s about LOST being bad or not according to standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama. Even if a show is “gay” the question whether it’s god or bad according to standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama is still to be answered as it is completely independent of its status “being gay”.
2. Just because a show is objectively bad according to standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama, this is no obstacle for you to just like it anyway, although you actually know its bad (”Sorry folks, can’t help it
”). So no need for you to deny the hard evidence for LOST’s failure as a suspenseful AND logically consistent drama show.
3. As a maybe for you more convenient alternative you also could state that the standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama must not be applied to LOST as admittedly LOST isn’t suspenseful AND logically consistent drama anymore but is more like kids’ TV. And then chances are good that we will admit that according to standards for kids’ TV LOST is quite acceptably written and really enjoyable
4. The real ultimate irony is that a “proud LOST fan” (inspite of atleast season 5) arrogates the ability to judge the motivations and the life-quality of (more or less
) sane people, who try to oppose a that offensive public assault on human intellect (LOST) in a way that is at the same time pleasant for them. Everyone wins except for people who despise intelligence that much that they are not able to grab the chance to overcome their stubborn ego that points 2 and 3 provide.
Wooo, I almost overlooked this piece of rhetorical art:
“If there was an actual constructive arguement going on things would be different”
1. The sad thing about LOST is that there’s no need for a constructive ARGUMENT anymore as apparently everyone of the LOST-critics (mostly former LOST-fans!) on this side agrees by now that LOST does nothing but suck nowadays according to standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama. It’s not our fault that this show doesn’t suck partially but does suck entirely (compared to what it was / appeared to be in the beginning).
2. Says the one who states “But this site…is truly embarassing to culture in general” without any argument to support this ridiculously superficial “hypothesis”. Of course we also call LOST just – you could say comparably superficial – “sucking”, but atleast we’re giving examples for LOST not complying with those standards for suspenseful AND logically consistent drama anymore ad nauseam.
Dear Dan,
I was once a proud fan, too. Now I’m an ashamed fan. I feel that the best show on TV has been ruined, but continue to watch in the hopes that there’s still some good left, and it can be saved(much like Luke’s belief in Vader, eh Hurley?) Coming here is like therapy to me. I keep my comments about the show, rather than insulting others.
I noticed that your comment was nothing to do with the show. Please make a “constructive” comment. I’ll give you a topic: How proud were you of the episode about the importace of dead Locke wearing dead Christian’s shoes?
Yes I ashamed too that I was once a fan.
looks like another fanboy who can’t take people pointing out obvious flaws with his favorite show
imagine how proud he was when he wrote that comment! Ha!
Did he just say he was gay and warched desperate housewives?
I can’t speak for the others but I watch because I think the show is so bad it’s funny. So no I don’t force myself to watch it. I watch it fully expect to laugh my fucking ass off at how stupid the show is. The show is rather entertaining in that regard.
Quite a long post for somebody who has something better to do with their time.
Ok . I admit that this week’s sub scene inspired me to watch Exodust pt1. from season 1.
I just can’t believe what I saw. Interesting characters, deep emotions, exciting story, great music, some pretty good acting , decent dialogues, a high quality show. At that time it seemed that this show was about something , it had a message..
Look at it now! Pure garbage.
why the fuck are you comparing it for fuck fucking mother fucking fuck sake?
The sub scene wasnt meant to be like the raft scene. Yes the cgi was a bit cheesy, get over it, it was 10 seconds long.
May I quote the perfect answer that was given to you last time when you asked the SAME question:
“Comment by dontaskmethat
2009-05-08 00:50:50
because it was pretty clear they were going for a similar effect – emotional possible goodbye from the island at the end of a season – complete with hokey “i love you” bullshit between “jim” and botox and cheesy music as the red october sailed off into the sunset.
there have been a bunch of scenes like this during the last few seasons – deaths, goodbyes, tearful speeches – where they try to copy what worked in the first season except it doesnt work because (apart from the worse acting, dialogue and cgi) its missing all the character development, drama, suspense and interesting plot development of the first season which led up to those scenes.”
Shame on you that you didn’t learn from that valuable lesson the first time! Impress us and do it now.
“Because it was pretty clear they were going for a similar effect”
No, no they was not
And you know that for sure because it’s of course complete nonesense to classify the sub scene as “emotional possible goodbye from the island at the end of a season”, right?
Sorry, but it is undoubtfully pretty clear they were going for it (meaning: not 100% certainty but the chances are fuckin good) judged by common sense. But with your only reply to be “No, no they was not” arguing with you about this is like talking about astronomy with someone who persists on the sun orbiting earth.
Why does Sawyer say “good riddance” as though he hated being on the island from the start? He could’ve left along with Faraday right after they knew they were stuck in the 70s.
ANGER ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Season six will feel a lot like season one,” says Lindelof. “The focus comes back to the characters with whom we began. We’ve been winnowing away everyone else who came along. The Tailies are gone, only Miles [Ken Leung] is left of the Freighter Folk and only Juliet [Elizabeth Mitchell] is left of The Others. We’re getting down to the end now.” Demon Lindelhoff.
Aha, this stupid clown realized that the only way to get viewers back is to say that they return to the old format of Lost. Sorry Demon, it is too late and you are a fuking liar anyway.
Where in the world do you get all this shit from, get off the fucking internet.
Do you want to suck my cock brotha?
Of course the content of Lindelof’s quote is bullshit, that’s why LOST sucks. The focus can’t come back to the CHARACTERS as there are none anymore. They are all just toons.
Yeah, it will be hard to focus on characters when every single one of them has been destroyed.
More anger issues!!! Do you have daddy issues too?
“The Tailies are gone”
What about BERNARD, you tool?!
He doesn’t matter
I wonder what kind of tool he thinks you are? Cresant wrench, perhaps vice grips!?!?!?
One can assume he was “tooling” Lindelof, I guess. Or do I see a misunderstanding where there is none
Yes, I was “tooling” Lindelof (my question was in response to the included quote from said tool).
Only Juliet from the Others? So Ben dies.
What a dicks. They toss away all the actors who are at least a bit talented to create room for more CRAP!
“Who cares?”
If you freeze-frame the scene where Locke is turning the donkey wheel you can see Kurt Cobains face on the rock wall.
his face or his brains?
eek
OK Here we go, I think the best way to figure out if LOST sucks or not is to try and explain it to someone who has never watched it. I tried to do this awhile back and before I knew it I was saying, “well it really kind of sucks come to think of it”…
Right! Ultimate Suck-test!
Get losts of rest tomorrow night folks. We all don’t want to fall asleep early Wednesday evening and miss the season finale EVENT.
Or LOTS of rest.
Won’t happen as we will certainly be awakened by the world-wide simultaneous fireworks organized by the united nations to celebrate this greatest happening since Apollo 11.
Haha, good one!
Right, its not just a show, but AN EVENT!
As I remember it to be I believe Desmond after turning the fail safe was next seen tripping through the jungle naked. I wonder what turning the key was
all about and how the hell did he wind up in the jungle without no clothes?
Sorry got cut off for some reason…
I notice that all the fanboys have cleared out. Must be Star Trek. The movie that doesn’t require a date…
I heard that it is pretty similar to Lost(time travel, destiny etc.) . I am not surprised as JJ. Asshole is a one trick man.
Not to give away too much about the movie but it’s about time travel, parallel universes and an alien doing an erase on our universe-prime.
Of course you won’t see any of that explored (on tv) in Lost. Lost is JJ’s orphan puppet show.
Master Splinter and the turtles are going to save the Losties, and then we’ll find out that Shredder was behind it all while trying to track down McFly and that pesky crazy eyed scientist guy. The Buttfuck Clown monster (Smokey) was born when Shredder farted into the ooz.
WOW!!!
A great comment froam a fanboy about how he rates each episode:
” I always give a 10. Watching the actual episode is a formality.
Some tens are better than others though”
Ha!
“Does anyone else think that all self-confessed, lost haters should be banned? Why are you here, except to add posts that rip apart the show and you can go all moany about how lost isn’t mainstream enough for you anymore? Well Boo hoo for you. ”
lol
Hey, thats exactly how I rate women!!!
Wha’t’s wrong with JJ? He only wrote the Pilot episode of Lost…. Of course that makes him responsible for two FUCKING CLOWNS running ost right now.
Yeah, people gotta stop pinning it all a
on J.J. Scapegoat…he hasn’t been involved since season 1. Finding a door buried in the ground was his idea, and that’s what drew me in initially. I also liked his idea of killing Jack in the first episode, they shoulda done that.
True. And the Pilot was FRICKIN’ AWESOME!
It’s Damon Lindelof and Carolton Cuse who are the turds. Yeah, the two asshats were already involved in the show during the first season, but after Abrams left, those two fuckers got free reign to let loose all of their inane ideas!
I’m a retard! LOOK AT ME, I’m retardous! Instead of having a real hobby I hang around on the Internet looking for Lost TWENTY FOUR HOURS A FRIGGIN’ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Thank you fanboy! You are justifying my hard work!:D
HOLY SHIT ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another priceless comment:
“Why the ratings dropped since season 2?
1. All the ratings of networks tv have been dropping for over 15 years and continue to do so.
2. Lost is a serialized show: it does not gain any new viewers
3. Viewers prefer to watch it on DVR/ on line / on DVD. When you take that into account, the real viewership of Lost is the same as it was in season 1.
There has been no drop in viewership. And concerning quality: there is an unanimous acknowledgment that the show is much better since season 4 than it was before. Don’t confuse your own private opinion with facts.”
Wow…
HOLY SHIT ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, umm, sorry i meant what a crock of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well at least the fanboys think they believe it…
“unanimous acknowledgment” that utter shit is awesome and pretty goodness is mediocre.
I really don’t want to watch this crap with my brother tonight. He is such a fanboy.
Guys , are you ready for the gamechanger season finalé tonite?
OMFG yes, I wouldn’t want to miss one second of this lame CGI, never solve any mystery, main charactor killing, jungle trekking for nothing, don’t ever ask me that again, it doesn’t matter, buttfuck clown smoke monster, gun cocking, lame assed written, hell I could go on forever show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS — I am twelve years old
OK, thats cool but I could only wish, cuz I am rather fat, pretty bald, unemployed, kinda stupid, lazy and almost fifty. That is a few things I am so thanks……
Is your cock small?
that too…
I feel for you brotha
YEAH THANKS!!!
This episode wasn’t the worst one, but I seriously hate Lost, and I want to stop watching it, but every week I hope for answers so I can solve the puzzle and get that shit show out of my life. There are so many holes in the story and their time travel experience, that it seems that a 10-year old kid made it.
This shit is almost worse than Prison Break, they break out of one prison just to get in another one, that’s worse and more dangerous.
Yeah it is really hard to decide if PB or Lost is worse. But I’ll go with Lost.
BOOM
Of course Lost is worse. At least the writers of Prison Break aren’t like the pretentious writers of Lost who think they’re sooo brilliant and they’re writing some sort of epic masterpiece.
That’s right, PB never wanted to be a “smart” show like lost..
Lost is way, way, way better than Prison Break.
Because it is way more funny.

How time changes things. Lost, the 2005 Emmy winner for outstanding dramatic series, has been lost in time this season. And casual followers have been lost along the way — literally and figuratively.
Literally: The average weekly audience has flirted with the nine-million mark in recent weeks, as Lost reaches its two-hour season finale Wednesday. Last year at this time, that figure was closer to 12 million.
And figuratively: Casual viewers who tune in one week and skip the next have become hopelessly lost in a story that has vaulted back and forth in time like something William S. Burroughs penned in a fever dream. (The April 29 episode alone featured no fewer than four switches in time, from the late ’70s to the mid ’90s, then to 2004, then back to 1977, and finally ahead to 2008.)
And here’s the funny part. Lost’s true fans, who’ve pored over every small detail and obsessed over every major story twist since the series’ inception in 2004, don’t seem to mind. The message boards and online chat forums are as active as ever, as Lost draws down the curtain on its fifth season with a two-part, two-hour episode called “The Incident.”
ABC’s official episode synopsis is deliberately oblique. “Jack’s decision to put a plan in action in order to set things right on the island is met with strong resistance by those close to him, and Locke assigns Ben a difficult task.”
A cynic might suggest that Ben’s task is to explain Lost’s fifth season to viewers more inclined to watch undemanding forensic procedurals like, say, Criminal Minds or Bones, two shows that air in Lost’s time period on other channels. And then there’s American Idol’s results show — a whole different program, aimed at an entirely different audience.
Lost’s fans understand that the show’s makers have adopted a cheerful, almost wilful disregard for pandering to the demands of a mass TV audience afflicted with a short attention span.
This season, more than most, Lost has been the kind of TV drama that rewards the obsessive nitpicker with an eye for detail — the kind of consumer who chooses DVDs over network TV. As writer-producer Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have shown in their weekly audio podcasts — available for download free of charge from Apple Canada’s iTunes store — not a single moment goes by in Lost without some hidden meaning or calculated effect. Lost is the ultimate DVD Easter egg, a serial thriller that respects its loyal audience, while ignoring everyone else.
Next season will be Lost’s last: It will end in May 2010. Given the state of the economy, rising production costs and the new trend toward prime-time singing competitions, weight-loss contests and, starting in September, a five-night-a-week prime-time talk show hosted by Jay Leno, Lost may well be one of the last complex, expensive, intellectually challenging serialized dramas to play on broadcast TV.
Baffling or brilliant? The real answer is, probably both.
Lost’s fifth-season finale airs Wednesday, May 13, on A channel and ABC at 9 ET/PT. Note its expanded, two-hour running time.

FINALE SPOILER!
Anyone watch the Fringe finale? I’ve only seen a couple of episodes, so I don’t know what’s going on, but the lead lady went to see Spock in an alternate New York where the WTC towers are still standing.
Fuck man I just watched as I knew that JJ shithol can me make laugh..what a ridiculous cliffhanger! The whole episode was about creating a hole into an alternate world.. OK , Fringe is even worse than lost
BOOOOM
Sorry, LOST is ther only shitfest I watch. But I believe both of you… Fringe must suck a lot. I mean, it has an ”actor” from Dawson’s Creek, that’s bad enough.
I saw 4 episodes of that suckfest. It unbleiveable how untalented actors are on that show. The main character is the worst actress on this planet (Anna Torv). Steven Seagal is a brilliant actor compared to her.
Abaddon is on the show as well, but due to the poor script and writing he seems to be a very bad actor, though he proved otherwise on Wire and Oz.
So JJ. Ass Clown can make even good things bad. He is the most untalented person evah!
The worst part is that people just take for granted that a show/movie is going to be artistic due to the ”reputation” the media has given to X director, writer. In this case people are just brainwhased because they see ET or E!News and they believe the crap the reporters say about JJ Abrahams. Well, that’s their loss…
I kinda like the goofy mad scientist guy…the show has me slightly interested.
Hey, today it’s Season Finale night. As we know, season 5 has been one of the worst volumes in sci-fi TV ever (and I’m expecting idiotic cliffhangers, awaful one-liners, bad acting and soapy moments for tonight). However, for a lot of us, there was a time where LOST didn’t suck (or at least it was exciting in some level), so why don’t you mention what was your favorite season finale (I’m thinking seasons 1-3).
Season 4 finale was a nightmare with the whole Carnival-Wheel making the Island dissapear and soon-to-be resurrected John Locke in the coffin. That’s why I think it’s better to focus on the good times.
Mine was ”THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS” (it was very well directed, it had a Classic Oceanic 815ers vs. Other battle, Locke was thrown in a pit of corpses, and Charlie was retarded to enough to lock himself in a room to drown… I mean, that’s priceless). I guess what I enjoyed the most about this finale it was the fact that the story was still about survival and they stayed away from sci-fi (because the writers most definitely don’t know squad about it). The twist in that episode was a good one… to bad the outcome led to the shithole the show has sunk into.
What was your favorite finale? Did you hate all of them?
No, I have to admit that the first 3 season finales were amazing. The first was awesome with great music and deep emotions, with some good cliffs eg: “We ‘re gonna have to take the boy”
The second was pretty good . It was daring that it was a Desmond-centric, but back then the Brotha ruled.
But the third, that was the best episode I’ve ever seen. It was perfect. But the sad thing that it was the last good episode of Lost. Getting off the island was a great mistake..but it doesn’t matter as they planned time travel all along, at least that what’s they say now.
The 4th was an utter disaster.Island moving, bomb, helicopter…crapfest.
I suppose that the 5th will top last year’s suckfest. H-bomb? How stupid is that?
I know what you mean, the season 3 finale was the last episode I enjoyed from this show. Now it’s pure self-inflicted torture…
Yeah s4 was a torture, but then I realized that this show is a parody, a joke, so I can enjoy mit again.No way I give up..
I’ll be posting the update after I watch the show later tonight, so all you east coasters will have to chill until then. Any predictions?
I say Jack wakes up on the beach right after the plane crash and says “I just had a crazy dream”. Oh wait there’s still another season left.
I predict that your next blog entry is going to have seven misspellings, no point, and will suck even more than you think the finale did. Fuck you hard, Tyler.
I predict that you just made Tyler some money from advertisers by visiting and posting on this website. Way to stick it to him.
Jack’s head and body covered entirely in blood:
Huge: “Dude, what happened?”
Jack: “Nothing”
End of conversation
Also, I thought the point of them going back was to save everyone from before? Not go back, have Sayid shot because of it, and then save him – all of which could be avoided if you don’t come back at all.
OMG IT WASNT THAT BAD
SOME LOLS BUT GOOD
AND LIKE
WHY IS JACOB SO IMPORTANT ALL OF A SUDDEN
and what was the song in the car commercial with the black background and the light trails? I want to dl it
It was bad. Do you think you’ll remember the finale 8 months from now? Don’t you think they could have done something better?
Jacob was important enough to demonstrate how pathetic Ben is… for fuck’s sake, that had to be the MOST ANNOYING MONOLOGUE EVER ON TV!!!!
New line for the LOST hall of shame:
Whining like a violated prostitute (in this case Ben): -What about me?
LOL
I WAS THINKING OF YOU GUYS WHEN THEY WERE JUST STARING AT EACH OTHER
AND THEN FINALLY JACOB GOES
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Yeah, that was supposed to be comedy, right? It looked like one of those situations when the husband is caught cheating and the wife suffres an overdramatic emotional breakdown.
How did Lost (with three entertaining seasons in its first three years) sink so low to the place whre it is now????
What the hell was that we just watched?
The finale was the worst thing a finale can be… BORING!!!!! Of course, it had the same problems that seasons 4-5 had had (bad acting, horrible writing, bad effects) but it was a complete yawn.
What did they resolve? Nothing.
What was the relevance of Jacob being introduced? None, because apparently a guy who has lived hundreds of years cannot defend himself from the faggy attacks of a drama queen such as Ben.
Why do we have to care about this Locke impersonator?
I’m lazy so I won’t expand much. Later, I’ll just reply to the comments from the people on this site. Tomorrow I’ll rewatch ”Through the Looking Glass”, because I deserve to watch an entertaining season finale, and this one was anything but that.
However, I’m happy to see the dog again (the most talented cast member on this show). The dog should be the only one who should survives this horrid story.
I don’t think he was an impersonator… There was a “loophole” in time that made 2 Lockes.
Oh… sorry about that. During the last minutes i kind of stopped paying attention.
So, how does that shit work? Which one has to pay Ben alimoney? Bad Locke or Dead Locke?
Rose and Bernard’s return SUCKED.
What about the title? Did we get to watch the payoff of The Incident????
And that fade to white… What is this, ”Touched By An Angel”?
I’m kidding, I have seen good movies and shows that used that, but the fade to white as a narrative element had a purpose. Here, I’m guessing they used it to represent a silly KABOOOOM!
THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST PART OF THE EP
SERIOUSLY
IT WAS JUST LIKE WE IMAGINED IN THE COMMENTS
“WHERE ARE BERNARD AND ROSE? WANDERING IN THE FOREST SOMEWHERE FOR THREE YEARS?”
YUP
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
At least they didn’t give a shit about anything happening on the island.
Why do we? Oh yeah, we like to make fun of the fall of an overhyped TV show… wink, wink.
What the crap was with Bernard and Rose’s reaction when told of Jack’s plan to blow up the island, killing them all?
“Meh! The only thing that matters is we’re together!”
FUCKER. It doesn’t matter if you’re together when you’re dead!
What lies behind the shadow of the statue? Why did they have to say it in Spanish or whatever lang that was?
It was not Spanish. I’m a native Spanish speaker and they were not speaking Spanish.
But this is Spanish (in reference to the show):
Que pedazo de mierda más hediondo fue este final! Con todo el dinero que los productores ganan y esto es lo mejor que se les ocurrió? Debería darles verguenza que haya gente con talento que se muere de hambre y ellos logran sobrevivir produciendo un programa tan aburrido. Y qué Ben más pendejo, todo un maricón!!!
What was it then? Portuguese?
I’m guessing it was Latin.
So does anyone know what it means???
it was translated to “the one who will save us”
Ty so it’s prob just a fancy way of saying Jacob… which we already knew lived there:)
This years finale was much better than last years. We actually have some interesting mystery back in the show, but it was terrible how Jacob got killed. He was stabbed twice and then kicked into the fire by evil-Locke? WTF is that? And can you get a worse actor for such a BIG, “monumental” character (Jacob) than Lost did? Some 30-something, spiked-hair former frat-boy? I was expecting some older, gray, longer-haired “sage” ala Gandalf or something along the lines. And whats up with NOT naming his enemy who has now inherited Locke’s 2nd body? What are we supposed to call the guy who told Jacob he was going to kill him thru a “loophole” that he later did? Bill? Chuck? Roy? George? Piss-poor writing. When the writers first revealed Jacob at the beginning, by having Bill/Chuck/George/ say his name after the statement, and then Jacob responded, why didn’t he just add a name at the end?
How is the show supposed to be followed when we don’t even know the name of Jacob’s nemesis? Good writing clears things like this up.
