Let the faggatry begin…
Soooo clever…
No clever is YOU hitting up 20 LOST blogs tonight and tomorrow pretending like you have a shred of integrity…
Yeah Nico, I see where you be at…Practical poster other places, Superfag here…You’re just a follower bro…
There’s other Lost blogs?
LMAO, Don’t make me google your name…Oh and i’ll bypass the Steven Segal links…It’s whatever dude…Chillax with the rest of the minions before u blog it up allnight everywhere else…What a LOSTLOVER you are…
Who is Steven Segal? Isn’t he cop in New Orleans or something?
Funny thing, I googled Infected and it turns out he has AIDS and a bunch of other nasty diseases.
“OMG”
What an irony that the first comment on a Lost sucks site is by a person who still thinks Lost doesn’t suck..
That’s happened more than once.
Kinda weird that the first thing that some hardcore ‘Lost’ fans do after seeing an episode is immediately wag their ass over to this site to post a comment calling us names or trying to defend the show.
actually I can’t remember them honestly trying to defend the show atall. You know…’arguments’ and ‘discussion’ and all that logical deduction-stuff people outside the Island use on a daily basis.
Their ways of “defending” left are either
-You watch a show you don’t like, idiot
or
-Show me something better than LOST
(The “Wait how consistently and harmonically it will turn out in the end, you ignorant” has lost its validity even in their eyes thanks to season6)
I thought they should have just gone all the way and made Saywer’s partner Michael so they could have wacky adventures while breaking down/reenforcing social stereotypes.
Like 48 Hours, but shitty.
So exactly like 48 Hours
I guess I should have said “shittier”, it’s not one of my favorite movies either.
You know why this season sucks? Go back to season 1,2 or 3 and watch any episode. Then note how many mysteries in that episode are still left unanswered in every episode since. This series is going to go down like Alias season 4 and 5. A Giant Shit Sandwich.
this site should be called whyyousuck.com. who would ever make a huge site to shit on a show??!!! you all just wish u knew what was going on. of course u all r too retarded to know when an “answer” is staring at you right in the face! do they have to say it in plain english for u to understand it!!
Have you ever heard of irony b4?? i doubt it cuz that is what the alternate part is…. he’s a goddam cop cuz in reality b4 the crash he was A CON MAN!!!! duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you know in 20 when your kids asked if you ever watched lost, ur gonna say noo cuz i was too lazy to figure out the answers myself!! so next time u want to shit on a show actually thinkkkk about something for once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, more insanity from the insane Interwebzers. You people are lost idiots. [thumbs way down]
OK, on a scale from 1 to 10 how much will this episode suck? 1 being less 10 being total suckfest. I say 8 and 1/2 no less…..
Episode 8: “Retcon”
By 5.30 min I had felt like puking twice already
Absolutely horrible!
When does does final start?
Can’t they bring back the time hopping sequence from the last season or at least just part of The Island big enough to build a post office on.
When the Island was “phasing” around time by decades, it could’ve been used as a second chance to mail that missed credit card payment before the due date (albeit possibly 10 years before the due date) but one foolproof way of postmarking your procrastinated tax return before the 4/15 due date.
Even just a section of Island big enough for that annoying and unusable self service postal ATM machine would be a miracle for many and boost The Island visitor count to higher numbers than the Vatican !
Crapfest
Well if that ain’t a filler episode I don’t know what is. So was Charlotte just a wham bam thank you maam cameo? And Sawyer and Miles as cops had me confused. Thought I was watching Flashforward.
Truely aimlessly made up bullshit.
HAHA ya it’s as bad a Flashforward now…
LMAO@ Flash Forward.
You know how it is right? The writers has to have Sawyer shag up with every and any female character thats ever been on the show. It wouldn’t be a show if there wasn’t a swinging man whore for some sex appeal and add some spice to the show. My guess is that the look alike, Tina Fey wannabe (Zoey, I think is what they actually called her) will be the next one to sleep with Sawyer. Although there won’t be a lot of sleeping going on if ya catch my drift. ;-]
I don’t really have complaints about that. Like seeing Josh without his shirt
, hehehe 
.
That was painfully bad. Sawyer is such a shitty character played by a cheesy actor. Now they made him a cliched L.A. Cop with a EDGE! SO BAD.
You just know the writers were all high-fiving each other when someone came up with “well he’s always been known as a con-man, so in the alt-verse we’ll make him A COP!!!”
Then they all smoked some more weed and wrote this really shitty episode.
Weed makes you write better not worse…
The ending will be like a 40 year old Twilight zone here the camera pans back and the island is in a kids aquarium… so sad.
This WAS the best show on TV ever.
Or like the Twilight Zone episode where a bunch of different characters found themselves trapped in a big container they couldn’t get out of and there was a bunch of drama where they all were trying to figure out why they were there and how they could get out and the ending was they were all just dolls in a bin where little kids could pick one for Christmas.
That’s the one…
I initially liked the alt-reality flash idea, but now I think it’s just lazy writing. “Hey, let’s just completely change our character’s lives, that way we don’t have to worry about continuity at all!”
Wish they had just stuck to the ’same’ characters in the alt-flash….I say Sawyer and Kate hooking up in The Pen would’ve been a pretty satisfying conclusion to their love story.
Did ABC take over the show this season?
The Locke Monster says, “You all I have questions that I will be more than happy to answer.”
And before the questions and answers can begin, he says, “But first, we need to get moving.”
And off they go, on ANOTHER jungle trek.
I always thought it was funny to count the gun cocks, but I think counting the silly excuses in avoiding answers is much more amusing.
We also learned that The Locke Monster has mommy issues. Goddamn, does everyone on this show have issues with their parents, or what?
The writers must have all the problems.
…and was the homoerotic undertones in the alt-uni apparent to everyone else? Miles felt so betrayed by Sawyer’s little lies, he started snooping on his credit card bills. That’s what married people do.
Ya – they’re gay.
So “The Island” is really….Fire Island?
Ya Sawyer and Miles were getting pretty close, and Kate and Claire definitely had a moment (before claire tried to slit her throat…)
How/When/Why did Sawyer end up being a cop ??!!?
What is this, a press conference?
Do smoke monsters date tornadoes ? Or would a smoke monster think a tornado is beneath him?
Where do people who live in Hawaii go for vacation ?
They go to the “ISLAND”
“Goddamn, does everyone on this show have issues with their parents, or what?”
You know Joseph I think your comment says it all.
“Problems that I’m still trying to work my way through.”
Back in the ’90’s there was a fad in the psychiatry field know as repressed memory therapy. Basically middle aged people lives were in the dumps. They went to their shrink to find out why they were such losers and washups in the game of life. Surprise, surprise the quack shrink recovered memories of early parental sexual abuse. Were these actual memories or just suggestions created by the the shrink and patient during the therapy sessions? An epidemic of parental sexual abuse if you to believe these patients and their shrinks.
Rather than face the fact that their lives were messed up by their own doing, they chose to believe that it was all their parents fault. In the age of entitlement, it is easier to blame the parents for your flaws rather than face the fact that you are self-made loser on the skids.
Many families and lives were ruined by middle-aged children attacking and blaming their parents for every little setback in their lives. A real blackeye for the psychiatry “profession”.
Now on Lost we’ve been fed a steady line of newage yuppy bullshit about “the sins of the father”. Daddy Issues. Now the insult is Terry O delivering his “mommy issues” lines tonight. “My mother was crazy and that caused some… growing pains. Problems that I’m still trying to work my way through.”
WTF??? was that last line Terry O delivered?
Honest to god you fuckwad writers. Get over it. A man or a woman can transcend the dna donated by the parents. Why this penchant to attack the father or mother and the so called sins they’ve supposedly dealt us? Honor thy father and thy mother as the good book says.
I think I’ve seen enough of what the writers and producers of this show are about to recognize and totally disassociate myself from some deeply flawed philosophy, skewed perceptions and general lack of understanding of what makes the real world and people tick. The puke is thick in my throat.
Boycott Darlton and crew. They are snarky little shits making a living selling a retarded product. Philosophical posers and prostitutes.
Good post. I hate it that none of them take responsibility for their actions. Blame it on the dad and now mom..
Thanks. I had to get that rant off my chest.
I had a real urge to vomit during the episode when Locke Monster played the sympathy card along with the sappy violin music by blaming his crazy mother.
I think Nico Toscani in some other post here calls it metaphysical-bullshit that the writers are trying to force down our throats. Can’t argue with that.
If that’s what this show comes down to – some sin that some male or female ancestor – dealt us and that there’s some deep implication because of that… well count me out. Only some extremely vain narcissist would waste that much time contemplating their navel to that degree.
Locke is 50ish and 60ish. The smoke monster is apparently centuries or eons older. When does senior citizen Locke or grandpa smoke monster come out from hiding under the mommie’s apron? Honestly it’s not fun to watch another person’s trainwreck in progress. Locke should be on Jerry Springer for some proper ridicule.
Forcing the tv audience to analyze what makes a pyscho Locke Son of Sam tick is not fun any more.
I just can’t relate to the twisted meta-BS.
But then again I’m probably over analyzing and projecting too much onto the writers. The writers can’t seem to make an episode without resorting to whorish gimmicks, tired cliches or mindless plot and dialogue. Maybe I should relax and accept that the hope of them answering deep questions or delivering a “final answer” is well outside of their abilities?
I couldn’t agree with you more. The mommy and daddy issues are the result of their own guilt I’m sure. To try and play it out on a television series is just a bunch of bullshit. We have nothing to go on with the smoke monster but as far I rememberJohn Lockes mother wasn’t crazy. I seem to remember in one episode, not to long after John was born his mom was at the hospital talking to a nurse about adoption I think. She seemed like a very staunch woman who really didn’t have time for no kid. Didn’t appear crazy to me at all. I do think we should expect, even demand more out of this show because we know they have it in them. Or else the show would have never drawn us in, in the first place. Instead of all these mindless, mesmerized fanbois eating this shitfest up, they should be screaming for these writers and producers heads on silver plates!!!!! Well thats the way I see it anyways…..
Mrs. Hawking
Growing pains? You’re a smoke monster for pete’s sake
Didn’t the producers just recently admit that they don’t have enough time left to answer all the countless loose ends that have racked up through the seasons? Well, no shit! That’s what happens when you’ve mostly got filler episodes in between the pilot and season finale episodes, for SIX YEARS I might add!
But on to tonight’s bore-fest, I was pretty much cheering Claire on when she was that close to Killing Kate. Although I too was hoping for something resembling a top-busting catfight (something to break the predominantly boring theme of this final season so far), but not nearly on the same level as the imminent destruction of that annoying character.
I’d give this episode a perfect 10 on my suck-o-meter, but Rebecca Mader looked mighty fine with that evening dress on. I’ve downgraded it to 9.6
Ah yes, the writers broke the cardinal rule of tv. Never break up a good cat fight.
*uck them for this crapfest of a season. ALL THESE YEARS of great stuff and now this? They fill it full of crap and not give it what it deserves in the end?
‘filler episodes in between the pilot and season finale episodes, for SIX YEARS I might add! ‘
LOL
I loved when claire almost slit Kate’s throat…long time coming. Even better was when Locke picked up Claire from her belt and carried her horizontally. laughed my ass off
HOLY ASS-CRACKERS!!! HOW THE FUCK DID LIZ LEMON END UP ON THE ISLAND?
….and how the hell do so many different people come through The Island and related stories w/o sharing the same first name ?
There has never been two characters with the same first name in the entire shows history but more Sig Sauers than were probably ever manufactured are on this island.
Dharma must’ve built a SigSauer foundry underground and remains undiscovered.
You’d expect there would have been at least a few guys named John. It’s such a common name.
They could have just had different last names like in real life.
John Bigbooty, John YaYa, John Smallberries, John LittleJohn….
Big Boo-TAY. BOO-TAY.
Thank God they added some new characters! I was getting worried that they still didn’t have enough.
I kinda expected that as soon as they started mentioning the “other” island again..
What blows my mind is that Zoe didn’t die in the same episode she was introduced in. The writers have lost their way.
Don’t worry, they’ll all die very soon.
Talk about collecting characters, time travel and flash backs makes this show the best annuity an actor could have.
This show keeps characters like luggage, never throws em away even if slightly damaged or a torn handle.
yet it’s ironic how minor characters are thrown away constantly. Like on the odd occasion where a random black guy is on the bridge in Star Trek, they come across a strange alien species which instantly scrambles his brain.
Worst episode yet! Can you believe this is Damon-Carlton’s idea of entertainment? At least they stopped using the “time for questions is over” promo. As disgusted as I was seeing the 5-10min of telling us backstory that we as the audience already knew. I did love seeing Clare get bitch-slapped by Locke. as well as catatonic Sayid. But could have done with out the Kate-Clare “Tampax” moment. BTW anyone else get sucked into the realism of when Charlotte found the “Sawyer” folder? You know, when you have some awful murderous plan in your drawer. What do you do? Leave the room and let the woman you just met, and slept with find it. Like the absolute train-wreck it has become. I will watch until this flaming wreckage is hauled to the scrap heap in May! And now my “fix” with LOST will be reading the many hilarious posts here! So glad to see I’m not the only one whos been pushed out of enjoying this show for what it used to be.
I honestly prefer the catatonic Sayid to Jack trying to fix everyone’s problems. Add the Sawyer Top Secret file to the long list of unsubtle Cuse-Lindelof plot points.
Next week, we will learn that Jacob touched Eyeliner and gave him everlasting lashes – I mean life.
Worst season so far, by far.
no way-this is MUCH better than the A-Team season 4 and the Randomfest season 5.
Too much for words… WTF did they do to this show?
This is worse that Flashforward now. WHO TF CARES any more?
I gave the writers too much credit ALL THESE F’n YEARS…
i know.
What if the “numbers” some how were manipulated on the last episode to produce the devastating sum of disenchanted life minutes that were fucked out of you?
Would you have more respect for them then?
You wanna’ know how I found this site tonight? After watching this abysmal episode, out of rage and frustration I typed in, “Why Lost Sucks” into Google to see if anyone else shared my disdain. Then I oddly came across a site…in those exact words.
I can’t believe this shi* is getting the greenlight week after week.
*After screening for ABC*
ABC: “….That’s it?”
Devs: “Goosebumps? We know.”
ABC: “Wait, so he’s a cop now?”
Devs: “I know, I know. Crazy. You see–”
ABC: “No, I’m just making sure. I nodded off several times throughout.”
Devs: “….Well Locke has *mommy* issues! What’s that all about, eh!?”
ABC: “Something tells me you’re sincerely asking me for an answer….”
Devs: “….Listen to that something.”
Heh, that’s how most of us found this site.. in frustration at the overarching praise of what appeared to me to be increasingly diminishing returns, I googled Lost Sucks. And found this and the Bitterness Fiesta at TWOP. TWOP shut that very wonderful forum down when they were selling their site to the big networks (was it A&E?) and wanted to not offend big shows like Lost.
Your glimpse into the screening room had me LMAO!! Welcome to the bitterness faux fiesta, freind.
Ya what did the writers think when they previewed the episode?
Wow – this is great!???
they always do.
So Sawyer is a cop in the b-universe? Because the whole idea of cops and criminals being flip sides of the same coin is SO novel. WHAT A TWEEEST!
In what universe does the horse faced red head live? I guess it’s OK to rifle through pics and files in the underwear drawer of your one night stand. Then she has the audacity to be pissed he threw her out. Who writes this shit?
I also see I’m not alone in thinking that b-universe Miles is a scary, homo, stalker. Again, it’s clear they have completely given up on writing these characters as any semblance of believable human beings.
My best moment: Smoked Locke (mmm… I like Nova the best) telling Sawyer he IS indeed the horrifying smoke monster; and Sawyer letting the conversation end at that… THE FUCK???
I am rapidly getting to the point I reached 2 years ago when I just had to stop watching the show. Even the lively banter on this site couldn’t keep me watching something that was so very, very bad. I will do my best to ride out this shit-fest until the finale, but I make no promises.
Hahaha, no kidding.
“I’m Smokie.”
“…………I have a few que–”
“We need to keep moving.”
“Why did you kill Mr.Eko?”
“Why did you kill and slaughter the pilot?”
“Why are you allergic to bamboo-thicket?”
“Could you upload the party-photos you once were taking of hiding people to your facebook-account?”
…all missed chances for the writers to solve the biggest mystery-question we the audience really care about:
‘Do they have time right now?’
But still I believe in their artistic ability!
I have become so accustomed to this show that it never occurred to me that it’s weird not to ask a billion questions when someone admits to being a giant pillar of smoke.
Me: Who are you?
Car: I’m Optimus Prime
Me: You telling me you ran over those pedestrians?
Car: It’s kill or be killed
Me: Hey u wanna go on a ferry trip to that other island…
Who are you fucking kidding?? YOU’RE not gonna watch this show till the end? That’s fucking RICH, ya better delete your DVR timers and cancell your watching parties first…
Being way out west I am about 5 minutes from it startimg and reading what I have so far all I can think is OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
I watch every week, with the absurd hope that the writers will give me some reason to care about the characters. Some reason to be emotionally invested in the narrative. Some reason to watch, aside from answers to mysteries. it’s not going to happen.
i wasted a lot of my time on this show. What a way to treat an audience.
I watch because I have come to this site for so long now I am addicted to it. I also can’t stand the cast anymore, the writers have reduced them to blubbering idiots. There is totally meaningless narrative, and I know I can always laugh hard after an episode explained absolutely nothing about what the fans care about. Its what the characters care about thats nost important don’t you know. I guess I am stupid but I really don’t understand what than means!!!!!
Hi, I’m Infuckted. I live exclusively on Hot Pockets and have never seen a girl naked. I don’t even really like Lost that much, but making fun of strangers online makes me feel better about my teeny-tiny penis. I am so lonely I consider blowing my brains out daily. Please pay attention to me…
Sounds like a brilliantly worked out cliche-Character idea out of the depth of the writers’ infinite creativity. Will they have enough time left to show us how he borrowed a kleenex for wanking from every single main character some time earlier in their lives? I mean, it’s all CONNECTED!!!
Wow. this season sucks so much donkey it makes liberace look straight. I cannot believe they are taking what used to be one of the best shows around and running into the ground. I really gave them a chance this season, a few episodes to stretch their legs perhaps. looks like that ain’t happening. Something tells me the ending to the Sopranos is going to look genius compared to this crap. I think “The Wire” might be the only show that pulled off a great final season. We need Bunk and McNulty to investigate this plot murder.
Heads up, the devs apparently loved the Sopranos ending : /
I love how they like to toss in lines where the characters are like, “No! Enough! I demand some answers!” Then somehow–very simply–they’re tricked into keep going around in circles doing absolutely nothing.
Exactly like us the audience :-p.
I actually believe they’re purposely representing the audience that way. I believe they’ve been winging this for a long time now, and when fans started getting really critical, they began using audience’s complaints, and even their nicknames (like smoke monster) to help write the script. It hasn’t helped though. They still suck and I finally lost interest. I slept through last week’s episode and cooked dinner through last night’s. Those were the first times I ever missed an episode and didn’t care to catch up. I’m just done with this show now… but not this forum!!
I would love to know the average IQ of Lost’s still enthusiastic audience. Your brain has got to be fried to not pick up on all the tell tale signs of a terrible story.
This is an undebatable pile of noxious shit. The writers must have worn hazmat suits while preparing the script.
It’s just sad…If you don’t like LOST (Which we all know 90% of this blog LOVES IT) then go watch NCSISSVUTHEUNIT-NYCMIAMI and go watch these “GREAT CHARACTERS” that are so much better than LOST. Set your DVR for “Chuck” and “2 and a half Fags” if LOST characters aren’t deeper than the cookie cutter bullshit that resides in TVLand. And don’t even talk about cable shows, since they can be more edgier and take more chances (as I know most of you tools beat off hearing the word “shit” on CableTV). You people love LOST so much you can only tear it down..You completely ignore the context of everything else in your quest to be a follower of a follower of a follower…People who may have once had worthy disgruntled points now regress into 9th rate net-comedians…
Where are these shows on Network TV with these so called “Great Characters” that are just superior to Lost?? (Some Fag shouts: “Medium!!”) Where?? I’d like to watch them…Are do they all exists in your homo-erotic quest to defame a show deep down you all LOVE far more than the kids you diss?
This message paid for by The Coalition of Non-Fags & The Society of Mutherfuckers Who Write Their Own Damn Shows Then…
Not this season my friend. this show was up there as one of the best of all time till they dropped this abortion of a season on us. Your argument would have worked for any other season but this one. I am not a regular here, nor did I ever think that this show was bad until now. Now I am merely gonna hang around and see how this garbage ends.
Shows with great characters:
Sopranos
The Wire
Oz
Six Feet Under
Battlestar Galactica
Firefly
countless others
Shows/movies where complete retards defend them due to some pitiful, douchebag sense of loyalty:
Star Wars: Phantom Menace
Lost
I still have faith in you though.
Those are all effin cable shows except for the great Firefly that was unfortunately axed before it’s time…Cable shows can do what the fuck they want, shit on a lilly and have fans saying “Damn that’s better than regular TV”…LOST can’t but again I ask what Regular TV show is absolutely superior to the show most of the chimpz here throw shit at each week, yet LOVE how the shit smells…
And for the record Phatom Menance and Clone wars did suck, but I’m not piSSing on Lucas’ front yard since he did give me Empire Strikes Back et al…But don’t worry about having faith in me…I don’t have an agenda to tear down a show I secretly pine for every week…And would break a lie-detector machine if asked if I really hate it…The mofos here LOVELOST, you included…
So is it “Lost season 3.5 – 6 does suck, but I’m not pissing on the writers since they gave us Lost season 1″, what you are implying? In a way that’s really some admitting, Dude!
But you know, ‘Empire Strikes Back’ unlike Lost season1 atleast gave us some answers (’I'm your father, Luke’) and Luke’s jungle-…em swamp-treks were not pointless in retrospect.
I’d like to add these two BASIC CABLE tv shows:
Arrested Development
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Granted, these are sitcoms, but very well written. And at least Arrested Development had the sense to end the series when they knew they were going nowhere. THAT is smart writing. Continuing to produce shows even though it SUCKS just to make more money is pure crap. Artless.
And I totally agree with The Wire being awesome.
Lost was fascinating at first, but it’s not the slightest bit interesting now. I can’t fathom how people can still be all into it. I can’t even watch because the constant eye rolling it induces cause my head to ache.
I have no idea what the difference between “network”, “regular” or “cable” TV is, nor do I care.
Other drama shows that were pretty good this millennium were Prison Break (except for the final season), Jericho, Dexter.
Is this what Lost has resorted to now? Everyone has realized the story is shit so now it’s supposed to be that there is something great about the characters? What is so great about them anyway – all they do is act illogically, shoot blank stares at each other, and like to play with guns.
Is it just me or does infected seem like the kind of person who will some day snap and murder his whole family then turn the gun on himself?
The guy is an uptight little weirdo.
Yeah I’m gonna murder my family because you won’t admit to having a handwritten LOST THEORIES notebook, yeah…yeah…
Hi, I’m Infuckted. I live exclusively on Hot Pockets and have never seen a girl naked. I don’t even really like Lost that much, but making fun of strangers online makes me feel better about my teeny-tiny penis. I am so lonely I consider blowing my brains out daily. Please pay attention to me…
Hi I’m a Mocker who LOVESLOST and posts here each week in a misguided attempt to feel apart of a group eventhough I know i have no real talent or aptitude for ever putting together anything as ambitious as the show I claim to hate…I live in my Mee-Maw’s basement yet use a very distinct defense mechanism of calling a poster out on that first in some sort of ironic turnabout that makes me feel less shitty about the fact I have John Locke level tits that make me a bit of a shut-in…I eat half-the-calories Hot Pockets while I fawn over “Madmen”…
Meh…Who’s next??
umm yea…no one cared the 1st time you posted that…..crickets
I cared…
XOXO
Gossip Girl
Oh yes. Mad Men. Also a better written show. Thanks for answering your own question. keep ‘em coming!
Ok. Fine. Then just skip to the turning the gun on yourself part.
I can’t kill myself, jacob touched me bitch, turn to page 375 in your handwritten notebook…
SIghs, you’re not even worth trolling Plimp…It’s whatever man, you and most of the people here know how ghey they are…Knowing they pine over this shit each week just to betray themselves for a couple of “Follow the Leader” jokes…You people are gonna sooooo cry Walt’s Mom’s dying tears once this show ends and all you have left is SuperNanny returning to Tuesday Nights…I can’t wait for that day, the day you put your notebook down realize what you’ve LOST….
We’ve LOST a potentially groundbreaking and new hights for tv defining saga.
But the day we realized this was already years ago. So stop waiting for something that – just like profoundness in LOST – will never come.
Speak for yourself, I, like millions and millions of Americans still enjoy LOST, despite whatever it’s apparent flaws are…The shit that’s on network TV? Are you kidding me? LOST blows 90% of that shit outta the water (under the water)…
Here we have a sci-fi show for geeks that had to lie to the network just to get on TV, take on a writers strike, a complete rapage of it’s financial budget, and has been held hostage by it’s parent network ever since it got popularized… And call me a fucking apologist all you want since it’s just another word that exhibits my ability to see all sides…Despite this it still produces a product that intangibly and intrinsically is enjoyable (Even to those who shout to the high heavens they hate it- yeah right)…You can choose to like it for it’s characters or it’s story, or it’s visual template…It’s as eclectic as it is frustrating…
To think I would let some fat-headed babies sap away the intangible joy i get from varying aspects of the show is a joke…That’s the great thing about LOST you can love it for the same thing people hate about it, you can grab a hold of one theme you enjoy and let it chill and thrill you..The fact that most of the unevolved apes here think it’s impossible to enjoy LOST on one level and agree with certain gripes on another level shows their hand before the game is played…
But keep following the leader and soon you’ll get your Supernanny…
like a dozen times before:
Of course you are entitled to still like LOST, that’s taste. But we are not talking about taste here, we are talking about quality.
Just be honest enough to state “LOST is a pile of excrement, absolutely, but hey, I just can’t help it, I still can enjoy it.” Where is the problem with that?
My question is, WHY ARE YOU HERE??? So you love the show, go ahead we really don’t care. If our opinions bother you so much don’t come here. Its not about loving or hateing the show. We come here to make fun of it. NOW THATS FUN!!!!! There are a few here who truly enjoy watching the show and come here just to get a few laughs. You just come here to call us names. Well thats just silly, you don’t know us. You need to lighten up, take a deep breath and have a laugh or two.
Only brilliant minds could come up with random retarded things on an island that don’t connect whatsoever…
Hopefully there will be a cross-over episode with Gossip Girl. OMG! That’s so insane! COOOOOL
I think he must be one of the writers or someone else who has worked on the show.
What he is, is a sad little man.
I think you stabbed the Jacob right in the heart!!!!!
But just like with jacob, it will sadly have no bettering effect on him.
I think he missed the point of this website. Comparing crap to shittier crap does not make the former crap enjoyable. Which is why I don’t have TV, though I do have DVDs of The Wire which I find to be nothing like I’ve seen before. Lost is also nothing like I’ve ever seen before, though in a horrible horrible way.
He does have a point though…As also Nico Toscani said somewhere earlier, the show is losing its entertainment value as its not mockable anymore. I mean theres nothing left to make fun of. Gun cocking, silly excuses, ridiculous holes in the plot, innumerable red herrings, pointless scenes, unnatural characters…its all been covered numerous times.
I have not watched a network TV hour long drama other than Lost since I can’t remember when. There’s a handful of sitcoms I like (nothing on CBS, thank you), but that’s it. Network TV drama shows are shit, and have been for the last decade at least. Now there’s something we can agree on.
The fact is I CAN’T point out anything better than Lost on the major network front. Which is WHY it is so offensive to me that they ruined the one good show they had going. I guess I should be grateful I got two good years out of it, right? Frustration leads to seeking out like minded people, which leads to sites like this. It’s not exactly rocket science.
DUDE SAID LET IT CHILL AND THRILL YOU. NEATO.
What are you saying? Beat off when we hear the word shit?
God your fuckin weird.
Hey moron –
This season sucks in a such a bizarre way that the show has been ruined and can’t be repaired. We used to like it!
I must admit though–and maybe I will be crucified for saying it here–that the ending will most likely be ridiculous. I mean, when they do drop plot stuff, it almost is always extremely clever. So when the end DOES come (and for the love of God please come quickly…), it should be good.
Its cool that you feel that way. But I really think that anything they reveal (if they do reveal anything) will now just be lame, so I would rather they reveal nothing and just leave it up to my imagination. Just my opinion. What I am getting at is don’t count on anything to spectacular because I just can’t see that happening. Then again I could be wrong for I have been there before…..
“So when the end DOES come (and for the love of God please come quickly…), it should be good.”
I don’t think so. Somebody last week said it was going to be just like Chinese Democracy—years and years of buildup that can never be as good as what you thought it should be.
For the Lost finale to justify the years of shit they’ve thrown at us, they’d have to have the new Tina Fey character come over and blow me while I watch it.
Don’t keep your hopes “up” on that. Even if she is there, you might have considerable shrinkage just watching the damn show, hehehe
.
OH, good one you are so right!!!!!
Already in the first 5 minutes we had a gun pointed at someone.
Miles and Sawyer work together as cops. Once again I ask why do these characters need to be connected in the side story. And it just so happens that fire crotch happens to be Sawyer’s date. I knew it would be some old character they would squeeze in just to make fanboys and fangirls giggle.
Fire Crotch just so happens to look in the drawer where Sawyer keeps his secret pics and then decides to look through them.
Aaaand we have a whole team of other characters now that we will probably need to spend a few episodes on to get some background on.
And Sawyer said “La fleure” again!!! OMG!!!!!
“OH MY GOD”
I actually laughed at that. Yet another inconsequential thing, the fans will make a big hullabaloo about :-p.
Someone please buy Locke a sports bra. Him and Hurley can put all the other island ladies’ racks to shame.
No kidding. If I can see your nipples in a hot, humid jungle, you’re moobs are out of control.
your, not “you’re”. sorry!
“silly!”, not sorry!
I think I figured it out. It’s as though Locke’s actual testosterone levels are somehow dependent on the integrity of the script provided to him. Both Lockescript and Locketit, intertwined in some sort of weird flaccidity loop.
hmm, this could get interesting…
Hey everyone, I’ve been watching lost since the beginning and always told myself how great this show was. Deep down, however, probably starting somewhere around season five, I finally realized what a crap show it actually was. So one day; frusterated after watching another pointless stupid episode, I googled the words “why does Lost suck so bad” and low and behold, came upon this magical and fantastic site! Finally I thought “a place to voice my frustration” with other normal people to point out the inconsistencies that this god-forsaken show routinely does. So anywho, after enjoying and laughing my ass off from reading some fine posts for a couple of weeks, (Nico toscani, im a straight man, but gosh damnit you rock my world when it comes to your opinions about the crappiness of the show) I just want to jump on the “Lost sucks” bandwagon. So I’m half way through the episode and need to finish it so I can talk more crap about how crappy this show is.
P.S.
I’m no wife beater and I don’t condone hitting a woman, but how awesome was it when Locke gave Claire a nice little bitch slap to shut her crazy ass up. That might very well be my highlight of the nights episode!
*Spoiler Alert*
That is the best part of the episode. Maybe the season.
How is that a spoiler?
Actually the bitch slap scene is something we all can relate to. I mean, who here doesn’t want to do the exact same thing to the writers who wrecked this once great show?
Do you guys still think the ending will pay off?
Of course…the show will stop coming on. Doesn’t get any better than that.
hahaha…I’m in complete agreement
They will come up with something. Hell! The’ve had 3 years to plan the damn thing!
I don’t think they can redeem their past seasons with a finale, but yes, I CAN imagine it being a great episode. They could still blow my mind or at least make me go “that was pretty wild”.
A lot will depend on what happens in the upcoming episode (13 i think) Emerson has been quoted on, where he said “it happens in a place you’ve never seen on tv and with characters you’ve never seen”
That could be a real game changer if it really bears on the story; a place never seen on tv series, with no original cast members? Kinda suggests we’re going to see some behind-the-scenes-controlling-entity? It IS intriguing.
However, used to disappointment from the show, I know that it could also be 6 people who we’ve never met before and will have no bearing on outcome, and take place in a giant teakettle.
I hope it is some way to connect the ambiguities rather than simply make them moot.
Did not watch last night; no point. If they manage to make a decent episode, I’ll hear, and hulu it.
LOL at the teakettle
.
Having given up golfing and ping-pong, breaking mirrors seems to be the Losties’ new trendy hobby. maybe they’ll even quit trekking for it.
Tonight’s episode was great!
1) Imagine a world where it’s the norm for undercover cops to sleep with the suspect with backup waiting outside the door.
2) How about a round of applause for Sayid for not intervening when Claire tried to kill Kate.
3) Someone buy Smoke-Locke a drink for slapping the shit out of Claire.
4) I love 30 Rock and seeing Tina Fey in a dramatic role was great.
5) This episode was chocked full of answers:
a) We now know that the bear cages are still there on the other island.
b) We learned that rifles make a cocking sound when you take the strap off your shoulder and place the rifle in your hand.
c) We learned that the Ajira plane wasn’t damaged yet no one thought to just fly the hell away.
Great episode in my opinion. I can’t wait to learn that Richard is immortal next episode.
sayid doing nothing while claire had that knife to kate was the best. WHY CAN’T THEY KILL KATE? what will it take for something to actually start happening on this show?
They seriously need to start killing off some of the characters. I want to see Sayid nailed to a cross before the season’s over.
Nice review. Ya I don’t know too many cops that actually get to bang hot chicks during a sting. If that were the case we would have a lot more people signing up to be cops.
Claire was originally lured away by the smokie/locke/christian. Why didn’t the smokie allows her to bring Arron along? Instead, he needed to wash her memory (apparently she didn’t remembered she left Arron on the beach) and gave her something to hold on to?
The writers are just messing around…… xuck them
I thought she left him in the jungle…..
yeah….thanks for reminding me…..
And just how do any one them expect to fly a plane off of an ISLAND. You need, what, some pavement, a runway, to do that. They got sand. Trees. And shitty plots.
What’s even funnier is that though Sawyer can’t fly the plane, apparently he CAN pilot that submarine.
I think his plan is to hold up the steermen and tell em “git us da hell off this daym island”
So he’s assuming the sub pilots won’t be killed during the hijacking. He is also assuming that the sub pilots won’t be disciplined enough to let themselves be killed rather than let Sawyer hijack the sub. Sawyer is also assuming that Widmore won’t kill the pilots himself in order to prevent anybody unauthorized from leaving the island. You know what they say happens when one assumes things, right?
Thats exactly what hes assuming. In fact whats to then stop him from assuming that Widmore won’t have placed an explosive on the sub for just such an eventuality… These characters don’t think that deep. They just go with the flow, blundering about like teenagers and then act like they’re in-charge of things.
I personally hope they all die. The only positive thing the show can do now is if Locke deceives them all, kills them and causes 2012 or something. I’m really tired of putting any more thought into this show.
Jesus Christ you guys are sooooo desperate…
Nico Fuxmommi says:
“What’s even funnier is that though Sawyer can’t fly the plane, apparently he CAN pilot that submarine.”
So after you’re pathetic brain CAN’T even figure out that Sawyer would hijack the sub and force the actual DRIVER to DRIVE the sub, you start a whole shitty defense mechanism to blame him for assuming the steersman won’t steer or that Widmore has a back up plan for this…
The amount of straw reaching here is so pitiful I won’t even go further…I give you pathos…
BOOM
DOLTS
It is also stuck in the mud needs a new windsheild and fuel. Thats just the tip of the iceburg. Or maybe Smokie is gonna piggyback it like they do the space shuttles…..
Not to mention the fact that “something” needs to turn the plane around and back it up a few thousand feet.
Yeah if Smokie can throw around stuff and make stuff fall around (killing people), it should be able to fly the damn plane. How hard can that be?
They’ve got Saeed, don’t they. It will be revealed that Said was a member of Al-Kaida. He was trained to fly an airplane because he was chosen to hijack a flight on 9/11 and crash it into the statue of liberty, but he overslept.
I thought they should have just gone all the way and made Saywer’s partner Michael so they could have wacky adventures while breaking down/reenforcing social stereotypes…..
Yes, the Unusuals all over again!!!!!
i was waiting for michael to be the busboy in the restaurant
Just cuz he’s black?
yes.
Driving little old white women in their cars down to the Pigly Wigly?
widmore: “it’s sad what you don’t know”
me: yes. yes it is.
i continue to watch this idiocy until the end, but with complete detachment. i feel the need to remind you that carlton cuse was one of the great minds behind ‘walker, texas ranger’, and everything becomes painfully clear.
Once again, the writers slapping us in the face with some “meta” bullshit. What’s truly sad is we’ll NEVER know most of the answers that they keep dangling in front of us like a big juicy carrot.
Don’t forget Nash Bridges.
Somehow I have a sinking feeling that Cheech Marin will figure bigtime in the finale.
We got big pussy, little pussy, wet pussy, haaaaairy pussy, smelly pussy, tight pussy, black pussy, we got snappin pussy…
At that point, I hoped again. I hoped that Sawyer would ask one decent question and we’d all get one decent answer. Was let down again.
Only 8 more episodes, only 8 more episodes, I tell myself :-\.
Where’s all the food. What do they eat? Where are the bathrooms. When they answer that, then I will not fall asleep during the show. I think the earlier comment that it is a rip off of a twilight zone episode.
Personally, the very best scene of this season for me was a mere moment when Jack had a thought while sitting in the plane. At that very moment, I thought, hey, interesting, they are giving us something. But from then on it went down hill into the crapper.
This season will turn out to be like that guy and his Prius on a San Diego freeway – one big hoax.
But I will watch to the end since I have small kids who fall asleep by the time it comes on so it’s not like I could go out and drink – that’s my excuse, what’s yours?
My excuses are my finacee is a fan of the show (though she is pretty fed up this season), and I like funny yet critical analysis of TV shows. One day early into season 3 I Googled “Lost sucks”, and this is what I found. The fact that the folks here were for the most part former fans is what keeps me coming back.
I NEVER WAS A FAN OF THIS GAY ASS SHOW I KNEW IT WOULDN’T ANSWER SHIT THAT HOW ALL SHOWS THAT START LIKE THIS ARE. BUTTHEADS.
I don’t have any excuse of watching this sad show. I have a problem of finishing what I start, so I’m stuck with it until its done..
I meant that I finish everything that I start.
I think you said the same thing twice because thats what I got the first time…..
I thought it came across in the wrong context – I have a problem with finishing what I start meaning I never complete anything I start, heh
.
F-me
I’m just here to see what happens next… I already wasted 6 years of my life, what’s another couple months? (although the pain is excruciating…)
OK, before I say anything else, I gotta say, so Sawyer likes LITTLE OUTHOUSE OH SO DREARY!!!!! I mean come fucking on just how gawd damned lame can you possibly get. Jesus H, fucking Christ this show has turned into a show for twelve year old girls who like to touch themselves when no one is watching. What I would like to know is who the hell approves this shit before it even gets to filming the episode? The only half assed boom moment was when Claire had the knife almost to Kates throat. I was screaming “cut it off, cut that bitches head off, shrink it, and put it on the end of a stick goddammit!” My ole lady was laughing her ass off. Then when John Not John pulled her off I was screaming “NOOOO” and then he bitch slapped her and I was screaming “do it again dammit, one more time.” Then I just stewed for awhile thinking why in the hell didn’t he just let her slit that bitches throat. Whoa, guess I gotta few issues myself. After that the rest just sucked as usual and then the sappy ending with the two bitches almost lesboing out almost made me blow chunks. Oh yeah I really love this shit lemme tell ya!!!!!
How did Sawyer get a haircut in the jungle?
There’s a Dharma Cuttery hatch.
Sawyer and Miles have metrosexual hair grooming parties.
Jeez, now we find out the smoke monster has mommy issues as well? The writers can’t even let us have one semi-bad ass man on the island before they slice off his balls and make him a little bitch like the rest of them.
Seriously, a guy in his early late 50’s-early 60’s has “mommy issues”?
What do you expect from two obviously gay writers
“We’re not taking the plane, we’re taking the submarine.”
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Just the two of them are going to sail a submarine across the pacific ocean? The chances of them successfully flying a plane off the island, while astronomical, fucking pale in comparison to the chances of them sailing the submarine. They wouldn’t be able to start the engine.
“Dramatic” lines in lost are like madlibs at this point. Cue dramatic music, follow by a knowing stare, Boom Lost, and the content literally doesn’t matter at this point.
“We’re not taking the plane, cottage cheese is high in sodium.” Boom Lost.
Wasn’t there only one way off the island, like a specific heading or something? Without that, wouldn’t they just run right back into the island?
As for piloting the sub…well everyone knows that subs are easy to pilot. I’m sure it’s like the Enterprise. There are probably two consoles in the front of the sub that control the whole thing. Point a handgun at Wesley Crusher and boom, you’re outta there.
The idea of taking a plane or a sub with a Smoke Monster… I don’t know.
Oh, and Sawyer doesn’t care?
The burning question in my mind: Do undercover cops really wear badges on necklaces or was that just something that became cool after Denzel Washington did it in “Training Day”? And I really can’t keep the characters straight, but was that Tina Fey chick who duped Sawyer on the beach supposed to be the same gal he boned in the sleazy hotel room at the beginning of the episode? It was nice to be reminded of the polar bear cages about fifteen times, you know the ones in which Kate and Sawyer were imprisoned back when the show really started to suck — you remember, the cages that Kate easily escaped from by just climbing out the top? The Undertaker had a more difficult time getting out of the Elimination Chamber on big time wrestling. And I could have told Sawyer that showing up at some woman’s apartment without shaving, wearing dingy clothes, holding a six pack of beer (not to mention the fact that she knows he is a cop planning his own private revenge murder) probably wasn’t going to get him invited in — don’t you know she has a fake accent so she is “classy”?? Oh, and alterno Sawyer smashed a mirror just like Jack did in the lighthouse!!!!!! OMG!!!
Undercover cops wouldn’t wear badges on a necklace typically. They would more likely hang them off their belt on the rare occasions when they needed to make them clearly visible. The only time real plain clothes cops hang badges around their necks is when they are conducting raids or enforcing warrants. Just sayin…
By the way, I’m glad somebody else noticed Widmore’s lackey bore a striking resemblance to Tina Fey. Poor, poor Liz Lemon.
HOLY ASS-CRACKERS!!! HOW THE FUCK DID LIZ LEMON END UP ON THE ISLAND?
HOLY ASS-CRACKERS???
What is an ass-cracker, and just what is it that makes them so holy?????
Many many good comments posted thus far. I will keep mine short and simple by asking one question:
What the heck are all the characters waiting for? Why can’t the guys who want off the damn island just make that a priority instead of working up some elaborate scheme that has them trodding circles through the jungle killing everyone in the temple, etc… Example: Sawyer: “oh hey charles, do you think I could just hang out with you guys and ger a ride back home on da sub?”
To answer your question: they have 8 episodes to go until the finale. The writers have to fill the time somehow.
I forgot to mention that there was one HUGE mystery resolved in this episode — Alternative Sawyer became a cop because, as he told Charlotte over dinner and cocktails, he was inspired by Steve McQueen in “Bullit”! Wow, they introduce a puzzling question on the show and, in the very same episode, they answer it. The only disppointment was that we didn’t get to see Sawyer speeding around town in a classic Mustang, bottoming out on hills, but I guess there aren’t as many steep grades in faux Hawaii LA as there are in San Francisco, so that’s understandable.
Also, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Charlotte picking up the copy of “Watership Down” in Sawyer’s bedroom and shoving it right into the camera so we got a reallyyyyy good look at it and we couldn’t help but get all the rabbit references. I thought I was watching Count Floyd’s 3D Monster Theater on SCTV when John Candy took the yellow pages and repeatedly rocked it toward the screen with appropriate eerie, rhythmically timed music.
“when John Candy took the yellow pages and repeatedly rocked it toward the screen with appropriate eerie, rhythmically timed music.”
OMG, I actually remember that sketch.
Dr Tongue’s 3D House of Stewardesses
hXXp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87WgmGHz9U4
HAHA
“Also, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Charlotte picking up the copy of “Watership Down” in Sawyer’s bedroom and shoving it right into the camera so we got a reallyyyyy good look at it…”
I noticed that too. It was so blatantly obvious that the writers were sending a coded message: “o.k. teen gang, time to go to wikipedia, look this up, and start concocting theories about how this fits in.”
john candy was a little more subtle.
I think Bruno is ghost writing this show. It’s almost as good as The Mysterious Disappearance of Dr. Tongue.
Lost wouldn’t even pass muster on Chiller Theater. “Oboy, kids, that was pretty scary. eh? The way Kate furrows her brow, oooo.. and that Jack, he’s .. he,s ahh, what the hell is this crap?? Count Floyd apologizes, kids, I promise a realluy scary movie next week, let’s see, it’s, it’s.. Walker Texas Ranger!! Ohhh! Chuck Norris with a cowboy hat, brrrr! Awooooo hoo hoo hoo”
“Ok who chose this garbage? It was that Mrs Prickly wasn’t it….”
I just want to make note of a post of mine a couple of weeks back about Sawyers getting out of the cave by just showing up somewhere else in a future episode with no explanation. I am sure everyone else thought this too, but I just wanted to get my dig in…..
Google “lost: a teachable moment” for some nice memories
YOU BET that has been on my mind, and I referred to your observation at the fuselage, where I joined to enjoy the falling out.
Really, it is exactly the sort of simple detail that PROVES the show is garbage. Yet most fans and certainly the producers would respond, it’s not important that we know how he got out of the cave; he just DID.
There’s not another “thrilling adventure” show out there that plays that stupid. There are plot holes and cheats, but they don’t trample the laws of physics and logic like Lost does.
Since day one they have claimed this won’t be resolved as a dream or virtual reality or such, but it has to be something like that for all these “impossible” things to “not matter”.
My buddy kept asking, “where is Sawyer, where is Sawyer.” I told him it didn’t matter… and was right.
I disagree. He couldve just walked along the coast until he came upon a beach.
Well, thats possible but I believe my point was about the no explanation as with most other things on this show…..
seriously i can’t take it anymore, this show became so dull, pointless and predictable… answers???, what answers??? oh yeah circle yourself with that mysterious ash so the black smoke can’t attack you??ah hahahah ahahah this show is so boring and retarded now…
i am so pissed, i am personaly going to start shitting in tuperwares, and send it to the writers on a regular basis.
i encourage you all to do the same thing. (or weirder)
i’d totaly apreciate it.
thank you guys
seriously guys, lets all send them fucked up stuff via the mail…
they need to pay for wasting our time like that
Someone’s bound to murder them
I think I need to see a shrink.
I hate this show. And I hate myself for watching it. Seriously, I think when I watch this show it must have something to do with a deep self-loathing. I’m guessing most Lost viewers hate themselves too. Why else would anybody subject themselves to these very tired characters that ceased evolving or being interesting in any way long ago, and a “plot line” that is basically one gaping plot hole at this point?
Yet again tonight, I stopped watching this episode in disgust just a third of the way in. Why am I watching this crap? Please, somebody make it stop!
And yet, I know I will return tomorrow of the next day, and punish myself by watching the stinking remainder of this episode.
Perhaps when this season ends, I can finally be at rest.
Same here, my friend.
Maybe you have daddy issues and you have to punish yourself for not matching his expectations.
Haven’t watched the episode yet (in the UK so I have to wait until the next morning to downlo…legally purchase this episode) but, seeing how it’s a Sawyer episode, I’m willing to bet recon is the writers clever way of saying “Hey, we’re not complete fuck tards, we did a spin on the word re-con. Get it? Does anyone out there still believe in us?”
just sit right back and you’ll here a tale – a tale of a fateful trip, that started from a tropic port aboard a tiny ship…
hear a tail, suckfest.
lmao
I hate Skate. I really hate Julawyer and the shippers who love them.
“In the temple everyone is happy to see Sayid alive except Sawyer who lashes out by sarcastically saying “He’s an Iraqi torturer who shoots kids, he definitely deserves another go around.”. OK so lets get a reality check on Sawyers Saint Juliet shall we? She was complicit in the agreement with Michael to force Jack to do surgery on Ben, resulting in Michael killing Libby and Ana Lucia, she ordered Kate to tell Jack if he didn’t operate on Ben’s tumor, they would kill Sawyer. When Sawyer and Kate escaped from captivity in season 3 she ordered the others to capture them, and kill them if necessary. She also was part of the plan with Ben to pretend like the Others deserted her and infiltrate the Losties camp so they could get a list of women to kidnap. They even infected Claire with a disease so Juliet could “cure” her and win the trust of the Losties. She also betrayed Suns confidence and told Jin she cheated on him. And let’s not forget Juliet’s last boyfriend Goodwin, a cold blooded murderer. So with all due respect Sawyer, who by the way is also a cold blooded murderer and lifelong con artist himself, Fuck off.” -stolen that from a great article.
Google “lost: it’s autralian for stupid”
also Google “midseasonreplacements lost”
god dammit “lost it’s auStralian for stupid”
by the way, whatever happened to the fertility mystery that was central to the show at one point? still don’t have answers to that one.
It doesn’t matter right now because we don’t have time for that and never ask me that again!!!!!
…unless I’m on a press-conference!
I can answer that one for you. But first we have a few things we have to do.
Jungle trek anyone?????
WTF are you talking about?
Didn’t watch it. AGAIN! Ha ha
OK, were putting you in the fanboy corner for a time out little mister!!!!!
As soon as that out-of-control car rear-ended Sawyer’s car and the driver lammed it, I knew it was Kate. That stupid hoodie she was wearing to prolong the big reveal was a joke. Just like…
Boom
LOST
yes that one was just as stupid as it gets…..
As soon as that car rear ended Sawyer’s car I knew it was a woman.
You know this Lost show is just going to end as an intro for Flash Forward.
For the Lost series finale: the Island of Lost blows up which causes everyone in the b universe to black out. ABC then tells you to watch Flash Forward as sort of a Lost 2.0 type of show
This whole season with Lost I’ve been counting down to the end of this series since it has been so bad. After last night’s Lost I don’t even think I can tolerate another 8 episodes of this cr*p. Sad that they totally destroyed a good show.
Flash Forward is funny.
God this show is crap and yet I still watch.
I think there is only one reason any of us are still watching this show, and it is just one answer, one answer that keeps there hooks in us. They know it too, so they continue to come out with garbage time filling episodes until the very end to make the most money out of this mystery.
What is the island and why are the “survivors” of 815 so important?
If I got that answer, I would never watch again.
Most of us don’t expect any answers anymore. We just watch it because it is so hilariously supid. I also expect the series finale to be a gargantuan letdown.
MILES:
Do you want to “die alone”?
MILES turns and winks at the camera.
Miles isn’t going to die alone. We are all going to die watching this stupid show.
10/10 on the suck-o-meter.Definition of a filler episode.
I’m still waiting for the episode where the Harlem Globetrotters show up and help the gang solve a spooky mystery only to unmask the guy at the end and find out it was… Ol’ Mister Whipple!!!
I thought he was dead. Oh yeah what the hell was I thinking!!!!!
I love how sawyer wants to help get kate off the island. correct me if i’m wrong, but wasn’t kate already off the island in season 4? and wasn’t she doing fine, other than having to listen to depressed jack? i mean her mom did put in a good word for her in court, so all her charges got dropped.
now she’s back on the island, back being chased by cops again. why is she back on the island again? i forgot. but now sawyer wants to get her off the island again? holy fuck what was season 4 for then?
oops i meant jack put in a good word for her. my bad. i forgot.
I know! They just go around in circles. We need to get off this island. We need to get back to the island. We need to get off the island… Kill off one group of others, just to bring about another. I don’t even know how many other others there are at this point…
Jesus christ. Lazy ass writers.
What about Jack, first he was in charge, then he went nuts, then got back in charge, then tried to blow up the island, now they’re proppin him up to be in charge again
• Well, at least we now know that the Alt.2.2 timeline takes place in the mid-1980s since Sawyer & Miles are now Simon & Simon (except they solve less crime and bicker like little girls a lot more.)
• If you think about it, the fact that the shape-shifting, temple-destroying, mass-murdering smoke creature has mommy-issues is probably the most satisfying “reveal” in the history of the show. God, I hope he and Jack get a chance really soon to have a long, extended cry (with appropriately dramatic and intrusive background muzik) together really soon.
• When Sawyer needed the SWAT team to storm the motel after he had fucked the perp (like all good undercover cops do), he simply had to say LauFleuwar. I think this is VERY important, because if you re-arrange the letters, it spells U ARE AWFUL. From an acting standpoint, in an episode that centers around this douche, I think that is a great hidden message from the writers.
• If you didn’t spit out the drink you had, or end up in a writhing ball of uncontrolled hysterics at the end of this episode, then your sense of humor is seriously askew.
K: Who are we going to get to fly the plane?????????
S: We’re not taking the plane, Freckles. We’re taking the SUBMARINE!
Not only is it the worst supposedly serious line ever delivered, it takes the idiocy of this show to new depths. I love the idea that this moron thinks that planes are too tricky to operate, but he and Kate could probably cruise a sub to just about any point on the map. LauFleuwar! LauFleuwar! LauFleuwar!
As my friend put it “yes, sawyer. take the one that’s nuclear powered. that sounds safe.”
Heisenberg….that doesn’t make any sense. There were no asian dudes on Simon & Simon. I’m not sure about Hardcastle & McCormick, but I know they had that riced out car, so that’s a little closer. Rip Tide? Nope. Maybe Point Break… but is Keanu asian? At the least we know he was an F B I agent.
Mommy issues? Who doesn’t? Have you seen FLockes Mom? She’s a fit bird.
Well, I guess Jeff Fahey’s time on this show is about over. Them taking the submarina (that’s a really good sandwich place btw) seals his fate that he’s never going to get off the island. Sorry Jeff, we hardly knew ya.
But this is still the best show on television, regardless what anybody thinks. I mean the tv that doesn’t get cable or satellite, and they use the rabbit ears but have to hold it in one position for an hour when the sun has set and the wind blows gently from the foothills…. then they can get 1 show to finally appear on the screen.
If you have a tv, if no other shows come in, and if you are really really bored and have nothing else to do, maybe you can watch … LOST.
or just catch up on some sleep.
Are you comparing Lost to the A-Team? :O
Row row row your boat
Underneath the stream
Ha ha fooled ya
You are a submarine..
In the town named Othersville,
Lived a man who Ben sent to sea,
And he told Ben that he’d be back
in his Widmore submarine,
But first he bought a big old freighter,

List of lost seasons that are relevant:
Season 1 – losties crash, wander around, find mysterious hatch, but:
Season 2 – hatch blown up, so season 1 is irrelevant. meet the tailies, but:
Season 3 – tailies are dead, so season 2 is irrelevant. meet the others, but:
Season 4 – most others die, so season 3 is irrelevant. O6 get off island, but:
Season 5 – return to island, so season 4 is irrelevant, go back in time!, but:
Season 6 – back to original time, still on island, so season 5 is irrelevant.
If i made a 2- hour lost movie, i would add the pilot to the series finale, cut out the stares and be done.
I would love to see anyone try to argue that this isn’t 100% true. As you pointed out, though, the fact that Kate has gotten off the island, but returned, not only negates the purpose of several seasons, it makes her 1000 times more annoying, because now that Claire is intermittently crazy, Kate’s ONLY goal is to do something we already saw her do 3 years ago.
Kate to intermittently crazy Claire:
“you tried to slit my throat a few minutes ago. i’m holding a gun and you’re unarmed. do i shoot you? or do i hug you?”
Kate thinks to self: “which makes less sense?” hug time!
back on point:
Episode 1: losties start on beach and temple people introduced.
Episode 6: temple people killed and losties end up on beach.
First half of Season 6: IRRELEVANT!
So earlier, as a cop, Sawyer doesn’t do anything when he sees Kate in the airport elevator, with handcuffs on?
Yes, what gives there. all the cops I ever knew have been dickheaded cops on or off the clock. Just for the record I did say just the ones I have known.
Hear Hear!
Let’s take a look at last night’s flash-sideways and see how things work in the alt-universe.
Sawyer has sex with a suspect’s wife in a sleezy motel room while the entire department listens in. Upon hearing his “stop word” (the flower) the many hundreds of police officers that are assigned to this very important while collar criminal investigation and are not busy stopping real criminals storm the motel room and immediately arrest the suspect’s wife for…something.
After all this excitement, Sawyer has a list of everyone named Anthony Cooper in the United States (vital information gleaned from his lead in Australia). He calls a person HE INTENDS TO KILL from his POLICE DESK PHONE. If Sawyer is successful in killing Anthony Cooper, that’s a pretty easy case to solve. “Did you check his phone records? Sawyer called him five minutes before he was shot in the face with a police revolver. Did you check ballistics on Sawyer’s gun? Yes? It’s a match? Great.”
Miles sets Sawyer up on a date with the highly educated and fantastically gorgeous Charlotte, because apparently the poor thing has a really tough time attracting the attention of the opposite sex and she’s never heard of match.com so she requires the assistance of Miles’ relative. Shortly after their initial meeting and after some awkward conversation, Charlotte accompanies Sawyer, who is a complete stranger, to his apartment and proceeds to have sex with him until 3:00 am. Apparently Charlotte’s job as “Indiana Jones” has flexible work hours and she doesn’t need to be at work early the next day. Shortly after Charlotte rifles through a strange man’s underwear and finds a book, Sawyer angrily throws her out. She leaves, embarrassed.
After a relationship crisis between Miles and Sawyer, Sawyer returns home, heats up a Hungry Man Salisbury steak meal in the microwave (why do people on Lost only eat microwavable food?) and learns a life lesson watching Half Pint and Pa discuss the meaning of life on a rerun of Little House on the Prarie on the Lifetime Network. Apparently Sawyer was “Touched By An Angel” because he goes to the 7-11 and buys a sixer of Mickey’s Malt Liquor and a fake sunflower and goes to Charlotte’s place – a place he has never been and unless he was stalking Charlotte most likely wouldn’t know where she lives – where she promptly sends him packing. He then lays the fake sunflower on her doorstep as a creepy reminder that he is now officially stalking her.
Next, Miles and Sawyer make up in the front seat of Sawyer’s car, where Sawyer reveals to a fellow police officer that he intends to commit the crime of murder. Thankfully, before Miles can immediately exit the car and head straight for internal affairs, Kate coincidentally crashes her car into theirs.
Lesson learned? Michael Landon still touches all of our lives in an inspiring way.
yeah, the whole scene with Sawyer banging the wife with everybody outside was straight out of a bad tv show……………………..
I want to be a cop on that police force.
“I need to get my dick wet. Any embezzlement cases that we can investigate?”
I wouldn’t mind being suspect’s wife if the cops looks anything like Josh Holloway
.
Can we use a stylesheet to make Dee’s font pink. It momentarily freaks me out when I read such comments by posters I assume to be men.
How can you assume “Dee” is a man’s name? Its not only you men who can talk about the various women on the show :-p. I hope my assumption that you are a man is correct
.
Dee, I noticed you used cops in the plural. So does this mean if there was three or four of them that looked like Sawyer you would take them all on? Or is that to personal of a question?
NEVER ASK ME THAT AGAIN!
HAHAHA, perfect!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for that. Brilliantly done. I especially liked that I often felt you were being sarcastic, but what you said was so accurate, it is, in the end hard to tell.
To their credit this may be the only episode in LOST history where someone picks up a gun but doesn’t cock it (and the gun doesn’t auto cock)
I have a great idea. Instead of talking about how the show sucked in the past, let’s figure out how it will suck in the future?
It’s obvious Jack becomes the next Jacob… so just how is that going to happen? Will he pull a sword out of stone? Drink a magic potion? Inhale the smoke monster? Klaatu barada nikto? Does he have to eat some of the glowing rock in the core of the island? The possibilities are endless!
Just how bad of a scene will it be when Jack becomes all powerful?
He will eat some bat shit out of the cave him and Smokie was in…..
I meant to say Sawyer and Smokie was in!!!!!
That’s ultimitely what kills me about this show, I know Jack will be the next Jacob, and I want to kill someone because of it. It’s like watching a WWII movie when you’re rootin for Germany or Japan.
No it ain’t.
last scene of series:
Jack in White, Locke in Black, sitting on the beach, same conversation as season 5 finale.
MARK MY WORDS!
last scene of series:
Jack in White, Locke in Black, sitting on the beach, same conversation as season 5 finale.
MARK MY WORDS!
I agree with part of this assessment, however it will not be locke sitting there talking, but SAWYER. Jack and Sawyer are the rivals.
I agree with this assesment just for the simple fact John Not John will be able to leave or somehow get killed…..
Okay, I’ve finally cracked it for sure this time. I think.
Shao Kahn did it. With the assistance of the shapeshifting sorcerer Shang Tsung, who has been turning into other people and manipulating the Losties into doing all kinds of stupid crap for nothing, so that Shao Kahn can merge Outworld with The Island. Shang Tsung put Lui Kang into a spell to make him think he is some dude named Jin, because if Lui Kang dies the rules of Mortal Kombat will be broken and the portal will close forever.
The season 6 / series finale has been leaked! and it’s awesome!
youtube /watch?v=d4w78mMCtJ4
That would redeem the whole show for me. If in the last episode all the Losters, others, other others and accessory characters were in an opening in the jungle together and a c-130 dropped a fuel/air bomb on their heads and incinerated them all.
That would be sweet.
Only if said thermobaric weapon has a DHARMA logo on it.
Seriously, I have watched every single episode of every season, some multiple times. I used to love this show — I thought it was genius. Now, I don’t understand how any coherent person can call this show anything close to ‘genius’. They’ve sucked in and brainwashed so many of my friends that I have no other choice but to believe that this show has millions of people by the balls. There are so many blind followers of this garbage, even in the media! How does an episode like this one get good reviews? Who’s going to finally step up and write this show off as bullshit?
I’m switching to Dexter.
If dexter (the show) were written like lost, dexter (the character) would be seen only once every four or five episodes.
dexter at least had the guts to kill off one of their major characters after the 4th season. WHAT IS THE POINT OF KATE???
The point of Kate is the idiotic Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle that still some fans care about. I don’t get it. I hope in the finale Jack and Sawyer together kill Kate and live happily ever after
.
i always check out the ew board, and the collective brainpower on there couldn’t run wheel in a hamster cage. i’ve come to the conclusion that this show IS like religion. at some point either you clue into the fact that it’s all bullshit, or you just keep blindly believing because you can’t handle the truth.
That’s an A-grade analogy!!

Lost Writers Room – November, 2009
Anybody enjoy Mad Libs? OK, we need six categories from each of you.
1. A Lost Character
2. A Profession
3. A Taboo Sexual Situation
4. A Random Thing To Do
5. A Criminal Act
6. Another Lost Character
1. SAYID (character) is now a CONTRACTOR (profession) who dangerously COVETS HIS BROTHER’S WIFE (sexual taboo). After a series of things related to this, he WATCHES A DUDE EAT EGGS (random thing to do) before he COMMITS MURDER (criminal act) and then in a crazy twist, he finds JIN (other character.)
2. BEN LINUS (character) is now a HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER (profession) who learns about COED VOYEURISM (sexual taboo). After a series of things related to this, he MAKES A TV DINNER (random thing to do) before he THREATENS BLACKMAIL (criminal act), and then in a crazy twist, he saves ALEX (other character).
3. SAWYER (character) is now a COP (profession) who HAS SEX WITH A MARRIED WOMAN/CRIMINAL, and UNPROTECTED SEX WITH AN ARCHAELOGIST (twofer on the sex acts). After a series of things relating to this, he WATCHES HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN and BUYS A SIX PACK OF MICKEYS (twofer on random things) before he PLOTS MURDER (criminal act), and then is sideswiped by KATE (other character).
YAY!
oh my god. that is so accurate it’s sad. doesn’t apply so much to locke or kate, but close…
Shouldn’t that have beem Little House on the Prairie.
You wouldn’t happen to be Papa Thor by any chance would you?????
JIN is now a KIMCHI VENDOR
HE ASSISTS A PROSITITUTE who was beaten by a customer.
ACCIDENTALLY CUTS HIMSELF while clipping his nails
tracks down the john and BREAKS IN to his apartment
turns out the “john” is ETHAN ROM from the Others, but he is mysteriously already beaten unconscious.
BOOM
Lost
JOHN LOCKE a SUBSTITUTE TEACHER can’t get it up while in bed with Peg bundy, so he goes to the bathroom and tries JACKING OFF to no avail. He gets very frustrated, goes back into the bedroom and KILLS Peg. He then goes over to SAYID’s house drinks scotch and they both laugh about it…..
While Sawyer is watching Little House, Charlotte is watching Looking for Mr. Goodbar in her apartment. She gets all hot and excited watching Diane Keaton the school teacher have sex with strange guys she’s picked up at the bar. An idea forms in Charlotte’s head. She runs out to the nearest bar without bothering to watch how the Looking for Mr. Goodbar movie ends!!!!
1. Jack’s son (character) is now a pizza delivery boy (profession) who dangerously buggers his neighbors horse (sexual taboo). After a series of things related to this, he plays some xbox (random thing to do) before he texts on his cell phone while driving (criminal act) and then in a crazy twist, he finds Walt (other character) on the next window of Chat Roulette.
A visit to the Fuselage suggest this episode really went down bad. The Didn’t Love It thread is once again growing rapidly, and there are many new threads, like:
Who else is getting ready to walk away from the show after last night?
Just Kill Sun and Jin now
Did anyone else LOL at the ending?
Why would the smoke monster need recon ?
Since when is Widmore after Locke?
Seems like Recon brought out the worst…
joy fills my tiny little heart
~Try visiting the Facebook group, not a hint of criticism.
And how many of those posters have been yelled down, mocked or admonished by the power-hungry mini mods?
Widmore being after Locke Ness makes no sense. He was after Ben, who was a follower of Jacob, so if anything, he should be friends with him. But then again, his deeds and motivations have never been coherent or realistic. There was no point in killing everyone to get to Ben, since the survivors were AGAINST the Others in season 4.
Wouldn’t it have just been easier to slit her throat from behind rather than to pull her off a log, throw her down, tackle her, jump on her and put the knife to her throat, thus giving her a chance to fight back?
I mean I like chics straddling other chics but would rather see kate with an open throat.
Exactly. Or, why not just go for the old stab in the back? Claire just straight up plunged an axe into Scatman Cruther’s chest just a few episodes ago.
OH MAN, then we wouldn’t have had that glorious make up scene where all the fanbois cryed big crockagator tears!!!!!
Um, the Lost writers do know a large plane like that needs a long runway, right? And needs to be in good repair?
The stupidity of this show never ceases to amaze.
I suppose manning a submarine is the exact same as riding a bike, yah? Or does Sawyer have his sub license??
The answer….. that’s not important right now. Now follow me through the jungle.
“I suppose manning a submarine is the exact same as riding a bike, yah? ”
-Yes, just a hell of a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes
Ahhhh… love the Airplane tribute!! Ha ha! Good stuff.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it has tricycle pedals to power it along. I mean we did have a frozen donkey wheel make the island move.
Actually there is some logic in Sawyer picking the submarine. He ain’t no hillbilly momma’s fool. His last two times flying – he crashed and he had to jump out into the ocean.
not to mention the fact that if Sawyer doesn’t take the precise bearing away from the island, he’ll get a nosebleed and have to find his constant, which he’d better hope is an actor from a past season who actually agreed to a cameo (he’d better hope it’s not Shannon.)
I think Jin has had less screen time this season than Keamy had last season. Kate continues to get uglier every episode. In a world with time travel, immortal people, haunted lighthouses, is it really that much of a stretch to imagine the girls have make up on hand. Sawyer goes on an independent trek and shacks up with a Tina Fey with perpetually crooked glasses. Widmore plans for an all out offense on the island by taking a malnourished Tina Fey, and out of shape Patton Oswalt, and a gaggle of 40 something house husbands.
A word to the writers: You actually have a decent plot element with Sawyer conning everyone, sort of like The Long Con (remember when this show used to not suck?) Don’t fuck that up. Don’t turn him into a pussy next episode and have him cry. Don’t send Kate in there last minute to change her mind and convince Sayer to come back to the island, then get him to get off the island, repeat ad nauseum. I’m beggin you, don’t fuck this one up
I think it is to late.
“a gaggle of 40 something house husbands”
I think I saw some young’ins from Big Bang Theory and Superbad in Tina Fey’s jungle posse.
The main guy looked like he worked for Dunder Mifflin, and the guy setting up that pylon looked like a porn star from the 70’s
How can something have elements from the Big Bang Theory, Superbad and The US Office and still suck?!
That’s the mystery of Lost. Love to explain it but that’s not important right now…
Thanks.
Silly, ignorant, short sighted people. When Sawyer gave Kate the shiteating look and said they were taking the sub, he didn’t mean Whitmore’s submarine. Using the ovens from the galley on the plane, and Hurley’s know how, Sawyer is going to bake the worlds largest Subway sandwich. The sub will act as a raft and not only will it feed them for the trip, it will provide the group much needed “fun” baking it – more cooperative fun than playing Hurley’s zany golf. Locke blows up Whitmore’s submarine (again) and then realises the plane needs a runway twice as long as Hydra, so joins in with the baking. After a few honest attempts by Smokie to help, Sawyer has to tell him to stop because he keeps on coming up with Egyptian flatbread instead of Honey Oat, “That wierd Gypo bread, it just won’t float!”. Smokie slithers off into the jungle in a huff of smoke and starts crying. Kate follows him for another talk and Smokie opens up about his mum. “Sawyer’s right, I’ll never amount to anything, just like my crazy mum used to say.” Smokie then blurts between tears, “Its just so hard to have a governor for a mother, especially one living in Juneau.” Finally the sub is finished and they sail off at 22 degrees (or whatever) and hit the beach in Indonesia. Its only then the writers realise they didn’t write in parts for Jin and Sun, so conveniently they are left in charge of the island.
Now, who is the real HERO of the story…
BOOM!
Alternate ending: Hurley eats the sub. BOOM.
Thats it!!! I have no idea why we couldn’t have forseen this clear back in season one. Boy, I feel so stupid!!!!!
Hurley: “where did we get all this flour from”
Sawyer: “you won’t understand”
Hurley: “c’mon dude! What’s the flour for?”
Sawyer: “well Hugo, the flour is so I can roll you around in it until I find the wet spot”.
Hurley: “not cool dude”.
Sawyer: “squeal like a PIG!!!”
OH, NO!
Does this mean Burt Reynolds is coming?????
The final episode will reveal that the island is really ‘Fantasy Island’, and we will see tattoo running up the lighthouse yelling “Da Plane Da Plane”.
“La Fleur La Fleur”
Now thats some funny shit right there!!!!!

It is a really bad result on that site. Almost every episode is voted “awesome”.
OK people listen up. I think we have a major problem here! I don’t know for sure, but I think the other side has got one of ours because I can’t find him anywhere. If this be the case God be with him because the torture chambers these people use can be extremely brutal. They use intense measures that can make even the strongest of us break. What they do is lock you down in a chair, use a device that props your eyelids open, inject you with a bunch of speed and force you to watch seasons four, five and six of LOST over and over again. I can’t even imagine the pain and agony he must be going through. I pray that God keeps this man strong and enduring and most of all longsuffering. I can only hope by the love of all that is good, that he will be rescued, and brought back to us alive. My hrart goes out to him as we speak.
JELSON WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!
JEEELLLLLSSSOOOOOOONN
JEEEEEEELLLLLLLSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOONNNNN
“What they do is lock you down in a chair, use a device that props your eyelids open, inject you with a bunch of speed and force you to watch seasons four, five and six of LOST over and over again.”
Didn’t they do that to young Karl in season three?
Yes, seems to me they did do something like that to Alex’s boyfriend. As for Jelson he is a regular poster here and I haven’t seen him yet. I didn’t think of that episode untill you mentioned it. I was roughly referencing A Clockwork Orange. They do seem similar though. Only I am thinking that is them rotten fanbois that have him. They are trying to conform him to their way of thinking…..
I like how the producers tried to perpetuate some stereotypes of a police detective’s life.
Eating frozen dinner – check
Fridge with nothing but OJ and beer – check
An ancient TV in a bare-bones living room that signifies the person’s indifference towards visual entertainment stemming from his very busy line of work – check
An overbearing partner – check
A smartass attitude – check
And didn’t his Crown Vic get rear-ended (or side swiped) by an out of control car, but by the end of the chase scene it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line? The fuck?!

List of character who were non-existent for 5 seasons, but were deus ex machina-ed into season 6 that I’m supposed to care about now:
Man in Black
permission to steal your ‘deus ex machina-ed’ and claim I came up with it on my own
I’m sure anyone who truly thinks about this show has come up with it. But credit is all yours.
I love how fans say “You don’t like it because you don’t understand it. Lost is a thinking man’s show.”
Anyone I’ve ever talked to, who thinks about this show, thinks it’s ridiculous. But I guess they all just don’t understand.
But speaking of how shitty writing DEM is, at least Jacob was mentioned a few seasons earlier, although he’s tantamount to DEM, too, as far as I’m concerned.
“I love how fans say ‘You don’t like it because you don’t understand it. Lost is a thinking man’s show.’”
This is basically what Matthew Fox said during the huge ratings drop-off between Seasons 2 and 3 (I think that’s when he said it; timing may be off).
Wonder if he ever regrets the fact that this drove many people to consider him a first-class douchebag?
Was this before or after Navine Andrews said the writers were doing a lazy job
What’s DEM?
d. ex m.
but not as much fun as the stuff in robitussin
Ah right. Yes Jacob could just have been a very charismatic guru type figure, which would’ve been cool, but turned out to be a douchebag wizard.
I never cared about Jacob. He was built up for nearly 4 seasons only to be revealed to be a douchebag.
Among the “once cared about” list, I’d subtract only Ana Lucia.
That’s something i’ve never understood: Why does everybody who 100% rightly ‘hates’ LOST seems to have especially a problem with A.-L.?
As far as I can recall except for Sayid she was the only reasonable, smart thinking and acting person on the island. Imagine if Kate had had the responsibility for the tailies: The first thing she would have done is likely sleeping with Goodwin instead of disclose his true identity.
I don’t know why everybody else hates her, but I wanted her gone because she was ugly. That’s right, I’m a superficial fuck.
Its OK, I forgive you!!!!!
I stopped caring about Ben after season 2. Why did he let himself be tortured again?
It is so funny that these two assclowns can’”t even write a cliffnhanger anymore. “We are goning on the sub”. Boom. And this is supposed to be shocking. Just pathetic.
I really want them to play this con man angle and have Sawyer, you know, do what he does best. Cause massive confusion and have everyone kill everyone. Maybe convince Sayid that Hurley ate Nadia, and while he’s torturing Hurley, Sawyer can make his daring escape. *Sigh* Alas, that would assume that the writers are not legally retarded
You see, that’s just not believable because middle eastern food is pretty healthy, so if hurley ate things like nadia, he’d be thinner.
Falafels, hummus, sa’amon, man I miss that food. NOT! I don’t know about healthy so much as scarce, as in they have little to eat that is why they are so thin. Then again, I was only in Iraq, can’t speak for the rest of the middle east.
CPT Preevyet
It’s not Atkins healthy (lots of oil, fried rice, red meat…) but more natural (ie. lots of vegetables in there, high fibre diet, fruits, pistachios, walnuts…)
Thanks to a certain military invasion, and two wars, Iraq is probably the poorest cuntry in the Middle East right now (115th or 118th in the world). While the United Arab Emirates are the 8th richest cuntries in the world (GDP per capita wise) (The USA are 9th or 10th
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita
a post on the fusalage makes a very good point about the sloppy work of the writers.
ford is supposed to be a great cop- going to all ends to “bring down criminals”
yet back in LAX here he was in the elevator with a woman (kate) with handcuffs- yet did NOTHING. asked no questions, showed no interest.
what the…???
come on.
or how many alternate universes are these jokers now showing us???
Hahaha I had forgotten about that. Back then (8 episodes ago?), they hadn’t established that betaSawyer would be a cop rather than a conman.
I’d like to comment but there’s no time for that right now.
CPT Preevyet
Let’s run aimlessly through the jungle instead, waving our guns about wildly.
I’m with you guys, just let me grab my gun here. Auto cock is on. LETS DO THIS!!!!!
I gotcher back, folks *loads shotgun*. If you got any questions, there’ll be plenty of time to answer them…never.
Pullling charging handle as I answer question no one outside of Darlton wants to know. M4 at the ready, M9 holstered but red status.
CPT Preevyet having war flashbacks
Dammit soldier, we don’t have time for flashbacks right now! We got some serious gun cocking to do!!!!!
Dude what ever happened to Ben Linus’ childhood girl friend? I think her name was Annie. Did he ever shag her?
Oh I thought it was Charlotte, maybe I’m wrong
Either way it was great how they hinted to fanbois that island-related stuff would happen in the betaverse by introducing Charlotte, only to extroduce her at the end of the scene
I wouldn’t mind the flash sideways if they showed it going in when Sawyer nailed charlotte. As it stands, we learned nothing new from the flash sideways.
so we still have Sun and jin’s,Hurley,claire ’s flash – i dont know who the fuck you are-or whatever it is – coming in the way,
so we are talking about minimum 3 filler episodes coming
i just was too bored i wanted to know when lost’s misery will end and start to explain some fucken answers.
what a fucken tv series
Hey Smokie, I’m alright. they’re not gonna break me. oh no.
the problem is Lost turned from an MST3K-able show to a borefest. it’s not fun anymore.
So basically on Tuesday we had an episode of Hillbilly street blues, and the only police drama cliche not used was the black police chief yelling at them and taking their badges,
and I guess someone who is smart enough to be a detective, you know, someone who finds the truth by ASKING QUESTIONS, can’t ask things like:
why just not leave? why kill the temple people?
why can’t you leave? can’t you glide on water?
where will you leave to? the u.s.? osama’s cave? Pluto?
Do you want me to show my loyalty by sucking your cock (team America world police).
finally, they promised answers in previous promos and gave none, they said Ben would die and he didn’t, now they said Richard’s story is to be revealed – my prediction: No way.
the crumbs they’re gonna give us,will make a meal in a stalin-era gulag look like what Gabourey Sidibe eats in a year..
personally I think he’s the AVON lady sent to spread the wonders of eyeliners amongst the savages in the 1800’s. but in the year of our lord 18?? he met the heathen god Jacob and became his Avon bitch. Or not,
I dunno anymore.
Thats a very good analysis. I feel the same way. Glad to see your still in one piece.
The Fuselage deleted me again! LOL! What a bunch of touchy zeroes!
I was even posting in the “Didn’t Love It” section, and they STILL couldn’t take what I wrote.
Don’t dare criticize their most obvious genius, because they know they sit at the right hand of God.
Sam G. locked the thread down. The mods are kinda touchy about critical comments. She gave the last episode an 8 out of 10 so be careful.
The mods seem okay. I’ve seen em delete tons of positive arguments in the didn’t like it thread. I think they may have deleted off-topics posts because the thread was digressing too much.
Digressing? Gee whiz. That thread has a life expectancy of about 5 or 6 days and may get to 100 posts in total before everyone forgets about it.
It’s plain and simple censorship. An overly anal mod worrying about one tiny thread.
yeah, they’ve closed and deleted negative threads that I had been enjoying. Just like TWOP. I will say in their defense they probably don’t need a million losers like “infected” running all over their boards calling people fags for having an opinion.. i still think the vitriol of that branch of their fandom is projecting – angry at themselves more than at us.
The writers might actually write a decent episode if they saw what the real world thought of their work so far this season.
A constant love-in or the emperor has no clothes?
A little honesty wouldn’t hurt.
Funny, they have deleted more of my posts than they have let stay on the boards. Here not to long ago I posted a really shitty comment in the didn’t love it thread, knowing they would probably delete it but the funny thing was, for two days after that everytime I tried to go to the site my computer would give me the screen telling me to check my internet connection. I thought for sure that they got tired of my shit and give me the boot forever. I don’t no what the deal was there but after a couple days I was able to get back in, the post was gone though. So now my posts aren’t quite so condesending but still try to get a LOST sucks every chance I get. I personaly think it should be like this site. Where fanbois and haters alike can come and voice their opinion, say what they want and thats that. That won’t never happen though, so be it. But thats why this is not only the best but the greatest LOST site on the internet. Not just blowing smoke, THANKS TYLER!!!!!
Believe it or not I post on fuselage too.
Been a member there since the beginning. Lost started sucking about the 2nd season. And like most I did a google search looking for “lost sucks”.
But I tell you it’s getting harder and harder to make a positive post or a post that has any interest to me or for any of the regulars I chat back and forth with at the snoozalage.
I gave the the episode what it deserved. 1 out 10. Not afraid to say it as it is. Besides if they give you the option of choosing a number between 1 and 10 then don’t be hypocrites if someone chooses the 1. The real hyprocrites are the ones that give it a positive rating because they’re too afraid to stand up and be a square peg.
I could not agree more! I don’t, and wouldn’t go over there and post negatively about somebodys opinion by calling them names or saying their theory is stupid. Just like I wouldn’t do that to somebody here. I do post my opinion on the topic, but usually get no response. I have nothing to hide so I use the same name there that I do here. So I think alot of them know who I am and wont give me the time of day. That don’t bother me none. I like it here because I can be down right stupid with what I post. (thats most of the time) Over there it has taken a long time for me to post and have it stay up on the board, but I can’t help it, I really think LOST sucks, and thats all there is to it!!!!!
I think I’ve responded to your posts. My posts have recently been deleted from the Fuselage and I’m pretty fucking pissed about it. No notification, not a god damned word. I’m sick of that shit.
Hell, when I tried to stand up for myself in a thread other than Didn’t Love It, my post got deleted AND they locked the thread. Sheesh. All I said was that Darlton were not infallible. Give me a fucking break.
Yeah, I had a few deleted as well. They seem pretty anal. Any thread they deem slightly off topic gets deleted. Even if it’s a topic that came up in a post on topic.
I think it’s just the stupid fanboys and fangirls venturing into negative threads and reporting anything that mildly insults the show or anyone on it.
If i remember correctly the negative threads were numerous after last episode, and probably had the most posts.
The only thing I can think is that these pod mods are brainless or brain-washed, or else they are so afraid of losing there so called “status” there that they don’t dare buck the system. Anybody who has watched this show for any length of time damn sure knows that it just plain deteriorated into a little kiddie show. I doubt very seriously that any of these people who act all god like collect a paycheck for what they do. So what it boils down to is that these people have an inferiority complex. Their stature gives them such gratifacation that deleting someones well thought out post technically makes them bust a nut. Why else would anyone want to participate in such a way? I imagine they chat back and forth amongst themselves as to the posts they have got rid of. Furthering more the orgasmic response they have already received…..
You can always recognize a mod over at the the snoozalage or any other self important forum. Their signature line, avatar, handles, gamer codes and all the other needless optional doodads are activated. Lots of attention and detail to their onscreen presence. Then they’ll take up a computer screen’s worth of space to mumble a few syllables like “Whaz’up? I’m fine. Gotta go.”
Talk about a waste of internet bandwidth.
They’re like $2 hookers that hike their skirt up when you make the mistake of driving by.
Trento, you’ve nailed it. 99.99% of mods are total douchebags. When TWOP sold out to corporate interests, the mods completely cracked down on negative posts. On two successive weeks, I pointed out two ridiculous Lost plot-holes and got warnings for both of them. I didn’t use profanities; I didn’t just say “Lost sucks!;” I merely pointed out that the writing was so poor that it made the show laughable. The mods warned me anyway and didn’t want to discuss it, so I walked away. Now TWOP is mostly for the shiny happy people who want to talk about how great every show is. Meh.
Well, after they deleted a bunch of posts in Dr. Linus I wrote the following (with no response from Mods):
Really, you’re shocked we posted “hey, where are our posts”? Without notification by the mods of why our posts were deleted how would we have known this? I never received any notification as to why my posts were deleted. I thought they had disappeared into the ethernet of space.
In this thread I wrote about how crappy I thought the writing was. That would fall into the didn’t love it catagory, or am I mistaken. Perhaps we started talking about how the writing was terrible in not just this episode, but in many episodes.
This is not the only thread where my posts have been deleted. The other post was deleted when I tried to stick up for my own opinion that someone had quoted. It seems to me like the only opinion that is allowed is “I love Lost..etc.”
I have read in other threads the most insulting responses to people who do not agree that this is the best show ever. Where are the mods then? Why are people allowed to berate my opinion, but when I stand up for myself, my post is deleted? It really makes me feel unwelcome here.
I’m not a troll. I’m a grown married professional woman who is merely expressing an opinion and if your site condones other posters to attack me, then this is not the place for me and all these years I have been mistaken to think that I belonged.
I’m not really sure why you have so many exclaimation points, you realize that means you are yelling at me.
“If i remember correctly the negative threads were numerous after last episode, and probably had the most posts.”
I just checked, and the Hate It thread for this week had over 3 times the posts as the Loved It thread. And this is after Sam G deleted x-number of posts from Hate It. I’m guessing TPTB are really annoyed by this ratio.
It sure is awful funny that if someone makes a condescending thread, it is ok for posters to really give him the business. If it’s a goody two shoes thread and you go in there and give them the business, go back and look for it in a few minutes, it just magically disappears. I guess a wizard did it…..
Check out what I found on the Facebook group
“Will Jack finally change and get his mojo back and become the leader he needs to be? He needs to get back to being the Man! Smashing the lighthouse mirrors and looking out at the ocean must’ve did him some good in creating a turning point. He must be walking around with purpose. See how confident he was with Richard in the Black Rock with the dynamite? He knows he’s on the island for a reason now.”
-Andy Mauafua
LOL@ smash glass
Andy Mauafua= clown shoes.
The horror. This is a serious analysis?? It could easily be sarcasm from our beloved posters.
I guess we have to admit, D&C knows what half their audience wants.
This could totally be from someone here =P But this asshat is completely serious
[fanboy mode]OMG, Sawyer’s magic word is LaFleur, did you spot that? *Cum*[/fanboi mode]
“Did you see that? WATERSHIP DOWN! To Wikipedia, Lost Wunderfriends! Must search for parallels and clues! WEEEE ARE THE LOST WUNDERFRIENDS!”
OH BOY!!!!! Hey E.K.U.N.T. can I join your club!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, OH, PLEASE!!!!!
EKUNT lol.
You are such a Kant!
Thank you!!!!!
Lockie’s monologue makes no sense. “I killed them because I wanted to leave” wtf.
Lost ate my balls.
Vincent ate my balls and puked them up, then ate them again.
What a butthead.
“Kill or be killed. I don’t wanna be killed”, only 2 episodes after it was established that he cant be killed.
OMG there were books in that scene were Charlotte goes thru Sawyer’S stuff. THIS SHOW IS SO DEEP!
Kate cries. She’s such a great actess. I hope the next episode will be Kate-centric, followed by a Jack-centric one, followed by two Kate-ones in a row!
ROFLMAO! Other other others!
So Aaron is going to become the new Smokie. Or perhaps the old Smoke and the island is a closed timelike loop.
You know the rules.

oh damn i wish i was there. Could have brought up all the negatives about the show and then watch as their only reply would be, “yeah well go watch CSI… *crying*’
Yes, what a cop out. All because these retards have no idea how they come up with season one or two in the first place!!!!!
That or you could have kicked him in the nuts.
I noticed there is a discussion above about the Poo-selage forum and their crackdown on negative posts about the show.
I have to say that lost-forum is 100 times worse than that. If you were to ever post a negative thing on the show you would get flamed, warned and eventually banned. They round up all the negatives in one thread and don’t let you bring up other negatives anywhere else.
Meanwhile all the pimply faced teens there care about is who kate will choose in the end.
losttv-forum? Been there. Done that. Is it still around? The mod’s outnumbered the posters by 10 to 1. They seemed to just want do a circle-jerk there with each other and harass anyone who dared to post an idea.
This is on the gamespot forums, but I think it’s appropriate here
“When a person with some intelligence registers at the forums, they are moderated constantly to annoy them, until they leave. This ensures that the users that stay are 12-14 year old idiotic boys….When you post anything of any worth, you will be suspended for 7 days. If you have any tendency to not communicate like a robot, you will be suspended for 7 days. ”

Nice. By the way Assassin’s Creed 2 PC drm sucks.

OK, here we go with another rant from the stupid hillbilly, unemployed guy that has nothing better to do. You know the one who sits in the back stares out the window all the time. What I would like to know is how come old John Not John can’t shape shift into any other person anymore? Why not just become Smoke the buttfucked clown monster (thank you poster Ben) and just drift in the wind untill he gets over some land and then turn back into John Not John? How the hell come Illana knows everything now? If she is Jacob incarnate. Then why do we need candidates for his job? We all know its going to be Jack-ass. So why leed us on? If John Not John leaves the island will he lose all his special powers?
Stay tuned folks because these and many more other questions that will never be answered on the next…………………….BOOM…………….LOST…..SUCKFEST DELUXE…..
Anyone noticed that the whispers have been completely forgotten?
Oh hell yeah! That was an important plot point for a long time but now, nothing.
You are so right. They, among other things were one of the most compelling things about the show. You would have thought they would have drove it into the ground like they have everything else. Way back when if you heard them you knew something was coming. But now it seems no matter what they try and throw at us its just a bunch of confused, convoluted bullshit anyway…..
I believe the lame rationale that has been put forth is that the whispers were in fact the time-travelers on the island in Season 4 commenting on what they were seeing as the encountered various time periods on their time travels. Locke seeing himself near the heroin plane, for example. WHISPER WHISPER.
The show started losing me in mid season one but the writers were still pretty good at throwing out plot devices back then.
The whispers was one, along with “the sickness”, Rousseau’s traps and her ranting about the others and the “dark area”, of course, the numbers.
They created an atmosphere about the show that has long since disappeared.
“They created an atmosphere about the show that has long since disappeared.”
-Spot on
I don’t post at those fan sites, hell, I barely post here.
But have you considered being, what wikipedia calls, a ‘concern troll”? i.e. pretend to be one of them, but with “genuine concerns” about where the show is heading?
OR you can attack the “haters” by first posting their claims, and then “reply” to the “haters” with a ridiculous excuse?
So, for example, bring up the subject of “the haters” saying that Sawyer should have arrested Kate (so you actually bring up a negative comment) and then explain it away with an easy to dismiss excuse – “well, he returned from Australia and didn’t want to get caught” (of course he can just apprehend her and hand her over to an airport guard and tell him he can take credit for the arrest, or he can just go away).
You can also play a purist, i.e. be more catholic than the pope, and attack Lost for succumbing to the haters, or to the unwashed masses; if you do it right, you can get your criticism through.
or you can just avoid that zombieland all together.
I do a similar thing on this site. I love the show and think it’s great but I post comments to fool everyone into believing I think it sucks and I play along with the other haters here so I can gain their trust.
Difficult to do since I like the show so much.
My motive? Well, I’m planning a big reveal here on the night of the last episode where I “change my mind” about the show sucking and decide it was actually really brilliant and is the best show ever based on the season finale being so good and so revealing. Sleeper troll style.
Since I’ve established my street cred here by slagging on the show so hard, everyone will believe I’m sincere and they will change their minds about the show too. That’s going to be so cool!
Ahhhh…who am I kidding? There’s another thing I’m never going to do.
You have done well, my young apprentice.
You mean to say that you wasn’t gonna start calling us a buch of stupid asses and faggots and shit like that? I just don’t know what to think about all that…..
Oh no. Not like that.
I mean, I hate you guys but I can’t just come right out and say it otherwise you’ll be on to my plan.
So I’ll just continue to pretend I don’t like the show and go along with you guys then WHAMMO, the last episode I’ll bust out with why the show is really really excellent after all and most you will end up agreeing because of the influence I’ve established here already.
I’m subcontracting under Tyler’s contract with ABC.
You won’t know what hit you! I’m that good.
So does that mean an up coming episode will be Tyler centric?????
They are introducing new characters this season.
And the nominees for the Emmy for best drama are :
1. Lost – based on the novel ‘Poop’ by ‘Satire’
2. The gun cocker – Based on the novel “Pull” by “The trigger already”
3. Crap on the Air – Based on the show “Lost” by “someone who should retire”
4. ‘Pretentious’ – Based on the autobiography ‘Douche’ by Carlton
5. Burn After Stabbing – Based on the novel ‘Push’ by ‘Pyre’.
And the winner is… No winners here.

So Emerson said it’d be a place never seen on TV? well, that rules out Britney Spears’ vagina.
I once jokingly said something about a flash-upward to a super-dimension where all the events really happen. I can’t believe that it really could be it. Could it??? I’m starting to suspect that the writers come here and steal our sarcastic suggestions because they realize that, even though satirical in nature, our scenarios are better than theirs.
And has anyone called them on the fact that Smokey is just an upgrade of the liquid metal terminator? From liquid to aerosol – that sounds like the begining and the end of my honeymoon, oohhhh heeeyy, Thanks, I’ll be here all week, try the veal.
I am so glad to see you are back in true form. If that aint some fusnny shit I don’t know what is!!!!!
Glad to hear that.
That is the least I can do, since I suspect that the B-me in the altaverse is a rabid fan of Lost, and probably is trolling this site, so I have to bring balance to the universe.
You know what they say: “you cannot choose family, neighbors and B-you”.
Oh man, in the flash side, alt uni, sunken treasure isle, B verse I must be a pod mod at the fusealog!!!!!
Pirates! How cool would that be?
NO WAY, that just might have some entertainment value to it!!!!!
guys i don’t mind lost…It really is a great show with lots of important lessons to be learned from it. Can’t we all just appreciate that?
I can agree with that. The show does teach important lessons.
Like if I end up on a mysterious island with a bunch of nimrods after our plane crashes, when firearms are discovered I need to shoot and kill every last one of my fellow survivors because they’re just to stupid and irritating for me to allow them to live.
And then I need to hunt down and snuff all the others, other others, and other mother others because they’re f*cking lame and stupid and they can’t shoot for sh*t anyway so it will be easy for me to exterminate them.
LostLover If you want anybody to agree with you besides maybe infected, dude your at the wrong LOST site…..
I don’t understand all of the criticism. Yes, the format has changed a bit with the real cool alt-reality stuff, and there always seems to be more questions than answers. But, we still have all the great new and old charters to enjoy…
(just kidding)
I wanted to punch you in the face until I read ‘just kidding’
And has anyone called them on the fact that Smokey is just an upgrade of the liquid metal terminator? From liquid to aerosol – that sounds like the begining and the end of my honeymoon, oohhhh heeeyy, Thanks, I’ll be here all week, try the veal.
Ah, this ripped me up, LOL.
Maybe, just maybe, smokie is witchiepoo in disguise, and this show is some grand scheme of hers to try and get freddie the flute. Heck, maybe the island really is ‘living island’, and it will be revealed that Jacob is really Mayor HR Puff n Stuff. I would settle for this ending, rather than the crapper we are waiting for.
“Uh-oh, Chongo!”
Yes!!!! I would love to see Cling & Clang again. They were my favorites when I was a kid…..
Ok – We have religion, Egypt, fertility, mystical crap, science, love, irony, heartbreak… anything else?
Oh ya, we don’t deserve any answers to the multitude of questions we have been trying to figure out for FIVE YEARS because it is a, “Character Based Show,” per the writers… This just one of the reasons WHY LOST SUCKS.
One more thing (I can’t give this up), Why couldn’t Michael or Jack die?
What kind of reality is that?
I hope this doesn’t end in a cheesy DREAM… I got a C instead of an A on a short story I did in school because of that weak approach.
SPOILER: They all died on the initial plane crash, and they have a chance (SIX F’n YEARS) to redeem themselves to; live (alt. reality), or go to heaven or hell.
Ah, who gives a shit. The writers don’t.
I was thinking it was probably locke’s body, or jacob’s original body in the locked compartment on the sub, but i bet it’s just a ghostbusters proton pack, along with eckto trap for catching smokie.
Look out of the staypuff marshmallow man to go stomping through the jungle in the final episode.
I reckon whatever is in the locked closet is something so unbelievably lame that we will be rendered apoplectic by it’s inanity.
The writers’ ability to create increasingly more irritating stupidity with each successive episode and season is breathtaking. When I think it can’t possibly be any worse….they make it worse.
The only acceptable resolution for the show for me will be a murder/suicide of all the characters in the final episode. Hurley being the the last one alive. He will put the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and pull the trigger. BOOM!
The final scene will be on the beach, Vincent ripping out Kate’s intestines, snarling and chewing madly as he does so. Camera zooms in. Vincent releases Kate’s guts, sits facing the camera with blood and gore all over his face. He wags his tale, pants cutely, barks once…LOST.
The end.
“tail” No double entendre intended.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they never got to explaining what’s in the locked room.
I’m done with this shit, this was some of the crappiest episodes of any tv show I’ve seen.
Even crap like 24 which is the same shit every single season looks kinda cool compared to this crap.
And people used to complain about Heroes, which is awful now… guess it got Lostsized… or bitching about Prison Break, even season 4 that was made with 2 dollars was way better than the shít Lost gave us on season 5 and this stupid lameass filler of Season 6.
Lost truly sucks. It jumped the shark like 9994568945684589640958 times as of now, and it’s getting lamer, cheesier and stupid. AND THE FKING characters keep acting like braindead sheepdroids! Shít! I hate them all.
WRITERS SERIOUSLY, IF YOU WANNA WRITE SOME COOL STUFF AND MAKE A SHOW ABOUT IT, PLEASE CREATE CHARACTERS BASED ON REAL PERSONS, NOT SOME FKING SHEEPDROID THAT WILL NEVER QUESTION ANYTHING AND IF THEY’RE TOLD TO PUT A 100 INCH METAL DILDO IN THEIR ASS, THEY’D ENJOY IT.
FLASHSIDEWAYS ORLY?
SAWYER A COP! ZOMG!
MILES HIS GAYPARTNER?
CHARLOTTE THE WHORE?
A MYSTERIOUS LOCKED DOOR IN THE SUB?
WHO THE F CARES!

The final season of Prison Break was better than the last 4 seasons of Lost and also better than Heroes except for its 1st season.
They didn’t want LOST to look better than the “new Lost,” FLASHFORWARD – and succeeded. HAHA
your a jerk man, you have no appreciation or concept of good television.
You have no appreciation or concept of good spelling.
I think you are starting to get it…
They should have never quit pushing the button. Now look at us……..
I was actually kinda digging Sawyer and Miles as being cops as a decent spinoff until Miles went all Elton John on his ass…Oh yeah we’re not partners anymore because i didn’t tell you “MY DEEP DOWN SECRETS I’VE TOLD NO ONE!” Jesus Appleseed, even the actors had to think that was gay…
Overall pretty slow episode, so I guess they’re going to shoehorn, ToeJam and Earl the rest of this shit into the time they’ve got remaining…
And to all those who think Charlotte was sooooo hott..You guys have got some seriously low standards..freeze frame her back…LMMFAO…
Hi-fives @ Locke slapping the shit outta Clairebear and for Sayid looking at Kate like she just racially profiled him while at knife-point…The ship is sinking, but dammit if I’m not gonna be on board coughing up blood and water…
OMG, and an episode of Little House on The Prairie helps Sawyer deal with his past? The fuck is Mikail during all of this?
B O O M
W A L T ?
You just don’t tell me everything – I think we should break up… LOL
These are two men talking to each other?
Charlotte’s face looks like a foot
Ok guys. So it is obvious, the island will sink in the last episode. Probably it will be the lamest scene of Tv history. Let’s try to figure out how it will happen, as I have no idea..
The island will strike and iceberg and begin taking on water. As it sinks everyone will rush to find a lifeboat. Only some will find boats though. The rest will have to cling to floating debris or tread water. Dharma polar bears who had been hiding high in the hills will gleefully rush to climb onto the iceberg. On their way they will chew off the heads of swimming survivors of the sunken island, among these will be Kate, Hurley and Claire.
^And you think the LOST writers are bad? Good God man…That wasn’t even funny either…
This is what’s gonna happen in the LOST finale:
Something good enough to validate your fucking watching parties and make for decent if not fond memories of how much you all truly loved this show…Not one “fanatic” is gonna enjoy and embrace this day more than you guys…
Don’t blow my cover dickwad. I get paid for this.
I think everyone will be rescued.
So there will be two of everybody that sure will make a whole lot of sense…..
They all get rescued, but wind and back on the Island – like Gilligan.
They will spend one hour explaining the answers no one cares about (what’s in the locked room, who killed those new survivors, random BS that happens in the alternate universe) and then the next hour will be slo mo of them getting on the plane, slo mo of them on the plane, then slo mo of them getting off the plane.
Crybaby Jack-ass, after taking over the Jacob duties will finally be able to let go of that fart he has been holding in for six seasons now. After doing this it creates a huge tidal wave that on its return trip it sinks the island. Thats my story and I am sticking to it…..
Funny thing, my son just came in and taught me a new word that fits this show completely. The word is “fubar.” This show is completely and totally fubar!!!!!
For the interweb illiterates…
FUBAR is an acronym that means “fucked up beyond all repair,”
Like Locke’s chest-plates…
Or Beyond all Recognition
SNAFU – Situation Normal All Fucked Up.
Dammit you guys!!! I was just over at Hanks Lost Sucks site and there haven’t been any replys for the last two episodes. I believe this thread here is the second most commented so far. I almost signed up. If I do ever sign up over there, I don’t want to do it out of pity. To bad though, but I knew he was starting up way to late. Better luck on your next endeavor Hank!!!!!
Thanks for the pity visit!
But I knew it was late to make that board. The only reason i made that was because I was a regular on another lost board and I got sick of constantly being attacked, warned and even suspended for making negative criticisms of the show over the past two seasons. Those hurling personal attacks never got warned but were cheered on for defending this crappy show. Most of my hate for the show is because of spite for the fanboys and fangirls.
A friend of mine told me about this site but when i first visited it was full of trolls so i figured i would make a new place. Now that the trolls are gone i guess this place is good enough.
There is a couple of them still lurking around in the shadows. They gotta have a few laughs too, and if thats how they have to do it, good for them. They don’t bother me any and usually they are pretty funny being all spiteful because some people are making fun of the show they love so dearly…..
Saw the season premiere of Breaking Bad last night. I’d say it was only an average episode (I’m not all that interested in the time spent with Walt, his wife, and their marital problems), but here’s why an average Breaking Bad is still a thousand times better than what Lost has become:
No smoke monster; no love quadrangle; no aimless walking thru jungles or deserts; no flash forwards, backwards, or sideways; no retarded temper tantrums; no mystical nonsense; no submarines; no dead being brought back to life; no ridiculous (and completely unbelievable) plot developments; no Easter Egg “clues” to look up on wikipedia; no Sawyer; no Jack; no Kate.
Instead, just another well-written chapter in a great story that has our hero trying to break ties with one drug lord while a pair of Javier Bardems try to go No Country for Old Men on his ass. And next week’s episode looks even better with the return of Saul the crooked lawyer.
This is the difference between a show conceived and written by pros vs. a show conceived and written by smug, arrogant douchebags.
Beyond all else, BB is simple. How many main characters does the show have at one time? Below 10, that is for sure. The conversations actually mean something. When Walt was talking to the black guy who owns the restaurant, and was offered 3 million for 3 months work, hell, that was a dilemma one of us might actually face (if we started cooking meth, of course). But when Sawyer goes on a recon mission for an undead pseudo-man/smoke monster and gets 1/10 of the information he needed from Widmore (who also insults us by saying “you don’t know anything”), well, we don’t know how to feel.
i’ve never seen breaking bad but i’m going to assume when walt talked to the black guy, the black didn’t just yell “waaaaaaaaaaaaalt! muh boyyyy” either.
“But when Sawyer goes on a recon mission for an undead pseudo-man/smoke monster and gets 1/10 of the information he needed from Widmore (who also insults us by saying “you don’t know anything”), well, we don’t know how to feel.”
Yep. BB also doesn’t insult the audience by having Walt wrap up an episode by telling his wife he’s gonna hijack a locomotive or start running a nuclear power plant or do anything else that’s obviously beyond his particular skill set.
I am to poor to have cable so I only get antenna, so I have only read reviews of Breaking Bad, sounds like a great show. Only thing I can say is “NO SMOKE MONSTER” well, I guess I have monster issues…..
Breaking Bad was GREAT! Best show now on TV in the Dexter off-season. LOST used to be…
Yeah I didn’t like the season opener either. I want Walt and Jesse to “trek” out to the desert and cook up some more of that sweet sweet material azul that people from Albuquerque to Michoacan love so much.
You’re still a giant douchebag, Raptus, but I do agree with you that Breaking Bad is one of the best shows on television. I talked to Cranston once for a newspaper article I was writing. He’s a pretty cool dude. I also agree with you that the marriage shit with Skylar, excepting the shocker that Walt actually confessed everything, is pretty boring too.
Also, Walter White is not a hero. He’s broke bad for real in the next-to-last episode of season two and he’s probably effed forever.
Here we go guys. ‘Us Magazine’ has the scoop.
Via Gawker:
“”Sheila Kelley, the actress who plays the brand new character Zoe on Lost, just did an interview with Us Weekly and it is interesting! She says she’s on every page of the final script, and that Zoe “has the answer.”
“Here are the most interesting quotes about the Tina Fey doppleganger:
Sheila Kelley, the actress who plays the brand new character Zoe on Lost, just did an interview with Us Weekly and it is interesting! She says she’s on every page of the final script, and that Zoe “has the answer.”
She is Charles Widmore’s right hand. She does all his dirty work. But she has her own strategy and agenda as well. In one script, I’m going in one direction. In another script, I’m going 180 degrees the other way.
She is looking for someone on the island.
This beautiful journey of this entire show, between good and evil, between science and faith, lies within Zoe.
Zoe has the answer. Zoe knows.
The plot thickens! Again.”"
snipurl.com/v04dt
If she is on every page of the final script, that means she is in every scene of a two hour finale. Really? That sounds more like a one-woman off-Broadway show than a sci-fi/fantasy drama.
“In one script, I’m going in one direction. In another script, I’m going 180 degrees the other way.”
-Sounds like every character bio of Lost.
Tues night i am going to camp in front of my comp. and wait for tyler to start a new thread and then i can be the 1st poster instead of that troll.
O shit, i just remembered that i cannot do that – - i have a life. You win again troll.
One thing I don’t seem to have. OK, two things!!! Thats a job or a life. He beat me by like a minute and a half. Its OK though we need them to make the site more interesting anyway. Well, thats just my opinion…..
Try your best bitches…I didn’t even try to be first last week…I guess it was just “The Island” guiding me…
Furthermore, I dare you bastards call me a troll…I’m an anti-troll on site full of trolls…Who else would start a site like this but powerless trolls…puhleeeze…
WOW,BUDDY!!! You sure are showin us a thing or two aincha!!!!!
Put a sock in it old man…You and your fubar offspring!
WOW, you sure told me didntcha!!!!!
Infected is angry because his genital herpes is blooming and none of his regular street hooker girlfriends will do him even when he offers them extra money and agrees to wear two condoms.
His winkie is all scabby and sore so he’s lashing out at us. Don’t take his hostility personally.
Thats to bad. I kinda feel sorry for him now. I guess that does explain all his hostility though…..
Your argument fails, Plimp.
I’d have to get laid to get herpes, stupid.
I could throw a random AIDS or STD joke out there, but this site is the AIDS, this site is herpes..And LOST is bitch you’re all trying to fuck…When your pu$$y is gone, you mid 30’s and 40’s assholes will have nothing else to bang…
@Plimp – Die LOSTFAG…
Ha!
What one night stand goes into another man’s shirt drawer and diggs DEEP for a shirt, then finds something that she knows she shouldn’t look at, then (Knowing her one night stand may come back in the room at any minute) STILL thumbs thru this guy’s secret booklet..Then when she’s caught and chewed out, SHE gets mad and won’t forgive HIM?!
It was this scene and the one of Miles interrogating Sawyer like he was his mother or ‘Ole Lady, demanding answers that really turned me off…Miles broke every guy code rule I can think off in one scene…
Love the ladies (look at my username), but it’s no doubt to me that a woman wrote this ep…Those scenes were too illogical…
I did enjoy the interaction between Sawyer and Widmore and Sawyer the suddenly “Mommy Issues” Smokness Lockster…But I do place this episode with “What Kate Does” as the two worse of the season…Can’t wait for Richard’s ep though, it seems like a lifetime since we came up with the Black Rock theory and I hope it won’t disappoint (LOL, I know everyone here thinks it will)…We’ll probably get the patented Flashback “Wooooosh” sound again instead of those FS tribal drum beats, lol…
8 eps left, lets do this thing!
“it’s no doubt to me that a woman wrote this ep…Those scenes were too illogical…”
Two women wrote it actually: Melinda Hsu Taylor + Greggory Nations
Perfect example of WHY LOST SUCKS BIG HAIRY SHEMALE BALLS:
Season 3
Ben asks Richard to take the others to the temple.
I wonder what the Temple is?
Season 4
Ben tells Danielle Rousseau to take Karl and Alex to The Temple, describing it as possibly “the last safe place on this island”.
Seriously, what is the Temple?
Season 5
In 1988, the French science team is attacked by the Smoke Monster. Montand, is dragged through the jungle and down into a dark hole in the ground beneath the outer wall of the Temple. The other members of the team attempt to rescue him but when they return their personalities have changed.
The Smoke Monster… The sickness… Ancient Egyptians… I have to know what’s in the Temple?
In 2007, Smoke-Locke takes Ben and Sun to Temple. Sun waits outside while Ben and Smoke-Locke enter the dark hole in the ground. Ben finds himself in a chamber with a large central engraving depicting what appears to be the Egyptian god Anubis confronting the Smoke Monster. The Smoke Monster creeps out of a vent beneath the engraving and surrounds Ben, displaying events from his past. Moments later, the smoke retreats back into the vent, and the Monster appears as Alex.
OMG!… The Smoke Monster lives under the temple? For the love of God, what is the Temple?
Season 6
The Temple is revealed. It is run by a drink-driving Japanese Businessman who is also a Baseball-loving Samurai. He wont talk in English so he has John Lennon translate for him. They have a bath which they drown people to death in and a machine that can tell if someone is evil. Gary Troup’s girlfriend lives there with Zach and Emma. The Others are just as clueless as everybody else on the Island.
Is that it?
Sundown
Yes. Yes it is!
what, but never why. fun isn’t it?
But wait! What’s locked in that closet on Widmore’s boat? I MUST KNOW!
Jack’s Fathers Magical Shoes…
Well, I for one am very curious just WHO is going to be coming out of that closet in an upcoming episode…I say Ben.
R. Kelly.
Sawyer and Baby Chang will finaly come out of the closet and reveal their true love for each other, other and yet another other from a different mother. Something like that anyways…..
Future Zack and Emma are in the box! They’re the only surviving other other other others…
G A S P !

W A L T ?
OK, so way back when, I remember Richard telling Sun and Frank that he saw all the people in the picture die. Now he could have just seen that they were in dharma gear and figured they died in the purge. The funny thing is, that it wasn’t that long before he actually ran across one of them. I think that probably would have been Sawyer. Not to long after he was cut down by John Not John. To have seen these people die, he sure didn’t seem to suprised to see Sawyer in the jungle. Of course watching the show for as long as we have, we know asking questions to get any kind of a satisfactory answer is completely out of the question! Anyway in the real world with even a half assed unintelligent hillbilly such as myself, if I was to see somebody die and then sometime in the future see this person again, I do believe I would at least look surprised and be asking a question or two, no matter what was going on at that particular time. Well, maybe his encounter with John Not John really shook him up and he didn’t recognize Sawyer. Not to long after that though, he runs across Jack-ass and Hugo, and still nothing, Not even a bat of an eyelid. When they were in the Blackrock and crybaby Jack-ass said that it was time to answer a few questions, Richard should have been saying “how the hell are you even here, I saw all you fucks die, so fuck you I aint answering shit!” Wouldn’t this have made more sense? Doesn’t matter anyway I guess because the result was still the same. We come out of that scene not knowing anything more than we already knew. So in conclusion since Richard seen them all die, I say lets kill all these bastards off now!!! Put them all out of there misery, and be done with all these pieces of shit, that I could care less about anyway. Then we could get on with this so called “war” they promised us!!! I WANNA SEE SOME ACTION FOR A CHANGE GODDAMMIT!!! Fuck these pitiful characters that are no longer needed and not only that, who really gives a shit about any one of them!!! Instead of just cocking that gun,”SHOOT” goddammit lets quit fuckin around here and get down to some kill or be killed action. Its time for this pussy footin around shit to stop!!! I could give a shit less what the characters want answered, I don’t care about any fucking answers, I want to see a war goddammit, Thats what these fuckheads promised, and thats what I want to see!!!!!!!!!!
“Not to long after that though, he runs across Jack-ass and Hugo, and still nothing, Not even a bat of an eyelid”
What you’re neglecting is that if you’ve been on the island for as long as Richard has, you’d know that death is always a temporary matter. This would however not explain why Richard didn’t tell Sun “I saw them all die. But don’t worry. Most people who have flashbacks, flash forwards and flash sideways are resurrected randomly”
Tonight’s episode is scheduled to run 6 minutes long. That’s 6 extra minutes of blank stares, gun cocking, and jungle trekking, so everyone please prepare.
It’s also going to focus on Richard “Eyeliner” Alpert, Jacob, the Man in Black, and many new characters including “…Isabella, Father Suarez, Ignacio, a doctor, a servant and a prisoner.”
I expect many new mysteries will be deployed.
Hey Guys, no connection to Lost, buy I’ve been listening on Youtube, to Gilbert Gottfried on the Howard stern show, man that was funny,
especially when Abe Hirschfeld was a guest and Gilbert made him repeat the same joke a million times. but there are many more.
check it out if you are into this kind of comedy.
This probably has as much relevance as tonight’s episode with guyliner dude.
CPT P

Well…Sighs…
I Guess that’s why you’re a fag…Good day then…
I’m a fag?! You’re the one that gave me the boner!!!
I was watching Cleaner yesterday, and there was one scene where I swear to god, Cuse and Lindelof ripped the movie off and literally swapped Samuel L Jackson with Sawyer, Ed Harris with Miles, and Ed Harris’ 6 minute explosive dialog about wanting his partner back with Miles’ 12 second man-love speech.
