Let the suckfest begin!!!!!
If we all ignore the trolls tonight I think we’ll have a better time and cut down on message clutter.
LMAO…Preemtive Plimp…
Ahh you’re a trollers dream…
Kind of like saying: “You probably shouldn’t feed that squirrel”, while holding a handful of walnuts.
I’ve noticed that the place I used to catch part of the show (at the gym) does have ABC on one of the TVs there for like, 6 days of the week. But on Tuesday nights, somebody is asking for the channel to be switched to CNN or ESPN.
I can only assume that somebody does not want LOST on at all. I’m not the person doing it, but it appears as though I am probably done watching the show.
It seems like someone, somewhere, is looking out for you.
YEEEEAAAAH! Plow her into next week, you horn dog!
LOL. They’ve been apart 3 years. That make up sex when they finally hook up is going to rock the island! She’ll never walk the same.
THATS IT!!!!! THATS WHAT SINKS THE ISLAND!!!!!
Island sinking, lost in a time warp for three years sex has got to be even better than make up sex (or conjugal visit sex).
Here’s a random thought. If they had eliminated the english subtitles and the english translation and kept it all in Korean, what would you have deduced as the plot for the Jin and Sun sequences?
Two frigid Koreans on a voyage of sexual discovery in Yankee imperialist nation. Yankee dog imperialist airport official steals their money. Yankee dog giant interrupts blessed kamasutra with a clumsy Yankee capitalist extortion attempt.
She got plowed so good in Alt universe #1 that she forgot how to speak english in Alt universe #2.
Tina Fey wannabe has some nice tah tahs
Aww, Jacks bonding with Sun out on her garden. Just like the good ol’ days of season 1
They are really rubbing the nostalgia balm on our wounds aren’t they? The tomato garden, then the stupid flashy TV room 23 that they were brainwashing the poor Carl kid with..
I don’t need reminders. I already know how much of a sucker I was for the show back then and how much the show sucks now. I don’t need comparisons.
Why don’t you play the 1st or 2nd season instead of this crap. That’d be better TV anyday :-p.
I agree with you, but it was still the best written dialog this show has seen in some time. “Nostalgia balm”… I like that.
My take exactly since most of the episode hade to be read because my Korean is a little rusty right at this moment…..
Mine too, but I sure like their short-ribs. Kimchi, garlic stems and soju are pretty fantastic as well.
I have to disagree with you, Nico, about the writing being good. On an absolute scale, the writing wasn’t bad, but on a relative scale, the writing was inconsistent with how the characters have been recently. The writing during this scene stood out so much, I actually said “holy shit, they’re actually talking to each other about something pertinent!,” and then I missed what they actually said.
A good writer wants to use consistently believable words and tone, so that people pay attention to what is said and not how it’s said. It’s like if a blog post has tons of poor grammar and poor spelling, readers are going to pay attention to the mistakes more than to the writer’s actual message, which negates the purpose of posting to begin with.
Like I said, a few well written scenes out of 4 seasons of drech, doesn’t change my opinion about Lost. It just pisses me off even worse.
Matt knows what “good writing is” more than people who go to school and work for years to get a job writing…Interesting…
are they really gonna make us watch this ‘V’ countdown clock all hour?
ABC doesn’t care if it ruins the video presentation – low class.
Was that a countdown to the show “V”? I thought it was a countdown to the word “vacate” — as in when I would be able vacate my bowels after watching the Lost episod. Vacating my bowels was much more satisfying.
Dancing with the Smokemonster…
No recap this week? Is that OK with the stringent writers? Recaps on some episodes and zip for others – with no rhyme or reason. Just like this boring season.
I gotta warn ya now, I dance like I am floating on air…..
A one-legged Hurley on a hunger strike might move quicker than tonight’s episode.
Yeah, when Miles made his “bacon grease” comment I thought they missed a big laugh by not having him say “Dharma (TM) brand ranch dressing”. Yes, I look at this show as more of a comedy these days.
Yes they need to add that laugh track!!!!!
Haha…Little ole Infected got the thread opened earlier than usual…
Dance marionettes dance xD…
Oh great ep so far…
Glad to see you’re showing some interest…
Don’t worry I’m a troll of my word..No more trolling of Nico Toscani…But I will be ultra-trolling Plimp momentarily…
I appreciate your not trolling me, but by all means feel free to call me an asshole when appropriate (which is often). I’d rather hear a passionate defense of the show than random insults. Just sayin…
“Asshole” Ha gotcha!!!!!
I have to say this. I have enjoyed the Infected-Nico-plimp love triangle far far far more than the idiotic Jack-Kate-Sawyer one. Thanks a lot for the entertainment
.
There’s still plenty of love to go around, I assure you.
You know I was just happy to see Sun doing something of importance again…Admittedly she’s been fubar’d for almost a season in a half…I liked her and Jin in this episode, sue me…
I thought Ricardus’ movie-esque episode was stronger visually with more content, but this ep did have a season 1 feel to it at times which i thought even the Niconator would appreciate…but i know this entire series sucks ass in every way possible, so this passage will definitely get me bashed…
On another tangent, I’m apparently Matthew Fox in disguise…I accept that charge…Perhaps Plimp could wipe his upper-limbs of cheetos cheese puff crumbs and psychologically diagnose me again…
Well as you can see a bit further down the page, I am occasionally capable of paying the show a compliment when it’s due one (such a rare occurrence deserves noting). I would still rather have have a hot rail road spike rammed up my ass than see any more retarded b-universe stories though.
These b-universe stories..Like the past few seasons, seem to rely on whether or not most people care about said alt-character…
If ya hate Jack getting a tattoo ya gonna despise his father-son chat with his altborn fetus…I agree (not to the point of metal ass rape though) they’re not always easy to traverse…But if this is a character based show these things live and die with them…
I disliked both Kate’s and Sawyer’s alt-world, but I enjoyed Locke’s Jack’s and Ben’s…I have to believe there importance will be revealed…If NOTHING OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE is revealed about the flash sideways, I will gladly baptize myself in the funk of the LOSTSUX Springs…Right now i think i will get a pay off from them….
Well I cared about Jin and Sun for the first two seasons. Then the writers took a crap all over them. It’s too bad really.
“I was just happy to see Sun doing something of importance again”
-What, if anything, did she do?
Have an episode focused on her ofcourse…
Wow huge accomplishment.
BOOM
MEERKATS
LMMFAO^^…
Great Episode? Gonna ask for some proof bud… got the dripping kleenex and blistered palms to prove it?
Writing is easier than speaking.
Sayid is invisible.
Sayid, Sun, Ilana and Widmore die in episode 14. Hehe.
uhhh spoiler alert? oh well either way, makes me happy to hear.
Damn it, I was hoping they would take out at least a dozen of the remaining people. Oh well, maybe we can hope for a following up death spree the next week. Bah, who am I kidding they can’t have something happen two weeks in a row….
well, if that wasn’t a boring crapfest of an episode.
It was terrible. Write when Sayid was on a sneaking mission, about to kick some ass, they ended it.
Yikes… This was a bad one, even for Lost. Good to see that everything is back to normal after last week’s somewhat tolerable episode.
This was very boring television. No good.
It’s confirmed: Richard’s episode will be the best of the season
Last week’s episode (Richard) was apparently made just to momentarily raise our hopes that the alternate-reality-flashes might be over.
Does anyone care what happens in the alternate reality? If there is a single alternate reality, there are infinite alternate realities. Who cares what happens in any of them? It doesn’t matter.
Why on fucking earth are they dragging the Sun/Jin reunion out over multiple episodes? Who is greenlighting this awful shit?
Jin and Sun meet in episode 14, the same episode Sun dies.
So we have that to look forward to anyway.
Oh no there goes Tokyo. Go, go, Godzilla…
Korean mating habits: a big question the writers answered. Those were stunt double boobs btw… female cleavage, about time, that Hurley cleavage was getting old real fast.
Looks like Jack is going senile like his grandpa Ray. He’s telling pointless stories that go on and on and on about his past patients, making promises about people and about getting off the island. He’ll forget all that and next week he’ll be off doing something else? Senility.
Man, I forgot all about “grandpa Ray”. He represents the grandpa Ray in us all.
Like Ray said to Jack in the old folks home, “One of these days I’m gonna break out of there.”
Sure thing Gramps. Hey look!, there goes Matlock.
The only thing I recall about “Grandpa Ray” is that he looked younger than Jack’s dad.
No kidding. All the clean living in the senior’s home.
I am starting to lose my patience with this show. First I had subject myself to keystone cops, a sappy televnova, and now an episode where Jin and Sun “search” for each other but actually don’t.
I felt like chucking something at the tv. I now I offically could care less what happens in this dumb show. I feel the writers are basically treating us like idiots.
You are “STARTING” to lose your patience with the show? If it took this long, you must have the patience of a Saint.
“First I had subject myself to keystone cops, a sappy televnova, and now an episode where Jin and Sun “search” for each other but actually don’t. ”
Yes that was hilarious. They keep whining about how they miss each other and how they intend to find them but actually just sit around all day long.
I kinda liked Sun taking her shirt off, but that was about it…
i would totally bukkake her
She is a candidate after all.
Total boob double. She has to maintain her modesty in Korea, where she gets speaking lines that aren’t strictly variations on “where is my husband?”
I’m now realizing what a buzz-kill my response is. Forget I even said it. I heard next week we’ll get a peek at her perky, brown nipples. Just keep thinking those warm, fuzzy thoughts.
Hell I figured with all that money she has she went and got a boob job…..
Meh, Asian girls are allowed to be members of the IBTC (Google if you live on Mars). I’d rather see small and perky than hard and siliconey.
I guess she complained about her dialogues and her compensation from the writers was “Don’t worry, you get to take your shirt off in your episode”. Sadly she didn’t respond “Never ask me that again”..
“Previously, on Why Lost Sucks…”
*cut to quick shot montage of Infected, Plimp, Smokie and myself hurling insults*
PATCHIE MCMOTHERFUCKIN RUSSIAN IS BACK BITCHES (minus the patch)!!!
Glad to see with the kill shot to the eye they have ripped off Donnie Darko yet again. Though I guess if you’re looking for material to rip off, you could do a lot worse.
If last weeks show was nominally “the best” of the year; I would say this week could easily be the worst. It really reminded me of how far this show has sunk. During season 1 and 2, Jin was one of my favorite characters. He and Sun’s story was such a perfectly complete arc. The social climbing young man from the fishing village who took the wrong path to the top. The redemption that love provided, and his eventual acceptance of his humble roots. Anybody who has ever watched Korean soaps on KBS is familiar with these concepts. Unlike last weeks tele-novella, the soap opera conceits actually worked well for Jin’s story. The b-universe story really didn’t cover anything we didn’t already see done better the first (or second, or third…) time around. It was to put it succinctly: BORING.
Nice to see Sun finally show some fire. Of course, I’d be pissed if I hadn’t had any lines for two or three seasons too.
The “big” reveal, that the package was Desmond was so anti-climactic that even Jin actually ASKING A QUESTION couldn’t salvage it.
If there was one small bright spot in this episode, it was the scene on the beach with Jack and Sun. Well acted and well written; it was nice to see a scene where two characters actually spoke to each other in a way that real people might. It’s so rare that there’s any dialog that doesn’t sound totally artificial in Lost these days, it was quite refreshing.
One good scene does not a good show make though. This episode still sucked.
i agree about the last scene. a rare moment of poignancy on this show. but i really don’t get why we need to follow jin and sun anymore at all. they are dead weight.
Like I said, JIn and Sun’s characters were superfluous by the end of season 2. This becomes especially apparent now that it seems the whole question of the island’s affect on fertility will never be answered. Still, it was a nice story that was told well… and then beaten into submission like a red-headed step-child somebody locked in the closet.
NUH-UHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Cuz we don’t know which “Kwon” might be a candidate!!!!! So we have to wait for the answer so both are important right now!!!! DUH!!!!
Agree with you on the last scene. And yeah there was no big surprise about the package being Desmond (I guess they just can’t “surprise” me anymore :-p). But it still felt good to see him. Felt like I was seeing a long-lost brutha
.
I actually like Cusick’s portrayal of Desmond quite a bit. He was also great as a young Charles Darwin in this PBS movie I saw a while back. Still, talk about telling us something we didn’t already know… jeesh!
Dude played Jesus too on some ION network movie or something, and he turned my water into wine brotha…
I almost puked during the Jack-Sun moment
I feel no need to defend the fact I liked one scene out of 10 episodes so far this season. It was a nice reminder of how bad the writing is the other 99.99% of the time.
i can’t believe we will STILL have to hear these two ask about each other for, what, the rest of the season? i guess there is supposed to be a parallel between jin and desmond. but i really stopped caring.
Correct you are. This episode was meant to establish to the audience that Jin and Sun are separated but looking for one another. Apparently it is crucial to the storyline in case there is some botard somewhere who would choose this episode as the point to start watching the series.
The writers have taken the likable characters of Sun and Jin and taken them from a pleasant relief to Jack/Kate/Sawyer and turned them into two dimensional characters. We no longer learn anything about either of them, their characters have no interests or motivations apart from finding one another.
Oh well, let’s have another episode where Kate beats up a dozen Navy Seals and drives a stolen car cross country. Or maybe one where Sawyer acts like a bad guy but winds up being the good guy. Hey, maybe we could have one where Jack cries about his dad. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Don’t forget the one where Hurley chases somebody through the jungle. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
So now we have a flashback, or more of a pre-story for a previous flash-sideway?
These writers can’t hack this so maybe they should have stuck with good old fashioned linear story telling.
wouldn’t THAT have been an unexpected treat? just make the last season linear, without the gimmicks?
Making Sun forget how to speak English was a nice way to stall the story line and waste more time. These writers will do anything just so the characters don’t have to give answers to anyone.
The scene where she was yelling I felt like demanding my money back. It was pure filler. As was the stupid baby photos scene. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID KID
I kinda disagree on that one. That was one genuine moment on LOST after a long time. Widmore finding the camera was a very cheesy excuse, but Jin’s facial expressions on seeing his daughter and wife somehow made me glad. In this season, the characters have started to act as if they don’t care for anyone at all and this was a welcome change..
OK, I really really hate to admit this but I did kind of like that scene. I guess because I can kind of relate to it. I have one grand child that is almost three now and all I have got to see of her is pictures. and that really sucks!!!!!
I get the fact that the writers are at A (Jin won’t help them) and they need to get to Z (get Jin to help them) so they come up with a good way to encourage him. I also realize it’s not as absurd as losing language specific speech. But why do they insist on making all the male characters cry? Why is there always a fucking sob fest in every episode. I want to see the war, I want Smokey to take Kate’s body and slam it into a retaining wall, then take her corpse and fling it into the ocean.
I like your style!!!!!
By Far the WORST amnesia concoction I have ever seen/heard. Lame unbeliveable writing. Does anyone buy this horseshit? Oh I can understand engish but I can’t say it???? We’re dealing with new lows here ladies and gentlemen. And we still have what? 6 episodes left? Strap in b/c its GONNA get worse.
Anyone else find that Giant, Red “V” on the screen beyond enraging? I could give two shits about that show, or Flash-Forward…..OK ABC, You’ve let LOST become horseshit. You think I’m gonna give you my time as a viewer to do the same thing over, and over again? I Hope both of those shows are canceled before this LOST trainwreck goes to the scrap-yard!
BOOM
VVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
HEAR!!!!! HEAR!!!!!
This time, I didn’t watch it. I only read the text wiki version. That’s enough to learn how sucks it is!
It’s something that has happened to many of us here. Eventually you just can’t take it anymore and need a break. I was *this* close to turning it off tonight, until my fiancee threatened to break my fingers. At least thanks to the magic of the DVR I don’t have to sit through the commercials.
Kudos to your fiancee. I think she and I could be good friends if we ever met
.
She is in spite of being 9 inches shorter than me (I won’t even try and guess how much I outweigh her by), positively terrifying when she wants to be.
The commercials are the best part.
More filler. We are only going to get bits of information until the finale, which will be entertaining but still leave too many unanswered questions.
For starters, Widmore coming back should begin to answer more questions. Widmore hinted he knows a lot about the island’s history, yet have we seen a flash back from his perspective? NO. Will we? According to sources who have seen the remaining episodes, NO. Besides FakeLocke and Jacob, it appears that Widmore knows the most about the island. He knows (or thinks) that the smoke monster will end the world if released, just like Jacob does. So in that manner, he knows more than basically any other mortal on the show.
But L O S T would never give us a Widmore backstory. We see him temporarily on the island, doing whatnot, but as to how he acquired all his knowledge/wealth, ahhhhhh, let’s just not get into that.
So Jin/Sun still haven’t reconnected. To the writers: Why must you have such a complex storyline that delays everything until a crammed finale? Jin, who was with Jack at the temple, got seperated when he got captured by Claire. And Sun, as mopy as can be, for some reason doesn’t go out and look for him. Now, as gay as jungle treks have become, at least this one would make sense. So just when Sun loses it, she somehow forgets to speak English, although it is clear she can still understand it. I’m saying to myself, just have her write her answers!!!! This only takes Jack the brainiac til nightfall to think of, and the only answers he gets are the cliche “I don’t trust him.” I actually guessed that answer word-for-word. More Altaverse where characters have interconnecting lives. OMG, Sun and Jin aren’t married!!!! Who’d a thunk it? Who cares? I don’t even think the most devout fans still care about characters’ off-island alt lives anymore.
As the show dwindles down, by my count we still have to find out what happens to: Hurley, Desmond, Frank, Claire off the island. And what happens to everyone on the island. And when that happens, will we get answers to the ancillary questions that have been forgotten for some time now?
“I Don’t Trust Him” was my third guess as to what Sun would write on the pad, following “Have you seen my husband?!” and “I’m looking for my husband Jin!”
Complex storyline? It’s all filler. 100%.
I’ll be happy if the smoke monster kills everybody, then commits suicide. Actually, many of the characters could fill that role. I think that would be a great finale. It’s pretty much a given that whatever finale the came up with will be a steaming pile of crap, and answer very little. Murder/Suicide would be much more entertaining, and at least give a laugh along with the WTF?
But I don’t wanna die!!!!!
By “complex” I mean convoluted, with dozens of characters who know different things but refuse to tell us what is going on. Is Sayid “dead” or what? Why doesn’t he FEEL anything? What are the “rules” that fakeLocke must use to get off the island? How is the candidate chosen? And Widmore? What’s motivating him to do everything he has done in the past few seasons… ETC.
This story is so twisted and screwed up that I don’t know how the writers will resolve it unless smokey does go kill everyone off.
The Alt-verse is a waste of time, especially with all the answers we need on the island. But the writers will deviate from a straight forward plot until the finale, which will be mildly entertaining IMO, but still fail to provide any substanative answers/resolution.
The short version of last night’s episode:
Scene 1: Locke to Widmore: “We’re at war.”
Scene 2: Oh look, there’s Desmond.
That takes about 40 seconds. The other 40 minutes of show-time was the usual stuff Darlton keeps throwing at us while complaining that they can’t explain all the mysteries because they’ve run out of time.
Boom.
LIARS
I have to agree about the scene with Jack and Sun on the beach. I was like wow this was what made the show awesome for me. The rest of the episode was blah. Atleast no wood boats knocking over solid statues. It is kind of rediculous how off track the writers have got from a strong character driven story. They prefer this whole trap they have created where they keep insisting this crazy stuff is happening and there is a really great answer that will make sense of it all. I just feel that somewhere along the line their ego took over and they loved this feeling of people going over every word they say with a magnifying glass. Most times people made connections and deeper meaning that didn’t even exist.
The audience did make connections where there were none. It’s just like “Scroty McBoogerballs”.
I’d love to get a copy of that and “The poop that took a pee”.
CPT(P) Preevyet
Glad to see you’re still lurking around (and watching South Park).
Or “The Poo that Peed”.
Was nobody else excited to see the return of Boris Badinov (aka: Patchy McRussian)? I mean, what genius!
shit like that happens so often, we forgot how stupid it was. sorry.
Looking like Ralphie from A Christmas Story at the end of it all?
Actually he looked more like Frank from Donnie Darko, but I digress…
Wait a minute here. I think this russki has died more times than Locke!!!!!
I knew it would be him as soon as Keamy said “Russian”. As soon as I saw him, I knew I missed his eye-patch more than him :-\.
Always great to bring back characters in the alternate-has-nothing-to-do-with-anything-world so we can all reminisce. I would like to comment on this episode but won’t do so until I talk to your leader. What another bunch of horseshit. So what, we now know why Jin had the $25K, her dad had found out in the alternate world but in the real world they were already married so who cares? Not sure what the point is. Patchy is back, and needs his patch now. Anyone think he looked different, ie thinner? Or was it even the same actor? Whatever, Keamy isn’t dead so he’ll come back again. I think they try to wow us with great acting like we’ll forget the show sucks big hairy balls now.
CPT(P) Preevyet
(yes, the CPT will soon be a MAJ)
Wow, MAJ Preevyet! Congrats!
Unfortunately I won’t pin on Major until after the show ends so to the bitter end I will be a Captain. I am still reading just not finding a time to post, by the time I think of it it’s usually Sunday but for some reason got on today. I just can’t believe with 6 episodes left they’re showing this fluff that could have been done last season or earlier. There must be something to the alt universe or they wouldn’t be focusing on it so much. When/if Keamy dies in alt universe, will a freighter blow up? Just sayin’
CPT(P) Preevyet
I just hope we’re done with Toothy McGee for good. I fucking hate that actor, hate that character, hate, hate, hate!
They ripped that pay for your own assasination thing straight out of Kangaroo Jack. I think it was $25,000 there as well
And the whole show is worse than Captain Kangaroo…..
So in the alt universe, everyone who had ever been on the island is now living in LA? How convenient…
Wow! Best Episode Ever! I went through an extra box of tissue and jar of lube this time. Best Episode Ever.
Why do I get the feeling this isn’t Infected?
I think I’m coming down with the flu…
Poor, sickly bastard… I thought swine flu season was over.
I think you guys scared Infected away. Kudos.
Final memory for me of Lost- scene where tina fey interrogates jin, he tries to leave, she stuns him, he shivers?, then sits there at a distance far great enough to escape as she nonchalantly holds a large map trying to ask him completely dumb-ass questions, he demands to see whitmore, she agrees, etc.-
Turned it off.
So truly awful- so careless. What an absolute emulsion of disease laden vomit, feces, and drunken semen- drowning a sea of impoverished and retarded children!
I just can’t do this anymore. It is simply trash. I have wasted time and I am now done. Thank you for this forum as it was a good place for me to go in my despair and somehow remain entertained in a way by Lost. Now, thanks in a big part to the healing laughs, I will be getting on with my life. Thanks again all.
Well, now you know why I vanished for 2 seasons. I just can’t bare the thought of giving up again now, when we’re so close the the finish. It will be like the sweet release of death after being tortured for a few years.
I was a big Alias fan back when the show first started. The first season was great, the finale was mind blowing. The second season was also great. Seasons three on out are complete turds.
When I started watching Lost I did so expecting it to follow the same pattern. So far it has followed the Alias example perfectly.
i agree. i think i stopped watching alias somewhere in the third season, however, and then completely forgot that it even existed. the same thing happened. it became about that rimbaldi inventor, or some ridiculousness, and stopped being a spy show.
you’ll be back.
What Matt said. They ALWAYS come back.
Yup.. it’s a club with expanding membership. I kept watching but stopped caring in season 3. Season 4 I caught here and there but in general episodes were too awful to sustain my interest, and i wandered off to do laundry or pay bills. Season 5 i tried to ignore, but was lured in temporarily by the time travel.. which was awful and I escaped again.
I did not watch the season 6 premiere; knew I’d hear whether or not anything was actually going to happen.
I tuned in once or twice this season, but the only episode i didn’t turn off was the Locke one… but evn in that i wandered off ane checked email and just listened to see if anything happenned.
Since then, I’ve not seen it. Just come here, waiting for asomeone to say HEY whaddya know? It was kinda interesting. Looks like that is not gonna happen.
I’ve been a hater for years but in all honesty? i thought they maybe did have a good season 6 planned. Clearly not. What we thought was filler is the main course; what we though were plot points were easter eggs.
Long Con, indeed.
Boom
Lost.
Watching “Evil Dead 2″ on IFC right now. Man, this is WAY better than Lost. “Wood-shed…”
It’s “workshed,” you knuckle-dragging reprobate.
Effeminate screwhead!
I caught that after I typed it (I was a bit groggy, sorry). I didn’t bother correcting it because I never in a million years thought anybody would notice. Nice catch, and nice to know some of the other posters have taste as super-good as mine.
I hope I was in a bad mood or something because this was easily the worst episode since The Tattooed Man IMO.
Hated the Korean Newlywed story the first time around. Doing another version of it seems unusually cruel.
Also, how are any of the Widmore scenes from earlier seasons supposed to mesh with his (apparent) season 6 story of trying to save the world.
At this point I vote to release the smoke and be done with it all.
I’m hoping that the finale ends with a mind-blowingly-well-rendered, fifteen minute long CGI sequence of the black smoking eating all of the main characters. The final scene should be Lapidus and Tina Fey playing backgammon.
Nikki and Paulo playing backgammon…
BOOM!
dog poop.
“At this point I vote to release the smoke and be done with it all.”
Indeed. Release the smoke. Mass murder followed by smokey suicide.
They could just do 2 minutes of film, BOOM L O S T, and then 38 minutes of black. I’d probably stand up an applaud.
Or extend it out. Smoke Monster grabs Kate. Flings her 50 feet in the air. Grabs her half way down. Shakes her. Twirls around her. PILEDRIVER. Picks her up. Spink Kick into bambo. Down the Hatch.
Thank you, thank you all!!! I would love to do this but like with everything in life there are the rules, and that little kid told me I had to abide by them. I really liked it all untill the suicide thing came up. Come on guys gimme a break…..
“Also, how are any of the Widmore scenes from earlier seasons supposed to mesh with his (apparent) season 6 story of trying to save the world.”
Exactly. Or any of the Ben scenes.
Well hell, this episode was so fucking lame I don’t even know where to start. OK so there was some more crying. DOES SOMEFUCKINBODY HAVE TO BE A BALLING IN EVERY GODDAMN EPISODE? I guess so. Not much for plot developement. Boy like thats something new. Everything in the alt, side-B, sunken treasure island verse, we kinda already kmew. Boobs in bras don’t cut it. I wanna see nipples!!! So Sun was gonna go ahead and pay for Jin to get rubbed out. Thats kinda funny see, rub him out see, yeah. OK enough of the Eddy G. see. I just wonder how many more times we are gonna hafta sit through Osama Bin Sayid killing Kreamy Jeannie. And I guess its official now, the Smokeness Lockester has declared war. Well for shits sakes its about fucking time goddammit! They promised us war and I wanna see a bloody take no prisoners war!!!!! As far as the little garden scene, well kiss my ass how fuckin boring can you get, Jesus Christ get a goddamn soap opera for Christ’s sakes already. I only say that because I hate fucken Jack-ass with a passion, the little know it all spoiled rotten pissy little bitch!!! Haven’t never liked him. I put him and Kate in the same catagory, and its not a good one let me tell you what. So now we find out that “the package” aint nothing but that button pushing Desmond. Ole special “D” gonna fix everything by installing a button that you gotta push every two and a half minutes, so everybody has something to do and not care about anything else ever again. All in all it was a typical LOST episode. Very slow kinda shallow with hardly any plot movement. No BOOM moment what so ever. So there ya go. Thanks for all your support…..
LOL, tell us how you REALLY feel Smokie. I guess I’m so starved for realistic interaction between characters on this show I actually enjoyed the scene with Jack and Sun (and the tomato). Other than that, I’d say you are spot on.
You mean the fake tomato? You could actually see the line where the plastic mold connected.
Dude, I WISH my eyesight was that good HD or not.
“Haven’t never liked him.”
Doesn’t that mean you love him? Double negative? Now we know that SNL has a secret affection for Jack.

You were promoted to Major?
Congratulations!
I guess thats just the hillbilly in me. It comes sneaking out every once and again. Here I will make up for it with a coupla double positives. You goddamn fuckin A right. There ya go!!!!!
You’re my hero.
Every time the Tina Fey look-a-like shows up I can hear Tracy Morgan’s voice in my head going: “Liz Lemon!!!” I mean, they HAD to notice the resemblance when they cast her. It’s not just the glasses and frumpy clothes either. The scraggly hair, the lantern jaw, the badly shaped eye-brows. Did it not occur to them that this might be SLIGHTLY distracting to the audience? Or are they really trying to be funny?
I think it’s some sort of behind the scenes feud between the Lost writers and the 30 Rock writers…. who can write a “better a comedy” or some pissing contest like that.
I did find last week’s episode of 30 Rock to be more shocking and adventurous than this week’s episode of Lost. Maybe there is some truth to your theory.
When Michael makes his reappearance and yells out Liz Lemmmmmmmmmmon! instead of Waaaaaaalt! then I say Nico’s theory is as good as gold.
I’m waiting for an episode to verify that Jacob is good and Smokie is bad. That’s the picture they’ve been painting, but we haven’t seen either of them do anything that the other side wasn’t also willing to do. This confusion of the major conflict is echoed in the more minor conflict between Ben and Widmore:
Ben hates Widmore and Smokie. Widmore hates Ben and Smokie. Smokie hates Widmore and Jacob. Jacob hates Smokie and Widmore.
It would seem that none of the major or minor players have identified themselves as good or evil. What bold television this is.
The “V They Return” countdown was the most interesting thing about this episode. I kept my attention focused entirely on it the entire show and have to admit it was one of my favorite Lost shows in many seasons.
Wondering what the clock would do next after hitting 0:41:40 kept me in more suspense than the actual plot of this damned show since season 4 (P.S. and spoiler alert: The clock went to 0:41:39 for those that missed it).
I wonder if the clock works for Jacob or the Man in Black? Theories anyone?
the clock was a nice touch. it kept me from having to turn my head over and over to look at my clock to see how much the writers have squandered this week. i hate unintended exercise.
Oooooo, what’s locked in that room in the sub????
Oooooo, what’s The Package????
Oooooo, what’s Widmore got that’ll save us all from hell???
Such mystery!
Wait, it’s……….Desmond?
pffffffffffffffftttttttttt!

URL in the URL field above.
Or just click on my name.
Maybe I missed something, but after the Widmore Delta Force went into Camp Losties Two and shot tranquilizer darts at everyone, then abducted Jin, they showed Sawyer, Kate, Claire, et. al. lying around comatose — and then a few scenes later, they’re sitting around staring at each other like nothing happened! No urgency, no one is pissed off over what happened, just a casual mention to the Joke Monster that Jin was taken taken away by unknown attackers. So when they all marched menacingly out of the temple a few episodes ago, looking like they were going to storm the Bastille, they were really just looking for a quiet spot in the jungle to wait around like downer cows about to be slaughtered.
The only thing I enjoyed in the episode (other than the “V” countdown) was the opening scene when some Widmore flunky was looking at various losties through night goggles — for a brief moment, I thought that “Lost” had been preempted and I was watching “Predator”!
How is it that it seems like every single character on the show randomly bumps into almost every other character during the ubiquitous jungle treks, but yet the two people who desperately want to reunite generally just sit around in camps crying about their lost love one? Jin and Sun don’t deserve to be with each other if they’re not willing to walk a few hundred yards into the jungle and miraculously bump heads.
it’s mind boggling, isn’t it, how people still defend this show? to them every episode is just a means to an end, no matter how stupid the means is. considering we’ve sat through 6 seasons of means, i would think the fans would have higher standards for having so much of their time wasted.
O.K., I just have to post this. Robert Bianco is USA Today’s TV critic, and yesterday he dropped yet another love-bomb on Lost. To say that he’s completely in the tank is an understatement. Here are some selected quotes:
“Yes, every episode takes us one week closer to all those answers so many fans have fixated on since the series began. Yet it also brings us a step closer to losing a show that represents in so many ways the best of what broadcast TV can be and too seldom is.”
“But then, Lost has always been a series of paradoxes — a beautifully told, universally sound drama of personal redemption…”
“All of which is proof that TV is at its best when talented creators are given their head [this is not a typo. I have no idea what "given their head" means.] and allowed to produce the show they’ve envisioned. That method won’t always pan out; no artistic venture is ever a certain success. But when it does, you get an episode just like last week’s format-shifting experiment: a moving, mini-movie that provided answers and adventure in equal measure while being imbued with a sense of fun and hope, two qualities absent from so much of today’s angst-ridden fantasies.”
“As for me, I still have no idea whether those alternate “selves” will somehow unite, and no clue as to how the island’s electromagnetic forces and spiritual questions resolve… All I know is that I’m ever more eager to follow wherever the writers choose to lead.”
Let me repeat: This guy actually draws a salary as USA Today’s TV critic. Unbelievable.
Here’s the link to the whole article:

HACK. ‘Nuff said.
I believe ABC was shopping for a possible “Jin and Sun Show” for the fall lineup.
That Bianco asshole is one fucked up commercial dude, with his head up the network’s culo. The episode was so boring – I can hardly post anything here…
LOL! The title would be hilarious!
Daniel Kim is putting all his marbles in Hawaii 5-0 though.
“Maybe I missed something, but after the Widmore Delta Force went into Camp Losties Two and shot tranquilizer darts at everyone, then abducted Jin, they showed Sawyer, Kate, Claire, et. al. lying around comatose — and then a few scenes later, they’re sitting around staring at each other like nothing happened! No urgency, no one is pissed off over what happened, just a casual mention to the Joke Monster that Jin was taken taken away by unknown attackers.”
My standards have sunken so low that I didn’t even notice this.
Why is it that a precursor to introducing new others is to pussify the current others?
I haven’t seen the episode yet but LMFAO it’s called ‘the package’ AHAHAHAHA
Completely boring, 100% filler. Even the comments here are boring. Alt universe was one part story we’ve already scene (Pulp Fiction Lost) and one part upteenth variation on the Jin loves Sun theme. On the island they moved some pieces around, lots of dramatic music, nothing really happened, nothing really was explained.
Jin actually asked a follow up question, “How?” which was probably the most shocking thing in this episode. And of course the answer was…Desmond?!? So once again, no answer.
This is one of my favorite Lost techniques. The answer to question x is…character y (who we already know) without any explanation as to why he is the answer. The fanboys cream their pants that character y is back, and are distracted from the fact that no answer has been given. The follow up to this technique was illustrated perfectly by Richard in this ep. A week after we learned that “Ricardus” has the answers, it turns out he doesn’t know shit and his big idea is to blow up the plane. Thus by the time it is clear that character y does not have the answer, the original question is forgotten. And the merry-go-round keeps moving round and round.
This is pretty much how every Lost character has been introduced since season 2. They come in spouting cryptic wisdom like they know all the answers, we find out their retarded backstory, it turns out they don’t know shit, and then they automatically join the ensemble of uselessness with everyone else (see Desmond, Juliet, Ben, Miles, Ilana, Richard). It’s just a matter of how long the writers stretch out the process for each character.
What kills me, is that it is so clear that the very point of this show is to stretch it out. That’s it. It’s not a means to an end. There is no rhyme or reason. It’s the point of the show. Yet fanboys and critics alike lap this shit up. I don’t get it.
One other point. Smokey needs to get all the remaining candidates together to leave the island, why? Is that like Ben needing to get all the oceanic 6 back together to go back?
That’s a good question, but right now we need to drop everything and hike over to the other side of the island.
Well he needs them to leave so there won’t be a replacement for Jacob so he can leave.
Of course why the O6 had to return will never be explained.
They had to return to keep the CORK in the bottle…
A plane? Honestly? There are mystical ‘rules’ to be followed, but you can hop a 21st century plane and get out of there?
I like how everybody thinks that this airplane, after crash landing on a runway rivalling those found in war-torn countries, would still have any semblance of air-worthiness to fly out on. Not to mention the fact that it’s wedged in nicely into the sand, and can’t in no way back out on its own and do a 180 to somehow taxi and take off on said short and hastily done runway.
What about jet fuel, you ask? You silly goose, the producers have EVERYTHING planned from the start. There’s a D.I. station (unseen before because nobody was looking for it) that stores jet fuel, for when flying into and out of the island finally becomes feasible. So there, never ask me that again!
But that doesn’t matter right now, because what we’ll likely see is a cheap CGI of the plane exploding from a distance. I’d like to further elaborate, but I don’t have time for that now, for I must be walking through the jungle in a few. *gun cock*
Boom.
BAD ROBOT
(voice-over)
Next week, on LOST – The time for questions is over!
The whole issue of the plane being in such sad shape has been bugging everybody here it seems. It’s just one of those things like “why aren’t these people starving to death by now?” that I don’t bother asking. As you pointed out, there’s no way that jumbo jet would have ever landed safely on a runway in that condition in the first place. After you suspend your disbelief for that long, I guess the writers figure you’ll buy into anything.
Does anyone find it weird that a semi-god is going to use a plane to get off the island? Why didn’t he just swim off the island?
I agree, considering it is quite obvious he can’t die. Swim little Smokie swim. What if he gets ate by a shark?????
Why not just walk along the bottom of the ocean?
Give him a break. The man has hydrophobia. Which is why Jacob lived near the ocean (remember MIB had to hold Ben’s hand to even gather enough courage to go to the statue’s foot
).
If not for the fact that he “knew” that Desmond and Charlie were going to sink it., Jacob probably would have lived in the Hydra station to escape MIB,
You see if this were Red Dwarf, the survivors would just go out and trade with the GELFs to rent a crane to lift the airplane out and of course replace the Oxy-generation unit.
Or they could could all take drinks from a vial containing the “luck virus” and instantaneously a “time paddle” would appear and they could transport themselves to whatever era in history they desire. Then they could visit the “Backwards Planet” and rewind back to Season One when the show was still good. Jack will amputate his own arm when Zombie Kate infects him with the Epideme virus only to have the arm rebuilt by nanobots devloped by the Dharma Project. Then, in a bit of comic relief, Hurley smashes the “Talkie Toaster” during a frustrating question and answer session involving bagels, crumpets, and tea cakes. Finally, in a shocking conclusion, it is revealed that all of the Losties’ experiences were part of an elaborate illusion caused by the “Despair Squid” who has made them all think they were playing a virtual reality game.
I’m always hoping they’ll have a slow motion scene with Hurley running on the beach with his big boobs jiggling up and down, sorta like Bo Derek in Ten.
That would be the icing on the cake…
Heh,
Remember when the Others shot darts at everybody out of nowhere? Now they are the ratards getting darted.
Ya, but next week, Desmond is going to get his posse of other other other other other others and dart the shit out of Widmore and his other other other other others
No doubt.
Other what?????
others
I tell you the retards who write this shit must be reading whylostsucks.
“Unless he’s covered in bacon grease, Hurley can’t track anybody.”
I have to say again, that “…covered in Dharma (TM) brand ranch dressing” would have been WAY funnier. They might as well play it for yucks at this point.
“Come with me, I think it’s time for you to see the package”
I used that line on Jennifer early in our relationship. It works well with most women. It gets their curiosity up, they follow you to your bedroom, then BOOM, you drop your trousers and reveal the package.
I wonder if Jin will fall for it and go with Widmore to take a look at his package.
That’s a classic along the lines of the ‘ole “cutting a hole in the bottom of the popcorn bucket” trick. Good times… good times…
The Locke Ness Smokester is just like the deity in Abrahamic religions. He doesn’t want to send them to hell, but does so anyway if they don’t follow him.
Is there anything in the bible about using an intermediary to speak to your people. Playing this game Neverhood, and it’s all religious, and it has sort of a Richard character
He is an Angel. Some christian religions believe that God never talked to any body that wasn’t perfect. Jesus, Adam & Eve were the only humans that God ever directly talked to. Anybody else the message was actually delivered by Angels…..
In some Talmudic and apocryphal Jewish and Christian texts the Metatron is an Archangel who is “the voice of God”. The idea being that the average human being wouldn’t survive hearing the voice of God directly, let alone be worthy of the experience. If you’ve ever seen the film Dogma, the Metatron is a major character.
Sawyer’s got it right. “No cos that’d be ridiculous”.
More meta bullshit. Fuck ‘em.
There’s no way enough pylons fit in the sub to surround all of Hydra island.
I thought the exact same thing.
You could actually see the pylons end if you looked far enough down the beach.
Common sense leads one to infer that the pylons encircle the entire island.
Can’t Sun just get Mikhail to fill out the necessary paperwork to recover the monies from the airport?
When something like that happens in reality it usually takes months, if not years to recover the money. Often times, even though no crime was committed money confiscated for ANY reason is NEVER returned. State and Federal governments make it easy to take away your money for the purposes of “an investigation”, yet REALLY difficult to get it back. Of course, that’s because they’re in back whacking it up to pay for a new speedboat.
Hm, so I take it the package in the supersecret room in the sub is Desmond. Or Christian.
Of course idiot Jin doesn’t realize guns have a range and doesnt stand several meters behind Mikhail while threatening him.
So the only plot advancement in these 42 minutes was that Desmond was on the sub and has the magical power to stop Lockie, a power he did not posess before.
Powers to stop MIB, a character that Lost did not possess before?
Yeah but Smokie was there all along.
Yeah, but I’m not entirely sure the writers decided Smokie could take man-form until season 6.
My shorthand version of Why Lost Sucks.
Last night I was watching a scene with a pregnant woman in a meat locker. A fight broke out, and either it was very poorly filmed, or I was more interested in the countdown clock in the right corner that let me know this mess would be over soon, but when a shot rang out, I wasn’t sure if the pregnant chick had been shot in the hand or (gasp!) the belly.
I reached for my DVR remote to rewind it 10 seconds and see if I could get a better look, but when my arm was about halfway down, I thought, “Who really cares?” and turned the channel. In retrospect, you have to do a LOT of work to devalue your main characters so much that your average viewer doesn’t care if a pregnant chick just took a bullet in the gut.
Countdown clock is a GREAT idea though. They should have them at the dentist’s office as well.
Your name made me want to go watch a far better, far superior show.
DOes anybody remember how Nappa, or Captain Pike knew Werner Heisenberg#s real name?
Pardon me for asking, but what show is that? I thought Werner Heisenberg was a physicist.
Indeed, but Heisenberg is the street name of Walter White, husband, father, lung cancer patient, chemistry teacher, crystal meth synthesizer in Breaking Bad.
Ahhh… I don’t watch that, though I’ve heard it’s good and I do like Brian Cranston.
Jack -> Sun: I had a patient once who had aphasia, then one of the nurses said…blah blah
why not just say “it occured to me that you could perhaps write in english”
Jacob -> Retardo Alpert: This bottle is the island. I am the cork. *Turns it upside down*
why not just say “I prevent the black smoke from leaving the island.”
Why is it that all these characters feel to converse in such an obscure fashion and make their point with some stupid example.
All that artsy stuff is pointless when we want some clear, concise answers. The show is pointless. Like everyone here, I vote smokey smokes everyone.
look. they’re all poets, okay? that’s why they’re either homeless beach bums, or unibombers living in the woods.
OK.. I’m in a foreign country…
with an all powerful father…
I’m knocking some boots with a guy I shouldn’t be…
There’s a knock on my hotel door?
Oh ok.. Let me open that right up without looking through the peep hole.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?
For that matter; how the fuck did Sun and Jin NOT figure out this was a set up in the first place. It was pretty obvious to me, and I’m not even that smart…
To my defense I was stoned
Always a fine defense for anything, as far as I’m concerned.
It’s good to see Sun is as much a whore in this Universe as the other.
I agree. For a demure Korean lady of good breeding, she certainly seems to have a penchant for spreading her legs at inappropriate times. Fairly stereotypical portrayal of the repressed Asian woman with the heart of a two dollar hooker.
In five episodes we get, “Across the Sea”, which apparently focuses on Jacob and the MiB.
Five episodes.
Five episodes of people meandering around like a bunch of clueless idiots stumbling across each other and not revealing anything, all under ridiculous circumstances.
But then it’ll get good.
Yea?…..Will It?
Ummm… no, it won’t.
OK dude whatever you say. As for me I just aint a gonna get my hopes up because seeing is believing. I sure haven’t seen anything that even remotely reflects good in a looooooong time now…..
Last week it was a hispanic guy killing for expensive white powder. This week its an asian putting on a ping pong show. So Sun got some stunt tits out, but really when I see an asian stripping I at least expect to see her shoot darts or pull razor blades out of her snatch. Although I guess Hooker Hill in Itaewon is pretty tame compared to Pattaya’s Walking Street. Its nice to see Jack Osbourne has gotten some acting work now alongside the poor-man’s Tina Fey.
Oh, it’s better than Jack Osbourne my friend. That guy you’re talking about played Kate’s son on the 80’s sitcom staple “Kate & Allie”. I rule.
He was also the neo-nazi’s son on OZ. Now lackey #47, badass with cheeks grandma just wants to squeeze.
No shit, dude looks like a chipmunk with the mumps. He has one of those faces that look perpetually child-like no matter how thick their beard gets. Creepy…
Final episode title “Sun and the Giant Tomato”.
In the first 5 minutes Sun finds out that she is adopted and her real parents were actually from the Dharma initiative and were gobbled up by the test polar bears years ago. She goes to her garden to think and discovers another tomato on one of her vines. Then as everybody knows, if you want good tomatoes you pee on them. Days pass and she realises that her magical ‘candidate’ pee is making the tomato grow and grow and grow! She’s geeting sick of all the evil people keeping her and Jin apart but is powerless to do anything. One day she goes to her garden and sees that the tomato is the size of a house! Not only that, her magical pee has made giant anthropomorphic insects that encourage her to get her husband back and get off the island. The giant Earwig chews through the stem and the tomato rolls around squashing the all of the island’s inhabitants except MIB and Jin. The giant Earwig recognises smokie and invites the old caterpillar on the journey, but only if he gets Jin to come along. Then the rag-tag bunch go on a grand adventure and wind up in Central Park. Their sun-dried tomato becomes their home – right next door to a hollowed out peach stone.
BOOM
That sounds utterly terrifying.
That is quite terrifying!
however i’d like to point out a couple of things:
1 – Hurley would never let the tomato get that big. By the time that thing got to the size of a beach ball he’d slather it in dharma ranch dressing and gobble that baby up.
2 – The tomato would probably fly off while Jin was taking a piss in the woods leaving Sun to constantly ask the insects “where’s my husband?” They would probably get sick of it after a couple of minutes of flight and boot her and her fake titties off the ride.
Fuck that episode sucked. I need to get stronger weed.
Stop sending soldiers to the island. We know the usual two step:
1)soldiers terrorize inhabitants
2)inhabitants steam roll over soldiers
Epic Sun fail moments:
-Unprovoked spaz attack after Ilana speech.
-fake boobs
-running full speed into tree.
-Generally having the expressive capabilities of a lamp.
-being ugly
Where do you find plastic on an island to wrap your gun in? And I thought glocks were waterproof. And what’s with the brick size tazers? Didn’t they have the mini ones. What do Keemy and the others have to do with anything? And why do they keep killing off the characters? Is it mere coincidence that this show has taken a turn for the religious and Keemy is playing Gabrielle in The Legion. Finally some action. Sayid pulls a Martin Sheen and sneaks into their base. Time for some ass kicking. Your ass is goi
L O S T
Hey WTF? Why end like that. At least shoot someone. Anyone.
Under epic Sun fail moments, you could also include: inability to grow tomatoes on a tropical island. I live in Chicago and the damn things take over my whole garden within 2 months of it breaking 80 degrees.
Dude no offense, but don’t give out so much personal information online, psychos like Infected might come lookin for you
Anybody who comes looking for me will find me well armed and angry.
I didn’t have time to read all the comments, so if I repeat something sorry.
The only part I liked in this episode was the last five seconds when they showed Desmond; he and Terry are the only people I like there. However, the problem with Terry is that now he has to play “The Smokinator” (come with me if you want a reunion), which is like playing a Greek god, that is, aloof, overbearing and manipulative, but instead of having a booming voice, his (and Jacob’s) are soft and soothing – like of a pedo trying to lure you into his van. Unfortunately, this kind of a character doesn’t really offer much opportunity to show off one’s acting chops.
BTW I think it’s the kind of acting we’ll see Liam Neeson doing this week in “Clash Of The Titans” (Can’t wait for the porn version “Clash of the titties”, with the signature line “unleash the fucken”).
- Now, why does Widmore using pylons prove that he knows a lot more about Smokey? Jacob could have just given the specification to the Others, saying: “Build a fence to keep the monster away, and don’t ask any questions”. And even if it somehow proves that Widmore knows more, why is Smokey surprised? Wasn’t Widmore an Other? Why wouldn’t he know?
- Widmore saying “…will cease to exist” instead of “will die”, leads me to suspect that the situation where two universes exist cannot last for long, and eventually one of them must perish. So basically, the B-verse is Smokey-verse and the A-verse is Jacob’s, and the Losties will have to choose which one should continue to exist.
But maybe this ending is too coherent, so I don’t know.
- Someone already mentioned the similarity of the B-storyline to a Tarantino’s movie, and it’s very much true. It is very similar, style-wise, to ‘Pulp Fiction’ – a non linear storyline, telling the same story from different angles, a guy tied up in a locked room (at least they didn’t “make him squeal”), who is saved by Sayid-Willis. I can see Sayid driving on Keamy’s motorcycle, and then when Nadia asks him “what happened to Keamy?” he says: “Keamy got Creamy-ed, baby, Keamy got Creamy-ed”
- The Sun-Jin storyline just doesn’t make sense. I mean, why not send Jin to a third world country where he can be made “disappear” very easily, and instead send him to a western country? Why not send him alone instead of sending him with your own daughter? And I’m quite positive that Sun, having seen Keamy and his gang of merry men, will not go to the police to testify against them after they’ve killed her LOVER.
I must move to S. Korea, it seems that you don’t have to be particularly smart to become a multimillionaire there.
Adios, sayonara, au revoir, shalom, and ta-ta.
“I mean, why not send Jin to a third world country where he can be made “disappear” very easily, and instead send him to a western country? Why not send him alone instead of sending him with your own daughter? And I’m quite positive that Sun, having seen Keamy and his gang of merry men, will not go to the police to testify against them after they’ve killed her LOVER.”
The fact that this idiocy didn’t bother me when I saw it makes me doubt my own intellect. :s
I believe the idea was that he was trying to teach her a lesson. That still wouldn’t explain the whole idea of sending them to LA. Why not send them to Thailand or somewhere else in SE Asia? It’s closer, and I’m sure their CSI people suck ass.
“…will cease to exist” instead of “will die”, leads me to suspect that the situation where two universes exist cannot last for long, and eventually one of them must perish. So basically, the B-verse is Smokey-verse and the A-verse is Jacob’s, and the Losties will have to choose which one should continue to exist.
Once again, can anybody say: Donnie Darko?
Also $20,000 cash through customs. The customs officer had no interpreter and let a non american breaking customs law with no explanation go on through no problem, just keeping the money.
Oh, ya – just let him go.
Next week, Sun gets hit in the head again and regains her ability to speak English, but she’s blind! Then she gets hit ahead, and can see, but is deaf! Then she gets hit again and can hear and see, but doesn’t remember who she is!
Then she gets it again and wets herself every time somebody says her name…
It’s unbelievable how the most unrealistic events occur, and Jack says “it could be a case of aspergers/fugue/diarrhea”
This show has become so messed up that the only way they’ll be able to explain it in the finale is with a huge flowchart and and hand puppets.
I know I say this a lot, but THAT I would watch.
Sounds good.You see, we don’t deserve anything less.
Oh, by the way – was the spring premier of V on last night?
I’m pretty sure I heard that it was, but how in the world was one supposed to remember to watch it? Hmmmm… if only the networks would come up with some kind of totally obtrusive on-screen graphic to remind us during the show that proceeds it. I think about 10 commercials per hour of programming would help remind us too.
So that’s what that RED V was on the screen during the whole fucking episode… Thanks. I should have figured it out. Maybe they should have made it LARGER.
Lost is like Obamacare. It promises that it will deliver the goods, but in the end you will end up getting screwed.
OK Glenn Beck… that was weak, LOL.
youtube.com/watch?v=nIm6bSlA5Zw
Thank you for the injection of your fine conservative family values, Marty. You’re just as insightful as when Jack broke the mirror and stared at the ocean afterwords…
I really hope they don’t show angry Sun again. It’s really not her best look…
I thought so too. I was amazed at how cute she looked at the end of the episode when they let her smile. Otherwise she looks more constipated than angry.
She looked like a librarian when she was unbuttoning her shirt.
I’m sure this has been posted here before but check out this URL
http://www.film.com/tv/lost/story/why-lost-sucks-this-season/26764805
The lady who wrote the article is complaining about all the stupid plot twists and read the comments from the fanbois. She gets lambasted!
That is fucking brutal. The level of zealotry that the hardcore fans show is just plain SCARY. I give the author credit for putting that article up on a mainstream media site. Perhaps she should of posted it here instead.
One more thought: The way Lost fans act like you must be STUPID if you don’t like the show, because you JUST DON’T GET IT; reminds me of adults who think reading Harry Potter books makes them smart and well read. It’s just an excuse for stupid people to feel like they are somehow intellectual equals or superiors to the rest of us. Of course, if any of you love Harry Potter books- I mean everybody EXCEPT you.
I was just about to speak to that point. I used to watch Lost with the idea in the back of my mind that there was a single explanation for all of this and if you pondered it hard enough you would figure it out.
I thought that you could THINK your way through the series.
When you finally take the red pill and realize that there is no singular logical scientific explanation, it all becomes laughable.
Exactly my thoughts. I think that was written around season 5 time. In about 6 episodes my guess is that more than a few of them will be eating their words when 99% of this shit isn’t explained.
“hint: The Three Toed Statue is a dead give away.”
What the fuck? Am I missing something?
The other toe…..
Just watched this episode online and am a bit jealous I didn’t get the V countdown clock. I actually would prefer watching V (or the clock) to this episode and I thought V was as cheesy as it got. I actually click the “Stay on this Ad” button so that I can savor the commercial before returning to the train wreck.
My main beef with this episode is that 1. it was pretty boring outside of Sun’s tits and that was shattered as soon as someone on here said they were a body double. 2 as others have mentioned, 80% of the flash sideways was wasted filler that basically showed different camera angles of a story we already have seen. 3. Who didn’t expect Desmond – you knew he was going to return – he is the “constant” afterall and probably going to be the one that stays on the island at the end of the show. Maybe Penney will stay with him and they can be like king and queen.
I was sick of the flash sideways before the 1st one even started and don’t even care at this point if it all ties together. I am starting to feel like the writers et. al just wrote things in (starting with the polar bears and smoke monster in season 1) because they were cool and figured they would tie it all together “later”. Let’s add a whole bunch of disparate plot points, flash directionals, time travel, groups of others and worry about tying it together in a later season. Shit it’s only season 2, we’ll have time. 4 seasons later, they are like FUDGE – only they didn’t say fudge. How can we tie all this together?
Well… shit we can’t, so let’s not try. The fanbois will love whatever we do regardless and the trolls will troll regardless. So they’ve given up on tying it all together. They figure they will leave the ending open enough so that lost-i-pedia can come to its own conclusion given the tidbits they leave them and the fanbois will have something to argue about for the next 20 years until they ressurect the series in a highly publicized made for TV movie called Lost – The Conclusion where more questions will be raised, guns cocked, jungles trekked, groups of others introduced and nothing will be answered but they will make millions more in advertising money.
On an unrelated point
I must be confused because I thought smokey was the man in black. They were one in the same. Well if that’s the case why isn’t Titus Welliver playing the smoke monster in the “present” time? The actor obviously is signed on because he is doing the flash backs, so why is Terry O Quinn the modern smoke monster? Is it because they really like his acting and didn’t want to get rid of him on the show?
To rectify the universe, “present” Jacob should be played by Charlie who also died. This way – we can have both good and evil played by characters that were once islanders, because that makes a lot of sense, in a lost-y sort of way.
I’m assuming the smoke monster can take the form of any dead person. Locke is the current one so he can move among the candidates more easily. Of course, if I was a candidate and I KNEW Locke was dead and this was just some horrible monster inhabiting his body; I would run screaming from him in much the way that Sun did. The Lost writers never let realistic human behavior get in the way of serving their lame excuse for a plot.
I mean shit if that’s the case then smoke monster should just take the form of someone else that’s dead since no one trusts Smoke-Locke at this point and know he’s the smoke monster.
He comes back in the form of Rosseau or another chick that died acts like he has no idea where (s)he is or what (s)he’s doing, and more easily manipulates the people.
Makes too much sense.
Illona said a while back that Smokie can’t change anymore because Jacob was dead. Now that makes a whole kot of sense eh?????
I guess the PBR tall-boys were doing their job when that scene played out. I don’t remember that at all.
They still make Pabst Blue Ribbon?????
Hells yeah. Might be hard to find outside of the Midwest.
It now has the Darma logo on it.
I have decided to come clean and admit I still love Lost. Infected was right, I post constantly on The Fuselage under my real internet handle: “KateIsGreat69″. I only come here to spread confusion and use my amazing Alinsky tactics on you all. Screw all yous guys.
BOOM!
Bad Robot
Now that IS some funny shit there, I tell you what…..
Please note today’s date (at least here in CST). APRIL FOOLS!
Kinda cheesy but funny in its own right…..
“Cheesy” is my middle name… well, actually it’s Robert but…
Its actually CDT (daylight time) Get it right!
Now your starting to sound like Plimp…..
Wasn’t there something mentioned prior to season 6 about how the producers said that no previews could be shown because a single frame from season 6 would reveal too much?
Well I do think that some of it will be explained. The thing is that it will be explained right into lamesville. The whole convoluted piece of shit show, in no possible way can be explained to even the satisfaction of a retarded ape. Let alone anybody with half a brain. Here is some more shit. Now I thought that in the alt, side-B, sunken treasure island verse, that Peg Bundy asked Johnny the cripple, if he was going to ask his dad to come to the wedding. So what fucken gives there? Does this mean that his daddy didn’t push him out the window? If not, then how did he wind up crippled? If he did do it, why the hell aint he in jail for at least five to ten for attempted murder? Oh yes, the fucken bobsy twins (Sawyer & Miles) probably were the investigators. “Son of a bitch Miles, I bet he tripped and out the window he went,” And Miles tells Sawyer “Ya ya, I can see that.” Stupid fucking clowns anyways! Better explination then we will get from them I bet…..
They have to explain some of it – or at least attempt to. The major problem which we have all come to realize is that there is absolutely no (sound/logical) explanation that will be followed by BOOM that will answer (almost) every question. I would be happy if some things were left mysteries as long as you could plausibly extrapolate an explanation based on the premise you were left with.
The sad thing is that they literally had an entire season to explain away at least 50% of these things – even if the explanations sucked it would be a better attempt then what I think is going to happen which is basically ending the series with some major revalation that will be crazy enough to explain away the rest of the bullshit by its very nature. It won’t be as bad as “oh it was all a dream” but it will probably be along those lines as far as how all encompassing (and cheesy) it can be
Also – the thing I’ve noticed about these flash sideways is that certain things are *almost* like they were in the original time line, but with different causes or slightly different outcomes. Like you brought up – Locke in the wheelchair. But then some things are almost opposite e.g. Sawyer the cop. And some things are just there because they seemed cool. Like Rose at the employment agency (still has or had cancer) and the ghost whisperer as Sawyer’s partner (what possible reason for this?)
All of the things that they have introduced in the flash sideways alone would require an entire season to explain. So basically you can assume that there will be no explanation for these. Let alone all of the mysteries from the previous 5 seasons that we have been hoping for answers to.
So essentially all the flash sideways are filler – since we can’t get any other explanation then this is another “thread” of reality and just one of the many permutations of life. Similar to string theory. Well that means we could have had 10 zillion other flash sideways – each equally irrelevant in telling the story they started. FILLER.
This is why I don’t mind if a “rogue” wave destroyed the statue. At least its an answer (albeit a minor one, and an extremely lame one). Hell, I can think of a much better answer (the smoke monster, in a fit of rage tore down Jacob’s home) than the one Lost gave us. But getting down to the crux of it, we still don’t know how or why the statue or any other ancient structure was built, we still don’t know if Dharma has tried to return to the island after being on the losing end of a genocide, we don’t know how the “others” (Faraday’s mom) are in control of the station which allowed Dharma to find the island in LA, we don’t know how the food drop occured 12 years after Dharma was on the island, we don’t know WHY the others value the island so much, hell we don’t know exactly WHO the others are! Do they just live there because “Jacob brought them” or what is there significance? Furthermore, what is to make of Jacob/Smokey’s battle. So basically Smokey is trapped on the island (because he’s “evil”, maybe?????) unless he can find a “loophole” in which to kill Jacob and do a bunch of other things according to the “rules” which the writers make up on their own for their own purposes……..so all Jacob has to do is prevent any exterior people from coming to the island which shouldn’t be hard considering the island can move and operates outside the normal spacetime continuum. But no, to be such a progressive, advanced guy, Jacob is also part of a bet w/ Smokey in which good dude Jacob tries to prove mankind is inherently good and can be redeemed. Since on the show this represents “good” despite being as anti-rational, western, Christian of a thought as can be for an American TV show, whatever. I can deal w/ this pseudo-ideological battle for the time being, at least if both sides truly believe their own arguments. But they don’t….Jacob repeatedly violates his “free will” thoughts, and Smokey uses people’s good intentions against them, thus being more deceitful then Jacob. And how does Jacob prove himself correct, anyway? When is mankind absolved from its nature to “lie, cheat, corrupt, destroy” ???? When is mankind truly redeemed in his view? When someone doesn’t cock their gun? When someone doesn’t tell a lie to deceive the audience???? I mean, the WHOLE reason for the show and for everyone coming to the island is for some lame ideological debate and to find a “candidate”????
Back to my original point. If LOST answers questions, even in some lame irrational manner, I will have no beef w/ what I’m given. I might not agree w/ the show’s opinions/findings on human nature, but I’ll atleast be happy w/ resolution. But if the only answers we get are ancillary ones like the statue being destroyed by a tsunami, ones people have answered w/ much better theories, then I will feel cheated (as I have been for the past few seasons)…
I used to hate the show purely for Kate. Last episode she had 30 seconds of airtime and I still hated it. Not even the best character (Desmond) can redeem this pile of mess. Actually, I’m pissed Desmond will have to die (probably) as a sacrafice for the sins of the majority of the character of the show. I know its Easter season and Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) played Jesus in a movie once, but why can’t Desmond live in peace w/ his wife and kid??? Can’t the one good character still alive on the show have a happy ending???? Why does lost F up everything it touches…?????
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT
Boom.

BAD ROBOT!
Next week on Lost…..
We find out Hurley’s Alt live is screwed up after a botched liposuction surgery. He has horrendous scarring and weighs twice as much as he used to, but simultaneously still dates Libby who is tragically murdered by AltMichael during a drug deal gone bad. Charlie insults Hurley in his petulant British way after Hurley won a backstage pass to a Drive Shaft concert but was caught eating all the band’s food in the green room.
On the island, Hurley is told by ghost Jacob that “he has work to do” right before a commercial. When we come back from said commercial, Hurley is leading an island expedition to a (previously) unknown locale w/ Jack and Sun who now has a nominal ability to speak English again. What’s odd is that she can only utter “where’s Jin” in English, but this doesn’t stop the trio from there endeavors. Sawyer and Kate get another 30 seconds of staring at each other, with Sawyer informing Kate more on his plans to escape. “We’ll hijack the sub with a cocked gun like in the season 5 finale and have the captain drive(?) it away” thus answering the buring question LOST fans have as to how Sawyer can pilot a submarine. Unfortunately for Sawyer, while on the sub dead Juliet will show up as a ghost and tell him he can’t leave the island b/c he “has work to do”. When Hurley makes it to his destination, which is nothing but a 5 star beach resort unknown and undiscovered to the Losties before now, it will prove to have been yet another diversion, as Jacob needed to get the trio away so he could try to bang Ilana. Unfortunately, Jacob is a ghost and can’t make any physical contact w/ her, but he channels Rose to do it for her. Vincent shows up again, thus increasing the average IQ of the characters by 30%. If you’re still reading by now, God bless you…
OKnow, I just want this for the record. If anything weird happens to me, just remember Plimp is my constant. Where the hell is he anyways?????
Maybe Infected locked him in a walk in, like Toothy McGee did to Jin.
OH, NO!!!!! Goddammit that caught me off gaurd. I bet you are right though. That fucken Infected never did like him. GODDAMNFUCKENSONOFABITCH!!!!!!!!!! I WILL GET YOU INFECTED!!!!! MARK MY WORDS GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!
I’m still so stunned by the Sun hitting her head and forgetting how to speak English thing I’m having trouble coping today. It’s all I can think about. I can barely believe it happened. The actual plot point I mean.
Did I see it right?
-Sun is frightened by Locke so she runs from him but not toward the beach which is close and where her friends are but she runs away from the beach into a big empty field. Why would she do that? Why Sun?! Why did you do that?
-Except the field isn’t empty. There’s ONE tree in the middle of it and Sun doesn’t notice the tree and runs smack into it with her forehead because she’s looking backward while running. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the physics of it.
-Then she can’t speak English anymore! But she can understand English just fine. At this point I’m not quite sure I’m still in the real world because I can’t quite believe the writers could even conceive of something so insanely stupid.
-Hours later Jack hands Sun a pad of paper and a pen and tells her about a patient who had the same condition but he could write and sure enough, Sun can still write in English! Except she can only write one word at a time at first and slowly and the letters are really big so she can only present one word answers.
-Maybe it was Jack’s fault because he gave her a little tiny notepad and a big magic marker to write on it with. Why would he do that? Why not a ballpoint pen or a pencil or a bigger pad of paper? Why Jack?! Why did you do that?
Now I’m angry and sad and confused just thinking about it. I feel like the writers lifted up the top of my skull and punched my mind in the gut a few times with this insanity.They got me good. I won’t say they’ve broken my spirit but I’m not the man I was before that’s for sure.
The rest of the show is mostly a blur. Jin something with Keamy…..I can feel the headache coming back.
The last scene, Sayid’s swarthy face emerges from the inky depths into the dank night air. He swims quietly, like a jelly fish toward the dock, two men drag Desmond down the dock but he falls, face down over the water where his eyes meet Sayid’s. Desmond looks surprised at first, then incredulous then angrily confused as if he’s thinking the same thing I am, that this isn’t really happening, that the writing can’t be really be so fucked up that it would include this scene in the script yet here we all are watching it!
I don’t know guys. I don’t know if I have the fortitude to watch the rest of the remaining episodes. I just don’t know if I can take any more.
The sad thing is that this ludicrous plot point sets expectations so low (even among Lost apologists) that any development of it at all will be lauded as masterful. One commentator on the Slate website probably has it right — that Sun not speaking English in present reality was caused by a crossover from Alt Reality (triggered by the blow to the head) where she can’t speak English at all, similar to Jack’s surgery scar and some other things I can’t remember. When it’s made explicit, I expect that, in Infected’s words, there will “fanboi ejaculate spewing all all over the blogosphere.”
They will say, “See Lost haters, this wasn’t just a lame ‘Gilligan gets hit on the head with a coconut and loses his memory’ isolated incident, it was part of the writers’ grand scheme from Day 1, see how it all ties in? The always knew what they were doing. . .”
Don’t fall for the set up.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE V COUNTDOWN CLOCK!!!!!
You seem to know so much Tommyj6168…It’s almost as if you know what’s gonna happen next..tell me more…
Don’t listen to him.
Tommy has always seemed to have a gift for getting inside the Lost writer’s heads. He is a talented fellow.
Tommy’s okay. Don’t listen to Infected.
I was being serious, actually.
I think it’s more incredulous that there’s a working sharpie on the island let alone a pad of paper. I know I always fly with a sharpie just in case I crash then a fellow survivor bumps her head and can’t speak English anymore. Good lord this show sucks.
CPT(P) Preevyet
Oh you’ll be watching to last possible second Plimp…Call it a hunch..I don’t think LOST has filled your deep hole quite yet…
Botox said on kimmel she’s still on the show. My guess is she’s Jack’s alternate world ex wife/mother of his child.

Thank you Tyler! I thought the site was gone for good.
Tyler. Do you still own this URL or not? I keep getting the godaddy webpage when I try to come to this one.
I’ll send you a check if you need to pay to renew the URL.
We are back!
Here’s the deal guys. The domain expired yesterday. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to pony up the $15 to renew for another year. I actually decided to let it go since the show was ending, but then changed my mind. I mean where would all of us poor bastards go to post about how sucky the big finale is going to be without this place? I couldn’t leave my peeps hanging. So there you go, whylostsucks.com will live for one more year. And then it will die an abrupt and anti-climatic death, much like one of our beloved lost characters. Enjoy!
And we’re back…
THE MAAAAAAAAN
Should’ve donated the $15 to the Lost CGI dept. They need the cash badly.
Lost spoiler. Desmond resonates like a Tesla coil.
I thought it was an April fool’s joke :-p.
Man, if you would have boned us like that so close to the finish line I would have been PISSED. Thank you for letting common sense prevail.
Thanks. A lot.
It would have been sad if the show lasted longer than this site.
How poetic. Thanks.
I would stab my mom to death, and then play around with her blood before I would ever do anything to Tyler.
How about killing Jacob for me?????
Fuckin Tyler!!!!! You sadistic fuck, some April fools joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, I never even thought of that until now. It did happen to fall on Apr 1 !
Thanks Tyler for blah blah blah…
Ms. Paik has some healthy small breasts…that’s all I wanted to say…
I also have no problem with members of the IBTC. It can be a very good look.
Mikhail should have taken his $25,000 in flesh and body fluid…Aww that’s harsh…
I, I mean Matthew Fox was awesome this episode…Loved his beach scene with Ms. Paik, who I’m guessing isn’t the candidate…Guys who look like a Bruce Lee silhouette when Keamy’s goon opens the bathroom door…That’s a candidate…That was the most badass Jin has ever looked…I thought he was gonna go crane-style on the arab dude…
You seem to really like the guys in the show? Don’t rub so hard.
Yeah that’s why my first comment was on Ms Paik’s BREASTS…Jesus Wallflower, atleast be a good double-agent troll…I’d kid around with you if you had any talent…
You can’t out troll me bro..I’m like so much more sophisticated and clever with my word usage…But keep trying to succinctly modify the merits of my methodical malfeasance mutherfucker…

I appreciate the offer, I really do! I would think by now you would have figured out that I am a jobless hillbilly kinda stuck in my ways. Besides you know the old saying about old dogs and new tricks. As for the ….. thats kinda my signature, kinda like your signature is being a dick…..
hahahaha Im throwing up soda now. Keep making squirm man!
What in the hell is squirm? How do ya even make it? Is it some new product that you bi, by, or buy? Can you go to jail for having it in your possesion? Do you snort it smoke it or sniff it? Hell if I ever heard of it before. Must be some new gay thing I guess…..
Let me get this. So… someone made a website called: whylostsucks.com only to throw shit to the series. I mean, if you dont like the series why the fuck did you do this webpage? and people if you dont like lost..why the fuck do you watch it. I mean, thats kind of hypocrite. No offense.
But its good for the series because you have to watch every episode of the series in order to throw shit, and thats more raiting for the show..hahah..see you suckers!!
I have a better question mike. Why are you posting here?
Obvious. Because i like lost. It was just matter of time that i find this weird website.
And its funny too. Find people who spend 42 minutes watching something they hate only to criticize it.
hahah
And bring it on!.. Criticize me too. I dont give a shit.
Don’t live the conflicted lifestyle. Come out of the closet and admit that you think the show is crap.
Calm down now, don’t get your panties in a wad. Nobody here really cares what you think! You can love it all you want to we don’t care. You just don’t get it. We watch the suckfest of an episode and come here and make fun of it. We enjoy doing this. Now if you love this show so much there are plenty of sites out there that cater to you and all the other lost fanbois out there. This is a sucks site, so you must have made a left when you should have made a right, so just do a little back tracking and you will find your mistake and correct it so you can go and tell all your buddies how much you love Jack & Kate and the alt, side-B, sunken treasure island verse…..
Spot on SNL, spot on.
Yes, exactly – go to “Dark Shit, ” or whatever that asshole site is where the satisfaction pole is always 100:1 excellent. Fuck off.

I guess unless your a twelve year old girl with daddy issues, or Infected, and God don’t even know all his issues I bet…..
That’s not why you post here mike. Lots of people like the show and don’t post here. You have some deeper emotional defect that you’re afraid to talk about. Don’t be afraid mike, don’t be afraid.
Pozac makes everything look good.
mike= mongoloid.
I take great offense with that blanket statement you make that we “throw shit to the series”. We take great pride and preparation in what we do. And we do not simply just “throw it”. Don’t be so naive. We measure the precise amount of shit required, not a gram more or less, on an episode by episode basis. We package it and deliver it with style and grace. It is a lost art that few appreciate.
Amen brotha, I couldn’t have said it better myself…..
WOW, you did it! You really shut us up… You are so much smarter as to call us out – I’m mortified by your insight, enlightened one.
Now get your ass back to DARK UFO where you belong.
Just a few word and i can create chaos. hahaha.You’re funny getting crazy. i’m beginning to like this site.I was going to follow with this shit, but i just won’t, so i have to confess i dont even watch the show so whatever.
This was the last time i get in here. So, answer what you want freakies. bye bye.
*sigh* Kids these days…
That’s another dead troll to throw onto the heap.
It’s the Zombie season, i can’t die!!
true. but like a zombie you stink and rot up the place.
I was on this site and a couple of others the other night, and WHAM out of the blue. This window came up and told me my computer had like six hundred trojans and a bunch of other shit, and if I paid them a buttload of money they would fix the problems. Ha, like I got any money!!! Thing is, it locked that page on my computer and I was bloody fucked. Couldn’t do nothing. When I rebooted there it was. Fucking assholes who do shit like this I wish I could get in my back yard for a couple of hours, because with out a doubt they would never do it again. Fortunately my old lady is a computer guru, but it still took her almost a day and a half to get that fucker off. It wiped out half the shit on here. So then I finally get to get back on it, come to this site, and its fucking gone, I couldn’t believe it. I started thinking it was some sort of a government conspiracy against my ass!!! OK, not really, but it did kind of suck. I did feel like the carpet was yanked right out from under my feet though. Oh well, what the hell, they come, they corrupt, they destroy. But it only ends once, and everything inbetween is just progress…..
I was afraid Widmore had kidnapped Tyler and was holding him captive in a kitchen and Keamy was making him some eggs.
Never having to deal with shit like that is about the ONLY advantage I have in using a Mac. Other than that, I hate this damn thing.
Hm. I never have to deal with that kind of shit when I’m using a Linux system or Windows. Microsoft Security Essentials ain’t too bad.
This site is clean, your problems didn’t come from here.
The only thing this site will leave you with is a bad taste in your mouth.
I check out numerous things when I am trolling around here waiting for somebody to post something. Usually a lot of porn sites. (so I like checking out nekid girls). I didn’t mean to imply that it was tis site. My intentions were based on my shithouse luck that I can’t seem to shake…..
Porn sites are FULL of spy-ware, viruses, etc. Like I said, one of the few benefits of a Mac is virus free porn trolling.
Yes, porn sites have got me a few times now. Usually I get a bunch of shit that bogs down my computer untill it gets so slow it takes forever for anything to load. I won’t run no malware program untill I just about absolutely have to. Typical man I guess…..
Oh, that’s the JINANDSUN trojan. Don’t worry, all that will happen is that your PC will go into sleep mode until the end of the season.
Thats a pretty good one…..
Smokie and Plimp, sittin in a tree…F-A-G-G-I-N-G…
HAHAHAHA…SO FUNNY…
What comes after marriage again?
Quiet desperation.
Nice one… though my fiancee didn’t find it quite as funny. I can’t imagine why.
You always knpw the right thing to say…..
I see you must have finally made it to the doctor eh. What did he give ya a double shot of penicillin in the ass. Did he also explain to you that you are just NOT INFECTED for now, because some times that shit will come back in a few years…..
When I get a rectal exam from the doctor is it normal for him to have both hands on my shoulders?
I guess it is if you doctors name is Infected…..
Does anyone else find ta ta Toothy the most annoying sonofabitch ever? I mean you could project an IMAX movie on his choppers they are so big. He ought to rent out space for Avatar 3D on those things. And what’s up with Sun’s nose? She looks a pg hunting for truffles with that turned up schnoz. Seriously. What gives??
I hate Toothy, I hate him with a passion. Anybody who was in Legion AND Smokin’ Aces should be run up a flagpole by their sack.
I heard that four out of five dentists hate him too.
I imagine when Kreamy went in for his dental implants he plopped in the chair, refused to look at the brochure, and said “just gimme the tombstones.”
What you are witnessing is the worlds worst Christopher Walken impersonation…
Good call. I couldn’t place it when I watched it but you’re right, he was doing poor job of stealing Walken’s style.
Those are some fucked-up glimmers.
Sun is just a trainwreck of a woman.
Toothy O’Reily was a casting mistake. A missed opportunity. They should have got Joe Pesci if they were after a mofo goodfella. Instead they dig into the D list of hollywood unemployeds and throw an ABC bone to Toothy.
A better choice would have been Christopher Walken. He could given his monologue to Sun and Jin of how he smuggled a Rolex wristwatch (up his anus) during his time as P.O.W. in Vietnam.
The obvious choice is Samuel Jackson for the role but I suspect he would have been too intense for the Lost fanbois and girls. Besides, Disney owns ABC so it’s clean wholesome WASPish entertainment only.
Desmond: “Aye think Aye caused yur plane to crash.”
Jackson: “English-motherfucker-can-you-speak-it?”
Desmond: “I think I caused your plane to crash.”
Jackson: “No, no,…no! You ignorant-stupid-mother-fucking-highlander-sheep-shagging-honky-white-trash-pussy-button-pusher. It was the snakes on the plane! You sat three years in this hatch not knowing that?

- What do you want?
- To disabuse you of your Lostomania.
- Which side are you on?
- We are the good guys. We want an admission that Lost is mental masturbation, masturbation, masturbation…

That was a thing of beauty.

I seem to remember a version of the video in which Brucke Dickinson waved about one of’em anti escape orbs.
The new #1 show is now Flashforward. It is the new and improved Lost. It is pure unadulterated shit right from the beginning. Not like Lost, which had elements in it early on that were non-ABC like. ABC didn’t like that, obviously, and took control this time to make a more “improved” prime time show.
At least they can’t draw us in this time.
Can I sue ABC for what LOST has done to me?
How many more minutes until V starts?
I did manage to sit through the first episode of Flash Boreward. I thought it sucked pretty bad. I tried to give it a chance a coupla more times. It sucked even worse. There was one thing I did find entertaining though. That was when that black dude had to pull that guys head out of the shitter and then give him CPR. It was kinda funny but other than that its a total bomb…………..BOOM…………..LOST TNG…..
Does anyone remember that garbage show Day Break? That had some of that shitty Lost feel to it too.
Yeah I saw the first episode of Flash Forward; Seth MacFarlane did not redeem it. I intended to see some more, especially the one in which (as a friend of mine told me) they “twist the arm of the German government” to get them to release a holocaust perp and allow him to come to the USA. Never got around to it though and no longer intend to.
With the budget cuts they’ve had to improvise with what they’ve got. Sun’s boob double was Hurley and Keamy’s teeth doubles were the planes fuselages. Instead of paying the kid from ‘Katie and Allie’ to be a Widmore lackey, they CGIed in the Gerber baby and put Frederick Koehler’s name in the credits. The tomato was played by Carrot Top, cheaper than a real tomato.
HAHA
CGI boobs next time?
awesome! LOST surprise every time. I didnt know the show even has its own freaky hater web site. Wow. I love it!
Hey! We aint freaky! Oh, sorry yes, yes we are…..
rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell…..
This site is the best ever! Love the comments, hate LOST! Greets from Macedonia.
Welcome aboard Mr. whack.
It’s not whack, It’s whock!
I’m very sorry for the error Mr. whock.
Welcome aboard.
What is a whock?
If you show me your package, I still aint showin ya mine…..
its sad to see when people start to turn against something just because they don’t get it… (anymore? probably y’all didn’t understood it from the beginning) If it is such a bad tv show why all this effort of making a whole website and talking about it all day.Y’all need to shut the fuck up LOOSERS…
Is that all you got in that little package? Maybe its that we get what you obviously don’t…..
what you obviously don’t get is laid…
and what you obviously don’t have is a life…
your mission seems to be waiting for any comment that is not against the show and then come along with some childish bullshit.you gotta have a lot of time!with all that time, why don’t you come up with a own show you made.you could call it: The “I dont have anything to say, but talk shit all day long” Show. And now another completely unimportant comment from you…go ahead Mr.Lost sucks security man…
Why are you here?
He is here to find his husband,
I love trolls, one more thing for us to make fun of (granted Lost gives us more than enough)
WOW!!! The one thing I sure would like to know is how these goddamn fanbois know about my love life. I have never not made it perfectly clear that I indeed have no life. Also, yes, I just sit around untill somebody comments and then I usually post something stupid or childish. Hell anybody here thats been here for any length of time coulda told you that. That would be the fucking bomb to have my own show!!! You can call it whatever you want. If I was any kind of security I would lock your ass up for not knowing where the hell your at. This is a LOST sucks sucks site for Christ’s sakes. What the hell were you expecting to find? The Tooth Fairy?????
That’s not important right now! We have to get back to the (beach, island, ship, submarine, polar bear cage, clockwork orange room)!
You need to learn how to spell LOSERS.
I think he’s confused. He’s really a fan of the show LOOST which must be Dutch or Canadian or something.
HAHAHAHA!!! You fucken guys are toooo much!!!!!

That’s very interesting…Hmm, I think I’ve seen those 3 posters make a chain before…Maybe I’m just having Flashsideways deja vu though…
Never the type to step on the next trolls’ bait, so I’ll be standing by…
*Infected is standing by*
*by a MEERCAT*
…every breath you take, every move you make, I’ll be watching you.
Ha ha ha!
I’m sure his name is Bob, or is it Boob?
Trolls top ten mistakes list:
1)Posting painfully long essays
2)Replying to every point in the manner described in 1)
3)Insisting on replying to every post disagreeing with their POV in the manner described in 1).
4)?
5)?
help me out here guys.
Yes Pukster, you’re right on target. The best thing is to ignore them though. Unless they’re funny or cool which some trolls are.
Like #1 Fanboy for instance.
Whatever happened to that guy? He was good.
You don’t have to ignore them, but definitely not take them seriously. Like when someone makes fun of your mom.
We don’t get it? You were in group 5 in elementary school, and we don’t get it… what show is this about again?
I can’t wait for the porn version of Lost.
probably will be called ‘Lost my anal virginity” or something.
Here are some lines of dialogue:
- Could you restore my virginity?
- I can’t do that
- I want to go to heaven
- I’m afraid I can’t do that either
- Well, then I want a big cock in my ass
- Now, THAT I can do.
————–
- Hey Ricardo let’s gang bang this chick.
- O.k. but don’t forget about the RULES – no crossing swords
- good RULE
——
- Help me Locke, there’s a midget in my pussy and he won’t come out.
- I guess we’ll just have to smoke him out.
Haha, that’s Carlos Mencia level funny man…You should definitley work in TV! Good one!! Hahahaa, soooo good…Sooooo smart and funny…
Oh shit Big bang Theory’s coming on….That’s the only thing that’ll make me laff harder… Hahaha, midget in the pu$$y…classic…
BOOM
MARTIN KREAMY
- Hey Libby, how did you get Hurley to go down on you?
- I just rubbed bacon grease all over my snatch. If I really wanted a good time, he’d get lucky and find himself a chicken leg.
The gerbil is LOST!
Ha
“Jack, I need you to penetrate the tail section”
