FAQ
You clearly know a lot about the show, if it sucks so bad why do you watch it?
This is by far the most often asked question. When the show first came out, I was a fan. I really was for about the first 5 episodes. Then, slowly, the sucky-ness started to dawn on me for the reasons stated on my top 10 list. My wife however, remains a die hard fan so I watch it with her. At this point I’ve already taken the red pill, now it’s just a matter of continuing to watch to see how far down the rabbit hole the show will go.
Why make a blog about it?
After a few “spirited” conversations about the show with my wife and after laying out many of the points on this blog, she made a comment along the lines: “I really don’t want to hear your theories anymore, but since you seem to have them so well thought out, why don’t you make one of your blogs about it.” Hence http://www.whylostsucks.com/ was born.
I love the show, why are you bad-mouthing it?
First of all, please don’t take this site seriously. It is meant to poke fun, not to be mean. Anytime you have a show this popular, people are going to enjoy lampooning it. Consider it a badge of honor for your show. Kind of like when someone is portrayed on Saturday Night Live, they know they have made it.
What are you plans for this blog?
I plan on watching the show every week and posting my thoughts on each individual episode from here on out. Hopefully I can entertain and educate you, my faithful blog reader.

tyler: check ut this site…it is unusual…saw it on a commercial and it had the same name as the initiative on lost…cant crack al the codes….www.sublymonal.com
yeah lost sucks now man you said it
You are an idiot.
You are a moron and so is the guy who commented above me.
Hey! I love this site. I discovered it last night and it expresses everything I have thought for a long time. My friend Mike and I watch the show every week religiously. Like you we loved the show at the beginning but it has definatly gone down hill. I think I was a fan longer than you because I enjoyed most of the first season and lots of the second. However this season is unbearable, even though I manage to watch it every week we simply do so to see what the next ridiculous turn will be. My favourite part of the site has to be the fact that it is full of well constructed and supported arguements. Not just stupid comments like the “idiot” and “moron” who commented above. I wanted to e mail you to see if the site is actually being taken down but my mail application doesnt work. Have a good one.

hi nice site.
hi all.
I really liked your Top Ten list!
(Yeah, what is up with all the starring?! Instead of starring at each other, “meaningfully,” why not just get on with the story, eh?)
It’s a shame about LOST… I was really hooked on the first season, and then, season 2 came along and it all got flushed down the sandy latrine. Season 3 was a total waste of time.
… Oh, and I just loved how the first 4 episodes of season 3 were just the same damned thing, over and over!
Episode 1:
– Kate & Sawyer locked in cages.
– Sawyer gets his face bashed.
– Juliet smiles her creepy Mona Lisa smile.
– Everyone stares at each other in dirty, poorly lit rooms
(with really bad green paintjobs.)
– Nothing important and/or interesting is revealed.
Episode 2 - 4:
repeat episode 1 (adding more face bashing, progressively.)
*sigh* Sadly, like so many others I see here, I now just watch to see how completely ridiculous it all is! At any moment, I’m expecting the aliens from The Abyss to show up in The Looking Glass station … and maybe Ben’s head will explode because he’s really a robot
… who knows …
At this point, LOST is so whacked-out, it can never be saved from its own path of compete self-destruction.
Speaking of face bashing! How many times can Locke be hit in the head for cryin’ out loud? Front, back, side, it make no difference… he’s always being bashed in his head. Mixing up the instrument (gun, stick, whathaveyou) doesn’t make it any different from the last 20 times he got hit in the noggin. And how is it that Sawyer and Ben get there faces mashed up all the time, but, their noses are never broken?
The shaky camera does get to be a bit much. Good thing I don’t get seasickness, because the decent of the story makes me sick enough already, without having to look at shaky, crappy camera work that is supposed to add emotional intensity where really, there is none to be found.
Season 3 makes me want to write a letter…
Dear Mr. Abrams,
I’m tired of all the face bashing, tied-and-gagged routines, guns being pointed at someone’s neck, and seeing bullets pulled out of shoulders… I would like more plot, more answers, and less pointless gratuitous violence. Buckets of sticky gooey fake blood do not compensate for poor story telling.
Sincerely,
A Disapointed Viewer.
LOST IS FUCKING AWSOME YOU FUCKTARDS.GO FUCK YOUR SELF DICKHEAD.
AT LEAST PEOPLE LIKE LOST UNLIKE YOUR SHITTY WEBSITE.GO SUCK COCK.
LOL this guy can’t spell, or think.
Don’t you see it guys, the show is called “LOST” because that’s how the writers are, (And how they plan to leave people who watch the show) it’s irritating, frustrating, and a big waste of time, It’s just a matter of time for us to read somewhere that ABC has “canceled the show “, come on!!! 4 seasons and they keep adding things without answering things from the first season! hell! originally Jack was supposed to die in the “Pilot” episode.
I just think of the writers sitting on a table, with beers all laughing and adding random things to the series, things like: “Ok, the dice says: today Kate sleeps with Jack” you know what I mean?
Yes, I watched the show, I even had a little hope at the beginning of the third season, but not anymore, I guess it’s easier to see a “possible ending” when you have a pile of legos and don’t have a clue what the hell you want to build.
hi! i love lost but i still read this every once in a while!:) lol! you should make a site like this about another show. mabeye smallville? god i can not stand smallville! or mabeye prison break!
DON’T BAG OUT LOST JUST BECAUSE YOUR’E TOO RETARDED TO FIGURE IT OUT.GO BACK TO THE HOME COOKING CHANNEL CLUSTERFUCK.
