My random thoughts on tonite’s episode.
How can they drop that bombshell of the super sperm and just leave us hanging? Oh man, the mind reels with the possibilities! All we can hope for is that this super sperm revelation somehow ties up all the major questions of the show.
Who thinks watching a chick get an ultrasound is riveting television? Are they going after the Oprah demographic now? Next up, Kate gets a pap smear.
OK, so the only character on the show that has any balls left is Jin. Sun started out showing some backbone by calling out Jack and finally asking the Dr. Other wtf is going on. But then she kind of killed it with the estrogen sob fest in the death lab. But Jin is definitely not taking shit from anyone. It was pretty sweet seeing him take off after patchy and take him out kung fu style. Twice no less. You go Jin!
This lame trick of killing people off, then bringing them back just plain sucks. Perhaps I should add it as #11 on the why lost sucks list.

Guys, sorry to disappoint, but for the first time I missed tonight’s episode. So I leave it in the capable hands of Nico, Laurent, JT, * Turkey, and everyone to discuss…
What happened?

Tonight was another yawner with the standard Lost fare. A mini jungle trek, someone getting sick and cured, Sayid making empty threats, and in the end, an “Other” making our intrepid beach dwellers look like total chumps. Yep, same old same old.
One interesting point I noticed. Not only do we now have the normal flashbacks, but increasingly we have flashbacks of previous episodes. They must be desperate for time fillers. So they just pop in an already aired sequence. Brilliant. I thought the plane crash was bad the first time around, it was even worse the second.
By far the best part of the episode was the preview for next week. “The beginning of the end” says the dramatic announcer dude. Only 5 episodes left in the season! Woohoo! Now that is something that made me really happy!

I’m really struggling to come up with something witty to say about the show anymore. It just plain sucks ass. It’s now just become a tired caricature of itself. Even the twists and turns that used to be so cool are predictable now. The show has a clear formula every that every episode now follows.
The 3 part Lost episode formula:
1. The main storyline: Usually a trek through the jungle. At some point the characters will fight each other and be chased by something to showcase the dramatic shaky camera work. If they get to where they were going, the next episode will be a trek back.
2. The pointless flashback: Generally just re-hashing a previously good flashback from season 1. There is really nothing worthwhile to add anymore, so the flashbacks must just be something for the actors to shoot when they aren’t in Hawaii.
3. The comedic sub-plot: Sawyer calling Hurley fat, and Hurley calling Sawyer dude. Or some variation of this theme. Comic gold I tell you.
Add a slow-mo music sequence at the end, and call it a wrap. Another Lost episode in the can.

Well guys, I knew it was just a matter of time before this happened. The producers of Lost and ABC have threatened to sue me for the content of this website and have given me 3 days to take it down. Apparently the powers at be don’t appreciate our comments and cricticisms of their show. Rather than spend the money to fight them, I am forced to comply with their demands….

After tonight’s episode, my mood towards Lost has gone from mild amusement to downright hostile contempt. That had to have been one of the top 3 worst episodes ever. I just don’t see the logic of introducing 2 completely throw-away characters, then killing them off in a meaningless episode. There was no advancement of the overall plot. It was completely pointless crap. If it would have been a movie, I would have asked for my money back. Now I just want 47 minutes of my life back. Actually I do see the logic of it now, to pump out more crap and keep milking the show for as long as possible.
I can just see the writer’s meeting on this one:
Writer 1: Hey guys, we don’t really have enough material for an episode this week, what to we do?
Writer 2: No problem, we’ll just make up some lame jewel thief plot and kill off Nikki and Paulo.
Writer 3: Who?
Writer 2: You know those 2 filler characters….
Writer 3: Oh ya! Duh, I forgot!
Writer 1: OK, but I can’t think of any movies we can rip off…
Writer 3: I got it! How about we do a Memento type timeline rip off, with a The Vanishing paralyzed and buried alive twist?
Writer 1: Awesome dude, let’s do it! Who wants nachos?

I just got the renewal notice for the domain whylostsucks.com this morning. It was suprising to realize that a year has passed already since I built this site. It pretty much was started as a joke and I never thought it would become what it is today. I can’t take credit for it though, it’s all the great regular posters that have made this site something cool. Thanks to all of you!
Here’s some interesting facts about the site:
First month’s unique visits: 121
This month: 11,873 (so far)
Google rank for the term “lost sucks”: 1st out of 4,230,000 results
Average spam comments posted per month: 843

Sorry for the delay guys…
So last night was the big Locke episode. Whoopee. It’s just gotten to the point on this show that unless a giant meteor strikes the island and blows up everything, it’s going to be a little underwhelming for me. I guess for season 3 standards, it was an OK show. The flashbacks actually explained something. The whole Kate longingly staring at Liberace Jack while he softly played the piano actually made me vomit a bit in my mouth. Hey Kate, how about looking over his head at the large camera, filming you. It’s not exactly a spy cam! Totally saw the dad in the room ending coming a mile away, no big surprise there. The whole cat and mouse thing between Locke and Ben was tiring. I don’t know about you, but after the shit Ben has put everyone through I wouldn’t help him into a wheelchair. I’d be more inclined to punch him in the back. Don’t even get me started on the magic box thing. I’m sure the fan sites are having a field day on that one.

Tonight was another seemingly filler episode, with nothing earthshaking happening. There were seagulls chased and another never ending trek through the jungle. I guess we found out that Claire and Jack are half brother and sister, with the same alcoholic dad. I happened to be taking a sip of Heineken (ironically) when the “I am your father” line came out and nearly snorted it out my nose. Man, that was funny.
I could have also sworn that the sonic fence scene was the exact same location as the fence scene in Jurassic Park. Thank God for Locke for being the only one actually doing things these days. He’s blowing up buildings, shoving people into sonic fences. Keep kicking ass Locke; your fellow islanders are wussies.
I guess the final scene was supposed to be the big shocker that I’m sure will light up the real fanboy websites. Is football boy Jack an “other”? The problem that I just realized is that I don’t care. The show has moved so slowly in doling out these little nuggets that they lost me. It really doesn’t matter to me if Jack is an other, a dharma dude, or the new host of the price is right. It’s just past the point where I can bring myself to care. Timing is everything in life. If the producers would have paced this show better, I really think it could have been something great, but they got caught milking their own success. I found myself wishing for another 4 month show hiatus after tonight’s episode, which is not a good sign.

This blog has clearly become larger than just one guy bitching about Lost every week. It’s become a sounding board for great discussions and commentary, and is now getting thousands of visits per week. So my question to you is - has this site outgrown it’s format? Should I convert it into a forum in order to faciliate conversation between everyone, or leave it the way it is? Please vote!
