Lost

The last couple of episodes have been a psychological experiment in dragging out the surrealistic elements of the show by inserting flashback revelations about the characters that are, a. not hugely interesting or particularly revealing because they are predictable and b. irritating because they are obviously stall tactics or blantant attempts at misdirection.

To the writers of LOST, if you metion that friggin' hatch ONE more time without making it the epicenter of action for an entire episode, I'm going to club your baby seal heads in!

At least Walt - maker of polar bears - is scared because he senses something. But were you also generous enough to let us in on a fraction of what he senses? No. You gave me a father and son heart to heart. The show is about true to life human relationships framed within an unreal sci-fi adventure world. Cool. I get it. Now YOU get to the point. I'm beginning to think you are messing with us just because you can. That's God's job. Or David Lynch's. Your job is to make sure the theme park joyride of fun that has been your show actually has a track that comes full circle, bringing me, along with your point, home.

If you're just making this **** up as you go along, I swear, I'm getting out my club.

Please don't get me wrong. I liked tonight's episode. It even manipulated a good cry out of me with the unveling of that child sweethearts' time capsule. Americans love time capsules, and I'm no exception.

But I want some answers. And if you can't give me answers, give me zombies.

"We got it open."

"What is that sound?"

"Oh...oh, my God. What's down there?! What is that horrible sound?"

"Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains."

"Is someone down there? Did I just hear someone say "bran". Is there bran down there, because I have to tell you, I've had NO movement since landing on this god forsaken island, and I could really use the fiber."

"Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains."

"I think they're saying "brains".

"It's zombies. There are zombies down there. Jack, get the guns. Everyone else, pick up some sharp edged rocks. The only way to kill a zombie is to destroy their brains. Also, Sawyer, take off your pants. Zombies means horror, and horror means sex happens at inappropriate times. You're hot. So, I repeat: Take. Off. Your. Pants."

"And who the hell are you?"

"Unnamed survivor and first time guest star, Audra Haskell."

"You can't be a survivor. You're not pretty enough. Only pretty people survived the crash, or haven't you been watching the show?"

"Hurley survived. I can survive. We're the homely survivor exceptions! Now get ready, here come the zombies! And, Sawyer, seriously, take them pants of rooster, baby."

I have never watched Lost. I don't even know what its about. In fact, if it doesn't star Peter Falk as Columbo then Idon'tknow. But I can back up a few of the above statements: I loves me time capsules (especially the type what delivers pain medicine into your body in clock-like fashion.) I loves me zombies. And finally, I am sitting here to-night with my pants off. Aww, the good life.

I remain,

I love Lost - it is one of only three "must see" shows for me. I think they have answered many questions as they've introduced more mysteries. They will answer more in the last two episodes and most likely introduce new ones.

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 · 05-12-2005, 09:44 AM

I love LOST, too. But like many of my loved ones do from time to time, LOST is trying my patience.

It doesn't make me love the show any less, but it's dragging certain plotlines out in a way that says "stallling because we're at a loss" and not "carefully planned development".

LOVE the zombie references. But then again, I have worked with them, and they can be a bit trying at times.

Still, I feel bad for the vegan zombies. Their menu choices are quite bleak.

Maybe vegan zombies only eat vegans like Alicia Silverstone, or maybe they are vengeful zombies (hey, Romero’s new zombies can think, apparently!), who go after fur wearing non-vegans like J-Lo.

Or maybe they only eat VEGETABLES like...like...
Damn. It's too easy.

Wow, how come I had to dig back 4 months to find anyone talking about Lost!?

We completely missed the 1st season, and managed to be completely unspoiled. By the time the DVDs came out, we had had it sufficiently hyped for us to check it out. So we threw the first disc onto our Netflix queue to check it out.

A week and a half later, we had powered through the entire first season and recorded the first 2 episodes of season 2. And now that we watched those on Sunay, I'm going through serious withdrawl. It can't be Wednesday soon enough!!

This is the best TV show in YEARS! So freaking good!

Now, I'm sure this is stating the obvious to everyone, but with "108" painted on the walls of the underground hatch place, I did some quick math and sure enough, the numbers add up to 108. And then, of course, the clock reset to 108. Hmmmmm. I wonder what happens when the clock hits zero? Maybe Jack Bauer dies.

One thing I keep trying to figure out...was it as long as 16 years ago that Jack performed that surgery on his would-be wife? Jack doesn't seem old enough for that to be the case. If that's so, Desmond got to the island sometime AFTER Frenchy and company.

And who are the others?! And why are they obsessed with children?! And wtf is with the "security system" that sounds like a mechanical T-rex, but has crazy black smoke that can drag people?! And why won't CP let me buy a lottery ticket with the numbers?!

Cadaverous Pallor · 10-03-2005, 11:52 AM

You are NOT using the numbers. The numbers are bad.

scaeagles · 10-03-2005, 12:13 PM

Welcome to the Lost party. It is definitely the best show on TV. The writing and storylines are done better than anything I can remember ever watching on TV. The second episode of the season was a perfect example - redo a time line of events from the perspective of Locke and Kate.

Currently, my favorite part of the show is the cat and mouse with Jack and Locke.

I also go through withdrawal waiting week to week. Just wait until they go 5-6 weeks without a new episode. That'll kill ya.

There are many, many questions about the show, and that's one thing that makes it so fun.

I wouldn't waste time buying a lottery ticket with those numners. You would share with so many people that you'd get about $12.75, I'm sure.

I am unsure of the timeline of how long Desmond has been there. I am wondering who "he" is, when Desmond asked Locke if he was "him". I am wondering who the people are who have (had) Jin as a captive. They look a little primitive to be the others, as the others who took Walt had guns, fuel, a boat, etc.

I still have many unanswered questions from story lines in the first season. Who was Ethan? Was he with Rousseau? Claire scratched Rousseau, and Ethan had taken Claire. So is Rousseau not telling everything? Perhaps Rousseau was trying to rescue Claire from Ethan? Is Ethan one of the others? I want to know more about Ethan, but I fear he is going to be forgotten in all of this.

I could go on FOREVER about all my questions and what I love about the show, but I have gone on long enough already.
