At least when Michael was around a lot you could be counted on to have him squint his eyes and twitch off 3 of 4 shots into whatever person or object was near every time he heard a noise..including a huge BIRD flying over his head…oh wait some ‘clever” writer thought that would be a great plot device to expose how Jack had given him and empty gun…only it WASN’T clever. How do people write this garbage and not realize how stupid it is?

You can take all your self righteous “people who don’t like it just don’t get it” and “you suck and can’t write well” comments and shove them in your hatch…or send them into the Sun with the fleet…or wake up and realize your comments were all a dream…or whatever other lame “deep” magical moment you are hoping for.

LOST is a show that actually does an extreme injustice even to geeks. It is not a smart show at all… An example of a great show that uses flashbacks well would be Highlander!!!

Until last week (August 2009) I have never seen a single episode. I curse Netflix for allowing me to waste so much time. Its addictive in teh same way that meth is..which is not a recommendation on my part at all. Its rubbish and it comes as no surprise that fans would be so up in arms about the original post.

I am old enough to remember the Golden Age of Television.

Lost is the worst TV show I have ever seen in my life (and I have lived in 3 different countries)-inane, full of itself, drowning in pseudo-philosophical blathering, roping in weak-brained watchers, feeding them pablum and encouraging them to regurgitate it over and over and over again while marveling at the wonderful taste of the vomit.

Criticism of Lost and the people who are hooked on it constitutes hatred? Wow, what a bunch of sheltered dopes.

Now that science is back on the front burner in the US, maybe the popularity of this brain-dead show will prove to be the last gasp of a pampered bunch of sodden brained dimwits.

Well now, I am watching lost at this very moment. I am half way through season 2 and highly unsatisfied with all of the sandy vaginas. Jack, for no good reason, ventures into the hatch and becomes Sawyers more bullheaded and less logical counterpart. We are supposed to believe that Jack’s faith is somehow tested by pushing a button? Please. Reset the timer and move on. Lest we forget, it took the writers/editors THREE (3) episodes to move past the two minute scene where Jack realizes he knows the person who is inhabiting the bunker. Lets focus on Hugo, who despite knowing everyone’s insecurities feels the need to keep the number thing to himself. And, my personal favorite would be waiting for someone to smack Charlie and tell him to grow a pair. NO ONE on the island stands up for themselves. All of this goes along with me saying the phrase SO FAR. Like I said, I’m still watching, and will continue to watch until the series is over. I throughly enjoyed the first season.

To all of you who claim that people who dislike the show “don’t get it” back up and ask yourself if you’re really that kind of dick. Don’t presume that you’re smarter than anyone just because you like a tv show… please Lord in heaven don’t make that mistake! Take it easy and share your opinions. When you lose the ability to keep a space for objective thought, you’ve lost your ability to learn.

Thanks!

The Monster isn’t just a cloud of smoke. It represents redemption and forgiveness.

Jacob and his eternal conflict with the man in black represents the social and religious aspects of good vs. evil.

Combine all of the philosophical elements above with classic, Lovecraftean Science Fiction. Then add a dose of Egyptian and Hebrew mythology. Then add some of the most well written and interesting characters TV has ever seen.
That’s LOST.
