[Movie] LOST

Overall I liked the episode, and it gave me some hope that the rest of the season will give us what we've been wanting.

That said, I couldn't help but laugh at the Clockwork Orange style brainwashing...

Oh, me glazzies!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But if they were talking about anyone specifically, they were talking about Sun.

How could they have been talking about Claire or Sun when this was a good three years prior to either of them being on the island?

Most amazing jew boots

I thought about that right after I posted. But, seriously, they've already stretched trying to connect everyone as much as I can take. There's a point where it's like "Holy crap, give me a break".

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You ask a how question and decide for it to be over that. How the hell does a guy win the lottery with a string of numbers used as a code to punch into a computer to dissipate a electromagnetic charge on a remote island where scientific experiments on humans take place, people see the dead, there's a cognitive wisp of black smoke running around killing people, a island that our mental patient multi millionaire himself will end up crash landing on? That might be a better inquiry than how could the character on the island who was infertile before she got there could possibly ever have the pictures of a shriveled up womb in another character's flashback. Shit, that's just going too far!

Like I said, I don't think it was supposed to be a clue or sign to anyone. But if you want to throw theories around, I don't know how old Sun's character is, but 29 to 30 or older doesn't seem out of the question. There's never a time frame for flashbacks, unless they're events leading directly up to the plane taking off in Australia, so, yeah, you have a lot of wiggle room to think of which events could of taken place near each other. If it was her, that would show evidence of the castaways being cased before they stepped foot on the plane.

Jesus. Could you please take this more seriously?

I guess I'm getting tired of the show spending all this time connecting the castaways, and nothing getting resolved. At first, I was good with the flashbacks, etc., but there is a point where they need to move the hell on with the STORY and cut the crap with background.

It's frustration talking more than deciding to question that one thing out of all that has been presented.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You know, this is just starting to piss me off. They built up this episode as FINALLY telling us something. I feel like I just wasted an hour of my time watching more bullshit that essentially means nothing.

I'm tired of them developing back story. I'm tired of flashbacks that are useless. I don't give a flying fuck about Jack's lifetime of fucking angst anymore.

GET TO THE FUCKING POINT ALREADY!

How ya doing, buddy?

It pretty much set people up for disappointment.

This is apparent, to me at least, that the advertising team made two or three little things into these giant revelations to try and trick people and get more viewers in.

That's why I said "say what you will about the episode" because I thought the episode was good. But many people (like Midna) are crying foul over the promos and somehow think it was a collaboration between the writers/producers and the advertising department of ABC.

You could say ABC did the best with what they were given, but I disagree. They made things up that weren't intended to be there. That's my point.

So are we supposed to be okay with the fact that we've waited MONTHS for what was promised as a fantastic second half to the season only to see a whole bunch of meaningless crap?

THIS is why I'm having a heart attack. I'm sick of flashbacks. I'm sick specifically of Jack's fucking whining. What was the point of this episode. To add that Jack can now whine that a bunch of meanies kicked his ass on the beach?

Networks exaggerate episodes on occasion. I've seen it before, but I'm angry this time because we were given hope that something substantial was going to finally happen. My main point is that we shouldn't be so desperate for ANYTHING to happen in the first place.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sass, I want so badly to like this show again. Truth be told I didn't watch last week's episode, and am not sure about watching tonight. ;_;

I can't take watching and hoping through the whole episode that something of significance will happen. It makes me so sad to see LOST in this condition.

FELIPE NO
