Why come is a bunker built, stocked and abandoned in 1980 and stuck on a desert island stuocked with AK-47s wiff 10 round mags? Why come do they have a gun vault with a combination lock inside an impregnable bunker, buried under ground? Why come they have like 50 guns in a vault in a bunker built for two people maximum? Why come did they put AK-47s, Makarovs, HK sniper rifles and hunting rifles in the underground, buried bunker? Why come does it have guns at all? If you're going to lock people in a bunker and bury them for a year and a half, mighten it not be smarter to not put guns in there so they don't go all The Shining and forget to push the button? |

Why didn't they just write a script to enter the code? Because they were regular guys not computer programmers..... I wouldn't know how to do that if they stuck me in a hatch. Edit. The Dharma tapes also warned them not to use the computer for anything other than entering the code. |

I'm also coming up with a list of people I want to die: Charlie Locke Pretty much everyone except Sayyid, Jack, Michelle Rodriguez, Eko, Sawyer, Freckles and anyone else who isn't interested and capable of killing all The Others. I want them to team up with Russo and go all Slaughterhouse on their asses.

I keep watching this show hoping it will get better, but it isn't. It doesn't. By the time you're done watching it all, you'll feel like such a cheap used whore that you'll make up bullshit about how "brilliant" it is and if you don't get it you're just dumb. |
| Op, you've been warned. Just turn it off. Five seasons worth of watching from now, you'll wish you just turned it off. And if you ask the 8 year old from across the street what is going on, ANYTHING he says will be better than what the authors leave you with in the end. |

Plus he responded to an incoming message....he didn't take it upon himself to initiate the futzing around with the computer. Ever watch WWF wrestling? Heels will turn baby face and vice versa. Who you like and dislike will flip flop back and forth. |

Oh and btw.
Why don't you just watch and try to make up your own mind and just enjoy the show. Too many haters in here trying to dick it up for you based on their own dislike. I mean seriously....its fucking TELEVISION. In reality....isn't it ALL a waste of time? |

Quoted: Michaels kid was kidnapped hit puberty and had a growth spurt, so they had to write him out of the show..... Lost is what happens when people think they are being clever and edgy, then have to quickly rewrite the rest of the show after everyone guesses exactly what they were planning. |

Quoted:
What I want to know, is why Hurley never lost weight. See these are the things that drive me nuts. ....people use questions like this as examples of why the show didn't make sense or the "too many unanswered questions" bit. In reality....and why I always say people weren't paying as close attention as they claim...is that there were very few questions left unanswered. Hurley DID claim to have lost weight. AND...there was plenty of food on the island....none of them were starving. But the most important reason he didn't drop significant weight is.... Time on island |

it may help to think of lost as an action/adventure video game. basically, you get wrapped up in really cool episodes and short story arcs, because they imply that everything is driven by an overarching plot that will eventually be revealed. the problem with the show is that the "plot" is nothing more than a vague thematic spine from which to dangle all the adventures, like pretty christmas ornaments hanging from charlie brown's tree. so while 'playing' through the individual levels is fun and engrossing, don't expect them to actually mean anything. the action itself means nothing--the story (such as it is) unfolds based on character relationships and individual transformation. this would have been fine, had the show not specifically created the impression of an overarching plot that would unify all the video game levels into a cohesive story where causes and effects drive towards a conclusion. but there isn't one--it's all theme and no plot. so lost is not a story, but rather a collection of character sketches and "gee whiz" set pieces.
you knew from the pilot what the story would be--these people are all metaphorically lost, and the show is about finding themselves. |
|
Quoted: I wonder how many hours all you "haters" spent watching it. If I don't like a TV show, I don't watch it. I find something else to watch. the vast majority of us stayed with the show because there was an implied promise that all the sound and fury would be made meaningful at the conclusion of the show. but it signified nothing. they could have run season 6 immediately after season 1, and other than a few new characters, the overarching story line would have been identical. everything from seasons 2-5 was literally filler material. literally nothing from those seasons affected the conclusion of the story. all that stuff could have meant something had the showrunners made the effort to craft good drama, but it didn't.

Yeap, and the Desmond episodes were the best. |

It kept us going with vague promises and then it just... didn't. We took the time to emotionally invest in the show, and it returned the favour by nonsequitorially skullfucking us with the barbed and rusty dildo of triteness, dripping with the pox-ridden sputum of inane writers desperately trying to work out a clever way to escape the epic clusterfuck of shite that they had engineered for themselves and convinced us to swallow like a Canadian cheerleader at a cumguzzling championship. |
