Lost (13 Viewers)
- Thread starter Tifoso
- Start date
I hate shows that get lost in their own plot. Every series should have a main theme, one main plot and they should have a beginning and an end before they shoot the first scene. That's why Rome is probably the best show ever. 2 seasons, 22 episodes, every little bit done to excellence.
Who needs 125 episodeds of the same plot, stretched out to oblivion? I got sick of Lost after the first 10 or so episodes, it was painfully obvious where the show was going. They dragged everything so slowly just to make it last as long as possible, bore you to death with numerous "cliffhangers", etc. Typical Hollywood crap and propaganda. I predict Lost to have at least 8 seasons, then they're gonna cancel it because even the most loyal fans will have had enough.

There are two things to take into consideration when it comes to shows like Rome, Lost, 24, etc.
One is that shows like Rome, The Wire, Entourage, The Sopranos, etc. are all on HBO and the writers have a lot more flex then compared to the writers of shows like 24, Lost, Prison Break, Heroes, etc. because they're on regular broadcast prime-time tv (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox)
The network executives press, push, and annoy the writers to do various bullshit to 'get more viewers', completely disregarding the story lines or what not. The end product comes out crap because the writers aren't given the liberty to show their work, instead they have to sit down and decide how they can extend the show and what new plot lines to stir up. The end product is crap most of the time.

I just started loving you again.
Yeah stuff like that. Don't forget Taxi driver.
Two episodes ago with Desmond: great episode.
Last week's episode with Juliet: lame filler.
To Bozi's point, her expression still hasn't changed after several seasons of this show (that is the real secret of the island). But back to the flashbacks again after transitioning the series to flash forwards? Definitely filler.
Anyone's guess as to which of the two types of episodes they'll air tonight.

seriously mate they culd geta rock and do a voiceover and i would not be able to tell teh difference
as for the flashbacks/forwards, interesting idea and has actually really gripped me even more. the fact they are giving away a lot but then making you ask more questions is brilliant, i was hoping that this season would be a flop and i would stop watching it but found myself more drawn into teh story with these headfucking episodes

Last night's episode with Juliet and Sun was lame. There were some interesting developments but not as good as the recent kick in the balls episodes. Juliet is such a lame character and she is a bitch now 2. The preview said someone will die next week and i hope she is the person who dies next week. Or maybe Michael. That man stabbed them all in the back, what a douchebag. It is kinda funny how the only black man on the show betrays them all.
I actually guessed a couple days ago that Michael (or Walt) was Ben's "man on the boat" (isn't that some sort of sexual euphemism, anyway?). That part of the story is still worth telling.
Overall, it wasn't a bad episode. We still don't know how Jin died, if he's really dead, etc. (Afterall, Sun and Hurley were at his grave site where his grave marker listed Jin's death as the day of the Oceanic 815 crash. Something, of course, is up.)
