LOST (Spoilers!)

I wonder if I truly am a Lost fan, as I don´t notice a single one of this issues

No I don´t. There´s a periodic Lost podcast?

I didn´t know

I assume they don´t give ANSWERS to the big questions but hints and clues?

How amazingly good was the new episode?!
WARNING: 5X10 SPOILER ALERT!!!


First of all, it was a classical episode of Lost, with the flashbacks taking turns with the present scenes. Second of all, it was centred around one of my favourite characters: Sayid.

I got a bit worried towards the end, when I thought that Sayid was going to let them kill him (since he perhaps thought this is what he deserved?). Especially when he said "I am on my own", Jack's "Live together, die alone" echoed in my head and I thought that would be Sayid's end. I always knew that Sayid was more clever than that and would be saddened to see his character end up like that. But one plot twist let to another. Just as we thought that he was feeling sorry for Ben, he turns around and shoots him! Clever man! He is not Daniel of course, he cannot know that things cannot change no matter what he does, but overall it was a descent attempt from his behalf!

Some loose ends were tied up, such as how Sayid ended up at the mental institute where Hurley was. We found out about Illana's true identity. And we got a little more insight into the Dharma people - though the question remains: Who do they answer to? Remember when Horace said he would make a call?

As for Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, Jack - Glad to see it's all out in the open. I hope that we are truly past the whole Kate-Sawyer animalistic instincts. Just look at the way Sawyer touched Juliet's face. I never liked her, but I hate to admit now that thanks to her Sawyer is a changed, settled man. Kate's thoughts were left unfinished, implying that she might have come back for Sawyer, but I want to believe that it's something more than that (quite possibly linked to Aaron?). It's good to see Jack so relaxed for a change, although I'm certain this will go back to same old pretty soon.

Poor Hurley btw, everyone is acting so "serious" around him. Him and Charlie made a perfect duo, now everyone else seems to have Hurley as a kick-over (despite proving to be the hero more than once!).

As for Ben: Well, we all know that Ben is not going to die. Maybe the Others find him and take care of him, maybe the island heals or resurrects him, just like it happened with Locke. We do know though that Ben won't be joining the Others at this stage.

Also, this whole episode even though seen from Sayid's point of view and even though Sayid acted based on what he knows, since he just got an understanding of Ben's life, the bigger picture here is why Ben treated Sayid like that all this time. And now we know. Ben has been using all this time the man who killed or attempted to kill him. The certainty in Ben's words when he told Sayid he enjoys killing, proves that he remembers. And this is why Ben has always spoken roughly to Sayid. Perhaps he also the one to have killed his wife, Nadia?

interesting video from Lost Experience, before season 5 was aired.

Music-wise i guess.

Yup. That motif that we heard in season 4 when Faraday was setting up the rocket experiment was heard again while Sayid was in Russia, the action motif from the Freighter evacuation was used again, and we heard Ethan's motif from last episode again.

TFT is still being updated weekly.

Back to the roots? Loads of people have said that but it just felt like a bunch of random scenes tied together. No coherency, just jumping all over the place.

Ratings for 5x10: 5.2/8

Oops.

If you feel that disappointed from it, then stop watching. I did that with 24.

I personally don't think you should give up on Lost. But why do you consider it that awful though? Are you not happy with the new layout, ie. no more flashbacks? Or are you disappointed with the explanations given? Did you expect something more down to earth (eg. everything takes place in Hurley's mind?). Or did you expect something more sci-fi (eg. watch the island fly or something?).

Screw you.

My man Jordi!

Yes but Jack Bauer wasn't dead for several days and was magically alive when he was invloved in a SECOND PLANE CRASH on THE SAME ISLAND. Jack Bauer was "dead" for several minutes and revived with a shot of epenefrine (sp!?)

If you're going to do a show like Lost then really, you have to plan it from the beginning. Otherwise you end up with great big plot twists that are actually just entirely random events, with no possible explanation in any logical sense; OK, so if you have a couple of those over the course of a series then it's not too bad, but it seems with Lost that it got to the stage where there are a couple every week.

Good writers will know where they're going with something and even if they do end up making it up as they go along, at least if they had that overall plan then it wouldn't be that big a deal. But being in the situation where you build things up to a certain point and then, because you have no idea how to advance beyond that point, you just invent some mumbo-jumbo to "explain" it (or simply leave it unexplained), you're just cheating any intelligent members of your audience.

Another point, not as a big a deal, but still a reasonably big deal for me - I realised that I didn't like any of the characters. Not a single one of them is somebody I care about. If they die, I don't care. And that removes a lot of the point of watching.

I don't want to stop anyone else watching and enjoying it, just giving the reasons why I don't think I can be bothered any more. For a show which had SO MUCH potential and which surely has the biggest budget of any tv series ever, it's a real shame it's ended up this way.

And Michelle had a baby.....
