And the show continues to spiral downward into an unexplainable mess. How many more seasons are left?
So far everything that happened that used to be a big deal turned about to be a big tease and shortly forgotten.
They made a big deal over the hatch...then they blew it up.
They made a big deal over the dharma initiative...then it turned out to have really nothing to do with what was going on.
Last season there was the whole online thing, and NONE of it was relevant at all.
Then theres the numbers....wtf happened to that?
Theres a monster going around killing people, and thats never been really explained.
Michael just drove away, and we never heard about them again. Now teenage walt appears out of nowhere.
Just about any of the others that were killed managed to survive somehow. So theres no reason to think anyone that dies is actually going to stay that way.
And for some strange reason, women can't get pregnant, or they'll die, yet rousseau is still alive.
Now we're supposed to just believe they get off the island soon? I seriously, seriously doubt it. Even if we are to believe that, how is kate not in jail?
Theyve managed to set it up so that no matter what happens, they can always just undo it or trivialize it, and we're all supposed to ooh, ahh and omg over it.
You cant have a coherent mystery unless theres actually a point of ending in sight, and if that ending is supposedly 3 seasons away...wtf? It's never been a sci-fi show, and it seems at this point they only way to explain it all is by going to crazyworld.
Then don't watch the show. Also, Rosseau was able to conceive b/c she was pregnant before landing on the island, like Claire. Obviously, you need an easier show to watch that requires no thinking.
Yeah, you're right, it's cause I'm stupid. It takes a lot of thinking to "dive deep into the mystery" when a season later it'll either be forgotten, destroyed or trivialized.
It's one thing to watch a show that is slowly spiralizing into pointlessness. But if you think it somehow makes you more intelligent, or requires thought, then you're the one who's mistaken.
I've been there, done that, and just came away with the notion that it's utterly pointless to try to analyze the bones theyre throwing at us, because its just one red herring after another.
At first we all thought tom was the leader, then came ben, now jacob. It should be obvious by now to "people that think" that anything that seems to have a point now is just going to be written over in the next season.
Whether or not it's good writing is another discussion altogether, but give me a break if you think it has ANYTHING to do with thinking.
