LOST (the television series) is...

[aidanjm]

... just one endless c0ck tease.

every episode, more questions are raised than answered. And I am sick of it. :|

plus the story lines are SO fvcking stupid. Polar bears on a tropical island? monsters? Bah! the writers aren't talented enough to generate drama from the interpersonal relationships (like William Golding did with Lord of the Flies), so they have to interject ridiculous external events like a t-rex or monster or whatever to kick things along. Pathetic. :disgust:

What you said is like saying a movie completely sucks before it's even over or the twist ending revealed. If you can't stand the way it makes you wait weeks for a potentially unsatisfactory ending, don't watch it. Some people tune in because it is intriguing and we're all waiting for the big whats-happening and that is enough to captivate us.

I want deep character development, not convenient (for the writers) plot twists.

Try 24 or Smallville.

They work for me!

This week's episode was pretty bad - although the Kate backstory was OK. I do agree the pacing kind of sucks.

The next two weeks should be good - but I'm like 90% sure we won't find out what's in the hatch this season. J J Abrams said the cliffhanger ending was going to be huge.

i like the show

It's like a 20-hour movie... what do you expect them to do with the pacing ? Not only that, there needs to be enough for next year.

It's made for TV.

Are you kidding me? The WHOLE show is practically character development! If you can't see that, maybe you should stick to simpler shows.

I was thinking the exact same thing......

....but Lost still is nothing more than Melrose Place meets the X-Files......
