An Accurate Prediction!

I actually correctly predicted in last night's Lost episode that the person Charles Whitmore brought with him as the weapon against "Locke" was Desmund, a bittersweet victory because I find Desmund to be extra annoying. (Has he ever worn a shirt that doesn't expose his chest?)
Flush with confidence, I'm going to say that the series will end with evil Locke on the island and Jack in place as the new Jacob. Having said that, I really have no clue; I'm just along for the ride.

Going along for the Ride

I, too, simply enjoy the ride while watching some of the intricate TV shows out there (Lost, X-Files, etc.) I think that's its only when the demands of TV (endless shows for endless profits) interact with the story (need a defined beginning, middle, and end) that these formats run into trouble, as we're seeing right now with Lost, as characters start to do things that just don't make sense so that the plot moves along.

Underwhelmed

Lost is underwhelming me now. Last week's episode was fantastic, but this week - He's Our You - was boring and predictable. Again, i'm going to argue that this is because the attention on annicilary characters has dissapeared, combined with the main characters acting in strange ways (when did Kate become so passive? Where's the fire she had when she was in LA? etc).

I'll continue to watch, but they're on notice - i'm getting bored. And this from a show with so much promise!

Lost is a bit... well, Lost

Last night's episode of Lost was everything that I don't expect from the show: predictable, sappy, and boring. Once we figured when in time the characters were, there was no more suspense because the newer characters (the Mad Scientist, the Asian ghost hunter, the new Dharma project people) aren't as well developed as the older characters. The show is so plot driven now, they're not taking the time to really make the new characters individual. Plus, it was so blatantly obvious not only that Sawyer wouldn't learn how to button up his shirt in three years but also that Juliette - in a break from her character - would fall for him, just as it was that Sawyer had never really had gotten over Kate. The last minute of the show as he stared at Kate was just simply cheezy as hell. Ugh. Give me a Ben-backstabbing episode any day - the Sawyer/Kate/Jack plot lines are just boring!
