So–
Darlton: “Remember when you all were like, ‘They’re in purgatory!’ and we said, ‘Pssh… That’s stupid.’ Well, lol, just kidding. They’re in purgatory. Oh, look, Magic Light!”
Seriously, the worst single episode of television I’ve probably ever seen. What you basically have is a TV show which was winking the whole time that, while crazy things were going on, they’d be explained in rational terms. And then two episodes ago, there was Magic Light. This is beyond inane.
I’m off to troll the comments on the AV Club, where they usually have a much better mix of snark and witticism than I can provide by myself.
But, seriously, if you’ve never seen Lost, I’d say, don’t bother.
But you watch Top Chef, how could Lost be the worst hour of TV you’ve ever watched? I also know that you have sat through episodes of CSI.
Not the worst hour, the worst episode, the biggest disappointment. The entire 5th and 6th seasons were awful.
I’ve been burned before, I’ll be burned again. Or burnt before, burnt again. I should look that up. Oh well.
Don’t get me wrong, I thought it was a total suckfest too. I guess I’m not as disappointed as you because I never liked the series. I think they completely nullified any tension or nobility that they had given their characters, by copping out at the last minute with the happy ending. Everybody is here! Everybody is happy! Isn’t this great?! It doesn’t matter what the island was, because Charlie and Claire are back together! Sayid gets to bang a blonde again! Yay!
It is also annoying that they couldn’t be bothered to make their characters clever enough to defeat Smokie, instead they just beat him by accident. Oh, whats that Desmond accidentally made you mortal? Guess we’ll shoot you now. Good thing we lived in perpetual fear of you for 6 years (or is 4 years their time?)
Whatever, its over now and the wife hasn’t discovered another show to force me to watch. Though I am very afraid that The Gates might be that show. Yeesh.
Yeah, my anger about Lost has quickly disappeared. Mostly because the entire show was, “Hey, great mysteries, huh? Keeping you interested, right? Well, we’ve got answers for everything. The thing is, oh, shit!, what’s that over there? …. (Lost).”
Anyway, stupid TV show, over now.
The Gates looks like Desperate Housewives, with Vampires. I bet it’s a hit.
