I'm this close to giving up on this show. I'm in Steph's corner with the waiting for something to happen. The last two flashbacks told us NOTHING. Only Jack's flashback really gave us anything new (Desmond) and Locke's flashback was only interesting because it picked up his kidney-theft story from after it happened. We already know what happens after Hurley wins the lottery, and after Sun and Jin meet, fall in love, get married, etc.
And I find scene after scene of people walking in the jungle to be very tedious. It's like watching all the boring parts of the LOTR trilogy that Peter Jackson chose not to shoot. I'm serious this close to bailing on the rest of the season.
I like Kate except when she's engaged in the ridiculous push/pull flirtation-rejection thing with Jack, or staring pensively out over the ocean. She's sold me well enough on being dangerous, though I think the writers have fallen down badly on that score in episodes like the one where Ethan was killed and Kate was absolutely ineffectual.
I'm with you, Wolfram; this close to being over it. Lostzilla ought to show up and eat some folks. The cast has gotten too large, and having the main cast split up like this is not working, either. There's not enough time to give everybody a slice of the 46 minutes and still move the plot, and too much of our 46 minutes is being taken up, not only with unnecessary flashbacks, but with these new people that we don't give a damn about. Echo and FightGirl are pretty, but there's plenty of pretty on the beach that I'm at least a little invested in.
Something's gotta happen soon. This vague sense of menace needs to start having a payoff.
And the first thing my friend and I both said when Jin stumbled over the dead body was, "Well, they're not cannibals." Which was rather disappointing.
Well, the writers have apparently decided that it's not Jack for Kate, but Sawyer.
At least, that's what I got out of Kate's part of the message bottle scene this week.
How many episodes into the season are we?
But really, the first three were all just repeats of each other, over and over. So there have only been three episodes. The hatch episode (from way too many perspectives), the Hurley ep, and the Sun/Jin episode.
And still nothing has happened.
I'll bet we can expect 2-4 more eps with flashbacks that don't give us new information. I wonder if they've thought about diminishing returns with all this emphasis on catering to new viewers.
I think something's gonna happen the 2 Lost eps of November sweeps.
I just hope Bernard and Rose live to be reunited. They need a normal couple on the Island.
That is if Bernard doesn't go evil.
