Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

And I cheered when Sun shot the woman on the boat. When shot!woman looked all shocked, I wanted Sun to ask her, "What did I say, bitch??? What did I *just* SAY???"

I was kinda hoping after that scene, when the woman had said (wtteo) "You wouldn't kill anyone Sun." that we'd flash back and find out that Sun had indeed pushed her lover out the window.

What is even happening?

I don't know how many of you ever watched any soaps whose fans were inexplicably handed over to James Reilly to be tortured for years on end, but Lost is just like that. They should have kept Big Daddy Fury, and listened to him. And yet? I can't stop watching.

At this point, I'd almost rather have no payoff to having a bad or contradictory payoff.

Well, we know why the plane crashed.

do we really?

You know, I thought about that this morning in the shower. Things that have been -- as far as we know -- answered are:

(1) Why the numbers needed to be entered.

(2) Why the plane crashed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unless they were both big fakey fakeouts that were part of the Others' psych experiments.

That's my main beef with the show -- I feel like every time they seem to be moving the plot forward, it's with a big "....or IS IT????" at the end. Ditto with character backstories. "And now you know why Jack is such a joyless tightass with no sense of fun...or DO YOU????"

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Why do the numbers need to be entered, though?

Some hoo-hah about discharging magnetic energy build-up, blah blah blah. And when Desmond didn't enter the numbers when flight 815 was flying over the island, the magnetic energy mojo blah blah blah apparently caused the plane to crash.

As far as we know.

Yeah, I remember the episode, but I didn't really think it explained it. As, how do those numbers stop discharging magnetic energy?

Suddenly, the black cancer in the X-Files seems to make sense..

The odd/interesting thing was, the Others reacted to the build-up shakey-shakey like an earthquake (which is why I was faked into thinking they were in California until they showed the plane break up) - that is, not a common occurence, but not an uncommon one either.

Suddenly, the black cancer in the X-Files seems to make sense..

Actually, black cancer did kind of make sense (at least it did to me at the time) but then they had to go change everything after that too.

Hmmm. Perhaps everything going on in LOST is that fault of the Jebuslug.


Or the butt genie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They never explained how that plane crash left nearly 70 survivors when everyone except maybe a stewardess belted into the extreme rear should have been quisinarted, did they?
