So I really liked the first season of Lost, right? I only recently picked up the show, watching seasons 1-3 on DVD, in time to start season 4 on ABC last year. I think… Maybe I watched 3 over the air too, who knows.
Since that first season though, I’ve really questioned why I kept watching. Obviously now, the title alludes to the way in which the audience is left completely, perpetually clueless episode after episode (season after season), and not in regards to the characters’ initial predicament.
Each unforeseeable, colossal plot twist, subsequently and unsatisfactorily accounted for in the following episode. I mostly watch now because I’ve invested the time to ‘kinda, sorta’ follow what’s going on. Imagine if at some point there’s a moment where it starts to make sense!
What a dumb show. I’ll be watching next Wednesday.

Umm.. call me a doubter but.. it fulfils the role as curious eye-candy for a switched-off brain (an advertiser’s dream timeslot). Conveniently targetting people who are equally likely to get lost in a hypermarket whilst critically forgetting what it was they are supposed to be buying.
As far as plot goes, I think people have more chance at comprehending how marcoeconomic turmoil affects their everyday lives.
things are already piecing together for the show’s ultimate finale. things are just getting good.
