Go Back

Sometime between Hurley's car chase and Naomi's resurrection, it occurred to me that I'm never going to get satisfactory answers to Lost's fast-accumulating questions.

Naomi didn’t crawl away with the satellite phone. Kate took it from Jack and Naomi ended up getting when she jumped from a tree and knocked Kate down.

You do realize, the show has a planned end in the sixth season, right?  What did you expect?  Somebody to pop up immediately and tell you exactly what the heck is going on with the island?  I’m willing to let the show play out and focus on the characters like the writers intend me to instead of judging the show solely based on whether or not questions were answered.

This is why we can’t get more good serial shows.  Because of viewers who demand instant gratification.  Personally, I’m really excited to find out how six people got off the island, and what happened after to make Jack think they need to go back.

Ugh.  God, whatever.  If you hate this show so much, just quit watching and go watch American Idol or something.  If you actually followed this show in any meaningful way at all, you’d have gotten a lot out of this episode.

I got an idea for you, its called a remote control use it.  If you don’t like the show turn it off.  I am so tired of you critics who have nothing better to do than bitch and complain about every tiny detail of every show.  Hey it’s just a show meant to entertain.  If you don’t like it there are like a bazillion other shows on a thousand other channels to choose from.  Go watch American Gladiators.
