"Lost" Gets The Subterranean Homesick Blues (And Yes, There's A Spoiler Warning)

After last night's episode of Lost, it looks as though Bob Dylan, Michael Hutchence and J.J. Abrams all have something in common—aside from letting their fans down, that is. Proof after the spoiler-avoiding click-through:


Sadly, "Short Pants Romance" makes more sense than anything that's been happening on Lost island; we're starting to wonder if the island's peyote steam-bath hut is based on the show's writers' room.

  • Biggest cultural disappointments of the year, in order:

    1. That Pharrell solo record
    2. Superman Returns
    3. Lost

    But I guess not everything can be as satisfying as Bat Out of Hell III.

  • Lost has managed to get rid of every girl who has enjoyed pre-marital sex on the island and 3/4 of the black cast. Apparently, Lost is now a B horror film.

  • I still love it, in spite of myself. I will watch it until they end it or take it off the air.

    People talk about Lost running out of steam, but good God, what about that Desperate Housewives shit? Does anyone watch that show anymore?

  • .....I'm still watching Lost. It jumped the shark when Michael shot all those folks last year. And I particularly hated how they flashed Echo's whole life in front of us this week, only to have the smoke-monster off him at the end. Sucked!

    .....Dr. Jack better ignore those flash cards. They've already admitted to him that they're trying to mess with his mind. Unless he suddenly has his character completely flip (like Michael), there is no way he deliberately kills someone on the operating table, anyway.

    .....I like the explanation that the Lost island is really Purgatory.

  • This is because I'm a stickler/fan, but I really wish that your post about Lost said "Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse" rather than "JJ Abrams" since Abrams has so little to do with the writing of the show. It's like crediting Stan Lee with contemporary Spider-Man comics.

    And seriously, the current season of Lost has been the best thus far, I question the taste of the haters. How can it possibly be "running out of steam" when the story is picking up, moving at a quicker pace, and is about a hundred times more exciting and interesting than where it started out two years ago?

  • I'll happily give the blame to Lindelof and Cuse, but I have to agree with the haters that this season is just awful: Weak supporting-character actors being given too much screen time, already-prolonged plot points getting even more dragged out, and increasingly irrelevant flashbacks. Even the "White Lodge/Black Lodge" Twin Peaks flame-out was better than this.

  • just needs some more sawyer man nipple shots and some AC/DC and that motherfucking train will get back on track.

  • Bjork Rhymes was right on #1, besides that last song on the Pharrell solo album, the album pretty much blew. I guess we can all agree who the actual talent behind the Neptunes is. Chad, we're looking at you.

    And P.S. Lost sucks. Rarely has an audience turned me OFF from watching.
