I just don't feel excited. (A rant on Lost)

Register

Yeah, even in season 1 I got fed up with the dull Jack flashbacks really quickly (Especially as there were some really interesting backstories, Kate and Locke in particular)...he's not that complex a character really. He needs to fix stuff, he needs to feel important/needed, he's likely to throw a bit of a hissyfit if he doesn't, and he has issues with his father. That's it.

i totally agree with you both. I'm just not excited for this season and to be honest i don't expect much when it comes back on, maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised.
I'll definitely still watch it but i will tempted to scream if they focues on Jack so much again , he really does get on my last nerve.

Yeah that's it. But they still need to make up more crap for him, like the depression and drugs and alcohol and whatever else boring tripe they can think of that they think might make him more interesting but instead just makes me yell at him to jump when he's stood on the bloody bridge.

You know what else I hate?! Flashfowards.

hahaha i have to admit i was hoping that he would jump off the bridge. I was gutted when he didn't

I know, I yelled so much, I think I'd have thrown a party if he'd jumped! Twisted Evil

In principle I didn't mind the flashforwards, but I didn't like the way they were used - more Jack melodrama for the most part. I could have lived with it if they were all more like the Ben one, that increasde the mystery a bit.

Yay, angelfairy! Good to know there's another one out there! Very Happy

Nobody will convince me the flashfowards are good. Can't stand them!

I'm in a rotten mood this evening so here goes -

- Lost sucks now, they've turned it into the Jack and Kate show, and if I have to watch him whinge about how crap his life is, or her in flashforward all grizzly eyed and hanging onto Jack's coat-tails then I will put my head through the bloody television.

- Sawyer has turned into a parody of himself, he walks like John Wayne on rollerskates and is nothing but a comedy foil for Hurley and an occasional hero when Jack's not available because he's off saving something.

- They don't bother answering all the mystery questions they've posed, deciding to focus more on the boring soap opera of the jack/Kate/Sawyer boredom, which nobody cares about anymore.

- All the other characters have ben reduced to supporting roles now, with the occasional look-in for people like Sayid and Hurley, but only when they're involved in a Jack/Kate story.

- What's the point in it even being called Lost now if half of them have been found Stupid, bloody stupid.

Nicely put! And I agree about Sawyer too, was going to mention him earlier but got carried away with the Jack rage.

You're right about Sawyer, (and the rest of the stuff, obviously) - he was such a strong character at the start and he's gone way downhill. If we get to see him on the island with Locke, Juliet, Daniel, Miles etc then maybe we'll see the good side of him again, but how likely any of that is I don't know Sad
