Predictions? Excited? Or am I the only one still watching?
It's becoming pretty obvious that Jack is going to actually CAUSE "the incident" but outside of that I don't really have any other predictions.

Finale tonight, woohoo! I posted a recap of all my Lost bentos and am going to a viewing party tonight.

I still don't understand how this show managed to retain any appeal after the whole...you know, being found thing.
She really doesn't care about the show, she just wants to show off her bentos again.

How is this a bad thing?
On topic: I've learned not to predict anyhting that could happen on Lost because the writers are just so far out there, they manage to keep me interested in an unhealthy way every week. I've very pissed that I discovered the show during the 4th season because i would have liked to jsut wath them all beginning to end on DVD, like I am BSG.
It's just going to turn into a figure 8 by the end of the show. Not that I'm complaining but I think the show lost something when Charlie died.
I also used to like the fact that they would shake the teams up and you'd have different people reacting differently with the different groups. Somehow that dynamic was lost after the losties made it home. I can't keep up with who knows what and when.
I'm still really excited about tonight :D

I decided to stop liking characters on the show, because they always seem to kill off my favorite ones. Except Hurley.

This is the kind of thing a critic writes when he hates something but is being paid large sums of money to lavish it with praise. If you think about it, it's a pretty big flaw, but the patina of praise means most people don't notice.

So far I've struck out on asking five family members to go with me.

No. It's really not. Fact is, I love Lost, I think its a great show but even after 75 issues, you just don't predict Jesse Custer kicking God in the balls because Garth Ennis is just out there.
Besides, when you predict **** and it doesn't come true, you just got your hopes up for nothing.

I'd go if you buy me a plane ticket.You're only the fifth person to tell me this. And I just struck out on invite #6 to my friend. Trying my old supervisor/friend next.

Yeah, because the plot is completely and utterly stupid. That's not a good thing. That's a very, very bad thing. It's not a clever way of resolving conflicts presented in the plot which the viewer did not forsee, it's just absurd, and not in a funny way.

Some day I might actually watch an episode of Lost. Until then I'll be a bigger fan of your bento's.
Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

It's not noir, it's sci-fi. You know, Luke I'm your father, Future guy knocks up Sarah Connor, things like that. It's just fun pulp and it's fun to get excited about guessing the next twist. A good mystery is like counting cards in black-jack, not dumping nickels into a slot machine.
How? There's no logic to what the next twist'll be - not even a twisted logic system such as you normally find in sci-fi (and that's more or less fine, if the boundaries are somewhat apparent (I speak about twisted logic, not Lost)). Guessing is simply a matter of chance, or of attuning to the addled minds of the writers.

My wife can't get enough of this show. I don't get it. Doomsday machine, smoke monsters, disappearing masses of land, and time travel....

Are you high? Nexa and I know what will happen about 5 episodes out, and turn out to be wrong about .000000000001% of the time. It's *by far* the most predictable show on TV.

Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? Gay. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

I can tell you what happens.
They get lost. Again.
To be honest, I've watched a few times, and always find myself thinking "Were they high when they wrote this?" I think they've just gone nuts with taking every bizarre predictable twist ever used, then throwing them into a hat and randomly selecting them. It's like the Mad Lib of Sci-Fi.
I'm just waiting for the dinosaurs to show up, prove that they were the real architects of the pyramids, and that the island is actually Atlantis, at which time they will find a stargate which takes them to a mirror image of Earth in which their alter egoes are all the exact opposite of themselves, and having to work together in order to stop yet another bizarre time-space tear which could cause their plane to crash into the Twin Towers, only to fail and lead the country into the final world war where the machines rise up to take over humanity.

Tell one of them to come and pretend to know what's going on or no more Bentos for them.
