LOST Notes

[Superbad]

I think the whole Jacob v Smokey story line is quite pointless. I just think they ran out of ideas, and/or realized that their approach to the past few seasons really had no direction. As such they did not know to get out of the hole they dug for themselves. I will say that I am impressed at how they are able to use the same dozen filming spots over and over again, and almost make them look like different places in the jungle.

The problem with Lost is that they couldn't actually give you clues to what's going on. If they did, people on forum sites would have been able to figure out what's going on way before the end of the series. And no one likes having their secrets come out sooner than planned.

My mom watches a ton of mystery shows and if the cable went out in the middle of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, she'd be able to tell me how it would have ended. If the Lost people actually wrote logically and with clues/rational resolutions, we would have been able to guess the ending. So they have to write like dickheads.

When MIB/Jacob's murderous stepmother said to Claudia "any answer would lead to more questions, just be thankful you're alive," she was actually speaking to us the audience. It was quite an insult. "Don't expect any good answers from us, just be thankful we're around to entertain you."

I see WHY they tooled us around but that doesn't exactly make me feel better about it.

Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way about that line

I was eating dinner when the episode was on and when she said that I looked up fully expecting to see the actress delivering her line directly to the camera LOL
