I haven't posted much in this thread because I am too damn lazy to pay attention to all the minute clues and details (theory stuff). I've been watching Lost since the 1st episode and us fans have had enough gaps of new episodes (writers strike notwithstanding), that I was seriously pissed off with tonights airing.
All the commercial's that were airing for tonights episode were crafted to make it out as if they were going to give us new "insight" into the "true" story of the Oceanic 6.
What bullshit. Why didn't they advertise it as yet another "recap" episode? Oh, that's right, no one would watch. In the grand scope of things, this is nothing, but in the little microcosm of loyal fans to a show, it's just down right deceptive. Any person that has never watched the show would still be completely in the dark about the Lost universe except an extremely dumbed down synopsis of the most recent past.
For those of us that have been fans for some good length of time, it was like a zerbert! Na na, we know you know all of this already, gotcha to watch anyway!!! Good thing I DVR'd it so I could FF through most instead of watching, once I realized what was up. I actually FF to about a half hour and it seemed to be getting pretty current with recent events and I thought "okay, the second half hour will give us the new, present stuff". NOT. GAHH! Just fucking play a re-run so we know what's up, don't try to wrap it in a pretty bow and tell us it's not the same ol shit!
/bitch over
