Two quick notes on Lost:

[thebitterguy]

A) While I kind of saw it coming, it was still a shocker. This applies to the thing at the beginning and the end.

B) You know why I like reality shows? Because when the season is done, it's DONE. Over. No friggin Cliffhangers, leaving you waiting for six months for new episodes. Dammit.

Dude, you must have changed the channel too quickly. What about that part where Simon Cowell went to shake Paula Abdul's hand, and then she pulled out a gun and shot him?

Twice?

And he's lying in a pool of his own blood, and everything's in slow motion, and Randy Jackson is clutching the wounded Simon, and meanwhile Bo and Carrie are screaming for a medic, and then Homeland Security forces barge into the building and train their guns on the audience, and then Paula, incredulous, drops the gun and stares in horror at the scene in front of her?

I'd say that was a pretty big cliffhanger.

[thebitterguy]

Only if that's from the season where Simon Cowell was leading the last remnants of humanity back to Earth. But, it doesn't matter, because Idol doesn't count.

Then what about that episode where Rob and Amber are standing on the edge of the cliff, and Amber yells "Rob, come back inside" and above them the clouds part as the airplane plummets downward, and Rob turns back to Amber, then hears a voice in his mind say "JUMP", and Rob looks down, into the bottomless chasm near the cliff, and as the airplane streaks towards base camp, and Probst leans angrily on his cane, Rob jumps into the darkness?

'cause that was also a pretty annoying cliffhanger.

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, especially when he found Rupert at the bottom of the pit.

But I was disturbed when he pulled off Rupert's mask and it was a monkey. And then he pulled off the monkey's mask and it was himself. And then he pulled the mask off the other Boston Rob and it was Heidi and her Inflatable Melons.

I kind of saw that coming when Ryan Seacrest would show up in his dreams dancing and talking backwards.

At least they weren't playing a Beatles song.

The one in the beginning wasn't a surprise, per se.. the way it happened, it caught me by surprise.

The thing at the end, along with much of the rest of the episode, wasn't remotely a surprise.

The 'security system'... not too sure what to think of it now. It's not what I was hoping it'd be, so that kinda sucks.

[thebitterguy]

You were in the "dinosaur" camp, eh?

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Most assuredly; I love dinosaurs, so was really hoping....

Then I am indeed glad I gave watching it a pass. Reruns, however, are eagerly anticipated.

The security system!

The raft!

The black smoke!

THE HATCH!

Man, that was a good episode...

[thebitterguy]

Of course, we could have gotten more on the hatch (like, say, a view from above). They could also have shown us what made the lights come on when Locke was there the night Boone died.

So, do you mean the thing at the beginning where you're thinking, "Man, he's annoying and... never mind."?

And by the thing at the end, do you mean the boat end or the island end?

And having Jack doing all this... stuff... is equivalent to Mckoy going on away missions. I thought we were past that. sighs

[thebitterguy]

At the Beginning when Arzt had his little demonstration of explosive instability.

The ending was the boat end. There's just something about that kid that ain't quite right...
