Response to Lost Feedback

Oh, and yes, Lost was nothing but cutting edge in their deviation from having season premiere flash-anythings focus on Jack by....having Jack make an overwhelmingly murky appearance, surrounded by..whaddyaknow, nothing but questions.

Jack making an appearance hardly makes it "overwhelming." Yea he's too much, but what Im saying is that its nice to just simply not have him be the sole focus of the flashback, or forward. Hardly blind Lost love. I admit its faults. Why haven't I given either episode an A yet?

Just because they've mentioned that Walt is taller than the last time we've seen him doesn't mean they're going to do actually do anything to try to explain it.

It doesn't mean they wont do anything to explain it either. Why take that road? But obviously they will do something to explain it. He's a key character who was noticeably taller, not only by the viewers, but by Locke. There has always been a time travel element to this show. It's obvious if they mentioned him being taller, itll be explained, whether thats anytime soon, I doubt it. They've always said they knew exactly what they were doing with Walt getting older. Do we believe them, maybe, maybe not, but why automatically choose not to?

You've gathered a great group of questions, but I can't help but wonder: has Lost once again succeeded in trying to make us forget the INITIAL list of questions we've had over the course of seasons 1 & 2 by introducing a new group of people to take our mind off it? It seems to have worked.

No, it has not worked. We are not going to get any big answers from the questions of Season 1 and 2 until the last season. So people need to stop complaining about not getting answers. We will not get answers to the big questions (monster, island, time shit, purpose for everything) until the last season. This is known, so stop complaing about not getting answers to these things. You wouldnt read a book expecting to get completely fulfilled with every element half way through. My point is that it seems the Losties are finally asking the same questions the viewers are, and that is a HUGE step for this show.

Just wanted to comment that I literally laughed out loud when they showed the moldy body in the water. They would NEVER EVER show that, the body of a deceased person whose identity was being released simultaneously, on a local or national news broadcast.

And yea, didn't I say they would never show a dead body in a plane crash on tv?

Is there anything you agree with me on?...christ.

P.S. Keep picking holes in the Lost love, because I love responding to them.:)

From an article today in the L.A. Times from the horse's mouth itself:

"If all goes as planned, the producers will begin talking about stories with the writers on Wednesday, Lindelof said. The difficulties, he added, might lie in remembering all of the characters, mysteries and island secrets.

Like the Dharma Initiative? (If you don't know what this is, it will take the length of another strike to explain.)

"Everything I've forgotten about the Dharma Initiative is best left forgotten," Lindelof said. "The good news about time away from the show is that you remember the good stuff. If you've forgotten about it, it's probably best not to be reminded. We're looking forward to executing the resolution of Season 4. Who are all the members of Oceanic 6? What happened to everybody else? What is the secret the Oceanic 6 are keeping and why are they keeping it? And who are these freighter folk?"

Did you read that? Are you fucking kidding me? The executive producer is telling the fans they should forget certain aspects of the mythology the show has created because he has a hard time remembering? He has forgotten about the Dharma Initiative? Whaat? But don't worry, he's going to get around to answering the NEW questions this season....
