Dear Lost.

This is a dear John letter. I'm sorry, but that's it. I was bored most of the way through Series 2 and I really don't care what happens to the characters Hurley left behind. Shoot them. Push them in the water. Who cares. Not even Sawyer is enough of a pull. Frankly.

no-one's going to care, my one rating is not going to make much difference, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. I don't like being led around by the nose and learning nothing. I don't like having mystery heaped on top of mystery on top of enigma.

If you are going to make it MORE mysterious... Ooooo - is it all being funded by Jim from Neighbours?

THEN YOU NEED TO ANSWER SOME OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS like the black smoky pully things, the dinosaur noises and the fucking polar bears.

Give us a reason to CARE.

Good bye.

No Love

Me.

The Polar Bears was answered, it was Walt, made from the comic book:)

I still love the show. Season 3 starts Weds. I know V. ([livejournal.com profile] rosie_red73) didn't like how Season 2 ended either. lol.

Oh, I'd forgotten about the comic book. I've borrowed the season 1 & 2 DVDs from a friend and want to sit and watch them all (mostly, anyway) before Wednesday, as the retrospective they ran last Wednesday was less than satifsying.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's some kind of cultural US/UK thing. I'm sure there are Americans who don't like it and people from the UK who do, but I think I'm seeing a pattern.

Maybe. I have the DVDs of Season 2 that I am going to watch this weekend. I wanted so much more when the season ended last May and I am very excited for the new season to begin. I like the overlapping of mysteries and such...

I don't remember any comic book ... what episode/series was that? I didn't think I'd missed a single episode.

[identity profile] schmoo999.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It was the one Hurley was reading and it was in Spanish. Walt found it early on when they first crashed....and in the one flashback eppy about him and his dad, the step father was talking about how things, weird things happen around him...and a bird ended up dropping dead...can't remember which exact eppy it was.

I remember that episode, it was where Michael went to get Walt from Oz.

But I don't remember him bringing polar bears to life.

Frankly, I threw in the towel shortly after the polar bear. It was just ridiculous - I could tell that they were going to do nothing but prick-tease for the rest of the series. It is an interesting show, but I felt like it was pointless, just like you.

I'm not pointless!

*wibble*

Only joking.

But yes. POINTLESS POINTLESS POINTLESS.

I... gave up about 3 episodes into season 2. I hated how it was all this buildup and buildup and buildup. I borrowed season 2 from a friend to watch it all in one or two sittings. But for the most part? I'm not impressed. LOVED season 1. Season 2 went eh.

And there are so many better shows to sit and watch IMO. Vanished or Studio 60 or House to name a couple.

I agree - up to the last episode I liked series one a LOT, but then series two just rehashed stuff we already knew and I got so bored.

We only have House out of those three, but Hex is good, and we have new Robin Hood coming next week!

Hoping that'll be a bit slashy...

I am still going to watch. But then I'm a Sayid fan, and I live for his moments on screen.

Plus, what else IS there to watch? I can't watch Supernatural , it's too scary. I love House , but it's opposite my husband's favorite show... And that leaves me with zip, zilch and nada to watch unless I continue the Lost experience. (Okay, I lie. I do watch Heroes now, or at least I'm *starting* to watch that.... but it's about the only new show that looks at all interesting.)

I'm going to give Heroes a try - doesn't hurt that they're re-running the premiere on the SF channel right before Dr. Who.

I've got the first season of Supernatural coming on Netflix - have been looking forward to it, but your comment is a bit worrying. How scary is too scary?

[identity profile] anderyn.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been told NOT to watch the first episode, that I would be squicked beyond belief (I have a problem with explicit sexual violence, and most gory films -- I can watch something like Pirates of the Caribbean because it's swashbuckly and nothing much shows, but much beyond that....) I tried to watch last night's show, and it was quite gross in spots. I think the writing may have been good, if you had been following the characters ,but it was not a good spot to jump in for those of us who hadn't been serious watchers previously.

Thanks - good to know. Gore doesn't bother me, probably as a result of spending my teenage years at drive in slasher film marathons, so I should be okay with it.

I really enjoyed Heroes...it was quite good. I didn't think Supernatural was any scarier than Buffy....

[identity profile] erastes.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't find it scary.

Or in the slightest bit slashy either.

[identity profile] rwday.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it supposed to be slashy? I've not really paid much attention to the fandom for Supernatural, just thought the premise sounded like something I would be interested in.

My flist (and gehayis) is FULL of it!!

I just don't see any sexual tension between them. But it's a decent enough show - I enjoyed what I saw of it.

Hmm. Musesfool writes about it, she's the only one I can think of on my flist who does, but then I don't have nearly as large a flist as you two do, I suspect, and I skip over entries that are about things I'm not interested in, so may have missed things.

Meep. It looks very cool. Now, if only I could get it in Michigan! :-( (Robin Hood groupie, here.)

Yeah, I agree :) I watched it myself not so long ago (there is a review on my LJ)

But, Jack/Sawyer is really hot :)
