Locke is my 2nd favorite behind Ben. Ben is just so wonderfully evil and the way he is able the manipulate those around is astounding.

The whole show seems really hokey now. From the script, to the set.... everything.

I miss the old LOST of season 1 which was built around mystery, suspense and character development.

I have do disagree. the Sayid "atlernate reality" storyline was one of my favs. At one point I turned to my wife and said, "These men are going to die, and I'm going to enjoy watching it". And sure enough, Sayid came through for me (and his brother).

With regard to some of your criticisms toward Dogen's demise, I think you're missing some critical points. Dogen is able to convince Sayid to attack Flocke not because he made a compelling argument, but because he was able to prey upon Sayid's most vulnerable internal demons. Sayid has always wanted to believe that he was a good man (he says as much during the episode), but deep down inside he knows that he's cold blooded killer. In the end, Sayid always believed that his desire always trumped his killer instincts.

When Dogen hooks him up to the "torture machine" he learns that Sayid is not in balance (as Sayid had always believed) but is in fact more evil than good. So in the end Sayid wants to prove Dogen wrong and that is why he agrees to kill Flocke.

Also, I think the language around being possessed isn't correct. I think the right term is convinced. Flocke forces people to chose between what they think they want (to be good) and what they actually want (he promises Aaron to Claire and either Shannon or some other woman to Sayid).

I'm fine enough with what's going on. It's not really what I was expecting but I'm not really disappointed with any of it. I haven't been watching it since Day 1 so I guess I understand why people feel they are 'owed' a better show, but in my experience hype/high expectations will almost ALWAYS let you down. So far I'm just rolling with it. It's a little unusual in that the show has a different feel without true flashbacks... it feels as though what's going on right now has less and less to do with what happened in the first few seasons, because everything now is based off of NEW things; the temple; fake locke, both new.

I know what you mean but I'm too invested in Lost even though this season is such fail compared to 1 and 3.

Ch131.com posts the episodes that night usually. Quality is meh, but at least you can see it that night.

The last 5 or so episodes of this season will comprise the biggest television answer orgasm in history. I think they have been building the tension with question after question since ep 1, and they'll finally let it all explode out in a supreme climax of answers at the very end. I just hope its satisfying. Bring your towels folks.

Everyone wets themselves when it comes to "The Constant", but I venture to say that "The Shape of Things to Come", "The Man Behind The Curtain", and perhaps "The Economist" are superior episodes.

I love your story ideas, were you one of the writers from Lost that constantly got his ideas shot down?

 

[WorkingClassDude]

You should be writing the show.
