Lost - More like losing the will to live.
It's been a quiet week on In Fact, Ah what with the A Team doing their thing in Germany but we are delighted to bring you the musings of our newest female writer - Daisy Austen. Take it away Daisy
Is anyone else sick to the back teeth of Lost? As we near the end of the second series we are absolutely, in NO way, closer any kind of a resolution. Even as I write this I feel like throwing this computer out of the window and I would as well except I’m in work and everyone would think I was a crazy. (It’d be pretty funny though)
Anyway, you have to ask - are we really so thick that we keep watching what is basically the TV equivalent of a hamster running around in a wheel. We have been sitting in front of the TV for two seasons and it's just going on, and on, and on, and on. Is anyone else getting this feeling?
The last episode I saw, with Echo and whatshisname on the crutch, was like a bad acid trip. The script is weak, 80% of the episodes are lame and they throw in the odd good episode and pop-psychological conundrum that’s supposed to give ‘meaning’ to the whole thing. I mean who really cares why they feel the need to keep entering that damn code. JUST F**KING STOP ALREADY. And if you really do care, I’m sure you’ll find an explanation in some book on human conditioning in the local bookshop, which I might add would be a quicker and far less painful way.
If the makers of the programme are trying to reinvent the (hamster) wheel when it comes to TV then they should stop. People like a beginning, a middle, and an end. TV, as a medium, just doesn’t lend itself to the exploration of the human mind. We seek instant gratification from TV and while the makers of Lost are trying give us both instant gratification, as well as providing us with food for thought, I think they have lost (no pun intended) their way a bit. Anyone out there think otherwise?
Now, I live in four-channel land so maybe the reason for this rant is frustration at missing Big Brother this year, which I admit, is bad TV but at least, for the love of god, there is an END to it.
Anyway, I swear after this season that is IT, I’m finished with Lost. Enough is enough… unless of course they start with a REALLY good episode in season 3.
