Comment Corner

Folks,

Lost gets a lot of airtime on the Comment Corner, and well that it should. It's this decade's X-Files or Twin Peaks. It's the cult show with a hell of a subplot that people would blow themselves up in a crowded restaurant just to know the next crucial twist.

Some of Season 3 admittedly sucked ass. Actually, a giant bulk of the episodes sucked cock right up and past the knuckles. Nikki and Paulo were the worst two characters on ANY show period. When they died, I smiled. They embodied the absolute worst of what the show was degenerating into.

So, accordingly, I posted what was needed to fix the show. Since I'm fucking brilliant, JJ Abrams and the crew took my ideas to heart, renamed their kids after me and set about fixing the show.

For you non-believers out there who once watched the show but turned your head in disgust I say, turn back. Not so poetic? Eat shit. How's that for urban slam-poetry Mr. Percy Bysshe Fucking Shelley?

So tonight is the night that I see if Lost has truly redeemed itself. If so, I want to see the following:



SPOILER ALERT.

1. Charlie actually drown. Fuck that hobbit, Desmond foretold his drowning, now have the little gnat suck in healthy lungfulls of water.

2. Let's see Jacob. No random glimpses of Jacob in his angry jungle-shack. Let's see the bastard do something, but not something trivial like do up his fly after pissing on a fern.

3. Give some background on the Island that people can really chew in their mouth like good thick steak. What causes longevity or healing. Why did the Blackrock choose this Island to which to bring slaves? Something good.

4. The climax of the show had better give me a boner. Not just a chub, but a full-on concrete God-boner with which I could menace commercial aviation above my house. I want war, I want shit flying everywhere, I want to see a good glimpse of the over-all story arc for Season 4. Don't be mealy-mouthed pansies like Heroes.

5. As good as the end-scene was in Season 2, it didn't relate much overall to the storyline in Season 3 as Season 1's ending did to Season 2. Is Naomi working for Penny Widmore? Something tells me she's not, but I've been wrong in predicting shows before.

So, there you have it. That's what's needed tonight to make this the most redemptive season finale for a show that truly jostled and fell during the regular season.

Also, Kate in a bikini. Let's see that too. I don't give two shits if they even tie it into the plot, kind of like Halle Berry in Swordfish.

Last post-script. I'm watching the 9-11 pm version on ABC rather than the cut-in-half CTV version, so don't be posting spoilers from the first hour on here.
