Ohkay so I know most of you were watching Idol last night and didn’t waste your time with the Lost season finale—and well I’m not sure which was a bigger waste of time. Nate and I were once huge Lost addicts but as the months went on and the story line kept getting bigger and stranger and since nothing was ever resolved it just seemed to become a lesson in futility. But last night they were finally advertising, “the answers you’ve been looking for,” seems like were not the only ones frustrated and confused. For instance, what ever happened to the polar bear and the giant invisible monster—they just seemed to disappear and NOBODY notices! Believe me, if I was living on an island with an invisible monster—I WOULD REMEMBER! Or the fact that dead people roam free—visions come to life and the lame can walk—yep, no one mentioned that. Instead they spent THREE hours filling me in on everything I missed when I gave up on the show and basically knocking off a couple of main characters—those aren’t answers that’s a sub-plot! And if you know this island how much you wanna bet their gonna show up again—I’d put even money on it. I guess it serves me right for believing the hype about answers—TV, unlike movies, books or any other coherent form of media—doesn’t need to have a decent plot line, they just need enough smoke and mirrors to get me to tune in every week—All of you that watch 24 know what I mean.
So here my husband and I skipped our date night babysitter to stay home and watch three more hours of our life go down the drain and the worst part is they got me hooked again—you know I’m going to tune in next season ‘cause I gotta know who “the good guys are” and where their taking Jack, Kate and that other guy. And what’s up with the four-toed mega statue? I swear, I seriously think that one of the writers is on some hallucinogenic drug and every so often they let him write in some cockamamie detail to screw with your mind. I don’t know maybe he’s the son of some high level TV exec so they can’t fire him.
Personally, I’m going back to CSI—no matter what day of the week there’s always a CSI on somewhere and at least they resolve every episode. And even when its bad its good. On Sunday’s the I HATE HORATIO KANE club officially meets at our house to watch CSI Miami. We count how many lines Kane has that are longer than eight words—I think the record is three. Try it someday—it’s quite a kick. In my opinion, Horatio Kane is a Clint Eastwood—Chuck Norris love child but hey at least there aren’t any invisible monsters—just good old fashioned dead people.

This is so funny--I loved the Lost finale! Eric and I just watched it...and as much as I am baffled by all the new info, I felt like there were a lot of things answered...don't worry I won't write a book here on this comment board, but we loved how they tied up some loose ends and then introduced others--so much mystery. I agree about the loud thing in the jungle and the polar bear--it bugs me that NO ONE on the island seems to remember that or be scared any more. I remember in the beginning, whenever anyone would venture out into the jungle, it was always a risk...and now even I forget that there could be something out there. There was that smoke monster, that had Locke, and either Jack or Kate or somebody shot it in that hole and it disappeared...still doesn't explain a lot, though. I just have to say, though, that I'm a huge J.J. Abrams fan, and I think he's an excellent writer; after all, my favorite shows in the past were Felicity and Alias, both of which he created and wrote. I'm interested to see how he did on Mission Impossible III--I've heard it was pretty good. Lastly, I agree with you about wanting my life back...I am so relieved that these season finales are all over and that I can turn off the TV this summer and do something more valuable with my time!! :)
