Journal Journal: Utterly Lame Shock Value -- (Lost Spoilers) 4
Oh wait. Thar be spoilers in dese hills. I'll wait while the folks who DIDN'T read the parenthetical in the title to avert their eyes and click the "Back" button.
Oh wait. Who am I kidding. This is Slashdot. And if you didn't read the title, then there isn't much I can do to prevent the spoilage since Journals (mistakenly) don't have an introtext/bodytext like stories do.
I'd submit a patch, but I doubt TPTB would take it. Oh yes! Smell the irony.
Maybe they'd take a patch for a <spoiler> tag. Hmmm....
Oh! I digress...
Enough spoiler space, yet?
Eh...that should do it...
Now it seems that Abrams and Lindelof (and primarily Liz Samoff, who wrote this particular bundle of joy) enjoy torturing their viewers. It took them a single episode to get me hooked, a half season to get the plot really moving, another half season (or more) to finally get to the mystery of the hatch, and a season and a half to finally get me to like Shannon.
And one scene to kill her off in the lamest piece of shock value I have seen on network TV in a looong time.
Now, of course, I'll be back to watch next week, being the shameless, addicted vidiot that I am, but it just irks me that as soon as they make a character worth watching they kill them off.
It's.... it's.... it's
Ah well, that's Boone gone, now Shannon gone. At least they didn't get rid of Michael. That would have really pissed me off.
You may now proceed to make fun of me in the comments...
